The Label He Hates
Since November 3rd, Trump has been childishly ranting about the election, obstinately refusing to accept the inevitable. For the most part, his enablers have played along with his claims of massive fraud and even amplified his claims. There are now plans being circulated by Trump loyalists in Congress to actually steal the election from the voters on January 6th when both houses meet to tally the electoral votes and finally certify the election. That effort will fail, of course, but the damage Trumpists will do to our democracy is incalculable.
Let’s consider how we got here. One of these conclusions are true:
-
- Thousands of voting machines, run by Dominion Voting Systems, were manipulated by a server in Berlin to delete millions of votes for Trump and flip the votes to Biden. Dominion has links to Venezuela and its dead former president Hugo Chavez. Also, thousands of dead people voted for Biden, and thousands of volunteer vote tabulators added suitcases full of fake ballots, all in favor of Biden. Republican vote observers were denied access to the counting rooms in counties where Trump lost. Also, state legislatures violated the Constitution by making it easier and safer for legal registered voters to vote during an exploding pandemic. Mysteriously, all of this massive voter fraud and unconstitutional action exclusively benefitted Biden. While the election was being stolen from Trump, Republicans gained seats in the US House and kept control in most State houses. To accomplish this fraud on Trump, the conspiracy was massive, requiring thousands of politicians, career staffers, and volunteers all over the country to conspire to steal the election. Then all of those involved in the conspiracy committed perjury or just remained silent to cover their crime.
- More people voted for Biden.
From Merriam Webster:
: a scientific and philosophical rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.
In short, Occam’s Razor is used to “cut away” unrelated, irrelevant, extraneous, and confusing assertions to get to the true answer. For example, a fence post in a pasture is broken. a) That post was run over by a Unicorn chasing Bigfoot, or b) a nail in the old fence post rusted through. Answer b is the obvious, and simplest answer. The case of our two alternatives for the election is obviously answer 2.
So why is Trump in such severe denial? There are dozens of reasons including fear of criminal prosecution, running out of money, and narcissistic greed. The simplest answer? Being labeled A LOSER. He calls everyone he doesn’t like “losers” including dead soldiers and people who dare criticize him. To Trump, being a loser is a fate worse than any other. The ironic thing is that his behavior is keeping him in front of the American people as the sorest of sore losers. And, history will remember Trump as impeached, a one termer, and…
A LOSER
His malignant narcissism makes losing, being a loser, and being found out he’s a criminal all impossible for him to take. He was a mad man before being elected but now all that’s happened to him this year is sending him over the edge. Thus all the wild accusations of voter fraud, etc. to try and keep him from the inevitable. The really troubling part is how many repugnanticans buy into it- for various reasons. Power retention, fear of the cult turning on them and just plain being a lot like Trumpf are just a few.
1As of this morning on the election fraud and Russia hacking, what we’d expect has happened. Even though pompous pompeo came out and said it was Russia today, and worse than we thought, Trumpf says it was someone else- China. And of course they did it to gain access to our voting systems in order to make Hunter Biden’s dad president.
We have a mad man in the WH. It’s like an unbelievable teevee series. Expect it will be some day soon and will be interesting to see who plays who.
I wish Trump would just claim he worked so hard the last four years, he needs to rest up, he didn’t want to win the 2020 election anyway. Then he’ll return in 2024 (keep donating!), reinvigorated and ready to Make America Even Greater. Again.
Something for everyone.
2He is having a breakdown. I wish someone would organize a national loser parade day, where millions of Americans walked down their Main streets with banners announcing Trump’s a loser and Trump’s weak.
I think it might actually drive him into a drooling, gibbering episode of lunacy.
3Don’t know if this has been posted here yet, but this site has the full story of how Joe Biden stole the election:

4El Jefe, one of Steve Sack’s cartoons really needs to be framed and sent to the fu king moron as his official portrait. Really. It’s perfect for any wall in a tRump library. The rotundra will be known as “The Rogues Gallery.”

5A LOSER
6Franklin said something like “Two may keep a secret if one is dead.” Imagine how many thousands of people, from Germany to Venezuela to China to Delaware (I guess) would have to be part of this vast conspiracy, and you can see how insane it is. All the “evidence” comes from Q Qrazies and delusional folks like poor Mellissa Carone. No judge, even the Trump appointees, has entertained it for a minute. And still they persist.
7Harry Eager, I think he’s already at the drooling, gibberish, lunacy stage. One reason his handlers are keeping him under wraps.
8I love the “big loser” parade idea. Jan 6 would be a good day to do that because Trumpf was saying today there would be a lot of action that day. Need a million person march to intimidate the Trumpf paramilitary because he thinks they will save him and intimidate the senate.
style=”color: #ff0000″>The LOSER
9Jane & PKM. I have been thinking about that library. I posted this on FB this morning:
Let’s think about important things, like the Trump presidential library.
Such libraries are built with private donations and Obama’s cost around half a billion dollars. Does anyone think that, if Trump could get his hands on half a billion dollars, he would spend it on a library?
Also, since presidential records are now mostly digital, the libraries can be very small, at least as regards the actual document archives (and ignoring the statues, kitsch and such like that fill the display places).
In the interest of economy, I propose that a closed Rite-Aid in Queens could be renovated at little cost
10Remember, he has a mortgage payment of some $400 million due in a year or two. Thus far his grift has raised over $200 million. He’s half way there. Why should he stop now?
11Oops. You left one factor out of premise #1, El Jefe:
Biden, who is senile and has one foot in the nursing home and is incapable of doing anything right coordinated this scheme and perpetrated this massive crime upon 153.1 million American voters.
12Harry Eagar @ 10:
Um, I’m not so sure that the cost will be as small as you suggest. Lawyers are expensive and there would be massive legal bills associated with getting the people of Queens to allow Trump’s library to be built there. If it could be managed at all.
Just sayin.
13To the allegedly ‘liberal’ media: thanks for the memories. Dubya choking on a pretzel and falling off his mommy tires bike, meh. Sec of State John Kerry breaking a hip while racing his bike in the Alps having a remarkable recovery. Oh the outrage and chorus of “how dare he.” Latest poutrage, President-elect and First Lady Dr. Biden paying their respects at the graves of his wife Nelia and daughter Ashley who dies in a car crash 48 years ago, then on to his son Beau’s grave to pay their respects.
Please. When Republicons ask for civility when they cannot allow a family a private moment without outlandish remarks about visiting the cemetery for votes, I can wait. Civility. Yes. Your move Moscow Mitch and others. I’ll wait while you digest the fu king moron golfing when his brother died.
Both sides journalist? Meh. Cut the cable on you losers years ago.
14twocrows, in a win-win proposition Jane and I will donate the land. Donnie has always wanted a wall and we have need of a snow fence of nearly 100 meters in length. Considering what the fu king moron read of his PDBs in 4 years space for books will not be an issue. One stipulation: Donnie, his crime family, associates and basic MAGAts cannot contact us or any members of our family.
We will absorb all costs of hanging any framed mementos the WMDBS cares to share from the most excellent collection provided by Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself weekly as Friday Toons and other submissions that are factually reminiscent of the tRump years.
15Harry Eager @ 10, you almost had us. For certain we thought you would close with: the smallest band-aid box available at Rite-Aid. Albeit as intellectual property goes, that would be several sizes larger than needed for the tRump collection.
Hmmmmmm … maybe the shortest edge of a postage stamp dedicated to Donnie. Should be sufficient to contain 74 years of his thoughts.
16Steve @ 1:
17That’s a Texas sized 10-4 on the unbelievable teevee series. The old sayings “You can’t make this stuff up” and “this stuff writes itself” lost all meaning and frame of reference for me half a century ago. Also known as the first part of 2017. I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way that the repugnantly surreal absurdity of the last 4 years could’ve been concieved and scripted out woulda been by a team of writers like no other. Keep in mind this is like wondering who would kick who’s ass in a fight between Superman and Mighty Mouse.
I’m thinking a group of folks with the sensibilities and imaginations of Terry Gilliam, Vonnegut, Randall Flagg, Kenneth Copeland, and maybe Charlie Manson.
I don’t know who’d do the really wierd stuff.
Speaking of a teevee series, if you’re bored and want to see more about early donald and rudy G, check out the series “Empires of New York” on CNBC. Not a big fan of CNBC but my wife and I just watched the 1st 3 hours of a 6 hour series (yes, we’re bored). Very interesting. It features 5 of what they call titans of NY- Ivan Boesky, Leona Helmsley, John Gotti, the Donald and Rudy Giuliani. 5 similar extreme narcissists, 3 of whom are convicted felons, 2 are dead, then the Donald and Rudy.
18The series really shows how the greed and need for power shaped them, and image is everything- and they’re all fraudsters (Rudy more recently). What struck me is the hypocrisy of Rudy today with his relationship to Trumpf.
Late to this party, but had to laugh at the presumption that a broken fence post in a pasture would be the result of a rusted nail in the post. Granted, what breaks fence posts(or a fence) isn’t a unicorn chased by Bigfoot. But we bought a place with very old and neglected fences (why? It was next to our home.) R- rebuilt all the fence but the highway section, which we had done commercially.
Rust loosens fence staples and then anything that falls on the fence, from a tree to a 1000+ pound critter may snap the post at the ground if the post is weak wood (or very ages, much rotted wood.) Flash floods carrying a lot of heavy trash (tree trunks) can flatten a fence and all the posts the flotsam hits. But we have some old OLD fence posts, juniper heartwood and one or two that may be osage orange, that are still firmly in the ground until we dig away from around them, pour water in the hole, and rock those babies out whole. They are covered in nails and staples that look rusty but haven’t (apparently) damaged the wood at all.
But totally agree on no unicorns chasing, being chased, or themselves kicking at a post.
19History would be so different if DJT’s daddy had loved him.
20WA Skeptic. That’s what I’ve been saying for a long time
21Gahhhhh!!!! For all the *****ing whiners in the White House and elsewhere in the R party,I have only one thing to say – get the hell off the Cross. Jesus needs the room!
