Joe Nation
Joe Nation's JournalWORST Peaceful transition of power EVER!!!!
As transitions go, this one may be the worst peaceful transition of power in our country's history due entirely to the current Clownmander-in-Cheat. The name Trump will go down in US History on par with traitors like Benedict Arnold. School children will learn in their history classes what a miserable self-serving vindictive criminal Donald Trump was. The Trump face will be a popular Halloween mask for little children that want to look frightening while trick-or-treating. The name Trump will become a verb meaning someone who is a vile traitorous insurrectionists pig as in Stop Trumping us! Trump will replace the other vulgar swear words like FUCK YOU! with TRUMP YOU! Or Go TRUMP YOURSELF! I'm looking forward to using these phrases as soon as possible so, I hope that all Republican traitors get Skulled Trumped in their prison cells.
I think that we can finally put the idea that a business man makes a good president to bed
Apparently, running a company, managing a budget, employing workers, and catering to shareholders, doesn't actually teach you how to be a good president or teach you that sedition and insurrection are bad things.
Let's just say that Corporate America isn't exactly a wellspring of individuals interested in service for the public good.
I predict, as the Republican Party's civil war rages, you will see...
...people like Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and multiple Republican House members, quit the Republican Party and join the newly created .... I guess the newly created Seditionist Party. This new political party will draw roughly half of the supporters away from the ranks of the current GOP. Watch and see who the first defectors will be and you will see just who plans to lead this new party. Nothing says that this is a well-thought-out move but it is really the only logical path forward for these extremists.
Vladimir Putin must be smiling ear-to-ear tonight
Everything Putin could have hoped for by interfering with our elections on Trump's behalf in 2016, Trump has delivered in spades. This country is more divided than ever. We have lunatics on the Right believing any propaganda that comes out of the orange orangutan's mouth. And now we have banana republic riots on the floor of the capital.
Yes Putin is very happy tonight. Very happy.
What can honestly be said to people that ignore COVID-19 restrictions?
I have these relatives that are educated, smart professionals and follow the news very closely especially when it comes to the pandemic. They know the risks. They know the dangers. They know their own potential for dying of this virus based on their comorbidities which are Type-1 diabetes, cancer survivor, and several other autoimmune issues. They have all had multiple negative COVID tests in the last year. They have one teenage child. My wife and I are the only relatives capable of raising their child in the event they both die. We are named as the child's guardians in their wills.
Okay, here is the issue... They are on their third vacation since the pandemic began. They've traveled to several states during these vacations, visited other relatives, and spent a lot of time in large metropolitan areas. They go to malls, beaches, water parks, and go out to eat constantly. They believe that they are acting in a safe and responsible manner and that we are too cautious.
My greatest fear, as my wife and I are about to retire, is that we will spend the first decade of our retirement raising their orphaned child. And there is nothing I can say to them that they will hear. It is useless to reason with them and I don't want to threaten them with refusing to be guardians because we are literally the only option they have and it isn't their child's fault that they are behaving this way. Heck, the kid is often used as the excuse for the vacation trips.
What would you say to these relative if they were yours? What can be said that they would even listen to? They already think that they are smarter than everyone else. I just hate the trajectory this could be headed towards.
The argument Republicans have no answer for
Republicans claim that there were millions of fraudulent ballots cast that put Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over the top. My question would be, how did Republicans end up picking up seats in the House and maintaining many vulnerable seats in the Senate in this scheme?
Did this democratic scheme not think to cast fraudulent ballots for the down ticket races as well? It just seems that if the Democrats were smart enough to manipulate the voting process to get Biden and Harris elected, you'd kind of think that they would also be smart enough to manipulate the voting to also get more Democrats elected to the House and Senate at the same time. Huh?
Common sense dictates that there was no fraudulent ballots cast but common sense isn't what we are dealing with here on the Right I suppose. Developing a frontal lobe might help these poor unfortunate misfits.
The GOP has become the WGPP...The White Grievance Pity Party
How the GOP has fallen. They went from a proud fiscal conservative party to a bunch of white nationalists whining and crying about "stolen" elections and rallies of riled up rubes threatening their own party officials for not going along with their insane conspiracies spurred on by the biggest baby man ever to occupy the White House.
The GOP really doesn't deserve any sympathy. They marched down this path with both eyes wide open and knowing full well where they were headed and went there anyway. Screw them and their cadre of rubes and clowns.
I'm done with their pity party and any of their concerns. If they are willing to burn down democracy itself to get what they want, then we should not cut them any slack. They are extremists at best, terrorists at worst. We should not tolerate them in the public square nor tolerate their opinions. I'm just done with them.
The adults are back in charge. Time to dole out some tough love. You can't give in to bullies.
No news updates on Hunter Biden since the election
And I was following the developments so closely and all. Now what am I going to do for my Hunter Biden scandal news? Fox won't mention him. Trump won't mention him. Rudy Giuliani seems occupied elsewhere. It's not fair to get me all excited about the biggest news story of the century and then bupkis. I beginning to think that there is a cover-up going on. Oh, Joe Biden, you wascully wabbit. Well played my friend, well played.
Health Care workers should refuse to show up in red states that bar masks mandates
It's time to take the fight to Republican governors. If they won't do anything to abate the spread of COVID for purely political reasons, then they do not deserve health care workers that put themselves in danger. Doctors, nurses, ambulance drives, and all the health care frontline personnel should travel to places where the governors are actually being responsible until the pandemic ends. Enough is enough. Time to drive home the point that we have the ability to fight this disease but we shouldn't placate the political whims of irresponsible politicians.
In all fairness to Lindsey Graham...
...he can hardly be blamed for contacting Brad Raffensperger the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia to ask him to commit election fraud. The incalculable odds of actually running into an honest Republican in the State of Georgia have to be astronomically small if not all but impossible.
Graham was just playing the odds and somehow found an actual honest Republican in a state where the two current Republican Senators Perdue and Loeffler have called for Raffensperger to resign for basically not disenfranchising enough Democrats for Trump to win the state, while Loeffler and her husband were accused of insider trading related to her early briefings on the COVID-19 pandemic.
So in all fairness to Graham, what are the odds of accidentally running into an honest Republican in Georgia. Maybe someone here from Georgia knows one other than Raffensperger?
