Trump's Final Hissy Fit Is Petty, Illegal and Stupid

Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States. We’re done. It’s all over but the weeping and rending of MAGA garments.

The Trump regime is in full and robust collapse. It’s not just his loss at the polls. He’s lost the magic. The mojo is shot. Gone is the impervious Trump of legend. Now, he’s a surly, frustrated man facing humiliation, prosecution, and ignominy—one who will forever bear the mantle of “loser.”

Like every failing authoritarian regime, Trump’s followed the Hemingway Rule: The collapse came slowly, then all at once. He and his gang were impervious to accountability, sanction, or justice until they weren’t. Now, desperation is delicious and spreading nearly as fast as the virus is among his inner circle. The dying twitches of the apparat built to support the whinging sociopath who stains the Oval Office, for now, have become more and more apparent. The unenviable job of telling the Maximum Leader that the game is over has fallen to his hapless son-in-law, who hardly cuts the figure of wartime consigliere. He’s more of a wartime hand model.

What frightens the Trump White House most is that Biden is moving competently, steadily, and sanely to appropriately assemble a transition, starting with a crack team of scientists, epidemiologists, public health experts, and others who will provide an unaccustomed professional approach to COVID. Americans admire Anthony Fauci, but he’s quite clearly been sidelined by Trump’s pet charlatan, Scott Atlas, who is willing to kill a few million Americans to prove his garbage herd immunity theory.

So Trump will posture, shit-tweet, rage, and promise fell and terrible legal and political consequences to all who oppose him. He’ll declare victory even as he sinks beneath a wave of ballots in a dozen states. I will tell you once again: It won’t work. The transition will occur and Trump’s lackeys, ball-washers, and assorted minions will get shit-canned along with Trump himself.

as long as the braindead cult keeps giving him their money, he will continue. For trump it's always about making money, and all these "protest's" feeds his ego, and every narcissist has to always be the center of attention.

I have no doubt he has a dementia related condition causing him to go into cognitive decline. With every passing day he will become more and more dangerous, if someone doesn't step in and take what ever steps are necessary to calm him down.

There were 70,000,000 in that aparat who are still out there making a fuss and working themselves into a foaming-at-the-mouth frenzy. Certainly nothing to sneeze at, let alone dismiss.

I'm glad I swallowed my coffee before I got to that phrase. The whole thing was well-written - at least it was writing I really enjoyed - but that brought the lulz.

Your garden-variety wildly insecure narcissistic sociopath would be Hitler, with NO redeeming qualities. Other than that, just a completely incompetent mercurial buffoon.
