To: The Lame-a** Hot Air Machine Dude, have you no pride? Any? Even a tiny bit? Seriously, what the hell are you doing calling Kemp again, trying to get him to throw you Georgia? It’s done. Move on. Stop it. You look like a fool even if you’re still able to milk your peeps for … Continue reading 0202 PMURT says it all
Electoral College
A Thanksgiving acrostic
To: The One Who Is Finally Inching Closer To Accepting His Reality For some reason our wifi isn’t cooperating so I can’t open the WP article about how you’ve finally (finally) said that if the Electoral College vote goes for Biden (what planet are you on that there’s an if here?), you’ll deign to leave … Continue reading A Thanksgiving acrostic
We’ve got to count all of the elephants in the room
To: The Shyster Have you seen Ed Norton’s Twitter thread laying out his ideas about the real reason you’re pulling all this bogus voter fraud and “oh, help me, they stole the election from me” bullshit? It’s old news now (2 days old, that is) but if you haven’t seen it, you might want to … Continue reading We’ve got to count all of the elephants in the room
To coup or not to coup, is that the question?
One-term Trump, To coup or not to coup, is that the question? Or is the real question ‘to play at coup but not to coup’? Or what? What are you doing? Where are you going with all this? Do you even know or are you just reading the cue cards that someone’s putting in front … Continue reading To coup or not to coup, is that the question?
Even more (positive) signs
President* Trump, Here we are, still in limbo-land. I must say, though, that it’s an easier place to hang out now that some of the red-hatched states have officially switched to blue-hatched states (GA and PA), indicating that the political winds are blowing in Biden’s direction and that you and your administration are soon to … Continue reading Even more (positive) signs
Where the hell do we go from here?
President* Trump, Last night we decided that the word of the day was “pissy.” Laura, our friend, and I cycled through various analogous words (e.g., irritable, frustrated, grumpy, cranky, grouchy) but when one or the other of us landed on “pissy” we all exclaimed that this was the best descriptor of them all and oddly, … Continue reading Where the hell do we go from here?
Remembering to breathe
President* Trump, I know that whichever way the election goes over the next days (weeks?), you’ll still technically be president until some time on Wednesday January 20, 2021 (I just checked, the inauguration ceremony time hasn’t been set yet), which is 77 long days from now. Assuming for now, from this temporal perch early on … Continue reading Remembering to breathe
The imperative of acing Electoral College 101
President* Trump, I know this is something of a theme by now, but I need to credit you with pushing me to learn all sorts of things that never would’ve occurred to me to learn pre-you. To be sure, I was probably exposed to much of it in a long-ago high school civics class, but … Continue reading The imperative of acing Electoral College 101
2016 blue and red voter turn out
President* Trump, I ended up nerding out some more on the voter turn out numbers, but only for the 2016 election so it could have been worse. I told you the other day that I might see what I could see about turn out in blue states and red states relative to swing states, but … Continue reading 2016 blue and red voter turn out
The Electoral College as a form of voter suppression
President* Trump, This morning on my walk it occurred to me that among its many problems, the Electoral College functions to suppress the vote. I don’t know why we don’t talk about it this way (or if people do talk about it this way, why I’ve missed it all these years) since it’s really not … Continue reading The Electoral College as a form of voter suppression
