The Presidential Oath Of Office vs Trump

There's not a lot of similarity between what he has done, is doing and what he is supposed to do. How does he get by with the continued, baseless, election corruption rhetoric? He's neither supporting the Constitution nor defending it from domestic enemies, as HE is the enemy.

Trump Needs To "Learn What Happened"

I'm taking a passage from the link and may well be misinterpreting it:

"Secretary Clinton has said repeatedly the results of the [2016] election are over but we have to learn what happened"

The "learn what happened" may have referenced the Russia interference thing but my point is the fact she accepted winning the popular vote, yet losing the election. Trump, in contrast, lost the 2016 and 2020 elections popular vote and can't figure out what happened.

I'm quite sure he knows what happened and has privately accepted it...he simply doesn't like it and continues to undermine the election integrity.

Just Doesn't Feel Right

The link is a Nov 22 Fox interview with Lara Trump...she said essentially the same thing this morning. 74 million people just don't feel like the outcome is plausible... They can't seem to accept that some 80 million people tolerated the past 4 years convinced the Donald J Trump presidency wasn't just right...

Well, The Fat Lady Is About To Sing...

I got to admit I had concerns. I never imagined there could be so many potential ways to overturn an election.

History will no doubt chronicle the past 4 years as a dark, if not the darkest, period in the life span of this great country. We elected a self-serving man to the Presidency who had no respect for the people or the Constitution and damn near destroyed what had taken two and a half centuries to build.

My parting words to Donald J Trump...good f'n riddance.

Bitching About The Process

Lawyers say, "pound the law when it's own your side, pound the facts when they're on your side and when you have neither, pound the table."

When the GOP has nothing to pound, they attack the process. During the impeachment inquiry/trial, all the GOP did was attack the process...they never offered evidence to counter the abuse of power charge. Anytime you hear one of the more vocal members, it's always an attack on the process.

The link is old news relative to the GA recount. Doug Collins whining about signature verification, not enough access by "their designated monitors", certifying before the recount was completed and paper ballot security. I'm just guessing GA has had some type of absentee/mail in ballot for years? And it worked just fine till the Blue Wave flooded the state? The Trump Party disciples are just a bunch of nauseating, sore losers...

What Do They Want?

I'm an old man but just an infant in the arena of politics...and I won't get into that but in listening to or reading, some of the far, FAR radical right, conservative (?) rhetoric, like Levin or Beck, I honestly don't understand just what it is, they want in government.

I just accidentally tuned to a radio station last night that had Glenn Beck ranting on "preparation for what's to come" and I assume he was referring to a Biden administration. But he was saying we have to understand the Constitution and Bill of Rights, stand up for our "freedoms" etc. He even referred to voting out Trump as "running the Lone Ranger out of town", as if Trump had been protecting all our Constitutional rights...which is a bewildering premise to say the least.

I'm familiar with the Conservatives trying to brand Democrats as "socialists" but I think they misrepresent empathy and compassion as "socialism".

So, can someone tell me what a Glenn Beck or Mark R Levin government would look like?

Poll Watchers

Some of Trump's lawsuits claimed election fraud because there were no poll watchers...and I'm sure "poll watcher" in that case referred to "Trump watcher". But, does anyone know of any states/counties/polling places that don't normally have bono fide election poll watchers or didn't have poll watchers?

I would think, state election officials would have anticipated an extraordinary level of scrutiny with the Nov 3 election and would have taken extraordinary measures to minimize any doubt of election "irregularities".
