Life after Pussygrabber

President Trump to announce whether he’ll walk away from the Iran nuclear agreement.

We’ve become so accustomed to “President” Pussygrabber’s daily assaults on decency, presidential norms, law and order, and democracy (most of them via Twitter, much more like a pre-teen girl than anything remotely like a U.S. president) that we might not know what life without him will be like.

Well, for starters, it’s going to be much like it is right now: Finally defanged because he lost the November 3, 2020, presidential election by almost 6.2 million popular votes (and counting) and by a substantial 74 electoral votes, the uber-sore loser Pussygrabber has been quieter now than he’s ever been since he announced his presidential candidacy in 2015 (which he officially launched by bashing those from Mexico as “rapists” and other assorted criminals; as I noted at the time, while Adolf Hitler had the Jews to rally the disgruntled white masses to him, Der Führer Pussygrabber had the Mexicans).

Pussygrabber is quieter now because it’s always been all and only about him — his mouth-breathing supporters cannot or will not process this obvious, simple fact — and because he has become the one thing that he has eschewed being the most: a loser.

(Ironically, he’s such a colossal fucking loser that he’s losing — bigly! — at being a loser. Compare him to Al Gore, who actually won the 2000 presidential election but did not become president. [Gore, actually, in my book, was way, way too gracious.])

I have to surmise that a reason — perhaps the No. 1 reason — that Pussygrabber finally relented, allowing the official presidential transition to take place almost three full weeks after he lost the presidential election, is that he was thinking/hoping that his gun-toting supporters, most of them with chromosomal abnormalities, would emerge from their parents’ basements, fully armed with their military-grade weaponry that should be illegal for civilians to possess, and launch a widespread insurrection that would give him another four years and maybe even many more years after that.

Instead, for the most part, it was: crickets...

Ouch. That has to hurt.

The reason that Pussygrabber has held on for as long as he has — and I could give a flying fuck as to whether the Loser in Chief ever concedes, as we, the people, and as history don’t need his fucking concession, because he objectively fucking lost the 2020 presidential election by a significant margin — is that he knows fully well that without the bully pulpit of the presidency (and he really put the “bully” in the “bully pulpit”), he’ll recede back into the relative nothingness from which he emerged; Pussygrabber the vermin will have to return to beneath the gilded rock from which he slithered.

Indeed, his heaven — in which it’s all about him, 24/7/365 — is our hell. Being a nobody is his hell, and we, the people, have just sent him back to hell with our votes that he and his ilk never wanted to be counted.

So of course Pussygrabber, one of the biggest losers in U.S. history, will continue to snipe from the outside looking in, as he did starting no later than during the Obama presidency (especially with his racist, xenophobic, white-nationalist “birther” bullshit), but only his most insane-by-definition supporters will give a fuck what he has to say anymore, and they’ll continue to be a small but an obnoxious and loud minority.

And what kind of president will Joe Biden be?

He’ll be a lot like Barack Obama, from what I can tell. He’s even reused a lot of Obama’s old lines, such as the God-awful, “There are no blue states and red states, but only the United States.” (I paraphrase, but that obviously false, anodyne assertion is so fucking lame that I don’t need to get it word for word.)

The 78-year-old Biden, who was in the U.S. Senate, a huge fucking bubble of privilege of its own, from 1973 to 2009, before he became vice president (an even bigger bubble) for eight years, appears to be so trapped in the past that if there is any progress to be made during his presidency (and the presidency is the biggest bubble of them all), we’re going to have to rely on the talent that he surrounds himself with. (Janet Yellen as treasury secretary thus far more or less seems to be a good start. [Obama picked the slimy Timothy Geithner…] But we’ll have to see.)

As the pattern has been, incoming Democratic President Biden will be largely hamstrung by the mess that he inherits from his unelected wrecking ball of a Repugnican predecessor, which will make actual progress difficult to achieve; it’s hard to progress beyond the baseline when you’re still trying to get just back to the baseline after those who just went before you (that is, Repugnicans, of course) fucked everything up to hell.

(The last unelected Repugnican “president,” George W. Bush, left Barack Obama with a nationwide economic collapse, while Pussygrabber is leaving Joe Biden with not only a nationwide economic collapse, but also with a pandemic that is worse now than it ever has been.)

I’m hopeful that after the two U.S. Senate seats for Georgia are decided in the run-off elections in early January, the 50-50 split in the U.S. Senate will mean that the Democrats will control the Senate, but, of course, the Democrats controlled the White House, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in the first two years of Obama’s presidency, and from that trifecta we got only Obamacare. (You know that the wealth-care — er, health-care-insurance companies were distraught over a federal law requiring you to buy their for-profit product or to be financially penalized. And the Repugnicans called Obama a “socialist”…)

So history has shown that even when the Democrats do control it all, they’re excellent — unmatched, in fact — at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Don’t expect much of the Democrats over the next two years, even if they do capture control of the Senate.

President Biden might, in the end, prove to be bolder and more accomplished than the perpetually above-it-all, chronically aloof Obama was, but, again, methinks that we’re going to have to depend more upon his team than upon him if that’s to be the case.

And then, before we know it, will come 2024.

Will the Repugnicans allow Pussygrabber to fuck it up for them? It’s unprecedented at least during my lifetime of just more than a half-century that a “president” loses a second term and then runs again for a second term later, but of course this is Pussygrabber that we’re talking about; you have to even actually know what the precedent is before you can actually follow it.

I surmise that the majority of Repugnicans today suspect, correctly, that Pussygrabber would fail to win the 2024 Repugnican presidential nomination. Loser just isn’t a good look. You want to front a winner, not a certified loser, as your presidential candidate.

I think that a great many Repugnicans, especially those now in elected office worried about their next primary election, are just being quiet about what they actually think about Pussygrabber actually trying again in 2024.

I think that they think, correctly, that he’s going to fail, and so they’re just going to quietly let him fail while avoiding, as much as possible, his venom and bile being spewed at them, jeopardizing their political futures.

Should Pussygrabber actually manage to win the 2024 Repugnican presidential nomination, which I think is unlikely but not impossible, not only do I not see him winning a second term, but I could see him bringing down the rest of the party with him, since it’s always only ever been all about him. I wouldn’t mind watching that karmic spectacle.

In the meantime, expect the civil war within the Democratic Party to heat up again. Removing Pussygrabber from office was Job One, and so the Democratic Party’s infighting died down greatly after the Democratic-in-name-only establishment rapidly closed ranks, right before Super Tuesday, to tank Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and to elevate (like Lazarus) Joe Biden’s moribund presidential campaign, but now that the mission of putting another centrist, do-nothing, corporate-friendly “Democrat” in the White House as Caretaker in Chief again has been accomplished, the intraparty warring will heat up again.

And on that note, no, the so-called moderate Democrats — the DINOs — didn’t lose House seats in the 2020 presidential election because of other, actual Democrats (that is, progressives).

When you are running as a Repugnican Lite — when you are running away from the progressive ideals that made the Democratic Party — the voters will see that you cowardly are running away from your own party, and — who knew?they won’t fucking vote for you, because no one wants to vote for a fucking coward. If you’re going to pretend to be a Repugnican, they’ll just go ahead and vote for the actual Repugnican, not for the pretend Repugnican. (So memo to the DINOs: if you want to run as a Repugnican — then fucking become a fucking Repugnican!)

This political dynamic is so fucking obvious, yet the “moderate” “Democrats” repeat it over and over and over again — ensuring that I’ll have plenty to blog about in the years to come.

It’s past time to ‘stop the steal,’ indeed

A “Stop the Steal” rally at the Pennsylvania State Capitol was one of the nationwide demonstrations on Thursday contesting the process of determining the next president.

New York Times news photo

These fucking fascist fucktards, whose rank hypocrisy is unparalleled, have no problem whatsoever with an election actually being stolen — as long as their Führer Pussygrabber is the one who is doing the stealing.

“Stop the steal,” declare the signs of the grammar-challenged fascist fanatics of “President” Pussygrabber — even while Pussygrabber himself is trying very hard to steal the presidential election.

Indeed, Pussygrabber right now spectacularly is showing us not only why he was impeached, but why he lost the November 3 presidential election: because he’s as corrupt and treasonous as fuck.

Because Pussygrabber’s bogus election lawsuits are failing in the court system — because in a court of law, you actually have to back up your conspiracy-theory claims with actual facts and evidence (who knew?)Pussygrabber has resorted to political extortion to try to steal the election from the majority of the American people who voted him out of office.

(Right now in the counting, Joe Biden, with almost 80 million votes, is at 51 percent of the popular vote to Pussygrabber’s 47.2 percent [comparatively, he’s approaching only 74 million votes].)

It’s simple, really: If you are trying to anti-democratically reverse the will of the nation’s voters, then you have committed a felony and you belong in prison. (Well, in my book, you also have committed treason, and in my book, the perfectly appropriate punishment for such high-level treason is execution.)

This applies not only to the “president” himself, but to all of his lickspittle toadies, such as Lady Lindsey Graham, the belle of South Carolina, who reportedly asked Georgia’s Repugnican secretary of state to simply abuse his power and invalidate Joe Biden’s win of the state.

Talk of “unity” and “national healing” and the pathetically tired Obamian-Bidenian platitude “There are no red states and blue states, but only the United States” is utter bullshit.

With today’s treasonous Repugnican Party we still are dealing with the remnants of the fucking treasonous Confederacy.

You don’t negotiate with fucking terrorists: you fucking crush them.

So numb have the American people, even Biden’s voters, become to Pussygrabber’s perpetual parade of high crimes and treason that there isn’t a bigger outcry than there is to the fact that Pussygrabber actually is trying to simply invalidate entire states’ presidential election results and have the results of big cities — which of course went to Biden, as mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, MAGA-cap-wearing hayseeds tend not to live in big cities — simply invalidated because he lost those cities to Biden.

These are the actions of a fascist dictator, not of an American president.

We’re all too calm about this treasonous bullshit, which is why Pussygrabber persists: He perceives that we’re never going to come after him with torches and pitchforks.

It’s past time, methinks, to ready those torches and pitchforks.

I don’t know that we have to wait until after January 20 comes and goes to save what’s left of our democracy from the twice-unelected right-wing demagogue who has been the biggest threat to our nation than any foreign actor has been in the modern era.

Come January 20, though, if Pussygrabber still occupies the White House, I’m going to join the mob in the streets myself.

This is the stuff of which civil wars are made, and we’re long overdue for a rematch anyway.

Only this time, we Americans who truly believe in the sanctity of the democratic process and who value true freedom need to finish the job that we failed to finish the first time.

‘President’ Pussygrabber the sore loser tries to burn it all down on his way out

Political cartoon

If “President” Pussygrabber can’t have it, then no one can have it.

Soon-to-be former “President” Pussygrabber is demonstrating amply, with his beyond-pathetic post-election temper tantrum, why the majority of the American people dumped his whiny orange ass in the November 3 presidential election: While COVID-19 not only continues to burn down the nation, but now does so at a rate higher than ever before*, it’s all about Pussygrabber and his fucking ego.

“Whatever Trump Is Doing, It Isn’t a ‘Coup,'” Slate.com recently correctly pointed out.

Thing is, Pussygrabber doesn’t have the popular support for anything like a coup. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that “Nearly 80 percent of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the November 3 election.”

If it went to the streets en masse, Pussygrabber’s fascist followers would rack up some kills, I’m sure, but they’d lose the civil war (again…).

Pussygrabber would need to have a lot more popular support than the small but obnoxiously loud support of the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, MAGA-cap-wearing, flag-waving fucktards that he has now in order to remain, illegally and anti-democratically and treasonously, in the White House. (And note that among Pussygrabber’s supporters, the Pussygrabber flag has so largely supplanted the U.S. flag, demonstrating that Pussygrabber’s followers’ allegiance is to him, the would-be dictator, not to the nation.)

I’m sure that it sucks to lose a presidential election. But when you lose, you go.

And no, this election wasn’t close enough for Pussygrabber to be able to steal it, not with Biden’s popular vote lead of 5.6 million (and still counting), which puts him at 3.6 percent above Pussygrabber, and with Biden’s probably having sewn up 306 electoral votes to Pussygrabber’s 232.**

So what has happened since November 3? We’ve heard the least from loser Pussygrabber’s pie hole since he lost the popular vote in 2016 yet still became “president,” which is something to be thankful for as Thanksgiving approaches and as the God-awful 2020 comes to a close, but, again, Pussygrabber’s behavior now underscores amply the fact that it’s always been all about him.

And to further demonstrate his rank treason, Pussygrabber is doing his best to hobble President-elect Joe Biden’s transition and is trying to wreck Biden’s presidency before it even has begun.

But this isn’t an attack just on Biden; this is an attack on us, the majority of the American people, who either voted for Biden or who (like yours truly) did not vote for Biden but who recognize that Biden is the winner of a fair-and-square, democratically conducted election that the experts on election security say had no widespread problems, including any of the widespread voter fraud that Pussygrabber and his lickspittles incessantly pathologically lie about because they and their petty personal concerns are far more important than is the national interest (not that that makes them traitors or anything…).

To my knowledge, Pussygrabber doesn’t have to participate in any transition at all; he just has to vacate his sorry orange ass from the White House come January 20 — or we, the people, gladly will remove him from the White House, if it comes to that.

Indeed, one of the wonderful things about having a “president” who had held no previous elected public office is that pretty much on a daily basis, Pussygrabber has violated presidential norms because he has treated the nation as just an extension of his bankrupt-ridden, corrupt personal business empire.

(It’s a great idea for a “businessman” or a “businesswoman” to hold elected political office! Yes, the sociopathy and the rampantly illegal behavior of the members of the business class, who routinely shit and piss on the public good for their own personal profiteering, is just what we need in our government!)

Pussygrabber is so awful that, without flinching, he’s able to violate presidential norms (norms that have existed since forever) because these norms weren’t codified into law. (Not that following the law at all matters to Pussygrabber & Co., either, however.) So self-evidently necessary were these norms considered to be that apparently no one really thought that they needed to be codified — until now.

And this will be Pussygrabber’s “presidential” “legacy”: He allowed COVID-19 to ravage the nation to the bitter end of his term because the pandemic just wasn’t in line with his own personal and political goals. He lost the popular vote twice. He is a member of the small club of one-term presidents — and a member of the even smaller club of impeached presidents. He came into the presidency kicking, screaming and whining, and he left it kicking, screaming and whining, while breaking long-standing presidential norms every single day of his chaotic, democracy-corroding tenure.

He brought the nation to the precipice of fascism — and we, the people, put an end to his rule.

P.S. So why is Pussygrabber hanging on, refusing to concede the election that he so obviously lost?

First and foremost, I think, it has to do with his sick and twisted personal psychology, the severe psychological damage that never has allowed him to be anything like a normal, fairly well-adjusted adult. He’s all ego.

Pussygrabber refuses to admit defeat, even when it’s glaringly obvious, and he can’t bring himself to suck it up and allow the winner to have the win — because he’s all ego.

Also, though, it’s all about the Pussygrabber brand, and loser isn’t a good look for the brand, is it? Pussygrabber is, I think, looking after his little business fiefdom for after his stint as “president,” and he perceives, probably correctly, that if he acknowledges that he lost a second presidential election in a row, his brand will take a hit.

Therefore, expect him to never admit publicly that he lost the 2020 presidential election. That’s fine, though; he doesn’t have to concede for him to have to vacate the Oval Fucking Office.

A concession after a clear electoral loss is the norm, but a concession is not legally necessary. What’s legally necessary to become or to remain U.S. president is that you win the Electoral College — and while Pussygrabber eked out an Electoral College win in 2016 while losing the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, he couldn’t replicate that anti-democratic feat again this year.

Finally, of course, I’m sure that Pussygrabber would like to avoid going to prison. Come January 20, he’ll lose presidential immunity to criminal prosecution. And all of the prosecutors who want to prosecute him will have to take a number.

Pussygrabber’s being prosecuted after January 20 wouldn’t faze his base of uber-gullible, fascism-loving, abject fucktards, who forever will see him only as a “victim,” but the media coverage of Pussygrabber’s prosecutions would only remind the American people of the chaos and the drama that perpetually surround Pussygrabber should he actually attempt to regain the White House in 2024.

(Frankly, I don’t think that Pussygrabber would survive the Repugnican presidential primary of 2024 — because he is a loser. And no one wants to nominate a loser.)

P.P.S. Speaking of which, I remember the “Sore Loserman” meme that the Repugnicans started in 2000 when they stole the presidential election from Al Gore.

Keep in mind that in 2000 George W. Bush officially “won” the pivotal state of Florida by only 537 votes (like Pussygrabber, losing the popular vote but “winning” the Electoral College) — when Gee Dubya’s brother Jeb was the governor of Florida and when Repugnican Party hack Katherine Harris was the state’s chief elections officer and was the co-chair of George W. Bush’s presidential campaign in Florida at the same fucking time.

Yet the Democrats who fought this blatant presidential election theft — which ultimately was aided and abetted by the wingnuts on the U.S. Supreme Court — were deemed by the thieving, treasonous Repugnicans to be “sore losers.”

Biden’s lead over Pussygrabber in each of the battleground states that Pussygrabber & Co. are filing their bogus, losing lawsuits in now far exceeds 537 votes, but it’s only the Democrats who can be “sore losers,” you see.

I fucking despise Repugnicans. They are fucking liars, hypocrites and traitors. It’s a shame that after the Civil War we let the traitors who now comprise the Repugnican Party, who are the descendants of the Confederacy, in spirit if not also in their DNA, live.

*Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we’re at almost 250,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19, and we are approaching 11 million COVID-19 cases in the United States — rapidly approaching an all-time high of 200,000 new cases identified per day.

**As long as Biden keeps Georgia, which he probably will, he’ll be at 306 electoral votes. But even were Biden to lose Georgia (pretty unlikely), he’d still have 290 electoral votes — 20 more electoral votes than he needs for the win, so Georgia’s ultimate outcome doesn’t matter in terms of the Electoral College victory.

Why didn’t Biden do better?

Associated Press photo

OK, to some degree, the title of this post is clickbait, I suppose.

I mean, President-elect Joe Biden did quite well against an incumbent “president”; “President” Pussygrabber’s ouster was the first of a one-term president since 1992, when Bill Clinton relieved us of the God-awful George H. W. Bush.

The Washington Post notes that “Now Trump joins history’s bitter club of one-term presidents — those who were elected, served one full term, and tried and failed to be re-elected.”

Of course, Pussygrabber also belongs the the even more exclusive, probably even more bitter club of impeached presidents.

Still, right up to Election Day, Real Clear Politics’ average of the nationwide polling had Biden beating Pussygrabber by 7.2 percentage points, but thus far in the counting, Biden has won 50.5 percent of the popular vote to Pussygrabber’s 47.7 percent — a difference of only 2.8 percent. (In 2016, Billary Clinton won the popular vote by 2.1 percent, so thus far, anyway, Biden did only marginally better than did Billary.)

Why hasn’t Biden done better than the polling had suggested he would?

My guess is that it’s because more Democrats than Repugnicans don’t vote, thus creating an overcount of Democrats in the poll results, and also perhaps because Pussygrabber voters are more likely to give pollsters answers they feel are politically correct, thus creating an undercount of Repugnicans in the poll results. (A Repugnican too embarrassed to admit his or her intent to vote for Pussygrabber might falsely claim to a pollster that he or she is undecided, for example.)

Also, of course, let’s not overlook the fact that a pillar of the Repugnican Party is to suppress the Democratic vote. (This is a little bit heartening, in a sense, since you need to cheat only if you are losing in the first place.) It’s hard to estimate how many people, usually Democratic voters, would vote if the Repugnican lawmakers of their states hadn’t put so many obstacles between them and the ballot.

Still, a win is a win — yes, even a Democrat’s win — and again, for having challenged an incumbent, which usually ends in failure (Hi, Mittens Romney! Hi, John Kerry! Hi, Bob Dole! Hi, Walter Mondale!), Joe Biden did well.

Biden is on track to receive a total of 306 electoral votes — assuming that he keeps his current leads in Arizona and in Georgia — and Pussygrabber is on track to receive 232 electoral votes, assuming that he keeps his current lead in North Carolina.

Any Pussygrabber supporters who claim that Biden’s win is too narrow for him to have legitimacy need to be reminded that not only has Biden won the popular vote, whereas Pussygrabber lost the popular vote in 2016 (and this year, too), but that in 2016, Pussygrabber won 306 electoral votes (well, because of two “faithless electors,” Pussygrabber’s final, official electoral-vote tally actually was 304). So if Biden isn’t legitimate with “only” 306 electoral votes, then Pussygrabber certainly never was legitimate.*

I long have noticed that there are two different standards for the two duopolistic parties: A narrow win — even a loss of the popular vote — is deemed as a Big Win for the Repugnican Party (even a “mandate,” to some nut jobs/fucktards), whereas even when the Democratic presidential candidate wins both the popular vote and the Electoral College, even Democrats diminish the win by asserting that the Democratic candidate should have done better.

We need to examine why this double standard exists — and then we need to eradicate it.

In the meantime, in both the popular vote and in the Electoral College, when the ballot counting for the November 3, 2020, election is over and official, Joe Biden will have done better in the Herculean task of ousting an incumbent “president” than Pussygrabber did in 2016 to get his one term.

P.S. On the matter of control of the U.S. Senate, in January there will be two run-off elections for the two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. These run-off elections will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate, and thus there will be much nationwide attention on them.

I encourage you to donate to the Senate campaigns of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, as I already have done.

That said, should the Repugnicans maintain control of the U.S. Senate during Biden’s first two years in office, we will weather it.

Should the Repugnicans keep the Senate in 2021 and 2022, I expect them to lose it come January 2023, because the American people will punish them for subverting the will of the majority of the American people, as clearly was expressed in Joe Biden’s victory and in the Democrats’ keeping control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

So if the Republicans keep the Senate, no handwringing, please, and let’s go ahead and cheerfully give the Repugnicans traitors (redundant) the rope with which to hang themselves, if it comes to that.

*As I have noted, in my book, if you haven’t won the popular vote, then you aren’t the legitimate president. Thus, I never have and never will consider the administrations of George W. Bush or of Pussygrabber to ever have been legitimate from the get-go.

And, of course, the Electoral College sorely needs to be abolished.

And while we’re on the subject, we need to do something about the fact that Repugnican voters are overrepresented in the U.S. Senate, while Democratic voters are underrepresented there. The U.S. Senate — and, by extension, the U.S. Supreme Court — constitute crazy minority rule that flies in the face of democracy.

Both the anti-democratic (and anti-Democratic) U.S. Senate and U.S. Supreme Court sorely need to be overhauled.

(I’d pack the U.S. Supreme Court, absolutely — I’d give it at least a total of 12 members — and how would I reform the U.S. Senate? I’d keep it at 100 members, but I’d guarantee each state only one U.S. senator, not two. Then, after giving each state just one senator, I’d reallocate the remaining 50 seats based upon each state’s population — meaning that some states would get two senators and some, the most populous states, would get more than two senators.)

The American people to ‘President’ Pussygrabber: YOU’RE FIRED!

It’s almost all over except for his tantruming.

The 2020 presidential election results aren’t official yet — they won’t be until after every valid ballot is tabulated (which, of course, the anti-democratic, treasonous Repugnicans again want stopped) and after any and all legal challenges are dismissed or otherwise resolved — but The Associated Press right now gives Joe Biden 264 electoral votes, just six electoral votes shy of the necessary 270 for the win.

The states that haven’t been called yet by the statisticians (at least those statisticians who work for the AP) are Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — and Biden needs to win only one of those four outstanding states to reach 270 electoral votes.

Even Nevada, with its six electoral votes, will do, and right now Biden is ahead of Pussygrabber in Nevada’s counting, and Georgia right now is very close — 49.6 percent for Pussygrabber to 49.2 percent for Biden, per The New York Times.

Biden needs only Nevada, which it looks like he’s going to get, but I’m hoping that he wins Nevada and at least one more state to put him over the 270 electoral-vote minimum.

Don’t get me wrong; a win is a win, but with every electoral vote over 270 that Biden wins, his political hand — and, by extension, the political hand of the clear majority of Americans who voted for Biden over Pussygrabber (or who, if [like yours truly] they didn’t vote for Biden, at least recognize that Biden won the election fairly and squarely) — is even stronger.

Recall that Pussygrabber lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes in 2016; and right now, per the Times, he is behind in the popular vote by 3.7 million votes. (The AP notes that Biden, with more than 71 million popular votes, has won more votes than any other presidential candidate in U.S. history.)

Yet Pussygrabber and his mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, MAGA-cap-wearing zealots of course are claiming that Pussygrabber won, even though when it’s all over but Pussygrabber’s wholly predictable perpetual tantruming, it will have been established, legally and officially, that Pussygrabber lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote decisively.

What should we, the majority of the American people who recognize that Joe Biden is the lawful, rightful winner of the presidential election do if Pussygrabber & Co. nonetheless treasonously try to remain in power?

It’s simple, really — if our established system doesn’t do its job and remove Pussygrabber from the White House, then we, the people, will have to do so. By any fucking means necessary.

The alternative is to accept a third-world-style right-wing dictatorship.

That is not a fucking option.

Three reasons why ‘President’ Pussygrabber is going to lose

Our long national Dumpster fire is almost over.

It rankles me when people sloppily compare the 2020 presidential election to the 2016 presidential election.

Many had thought that of course Billary Clinton would win in 2016, hands down, no question. However, the polling never did bear that out, and, especially in hindsight, it amounted to wishful thinking.

Right up to Election Day 2016, Billary Clinton was up over Pussygrabber by only 3.2 percentage points in Real Clear Politics’ nationwide polling averageway too close for comfort.

In the end, Billary won the popular vote by 2.1 percent — so the polls in 2016 actually were more or less correct, within the usual margin of error for polling.

The polling had Billary winning the popular vote in 2016 — and she did so. The monkey wrench was the fucking Electoral College, which both in 2000 and in 2016 allowed the candidate who had lost the popular vote to take the White House nonetheless — resulting in minority rule in this so-called democracy. (And we wonder why so many people don’t vote…)

This year isn’t 2016.

Right now, Hidin’ Joe Biden’s lead over Pussygrabber in Real Clear Politics’ nationwide polling average is more than twice of that which Billary had; Biden right now is at 7.2 percent.

Could Biden still lose? Yes. But it’s pretty fucking unlikely. Fivethirtyeight.com right now, as I type this sentence, gives Biden an 89 percent chance of winning, Pussygrabber a 10 percent chance of winning, and the chance of there being a tie in the Electoral College (which would be a fucking nightmare) at 1 percent.

(Further, fivethirtyeight.com’s national polling average has Biden at 8.6 percent ahead of Pussygrabber. Fivethirtyeight.com is [probably wisely] pickier than is Real Clear Politics about whose polls it includes in its averages.)

So, I don’t necessarily have a certain order for my three reasons as to why Pussygrabber is going to lose, but we’ll call the first one the fact that Biden’s nationwide lead over Pussygrabber going into Election Day is more than twice of that of Billary Clinton in 2016.

Two (again, no real order here, though), the nation has been in strikingly abnormal times since at least March, when the nation began shutting down and/or slowing down because of the COVID-19 pandemic, changing life drastically for almost every American. (Perhaps only those with serious illness and/or disability who have been homebound anyway, and those with immense wealth who never go out in public anyway, haven’t seen much of a change in their lifestyles due to the pandemic.)

Probably the swing voters especially will punish the incumbent (or the incumbent’s party, if the incumbent cannot have another term) when overall things in the nation are shitty, whether it’s the incumbent’s (or the incumbent’s party’s) fault or not. Life’s not always fair.

(On that note, however, incumbents and/or their parties also get credit that they don’t deserve; they just happen to be in office when the sweet, abundant fruits that were planted in the past by someone else finally come to fruition.)

Even if Pussygrabber had been a pretty good president in every other way — which, of course, he has not been — the COVID-19 pandemic would have dealt a serious blow to his “re”-“election” prospects.

Finally, back to the swing voters, and to my third reason why Pussygrabber no longer will sit in the Oval Office after January 20, 2021: In 2016, Pussygrabber, as an elected official, was an unknown, since he’d never held elected office before.

Very apparently, most of the swing voters were willing to give Pussygrabber the “outsider” a chance; what could go wrong? (Fivethirtyeight.com has noted that about three-fourths of the swing voters voted for Pussygrabber instead of for Billary Clinton.)

These same voters know very well now what could have gone wrong. Pussygrabber no longer has being a political unknown on his side. Love him or hate him, pretty much all of us know Pussygrabber, who for four years has been in our faces 24/7/365, quite well today.

So those are my top three reasons (not in any certain order) as to why Pussygrabber is going to go down in flames into the eternal Dumpster fire of his own making: (1) Biden’s nationwide polling lead right before Election Day is more than twice of what Billary Clinton’s was in 2016; (2) the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with its deaths (almost 230,000 of them as I type this sentence) and its attendant socioeconomic effects — and with no actual end in sight — has seriously set the entire nation back; and (3) Pussygrabber now obviously cannot rely on being a political unknown.

In case you think I’m a Bidenbot, as I’ve noted, I didn’t vote for Biden, and I expect a Biden presidency to be lackluster at best. Like his protege Barack Obama, Biden very much appears to be much more interested in trying to placate the unplacable Repugnican terrorists (redundant) than in even trying to push through anything remotely resembling an actually progressive agenda.

But Hidin’ Joe Biden has benefitted from (to put it mildly) unusual times. No one on the planet finds Biden to be exciting, but we do know what to expect from him: no more of the drama and the chaos that Pussygrabber the perpetual shitshow has inflicted upon us for the past four years.

(Comedian Ramy Youssef correctly said of Pussygrabber: “He’s not a man; he’s a mood. And it’s crazy, because people are like, ‘Oh, we can’t elect a woman. She could get her period.’ But we elected a period.” [We didn’t “elect” Pussygrabber, but the joke still stands.])

Biden also perversely benefits from COVID-19; he is the opponent of the “president” who has been in office during the pandemic. (Had Biden been president when COVID-19 hit, yes, I think that many thousands of deaths probably would have been averted through national leadership that to a greater degree puts public health above private profits, but COVID-19 very probably still would have picked off a certain number of vulnerable Americans no matter who had been at the helm in the Oval Office, I surmise.)

COVID-19 not only has put the United States of America into the toilet, allowing Biden to promise (rather vaguely, for the most part) to do a much better job of combatting it, but even allowing Biden to not have had to run anything like a traditional presidential campaign, which involves a lot of travel and a lot of public speaking, which never has been Biden’s forte. COVID-19 has handed Biden some huge fucking breaks.

(Hell, COVID-19 even allowed Biden to participate in only two instead of the traditionally three presidential debates, and it couldn’t have helped his “re”-“election” campaign that “strongman” Pussygrabber was hospitalized for COVID-19 while Biden has not been.)

I’d say that to a large degree, it has been the luck o’ the Irish that has helped Biden to become president on his third try — something that we progressives will need to remind him and the Bidenbots of when they ignore how much dumb luck played a part in Biden’s winning of the White House — instead of some supposed universal embrace of the tepid centrism and status quo-ism that Biden & Co. espouse.
