Another Trump Victory

 Well, Donald Trump is going out with one real accomplishment to be proud of.  We know that, in four years, he has not gotten over his fury at having less people show up for his inauguration than showed up for Barack Obama's

The Capitol building is now filled with more US troops than Iraq and Afghanistan combined, the Mall is apparently off limits to everyone, and there are fences all over the center of Washington, D.C.

So at least Trump has made sure that Biden's inauguration will have less people there than Trump's did.  Good going, Donald.  Shows what you can do when you put your mind to it.  Too bad you didn't do that well on Covid.

Wingnut Wrapup

If only it were that easy.

I have to admit I have been having trouble with Wingnut Wrapup lately.  It's not that right wingers are any less loony as a result of their humiliating attempt to overthrow the government; oh no, if anything they are even more crazy than before.  It's just that things are happening so fast that the items I find seem like quaint relics of a more peaceable time before I can even write a post.  Think what has now occurred has in any way caused them to rethink their self-subjugation to a malignant, sociopathic would-be dictator?  Think again, sucker.  And here is the proof.

And, just to get this out of the way, we knew this was coming:

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "BREAKING: GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Joe Biden on January 21 Over Abuse of Power"

Because they are going to do this for every Democratic President for the next three hundred years.  Democrats can know for certain that any power they use will be promptly misused by Republicans as often as they can get away with it.  This will be the first bill introduced by this Q-Anon loving, newly elected Representative.  Boy, is she off to a good start.

Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit:  "Rabbi Aryeh Spero: “They Not Only Want to Cancel Trump, They Don’t Want Us to Come Back — Like a Reign of Terror During the French Revolution”

You betcha, "Rabbi," we don't want you to come back.  Like the Covid virus- once was enough.  Unfortunately for us, here you are already.

Breaking: Trump Signs Insurrection Act! General Michael Flynn to Be Appointed Vice President!

And here I didn't know that Trump could fire his elected Vice President and appoint a new, even worse one, whenever he wanted.

"Robert David Steele: Italian President Arrested! Internet & Debit Machines To Go Down Within Hours!"

What does the Italian President have to do with debit machines?  Anyway, if you think this actually happened, you should skip Wingnut Wrapup and just go to the original sources. 

Mike Miller, Red State:  "Melania Trump Breaks Silence on Capitol Riot; Drops Beatdown on 'Salacious Gossip, False and Misleading Statements on Me'

Because that's what people care about now- liberals being mean to Melania and how that makes her feel.

Brandon Morse, Red State:  "What Happened On Capitol Hill Is Just a Symptom of a Larger Disease"

Right on, brother! Finally you are ready to admit how sick the Republican party is.  Wait, that's not what you meant?  I'm so surprised:

"But as was discussed earlier today, the penchant for violence has been a characteristic of the left for the past four years more than it has been in the past few decades. The left continues to set the pace for how discourse goes in America with every riot and mob."

Right wingers, who you guys have been egging on to violence for years, attack the Capitol with the intent of murdering legislators and the vice President, and it is clearly the fault of the liberals.  Well, what did we expect them to say?

And after that, surely it's time for a Conservative humor break:

Because the very idea that Trump would incite violence is absurd.  He is, after all, the chosen of God.  And because unity demands that Republicans can commit any crimes they want.  Democrats, on the other hand, can't even gossip about Melania without being revealed to be Satanic Communists.

Bonchie, Red State:  "Is Joe Biden a Gross Racist or Just a Senile Old Kook?"

The vital question of the day.  Except for maybe whether Melania's feelings were hurt by liberals pointing out that she is as bad as her husband.  And now for something truly loathsome:

Dennis Prager, Town Hall:  "In my last column, I described how I have come to better understand the moral problem of the "'good German,' the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime.

Watching America accept the rationally and morally indefensible physical and economic lockdown of the country, I concluded: "Apathy in the face of tyranny turns out not to be a German or Russian characteristic. I just never thought it could happen in America."

Yes, trying to stop a murderous epidemic by following scientific advice is just the same as murdering millions of innocent people.  Did I ever mention that Dennis Prager is one of the most loathsome human beings in history?  Want a little more from Dennis?  Well, here you are:

"In one week, it has gotten worse. Now we are faced with a lockdown on speech the likes of which have never been seen in America. And the parallels with Germany are even more stark. The left-wing party (the Democrats) and the left-wing media (the "mainstream media") are using the mob invasion of the Capitol exactly the way the Nazis used the Reichstag fire.

On Feb. 27, 1933, exactly one month after the Nazis came to power, the German parliament building, the Reichstag, was set ablaze. The Nazis blamed the fire on their archenemy, the communists, and used the fire to essentially extinguish the Communist Party and its ability to publish, speak or otherwise spread its message. Using the Reichstag fire as an excuse, the Nazis passed the Enabling Act, a law that gave the Nazi chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the power to pass laws by decree -- without the Reichstag."

Dennis goes on to claim that some private companies banning Donald Trump from their platforms is exactly the same as the Nazis doing away with the legislature and letting their dear leader rule the country any way he wants.  Remind me, Dennis, which party is it, exactly, that has tried to establish one man law in the United States?  And remind me, Dennis, which party, exactly, sent a violent mob to the national legislature to force them to do whatever the dear leader wants?  I often talk about projection, but this is really projection on a whole new level.

Ben Shapiro, Town Hall:  "Last week, the Capitol was breached by a group of fringe Trump supporters who had bought into a series of lies: the lie that President Donald Trump lost the election due to proven voter fraud and irregularity; the lie that the Electoral College results, legally certified state by state, could be overturned by Congress or the vice president; the lie that Trump would remain in office if only some sort of armed rebellion were to prevent the election certification by Congress. Those were lies. And those lies had deadly consequences."

Good so far, right.  But wait, there's more, because you know that Ben could not get through a single piece without being a total dick:

"That's because while the Democratic Party and the political left agree that Joe Biden is president-elect, they absolutely disagree with both the fundamental precept that violence in pursuit of political ends is a deep wrong and the even more fundamental precept that claims require evidence."

Strung you along and then gotcha!!  It's all the Democrats' fault!  They're the ones that are for lies and violence. Because of course.  Despite what we have seen this week.

Thomas Sowell, Town Hall:  "Is Truth Irrelevant?  For too many people, especially in the media, what is right and wrong, true or false, depends on who it helps or hurts politically."

See, it was just as wrong, for example, for Allied soldiers to kill Nazis as it was for the Nazis to kill millions in their death camps.  Who they were helping or hurting is irrelevant.  If it is wrong for Republicans to try to destroy our government, it is equally wrong for Democrats to demand that Republicans stop being racist bastards.  

Stephen Kruiser, PJ Media:  "The Morning Briefing: Republican Turncoats Are More Vile Than Democrats"

ALL Republicans are more vile than ALL Democrats.  Deal with that, Stephen.

Larry Elder, Town Hall:  "Twitter Permanently Bans Trump; Why Do Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Harry Reid Get a Pass?"

Why do you think, you dumbass?  Hillary, Jimmy Carter and Harry Reid did not, in my recollection, try a violent overthrow of the American government to make themselves dictators for life.

"If the House GOP Conference Doesn't Boot Liz Cheney From Leadership They Will Deserve What Happens Next"

What, a functioning government?  That really would be a tragedy.  For Republicans, anyway.

Time for some Conservative humor again:

Bet you got a good laugh out of that.  Apparently they don't remember Trump actually inciting sedition, even though it only happened a couple of days ago.  Well, whatever.

And now, let's finish with some material from the outer reaches of the right wing world:

"Exposure Of The Pedophilia Done By The Elite Is Going To Be Made Public In The Coming Few Days...Lin Wood is telling all patriots that full exposure of the Obama’s, Clinton’s, Biden’s and many more is coming in the next 10-14 days!"

Of course, they have been predicting this is "coming in the next 10-14 days" every week for the last three years.  This comes from Trump attorney Lin Wood, who had this said about him by a judge this week:

"A Delaware Superior Court judge slammed pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood in a Monday decision, revoking Wood's right to represent ex-Trump aide Carter Page in a defamation suit stemming from the Mueller investigation.

"The conduct of Mr. Wood, albeit not in my jurisdiction, exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication and surprising incompetence," Judge Craig Karsnitz wrote.

Karsnitz said that he is required to "ensure that those practicing before me are of sufficient character, and conduct themselves with sufficient civility and truthfulness..."

Boy, that's not a good job recommendation.  Unless, of course, you are a client like Donald Trump, who has no need for a lawyer who won't engage in "a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication and surprising incompetence."  For Donald, that is a feature, not a bug. And now, this good advice:

"Dear Patriots,

Some of you may recognize my name. I have daily briefing with POTUS and have posted here before a handful of times as a “helper”.  What I’m about to disclose is the most important post you’ll read before the inauguration."

Because sure it is. And because we believe you implicitly when you tell us you have daily briefings with Trump.  What about, his golf game?

What happens this week will change history. We are asking you, for now, to stay in your homes and do NOT under any circumstances interfere with the operation. You’ll soon see things unfold that many would think impossible. POTUS is insulated and 100% safe. Our plan is almost complete. The DS has already lost. Everything you’re seeing in the MSM and on Twitter is a last-ditch attempt. Why has Kamala not yet left the senate? Where is Joe? Where is Joe really? Hunter has turned himself in.

Joe is on TV practically every day, idiot.  And boy are we glad to hear that "POTUS" is safe from the violent jackass army that he created. 

DO NOT travel to any large cities (especially Philadelphia) for the rest of the month. Military operations will be taking place in many of the major corrupt cities. People will start rioting once this intel breaks thinking Trump is a military dictator. He only has 13 days to put this dog down."

"It appears there were some Special Ops members dressed as Trump supporters who went in with the crowd of protesters that were able to secure 20+ laptops w/hard drives with data regarding sex trafficking intel from both, Pelosi and Schumer’s offices."

The special ops members were dressed as Trump supporters because they are Trump supporters.  And of course, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer keep the evidence of their "sex trafficking" on laptops in their offices.  That makes sense. 

"Trump Has It 1000%!! Two Prison Barges To Gitmo Adding 12000 Inmates! Arrests Will Include Mayors, Former Presidents, First Ladies, Judges, Police Chiefs, Billionaires, Media, Hollywood! Humanity Will Be Shocked At The Horror Of Evidence!  Frosting On The Cake Are 15 Congress Laptops Including Nancy Pelosi's!!"

I repeat something I said above:  They have been predicting the same thing every single week for the last three years.  Hasn't happened yet.  Well, Trump still has a week.

"...there are people in the know you can trust. They are DJT, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Gen Flynn."

We dealt with Lin Wood above.  As for the others, you have a guy who has told thirty thousand lies in the last four years, a convicted felon and a patently psychotic lawyer who Trump himself fired for being too crazy.  You can trust them, for sure. 

"Child Lived In Deep Underground Military Base Cage, She Was Raped By A Reptilian And Trained To Be A Super Soldier"

That's what they are claiming. And it might be true.  Maybe.

"I Killed Bruce Lee with the Death Touch - Caution: Don't Use it Unless Your Life is in DANGER!"

That link was there too.  Must be true because all of these other things are so clearly true.

 

"TRUMPET NEWS ~ Russian Operatives Stormed U.S. Capitol?"

Yeah, that's right, it was Russian operatives, not right wing traitors. 

"Breaking: US Has Just Declared War on China!"

Too unimportant, apparently, for any mainstream news outlet to report it. 

"Demon Observed By Hundreds At Midday On Vatican Roof "

And on and on it goes. 

"None of the big boy politicians and leftist media have any place to hide. Trump and the military have all the proof of their crimes now. This includes, flights, bank accounts, meetings, emails, phone calls, laptops full of info on the election plot, players, witnesses, whistle blowers and machines. All this will be revealed soon by Trump himself at the right time."

All will be revealed soon by Trump at the right time.  Don't hold your breath, wingnuts.

Well, enough.  We will be having a lot to watch the next week or two, and then Green Eagle will proudly bring you the right wing explanation for the fact that not one damned thing they predict over and over again ever comes true. 

 

There Was Never Anybody So Screwed in All of History

 Mitch McConnell just came out in favor of impeaching Trump.

Who ever thought we would see that?  As I have been saying the last few days, if the brain damaged idiot had only had the sense to stay in Mar-a-Lago after Christmas and play golf for the last three weeks, none of this would be happening.  Never did a historical figure single-handedly destroy himself so thoroughly.  I'd call it a Greek tragedy except that at this point it is a comedy.

No pity now.  He's like a monster in a movie.  He must be utterly destroyed or we will see his minuscule hand clawing up out of the grave to torment us once more.

Impeachment vs the 25th Amendment

The President of the United States inciting treason against our country

There has been a lot of talk the last few days about whether Trump should be impeached or removed using the provisions of the 25th amendment.  To understand this, let's look at what the 25th amendment says:

"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."

This was clearly intended to provide for an orderly functioning of government when the President was incapacitated; i.e. prevented from carrying out his duties through no fault of his own.  When Ronald Reagan was shot, for example, or if a President had to undergo emergency surgery, his inability to function would not reflect in any way on his general capacity to carry out his duty, or his moral fitness to be President.

This is not at all what happened here.  President Trump is fully capable of carrying out his duty; he simply refuses to do it.  

Enacting 25th amendment provisions carries with it the implication that it is not any way the President's fault that he is unable to function; i.e. it absolves him from all responsibility for his behavior, and turns him from a villain into a victim.

Impeachment, whether or not the corrupt Republicans in the Senate once again refuse to carry out their sworn Constitutional duty (it is overwhelmingly likely that they will) marks Trump as the anti-American criminal that he is, not a victim of unfortunate circumstances.  Trump must be given no help in lying his way out of responsibility for what he has done.  Whatever action is taken must make it crystal clear that his behavior was evil and directly attributable to his own decisions.  Republicans must never be given ammunition to claim otherwise.

As I Have Been Predicting

 Trump still has one more grab for power in him:

The absolute insanity at this point of calling Joe Biden a "treasonous domestic enemy" and of declaring that it is Democrats "insurgents who have declared war against the United States of America" who have been "conducting an active insurrection in the United States" needs no comment, and yet here it is, from millions of deranged, evil people. 

This is truly the grand champion act of projection from these traitorous bastards.  If they do show up, they had better be met with a massive show of force, and those that refuse to disperse should be gunned down in the streets like the Nazis whose memory they worship.

And we are now of course hearing the naysayers and the both siders saying that we have to look ahead, not backward, and let Trump off the hook for his own acts of treason (and they are many) because otherwise these ignorant, violent right wingers might get even angrier at their phony injuries, and really start shooting the country up.  Well, let them.  Remember that the enemies of the country are both foreign and domestic, and let us see the domestic ones treated appropriately.  Yes, that may include killing a lot of them; too bad.  Sorry, Joe, much as you would have liked to start off with a clean slate, your first vital act as President is going to be to deal with the vicious fascist insurrection left behind for you by your predecessor.

And Republican Senators who failed to do your duty a year ago and rid the country of this subhuman monster, this is your fault too.  Every one of you who voted to plug your ears and not even hear the massive evidence of Trump's criminality and betrayal will forever be stained with responsibility for the fact that this is where the country is today.

In particular, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley...oh, don't even get me started on that.

Apparently, there are now 191 members of the House that are now openly committed to impeachment.  If the Democrats stop before finding the other 25 to complete the deed, they have committed a sin of omission  that will only compound the hundreds of sins of commission the Republicans have committed and intend to go on committing.

How Could He Be So Stupid

 All he had to do was spend the last three weeks of his term down there in Mar a Lago, playing golf and bitching about how unfair life was to him.  But No...he had to come back to Washington and get himself impeached for treason.

I'll tell you what- thank God that we had Donald Trump trying to pull this off.  If the criminal in the White House had only had an IQ of 85 instead of 75, he probably would have pulled it off.  But instead, we had a really stupid traitor.  

And here he is, the only President in history to end up being impeached twice.  I guess that will seal his place in history, although knowing Republicans, it probably means they will try to impeach the next three hundred Democratic Presidents in a row to get their revenge.  Anyone want to make a bet on how many milliseconds it will be before Louie Gohmert, Devin Nunes or some other wingnut jackass in the House tries to introduce an impeachment resolution against Joe Biden?

Be Prepared- Biden May Never Be Our 46th President

Just as Donald Trump has predicted, I am now saying there is a nearly 50-50 chance that Joe Biden will never be the 46th President of the United States.

Not in the sense he means.  Joe Biden may very well end up being the 47th President of the United States, with history remembering the 46th Presidency being the eight day term of President Pence.

Too Little, Four Years Too Late

 The Washington Post online today:

Everyone with half a brain knew since the beginning this was going to happen.  And I don't mean the beginning of Trump's Presidency- I mean sometime around the time of Reagan, when it became perfectly obvious that the leaders of the Republican party had determined to turn the United States into an autocratic dictatorship.  And just wait- the right wing lies about it are already flowing at full flood.  Don't you know that this entire thing was orchestrated and carried out by Antifa?  That is the line all over the wingnut world today, and they all instantly believe it, just like they instantly believe any of the thousands of lies they have been fed the last half century.

Within a few days, none of them will believe that the right or Donald Trump had a thing to do with this treason, and Trump still has two more weeks to give it another try.  It was completely clear since the election that Trump was going to try to engineer a fascist coup before he was done with us, if there was any way he could convince himself that he could get away with it.

We are lucky that, this time at least, Republicans have been as incompetent as they have been treasonous, so his coup turned out to be nothing but a cartoon rendition of Boris Yeltsin staring down a tank.  Of course the ultimate coward Trump was hiding in the White House rather than leading his rebellion, but you can be sure that he is going to give this one more try before he goes away, if he is not arrested.

A Comment on Today's Congressional Proceedings

 Ted Cruz is an unbelievable dick.

Material Connection Disclosure

 I got a solicitation e-mail this morning from Ted Cruz.  The usual bullshit:

"Over the past few days, I’ve been leading the charge by organizing ten other Republican Senators to demand Congress conduct an emergency 10-day audit of the election results in the states with disputed results."

Yeah, Ted.

What interested me was the fine print at the end of Ted's e-mail:

"MATERIAL CONNECTION DISCLOSURE: You should assume that the sender of this email has an affiliate relationship and/or another material connection to the persons or businesses mentioned in this message and may receive commissions from purchases you make"

Or in plain English, Ted is planning on stealing every penny you send him.  Nice of him to point that out.

Wingnut Wrapup

Trump wins the biggest moron of the century award, anyway.

There are some strange seismic shifts occurring in wingnut world the last few days.  I want to discuss this, but first, I want to talk about the Nashville bombing, which seems to be nothing but the work of a sad man who wanted the whole world to know when he committed suicide.  The following "explanations" for the bombing are all drawn from one source, Before it's News, which is an aggregator of right wing commentary that I have been following for some time.  Please note that every one of these articles could be found on this site at the same time:

"The Left Destroyed An At&t / Nsa Facility That Was Going To Audit Voting Machines...Yes, the left has elevated election theft to violence, destruction and murder. No one died at the blast site, they played a speaker telling people to stay away but prior to this they have been killing people."

It was the left, which prior to this has been killing people.  No details of that, for some reason.  This writer adds the following:

"Note the date of the tweet. This can no longer be found because the account has been suspended."

Gee, I wonder why that might be.

"There were also reports of Adam Schiff getting arrested which I refused to post, but since other people blew that one to the moon I might as well post that I did not miss that. I just chose not to post it. It is probably true."

It is probably true.  On some planet or other.

"Does Nashville Bombing Signal a CIA vs NSA War?  The Nashville bombing Christmas day, where a recreational vehicle exploded after giving an evacuation warning, points to a possible violent civil war emerging between factions of the US government itself, linked to the Trump-Biden election controversy."

Or maybe it's not the left, it's a war between the CIA and the NSA.  Yeah, that makes sense.  What would be a more logical act of war between US agencies than to blow up a bomb in downtown Nashville?

"Initial bombing reports spoke of ill persons and choking firefighters, and radioactivity being gauged, suggesting a nuclear-material ‘dirty bomb’. Six months earlier, on 22 June, the Nashville Tennessean newspaper had published a right-wing prediction of an ‘Islamic nuclear attack’ in Nashville"

Or it's a dirty bomb set off by Islamic terrorists, just like some right winger predicted.

"The Nashville Explosion (100% Deep Fake) From Targeted Dominion Voting Machines to the CGI Dog Walking Ghost in the 'Bombing' Video...So as soon as I heard about the Nashville Christmas Day (morning) Explosion the first thing that I did was punch the key words into the Gematrinator and shook my head knowing that it was an immediate psyop."

Or it was a psyop by the deep state.

"The Deep State has struck back against Trump with this Nashville bombing."

Or it wasn't a psyop, but it was done by the deep state.

"Could This Be A Prelude To Invasion? Global Pentagon Network Now Tied To Recent Event In Tennessee!"

Or maybe an invasion by the Chicoms, like the recent one reported in the wingnut press where US troops killed 20,000 invading Chinese soldiers in Maine, without taking a single casualty, and without anyone but right wingers knowing about it.

"Breaking: Nashville Explosion Was Actually a Missile Strike & the Target Was the AT&T/NSA Hardened Switching Facility “Spy Hub” 

Or it was a missile strike, not a bombing at all.  And it wasn't after voting machines, but a "spy hub."  Just like in the movies.  Bad movies.

"The former owner of the building is reportedly Cerebus Capital, which is tied to Yagoobzadeh, which acquired some ownership of Dominion Voting Systems."

Which proves that Dominion Voting Systems blew up the RV.

"Navy Seal Michael Jaco: High Tech Laser Used In Attack In Nashville...Kinda looks like the light that was seen prior to the forest fires in Northern CA.  The yellow RV was just a cover for the laser attack.  Why isn’t US Space Force tracking and taking out the satellites/ships firing the D.E.W.’s ?"

Or it's high tech lasers, set off by who knows who.  First they torched forests in California, then a street in Nashville.  Yup, I can see how that all ties together.

"Sun. 27 Dec. was not a good day for Joe Biden. The former Vice...appeared connected to the Christmas morning Nashville explosion that destroyed Election Fraud evidence...The Christmas morning Nashville explosion targeted AT&T which was awarded a contract for an audit of the Dominion Voting Machines believed to have switched Trump votes to Biden. The Tenn. incident appeared connected to destruction of a printing press that produced water marked ballots for the 2020 Election said to have proven that Trump won the election by an 81% vote."

And of course, Joe Biden must have been behind it.  And it was not about destroying voting machines or a spy hub, but about destroying a printing press, which for some reason was in an AT&T building.

"None of which, of course, was mentioned in the Mainstream Media that still claimed Joe Biden was President Elect."

None of any of the above was mentioned in the mainstream media.  I wonder why that might be.

And can I remind you that all of the above could be found on one wingnut website at the same time a day or two ago.  There is just no way to overstate the stupidity and willingness to believe anything that suits their purpose that you find among these people.  This is a part of our population who have been ruined, intellectually and morally, beyond any hope of repair.

___________________________________________________________________________

Now, let me discuss something rather strange, which I first noticed on Christmas day.  Suddenly a considerable number of right wing websites have just stopped talking about the election results being overturned by the courts, or even repeating their nonsensical arguments that the election was stolen by Biden and Dominion Voting Systems.  When I first noticed this, I thought that maybe they were just giving it a rest for Christmas, but no, they seem to be erasing from history all of those miserably failed lawsuits.  I mean, there still is some of it, but most of it is gone in favor of another psychotic delusion which I will discuss next.  

"Big News As Republicans Assemble To Challenge Electoral College On January 6th! The Battle Is On!"

"As President Donald Trump is expected to receive an unexpected number of Electoral College votes from states with ongoing controversies and contests relating to the 2020 presidential election, the opportunity is rapidly approaching for both Vice President Mike Pence and the Republican-led Senate to, with help from Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) in the South, deny the Electoral College votes of battleground states with suspicious or fraudulent election results.  One likely scenario is for Congress to eventually confirm 232 electoral votes for President Trump, and 227 for Biden."

A "likely scenario."  Likely in the event that the entire Republican party decides to destroy the experiment in democracy begun by our founding fathers.  In other words, sad to say, not that unlikely.

Ted Noel, American Thinker:  "It's for Mike Pence to Judge whether a Presidential Election Was Held at All..."

We all think we remember an election but maybe we were wrong.

"On January 6, a joint session of Congress will open with Vice President Pence presiding as president of the Senate.  His power will be plenary and unappealable.  You heard that right.  As president of the Senate, every objection comes directly to him, and he can rule any objection "out of order" or "denied.  the president of the Senate is the final authority on any motions or objections during the vote-counting.  There is no appeal."

There is no appeal.  No appeal to sanity, anyway.  I could go on and on with examples of this literally psychotic delusion, but I am sure you have heard enough about it already.  Time for some other delusions:

"Jeffrey Epstein is the Kraken"

The kraken is not any of the dozens of lies spewed out by Trump's lawyers in their streak of 60 losing court cases in a row.  It is actually Jeffrey Epstein himself, who is still alive (his supposed suicide being an example of Trumpian thousand dimensional chess) and is spilling the beans on all of the baby eating Democrats. 

"Trump is about to charge Pence with treason, as Pence prepares to flee the country...(Trump attorney Lin) Wood said Pence was a “trojan horse” in the White House who had been aiding and abetting “agents of evil” for almost four years...Wood went on a tweetstorm calling on the president to label Pence an insurrectionist and have him executed via a firing squad.  If Pence sides with the Electoral College, Trump intends to handcuff pence on the spot and hand him over to the military to face a military tribunal."

And in case you wondered, here are two photos that prove that Trump is removing Pence from official White House records:

The article claims that Trump had Pence removed from a White House photo in an absolutely Stalinesque act of pique.  Not that it would be beneath him to do this, but if you look at details of the images of Trump and Pompeo, you can see that they are not the same.  In fact, this is one of a number of pictures with various people that Trump had taken that day, in the same location.  But to wingnuts, this is proof that Trump is about to have Pence charged with treason if Pence does not sabotage 250 years of American government to keep Trump in power.

"People Dropping Like Flies From The Vax, Empty Hospitals And Tik Tok Nurses! Must See Video"

Just another lie.  Nobody has dropped like a fly from the Covid vaccine, or it would have been all over the news. As an added feature to this item, here is a picture of someone suffering from horrible side effects of the Covid vaccine, according to numerous right wing websites:

Horrid, huh?  Actually, this is a photo of a man who is suffering from a very rare reaction to acute alcohol poisoning, which must have been known to whoever found it, and was certainly easily discovered by me, right clicking the image and doing an image search.  This reminds me of one of the earliest deliberate misrepresentations I ever saw in my long pursuit of right wing lies, the following photo:

This is a photo of one Julia Pastrana, the Mexican bearded lady who was, early in the 20th century, a featured sideshow attraction at the Ringling Brothers circus, and became quite famous.  I saw the picture in the late sixties, in the Thunderbolt, an early right wing propaganda publication.  In that article, she was described as a crossbreed between a black person and an ape, proving that black people were not human.

"Ukraine Releases Bombshell Information on Biden Today!"

This story is actually from seven days ago.  I wonder where the bombshell went.

"Trump's Genius Plan May Just Work! Turns Out The President May Be 5 Steps Ahead Of Washington Again!"

The only way that he will be fives steps ahead of Washington ever again is when he runs out the back door of the White House with the silverware in his suitcase.

"Jerome Corsi: Biden Loses as States Decertify Biden Fraudulent Win"

From the man who brought you the Swift Boats.  Will it surprise you to learn that the number of States that have "decertified" Biden's win is currently zero, and is going to stay that way, because Biden won in all of them, and "decertifying" the already cast votes of the electors is not a thing?

"Donald Trump always looks like he’s going to lose just before he wins. In the end God always wins."

Trump is God.  Got it, Jerome.  And here is a little taste of what is going on in the rest of the world, while Republicans ignore open treason:

"China Shocked : The U.S. Military Easily Destroy Chinese Military Bases in South China Sea  Islands"

An open act of war, exactly equivalent to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Without a single word about this massive act of war making it into any mainstream news report around the entire world.  Those damned deep staters and their lying press!

"Educational side note: The entire two Party system was a fraud by the Talmudic Banksters post overthrow of our original organic Federal states compact government [Usurped in the 1860's by Crown / Vatican by THEIR Constitutionally - banned foreign agents"

We all love education, don't we?  That was our wingnut lesson for today.

And what would Wingnut Wrapup be without a little antisemitism?

Jews supported Nelson Mandela!  A proof of how evil they really are.

"Car Waxes are a SCAM."

Well, if they think it is important enough to cover, why shouldn't I?

"Masonic Werewolves In Utah."

That too.

"March 20, Trump called the State Department the “Deep State Department.” Standing behind him, Fauci made a dismissive hand gesture, dropped his head, and rubbed his forehead.  Trump took it as a personal slight. Trump doesn’t forgive or forget."

HE RUBBED HIS FOREHEAD!  TREASON!!!1!1!!  A personal slight- prison for life!

"Steve Quayle once told me that he was seeing unprecedented military movement in Montana. Today, scarcely a day goes by that I do not get a reported sighting of either Chinese or Russian troops on US soil."

And Bigfoot too, who is nothing but a Red Chinese agent.

"These sightings are common on National Forest Grounds."

Well, at least the Bigfoot sightings are.

 "In fact, what we are we seeing is the mobilization for war. Russia and China are preparing to invade the United States and they have been for sometime.  Out of patriotism and love of country: a great President was forged in the fire!"

A great President?  Which one? Because it sure as hell isn't Donald Trump.  If he was "forged" in anything, it was a pile of cow dung.

"THE UNSETTLING SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE US SPACE FORCE LOGO AND THE UNUSUAL CONFIGURATION OF THE FIRST NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP SACHSENHAUSEN"

The similarity is striking.  If you are Schizophrenic.

I mean, it's all so obvious when you think about it.  What better to design the Space Force logo after than the site plan of a Nazi concentration camp? 

"REAL? Executed: Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Woody Allen, Sandra Bullock etc etc #Adrenochrome #Frazzledrip #Hollywood"

What? They got Han Solo?  Well, I always did think Trump was some relation of Jabba the Hut.

And lets just finish on the following account of Trump's behavior after his already legendary phone call:

"Shortly after, an enraged Trump summoned Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to the Oval Office. Understanding the threat of Republicans acting against the interest of their party, Trump asked Rosen whether presidential privilege allowed him to arrest Raffensperger for “refusing to correct election fraud the likes of which no one has ever seen.”

“I got rid of Barr because he is a traitor, and weak,” Trump purportedly said to Rosen. “I brought you in. They say you’re a good man, a great man, a man who will tell me what I need to know. Something’s gotta be done about that guy [Raffensperger], can I do what I need to do?”

“You’re the president. You can do whatever you want,” Rosen said without missing a beat.

“Good answer. That’s what I need to hear,” Trump allegedly replied. “You’re much better than that Barr character.”

Trump then ordered Rosen to draft a formal accusation charging Raffensperger with several high crimes and misdemeanors, including seditious behavior, treason, fraud, and malingering in times of national peril.

“From what I’ve heard, Trump will act on the indictment only if the certification process favors Biden, which he’ll take as meaning nearly everyone, Democrats and Republicans alike, are complicit. If that’s the case, I don’t expect it’ll stop at Raffensperger. A lot of names might be dropping, and a lot of people might be going down between now and January 19,” our source said.

Charged officials, he added, will be tried as enemy combatants, which means the rights and provisions of the Geneva Convention do not apply to them, nor does the Constitution of the United States. They will not be prosecuted in open court; rather, they will be detained at GITMO to await a military tribunal."

And with that, I think I am going to pull the plug on this edition of Wingnut Wrapup.  I actually had quite a few more things saved, but really, when the President of the United States is more delusional and corrupt than any of these people could ever imagine being.  what's the point?

You might notice that I have not really dealt with the one hour recording of Trump attempting to criminally extort the Attorney General of Georgia into falsifying his State's electoral result.  I'll deal with that in another post today, I promise you.
