TRUMP AGAIN USES MASSIVE “VOTER FRAUD” FOR HIS ELECTION LOSS

 

                                …Trump has resorted to acting like a “Mob Boss”

 

Unfortunately for Trump, his federal cases have all been dismissed

 

Now that we know that the current president’s day are numbered, we also know that he will work to burn the people’s house down before he leaves the residence.

Since we don’t know how much damage he will be responsible for, before he leaves, I believe it is time to relate to the damage he has already done, going back to the basics of what wrong-doing he has done to date.

Here are just the basics that we need to digest before the new residents of the White House are allowed to take possession.

You may remember that back in 2016, Trump claimed the only reason he didn't win the popular vote count was because there had been, you guessed it, massive voting fraud.  He then set up a special investigative committee, using right wing conspiracy theorists to supposedly substantiate his claim.

At the head of the group was a right wing operative who made his living by wrongfully purging legitimate voters from state registration databases.  But as hard as the group tried, it couldn't produce any evidence of anyone doing anything wrong.  After many months of spending taxpayers money, they had to disband the committee as their efforts of their inquisition finally just dribbled away.

So, is there any surprise that now in 2020, having lost both the popular vote and the projected electoral college count, Trump is again making fraudulent accusations of voter fraud?  And it's pretty obvious as to why he is doing it.  Never before have any of his lies been too big for his fervent true believers to swallow, so why not shoot for more voter fraud?

Perhaps Trump also thinks that his now, stacked Supreme Court will now ride to his rescue. 

At first he was talking about a direct jump to the Supreme Court where he would hope to ask them to summarily declare him the winner.  But the problem is that all of the federal cases his lawyers have filed so far, have been so frivolous and inconsequential that they have been immediately dismissed.

Now, we know that Trump has a his history of not only making fraudulent claims of election fraud, but of trying to beat people into the ground with endless offensive litigation.  Many in his past suits have ultimately surrendered in the face of his legal blitzkriegs, and this was achieved through sheer attrition.  Obviously that's not going to happen here, but surely that's also part of what's going on.  Let’s face it, this is what Donald Trump has always done.

It's also another example of one more financial fraud that he’s perpetrating on his supporters.  His team is aggressively soliciting contributions supposedly to pay for these legal challenges of voter fraud.  But if you read the fine print, it says over ½ of any donations can go to pay for previous campaign and various other debts.  We suspect that this buried fine-print caveat was necessary, because Trump is already guilty of enough campaign finance crimes, (like paying off porn stars) and misappropriating money intended for the inauguration, for which he has yet to be charged.

However, that could all change, after he leaves office as the US president.

But more than anything else, Trump is just trying to perpetuate his myth that he is some kind of political superman, who is never wrong and can never be beaten, except by some massive conspiracy.  We are being led to believe that the nation’s graveyards have suddenly opened up all over Pennsylvania, and multiple other states, and the dead have arisen en masse to cast votes against him.  This is even as other Republicans won their own races on the same ballots.

Yes, that's the actual argument.  And while most Republican politicians are at least starting to back away from Trump's most ludicrous claims, three in particular, Senators Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham and House Minority Leader McCarthy, they are still fully on board the ludicrous Trump train.

These three, like Trump himself, are nothing but grandstanding, lying demagogues.  And what’s amazing is that, like Trump himself, they are just hoping to use the injured resentments as they are stoking the most radical factions of Trump’s Republican base.  And they are doing it with a goal that is targeting the candidacy of the 2024 presidential race.  Their problem is that it is now proven that a Democrat can beat Donald Trump.  Whether any of these remaining three amigos can remain as serious future opposition is a very open question.

The truth is, that no dead people voted in this election.  A lot of dead people did not get a chance to vote because they were killed by the same coronavirus that Trump has exacerbated in America, just because of his hands-off negligence.

It may also be sad but true, that there were some people who cast their votes by mail, and who may have since died from Trump's pandemic.  So yes, there may in fact be some voters who are dead now, but they weren't when they voted legally.

Nevertheless, clearly a large number of people who were at least brain-dead when they participated in this election.

70 million votes for Donald Trump is ample evidence of that fact.

It is a very daunting task that the president elect and his capable vice president elect have to take on for the nation to get back to normal.  Today, the first task is to get the country safely past this deadly virus.  Due to Trump’s lack of taking the virus seriously, it is now estimated that if all goes basically as hoped, that will still take us through most, if not all of 2021.

The new administration will need to attack the issues of the nation as did FDR, and this time it will be in dealing with those 70 million people that had voted for a narcissistic, pathological liar, that is only interested in himself.  

The damage that has been done of dividing this nation will take years to bring it back together, if that can really be done.  The damage that the mis-information that has been spread by this president, his administration and the additional factions such as Fox News and the various social media outlets, that may make it impossible to bring our democratic nation back to working together.

But if any nation can achieve that revelation, perhaps we now have the basic foundation for taking control and making the necessary changes to get the train back on the track.

However, based on what needs to occur, I’m afraid that it will take much more than a four year term for righting the direction of the American ship-of-state.

Hopefully, the new team will get the basics completed so that those that what follows, will be able to complete such a daunting task..

So, hold on, it’s probably going to get worse, before it gets better.
