The Naughty Boy Doesn't Want To Play

I never thought that I would be reminded of my very young days when I was playing outside with the boys from our neighbourhood. There was always one or the other who didn't like to lose the game we had set up and he made a face and went home pouting, instead of rather staying with his friends. 

But I'd be darned if that isn't exactly what we are seeing from the US-President these days. Trump can't stand to lose the election, and after unsuccessfully trying to throw a wrench into the game, he is now pouting in the White House, ignoring his presidential duties and the terrible spread of the Coronavirus. He was so distraught that when he showed up in the rain at Arlington cemetery to honour the fallen war heroes, he saluted under the National Anthem instead of putting his hand on his heart. Besides, he  also showed up 30 minutes late letting military officials wait in the rain. Since then, nobody has seen him nor heard him speak. But twittler is still active on his tweeting account, continuing to spread his unbelievable falsehoods and outright lies. And the deplorables still believe him. A neighbour just told me about a conversation  she'd had with a female Trump voter. She had asked why she hadn't voted for Biden/Harris. The answer will blow you away: "Because I've heard that Biden is a pedophile". I mean this would leave me speechless. Without a shred of evidence these trumpites believe any rumour they come across in right-wing media, but blissfully ignore the truth they could have found in world renown news outlets. So if they can believe Biden is a pedophile, they certainly have no problem believing the election fraud lies coming from the mouth-hole of Trump himself, again entirely ignoring the lack of any evidence, even if Trump's own Department of Homeland Security confirms that the 2020 presidential election was the securest in the history of the U.S. which even some GOP officials have confirmed.

So how is Trump gonna leave office?

Here is what an opinion article said about it:

In order to avoid federal prosecution, Trump has only one viable option. Trump would have to resign even before his term is officially over. The purpose of it being that Pence could pardon the president, as he can't pardon himself.

An interesting thought, but is it possible? Can Trump be pardoned even before federal charges will be levied against him?

The next month will show us what will happen. 

Meanwhile, we have some time to prepare for Christmas.

Denial

 It is a human characteristic to be in denial over a shocking event. Some people have to go through a period of denial when their partner suddenly dies, or they have been diagnosed with a deadly disease. But denial is usually limited to a certain time period, until the unavoidable reality sinks in.

But narcissists can be different. They have problems being confronted with reality and will stay in denial for good.

Trump is such a person. Trump cannot lose. Trump is a narcissist. If he loses he's gonna "die". At least that is how he feels, and that is the reason why he won't accept his election loss. For his part, I am not surprised.

What is more astonishing is that the GOP still hasn't realized that they are passengers on a sinking ship. Trump is gonna be entirely useless for them and if they wouldn't have nominated this moron, they could have won the election fair and square. Well, denial can be a bad thing, as it leads to disastrous decisions. The future will show them where they went wrong. 

Almost Done!

 CONGRATULATIONS!

Even though the formal announcement has not been made yet, we all know who is gonna be the 46th President of the United States. 

CANADA celebrates with you and Canadians have been glued to the screens of computers and TVs since Tuesday evening. We have lost sleep on your behalf and we are overjoyed that you have managed to take your country back from the brink of destruction. No doubt, your vote for Biden/Harris has saved your democracy. And the world is letting out a breath of relief. 

What you pulled off, has saved you from seeing your health care being wiped out by a gang of criminals in the White House, and their daily lies will not be part of your lives any more. Instead of further division you will see unity return, even it may take some time.  Humanity will prevail. The Nation can now retake its seat in the international community and rejoin international treaties.  Respect for the United States can now be rebuilt. Your friends in Canada will be eager to re-visit your country. 

Beginning with the formal announcement, your flag will fly for 3 days and 3 nights from our front porch. It was put away in a dark place 4 years ago. It will be out in the open again soon.

All the best...your neighbours in CANADA!

Update: It's only been a few hours when the announcement about Biden's win came on the news. I went to the flag closet and took out the American flag. It is now hanging off of our porch. Americans should now use the time to rebuild neighbourhood relationships. Also, if you have family members who didn't talk to you since Trump split you apart, call them, invite them and heal together. Time will help you to overcome the division which has kept you apart. Work with your local and state government for the common good and build bridges together.

Remember, life is too short to fight all the time. Be kind and enjoy and you'll be happy!

Maybe Texas Should Be Kicked Out Of The Union

 

During the heydays of the Wild West, bandits came riding on their horses to stop and rob the stage coach, and more often then not they got away with their booty. But when not, the next gallows weren't too far away.

In Texas, those days are still very much alive. Difference is the way they stop their prey. Instead of horses they came with scores of Trump-decorated trucks. In a dangerous highway maneuver those would-be cowboys stopped a Biden-Harris campaign bus on the I-35 between San Antonio and Austin the other day, the campaign crew whipped out their cell phone and called 911. Local law enforcement had to get out and accompany the bus to its destination.

If Texans think this was an appropriate  action they do not deserve to be part of the Nation and should be kicked out the sooner the better. Alternatively, they can re-commission the hanging-tree outside of the courthouse and start removing those highway idiots from the face of the earth.

The story tells us that American democracy is under attack. Trump has riled up the dumb and uneducated masses of the country to play cowboy on the highway. America is rotting away from within, a destiny which it shares with the Roman and Greek Empires, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Soviet Union. 

Congratulations! The world leadership will now be shared between the Chinese and the Russians. That's what you wanted, right?
