The steal is stopped.
President Trump approved the head of the GSA, Emily Murphy, to sign the paperwork that starts the transition to President Joe. The rumor circulating in the White House is that he had his hand behind his back and that he had crossed his fingers. Film at eleven.
Approving the transition means that he acknowledges losing to a man that he couldn’t imagine losing to. Otherwise there’s absolutely NO reason for him to approve the transition if he thinks that he’s going to continue being President.
Trump also told his “team” to cooperate with Biden’s team. Rudy G. is going so far as to share hair dying tips. Sharpies will be in short supply though. Trump will need those for his upcoming court filings.
At this point it’s quite possible that Trump supporters will continue believing that he’s President even when he’s out of office. He’ll simply telling them that he’s renting out the White House so that he can run the country while cheating at golf at one of his golf courses.
They’ll believe it too.
Attempted Coup Continues.
None of this means that the Republican or Evangelical Parties will stop in their attempt to overthrow our government. No sir, buddies and buddettes. They are far from being done. They are playing the long game right along with the short game. They had to eat their shorts in the short game. (So where did that expression originate and do we want to know?)
In Florida a shadow candidate with no party affiliation listed and the same last name as the incumbent Democrat was apparently coordinated by a Republican operatives. The straw candidate didn’t campaign and didn’t pay for his campaign material that purported to support liberal issues. He pulled down over 6,000 votes. The Democrat lost. The ‘Latinas for Trump’ candidate won by 32 votes. Another race in Florida had a similar “ghost” candidate in the race.
We can look forwards to more of these types of perverse dirty politics in the future and may well see them in the ongoing senate races in Georgia where Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are seeking the office of Senator to keep Republican Moscow Mitch McConnell from continuing to hamstring government by denying help to desperate Americans while offering a helping hand to his wealthy friends as they line up their limousines to take them to the bank. (I’m kind of proud of that sentence.)
Given the chance they’ll try to throw the election again. It’s what they do.
The never surrender even if you’ve lost Trumpers are threatening to destroy the Republican Party in Georgia. Cheap talk. They won’t do it. They will NOT boycott the election. They don’t have the courage of their convictions any more than Trump did.
They haven’t got the guts!
They will continue.
Republicans aren’t the least bit hesitant to corrupt the legal system as well. This is why they have been busily appointing unqualified judges with lifetime appointments to the bench. They lost across the board with their election charges including at least one judge that was appointed by Trump. They submitted ZERO evidence of widespread fraud in spite of their public claims otherwise.
Trump’s lawyer team was utterly unsuccessful at turning over the election by using the court to thwart the will of the voters by throwing out the votes of those that voted for President Joe. We’re talking millions of votes here. Their court filings were as ridiculous as they were illogical. They wanted courts to throw out millions of votes. Didn’t happen.
This time.
While they’re at it.
Here are the names of the Republicans outed by Carl Bernstein as being contemptuous of Trump behind his back. This isn’t new information by the way. The Senators named are claiming that Bernstein didn’t talk to them. Of course not. His sources are those that they trash talked Trump to including their colleagues. Here’s the list. (BTW it isn’t complete.)
Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.), and Senate Majority Whip John Thune (S.D.). The other 18 GOP senators are Rob Portman (Ohio), Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Roy Blunt (Mo.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Mike Braun (Ind.), Todd Young (Ind.), Tim Scott (S.D.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Richard Burr (N.C.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), Martha McSally (Ariz.), Jerry Moran (Kansas), Pat Roberts (Kansas), and Richard Shelby (Ala.).
Georgia multimillionaire Senators Perdu and Loeffler didn’t make the list. They are too afraid of the Trumpeteers. They’ll support every malevolent policy that the Republicans pursue by marching in lockstep with the Party that comes before the country.
Come on Georgia!
Throw them out too!
