(81,194 posts)I will NOT accept OR stand by/with/for this so-called "President."
I'll be referring to him, for the next four years (or less, if he's impeached and REMOVED) as The Donald, or donald trump, or simply trump. I will not be calling him "President." For me, he's not President Anything. He lost the popular vote - by a MASSIVE amount. Not just a few thousand votes. Not even for the oft-cited 80,000 votes. It's pushing THREE MILLION. That's not small potatoes. THAT is a landslide. THERE'S the landslide. Right there.
He is NOT president. And ironically, this same guy who tried to smear the DULY-ELECTED and HONESTLY-ELECTED and LEGITIMATELY-ELECTED President, Barack Obama, and render him illegitimate - is now actually WEARING that Constitutional apostasy that applies DIRECTLY and PERSONALLY, all over his face like egg-splatter. WITH egg-splatter, to boot! No. I take that back. The boot's in his MOUTH.
We have a Russian puppet - wrap your mind around that: a RUSSIAN PUPPET - elected by a MINORITY of voters, about to get the keys to the Oval Office. The leader of one of two superpowers long identified as our ADVERSARY, VLADIMIR PUTIN, chose our next Commander-in-Chief for us. Just stop and think about that one. What do you suppose that's gonna do? How do you think that one's gonna end?
And aside from that, we have a fucking PIRATE headed into the White House. He's already established a CLEAR track-record of proof that he went for this job because of the money he could make from it. It was/is the ultimate brand. You're LITERALLY golden, with that. You're at a whole other level, with that. You have NO peers anywhere and only 44 other equals on earth and in earthly history. The opportunism, greed, wheeling-'n'-dealing, and FLAGRANT and MASSIVE in-yer-face conflict-of-interest.
This is a two-pronged attack, forcryingoutloud. From outside, and long - Putin/Russia - and from inside, by (supposedly) one of our own - the greediest, most narcissistic, most think-skinned, sociopathic, petty, juvenile, vengeful pissant I think the modern world has seen in decades. On the biggest stage in the world.
And it's stunning to see the denial out there. The absolute pig-headed refusal to see. To be outraged, at least. But, shit, even just TO SEE! Nobody wants to admit they were wrong. And nobody ADAMANTLY wants to admit they've been had. NOBODY. That's a really hard one to swallow. When you think you were right and you wanted so badly to be right. That's a hard one to face, much less accept. They won't accept responsibility for anything. From human causes of climate change onward, straight on to this now.
Deny it as they will, that doesn't change the truth, or the facts. Whether we like it or not, we have a Russian puppet poised to take over the White House next month. Elected by a minority of voters. Hand-picked by the sneaky and devious head of our sneakiest and most devious international superpower adversary. In other words, if you really wanna be brutally frank, elected by a minority of ONE.
God, or at least the Electoral College, help us!
