NanceGreggs's JournalAny Minute Now ...
... we are going to be hearing Evangelicals, and other assorted and sundry Christians, loudly denouncing Donnie-T Junior for his remarks encouraging his daddy's supporters to ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ because they "haven't gotten them anywhere".
I am sure that the passing of collection plates will be suspended in churches across the nation this week, as pastors replace the usual money haul with fiery sermons about how telling Christians to dismiss Christ as a failed saviour is a step too far that must be retaliated against in no uncertain terms.
Mega-churches will be filled with hordes of angry parishioners, televangelists will broadcast their fury, "Christian leaders" will flood mainstream media shows in order to denounce the political party that is using the words of the Prince of Peace to ridicule him as a know-nothing peacenik, who should have gone into his step-dad's carpentry business and kept his mouth shut about politics.
Yes, the voices of Christians denouncing Donnie-T Junior will be loud - just as loud as they were when they denounced Daddy-Donald for NOT caring for the sick, NOT sheltering the homeless, NOT feeding the hungry, and NOT treating our fellow citizens as the brothers we were meant to hold in our keeping.
One would have thought creating a golden image of Trump to worship (and take selfies with) would be the last straw for Bible-thumpers - but apparently there is no last straw.
Any minute now, we will hear so-called Christian leaders telling their flocks that Jesus was actually a Judas Goat, whose only real purpose was to lead faithful sheep to the slaughterhouse.
(Edited to add: 
I thought it was obvious - apparently it wasn't)
Thanks for the info, Republicans
.We Democrats are truly appreciative of the information contained in your recently-revealed texts with respect to how a vice president has the authority to simply throw out the electoral votes of states that vote against his/her preferred candidate.
No doubt our current VP, Kamala Harris, was overjoyed to hear this news!
Should things not go well for the Dems in the 2024 election, it's good to know that many of you are on-board with VP Harris simply tossing those pesky anti-Biden votes in the trash, and only counting the votes that were cast for him.
It's like hey, who knew this was possible - and that so many of you would go to the trouble of explaining how the illegality of such an action was actually legal!
Many thanks to those GOPers who have acknowledged the power (albeit unConstitutional) of a sitting vice president to overturn the will of the people a matter of his/her discretion.
We now have the evidence that you urged the late-and-not-great Trump administration to adopt this "interpretation" of prevailing law - so exactly what will your legal arguments be should a Democratic VPOTUS decide that you were right all along - and act accordingly?
Cat got your tongue? Or is your tongue so far up Trump's ass you have lost all ability to speak?
It's Not Too Late, Donald
While ex-presidents like Carter, Clinton, and Obama have secured their post-presidential legacies, Donald Trump's only legacy thus far is continuing to spew his grievances about losing the last election.
But it's not too late for The Former Guy to to do something positive - and I have a few suggestions for him:
Establish a nation-wide corp of volunteers who will rake the floors of our forests in order to prevent wildfires.
Start a foundation that will raise public awareness about bone spurs, a heart-breaking condition that prevents would-be heroes from serving in the military.
Visit schools around the country to demonstrate how you would rush into an active-shooter situation, unarmed, and save the day.
Fund scientific research into how to nuke hurricanes before they can get tremendously big and tremendously wet, and cause damage in Sharpie-designated states.
Raise money to erect a monument to the Revolutionary soldiers who stopped the British in 1775 by shutting down the airports.
Strengthen international ties by reaching out to the countries of Button, Nipple, and Nambia.
Fund research into creating silent windmills, so their noise will stop causing cancer.
Produce sex-ed videos for incels that explain how grabbing a woman by the pussy can be the icebreaker that leads to a fulfilling relationship.
Embark on a college lecture tour that teaches future political hopefuls the importance of keeping their grades hidden from prying eyes.
Initiate a program that encourages high school science and math teachers to not waste their time teaching useless subjects - like science and math.
Establish a Coalition of Accountants that will educate taxpayers on how to under-estimate/over-estimate their assets, depending on who's asking.
Go door-to-door in Mexico to collect money to finally pay for The Wall.
And finally, launch a world-wide investigation into why people around the globe have been brainwashed into believing you're an ignorant, self-serving grifter who tried to overthrow the government of your own country.
It's not too late, Donald - you can still save your ex-presidential legacy by moving your lard-ass out of Mar-a-Lago and doing any of the above.
Roll the Tape
When Republicans are caught lying, stealing, taking away people's rights, encouraging violence, and blatantly demonstrating their own treason to their country, they always fall back on the same old meme: Both sides do it.
If that's the case, they can easily prove it by doing the following:
Show me the footage of pro-maskers threatening unmasked schoolchildren on their way to school.
Show me the footage of pro-vaxers surrounding anti-vaxers while screaming "we know where you live!" as they attempt to leave school board meetings.
Show me the footage of elected Democrats inciting their constituents to violence.
Show me the footage of Democrats marching with tiki torches yelling "Jews will not replace us!"
Show me the footage of Democrats deliberately driving their cars into crowds of Republican protestors.
Show me the footage of the so-called liberal media editing a Trump speech to make it appear he said something he didn't say.
Show me the footage of a liberal declaring that Republicans torture and kill babies, and then eat them.
Show me the footage of a Democratic congressman/congresswoman refusing to mask-up or go through a metal detector before entering the Capitol.
Show me the footage of an in-office Democrat outlining their plans to suppress the vote.
Show me the footage of a Democrat comparing public health mandates to the suffering and death of Holocaust victims.
And while you're at it, show me the footage of Democrats attacking the Capitol, destroying the building, beating cops - and wiping their own shit on the floors and walls while they're at it.
Given that we live in an age where virtually everything is filmed - by TV camera crews, professional videographers, and amateurs armed with a phone - such footage should be easily accessible.
So let's see it, Republicans - roll the tape.
Show Us the Evidence
Back in December 2020, Sidney Powell stated about the 'stolen election': "We have so much evidence coming in, I feel like its coming through a firehose."
So where is that evidence? You apparently didn't produce it in court - why not? Where are you hiding this "firehose of evidence", and why have you never exposed it for public scrutiny?
Paul Gosar recently stated that between 450,000 and 700,000 ballots were altered in the state of Arizona, and claims he got this information from the Security Exchange Fraud Department and the CIA Fraud Department.
Who did you speak to from these non-existent departments? Surely you made note of the names of those who allegedly approached you with this information, given the gravity of their disclosures. Why have you not identified them so that their alleged information can be verified?
No less than TFG himself recently issued a statement saying: “If we don’t solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in ‘22 or ‘24."
If the fraud has been "thoroughly and conclusively documented", why haven't those documents been released to the public? Why are you leaving your Republican enablers dangling in the wind, struggling to support the Big Lie, if you're already in possession of thorough and conclusive documents that will prove, once and for all, what you allege was a stolen election?
These are, of course, rhetorical questions. My purpose in citing them is not to point out that there is - as we all here know - zero evidence of the Big Lie.
It is to point out how incredibly gullible Trump-humpers are. They hear statements like those above - and yet never ask for the proof thereof. They embrace every lie told today, when its only purpose is to cover-up the lies told yesterday.
They never ask for proof of anything, and yet they are more than willing to believe everything - no matter how ludicrous, no matter how far-fetched, no matter how downright ridiculous.
When you embrace the idea that facts no longer matter, you are not a political force - you are a cult.
When you have abandoned common sense, you are not a free-thinking citizen - you are a mindless, easily-manipulated idiot.
When you believe that the truth is negotiable and is somehow dependent on who is speaking it, you are no longer capable of understanding what the truth is.
Aren't you impressed, Trump-humpers!?!
It's now been almost a year since the 2020 election, and despite the best efforts of GOP lawyers, so-called auditors, ranting media bobble-heads and hysterical pillow salesmen, not a single iota of evidence that the election was 'stolen' has been unearthed.
Pulling off a stolen election would require thousands of operatives across the country working at multiple levels in the election process - and yet we managed to do it without leaving a single trace behind for you to find.
Gotta hand it to us. If you still believe the election was stolen, you also have to believe that we're fuckin' geniuses.
Note to Republicans
Let's start with sit down - and shut the fuck up.
Decent people are not interested in anything you have to say. Your opinions are useless, and your honesty is non-existent.
After four years of praising the corrupt con-man you put in the White House, no one wants to hear your inane ramblings about Joe Biden's words or actions. After four years of propping-up a lunatic who thinks, among other things, that wind turbines cause cancer and the Revolutionary War was won when Americans shut down the airports, we don't want to hear your assessment of Joe Biden's mental stability.
When your "pResident" took Putin's side over our own intelligence agencies, you cheered him - which renders your claims of patriotism moot. When your "pResident" talked about grabbing women by their genitals, you continued to promote him as a good Christian - so let's not talk about Biden's religious beliefs. When he appointed his corrupt cronies to positions of power, you insisted he was 'draining the swamp' - so anything you have to say about Biden's appointees is not only hypocritical, but downright laughable.
You stood in silence as your "pResident" called Covid a hoax, and mocked the doctors and scientists who attempted to educate the public about life-saving measures like social distancing and wearing masks. Therefore, anything you have to say about Biden's handling of the pandemic is nothing more than the same bullshit you were spewing as hundreds of thousands of Americans died.
It was your party that encouraged division in this country and lied to the citizenry at every cover-Trump's-ass opportunity - and when Americans turned on their neighbours with vitriol and violence, when a bunch of out-of-control idiots stormed the Capitol, you encouraged it and called the perpetrators 'patriots'.
I realize you aren't the most intelligent people in the country, but maybe you can somehow understand that decent Americans don't want to hear your opinions, your advice, your comments, or your insane ramblings about anything.
Your party now consists of bat-shit crazies who grasp onto every conspiracy theory that comes down the pike. No one of sound mind is willing to listen to people who think wildfires are ignited by Jewish Space Lasers, or that the government is putting tracking devices in vaccines, which are then being distributed via salad dressings.
The only people willing to listen to you are horse-dewormer consumers, Covid deniers on ventilators, and idiots who believe that Trump is going to be reinstated any day now because a guy who sells pillows for a living said so.
Enough - it's over and done. You have no credibility, you have no grasp on reality, you have no way forward - other than the hope that insanity is contagious and will eventually afflict the majority of voters.
So sit down, Republicans, and shut the fuck up. Your assessment of Biden's presidency is of no interest to anyone but yourselves - i.e. that ever-narrowing group of MAGAts that have yet to realize that they've been had.
In the meantime, if you have anything of value to contribute to the political conversation, we'll let you know - but we're not holding our breath awaiting that unlikely event.
