December 11, 2020: Lame Duck Don Should Start Packing for His Trip to Loserville

 12/11/20: I was right from the start because I am not delusional and did not believe idiocy would prevail.  

Sadly, none of my right-wing pals took me up on my offer of a bet. (See: 12/10/20.) 

It took more than 18 words this time, but the U.S. Supreme Court shot down Team Trump once more. The State of Texas’s challenge to the election results in several other states went down in legal flames. The justices ruled: 

Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.

 

Statement of Justice Alito, with whom Justice Thomas joins: In my view, we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction. See Arizona v. California, 589 U. S. ___ (Feb. 24, 2020) (Thomas, J., dissenting). I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.

 

In other words, Justices Alito and Thomas would have agreed to hear the challenge – and then would have shot it down.  

Lame Duck Donald should get busy packing up his White House junk and preparing to move from Trumpistan to Loserville. 

Days remaining in office:

 

39.

Trump might not have the court, but he still has Diamond and Silk.

IN OTHER NEWS most Trump supporters will miss, the U.N. releases its latest climate change report. 

The planet is still headed for a rise of 3.2° over the course of this century, enough to radically alter the world we live in. 

But! Trump supporters can always turn to those experts in everything, Diamond and Silk, for the kind of news and views they love.

 

Even after the Supreme Court slams the door on a second term for their Orange God, those two brainless buffoons have a plan to keep Donald in the White House. The Newsmax hosts, who describe themselves as the soon-to-be-ex-president’s “Most Loyal Supporters,” start tweeting calls for the U.S. military to intervene and stop the inauguration of Joe Biden. Democrats, they hint darkly are attempting to “overthrow the Government by exploiting a Pandemic.” 

For good measure, they add, “If the Supreme Court can’t save our Republic, then where is the Military?” In fact, they insist, “There needs to be a Forensic Audit done by our Military in all the Swing states in question. The ballot boxes need to be open, and the Dominion machines need to be examined for irregularities. All Illegal Ballots and Illegal tabulation counts should be removed!” 

It’s the Tiananmen Square Plan for democracy in America. When I check the requisite tweet, I find the buffoons have garnered 7,141 “likes” and 1,203 clueless fans have retweeted their idiot post.

 

Someone who goes by “Ronald” comments, with cluelessness equal to theirs: “yes , declare martial law NOW & do so, also needs to push for indictment on biden b4 it is too late , enuf corruption to make him ineligible once indicted” 

Diamond, and Silk, and Ronald, and even Donald might want to consider a few more examples of what happens when the military takes control of elections – which often cease entirely, thereafter. For example: Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Chile in the 1970s, Argentina in the 1980s, with its death squads, Egypt in 2016, and the military of Myanmar.
