Apologies to Joni Mitchell

 

Big Orange Man

 

They booked the Four Seasons
But just got a parking lot
A garden centre
Dead bodies
And a swinging sex shop

 

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you sought
Is all wrong
They booked the Four Seasons
But just got a parking lot

 

They took all the kids
Put em in a kiddie jail
Took away their parents
Said they couldn’t make their bail

 

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you sought
Is all wrong
They booked the Four Seasons
But just got a parking lot

 

Hey Guiliani
Hands inside your pants
Stop with the rants 
I’m begging you on my knees
Please

 

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you sought
Is all wrong
They booked the Four Seasons
But just got a parking lot

 

Late last night 
I heard a car door slam
And a big prison van
Took away that big orange man

 

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you sought
Is all wrong
They paved Mar-A-Lago
And now it’s a parking lot

 

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you sought
Is all wrong
They painted the house
And cleaned up all of the rot

 

They painted the house
And cleaned up all of the rot

I just love these fanatical christian republicans. They said Trump was god's choice to be president and he was gonna be re-elected. Now that he hasn't got a second term, it was because the democrats cheated and rigged the election. So that means god almighty wasn't powerful enough to stop the cheating and rigging.

 

 

I think you are a bit off the mark. I don't think these are the only people who voted for Trump. Trump appeared to the voters that he stood for many things.

 

Now I'm not saying Trump did stand for those, but he pictured himself as these

 

- those who hate China

 

- white supremacists

 

- those who like guns

 

- those who are anti immigration

 

- those who are anti socialist (yes i know americans don't know what socialism is but if you watched Trump rallies that's on the top of his list)

 

- anti vaxxers

 

- anti BLM

 

- anti anti climate change 

 

- anti elitists/"the establishment"

 

- plus Q-Anon readers

 

It's very unfair to say that fanatic christians were the only people voted for him.

 

Apparently a large chunk of latinos voted for him and almost all rural Americans voted for him according to exit polls. I'd like to say that you have no idea about those who you don't see on social media are a much bigger proportion that praying tv evangelists.

CNN: Trump campaign planning messaging blitz to fuel election questions

President Donald Trump's campaign is planning a messaging blitz to fuel its argument -- unsupported by any evidence to date -- that the President's second term is being stolen from him through corrupt vote counts in battleground states, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN...

"A little-known Trump appointee is in charge of handing transition resources to Biden — and she isn’t budging"

 

 

A Trump administration appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team to formally begin its work this week, in another sign the incumbent president has not acknowledged Biden’s victory and could disrupt the transfer of power.

 

The administrator of the General Services Administration, the low-profile agency in charge of federal buildings, has a little-known role when a new president is elected: to sign paperwork officially turning over millions of dollars, as well as give access to government officials, office space in agencies and equipment authorized for the taxpayer-funded transition teams of the winner.

 

It amounts to a formal declaration by the federal government, outside of the media, of the winner of the presidential race.

 

But by Sunday evening, almost 36 hours after media outlets projected Biden as the winner, GSA Administrator Emily Murphy had written no such letter. And the Trump administration, in keeping with the president’s failure to concede the election, has no immediate plans to sign one. This could lead to the first transition delay in modern history, except in 2000, when the Supreme Court decided a recount dispute between Al Gore and George W. Bush in December.

 

“No agency head is going to get out in front of the president on transition issues right now,” said one senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The official predicted that agency heads will be told not to talk to the Biden team.

I think the author meant the first one that was not instigated by an external influence but initiated by the administration itself.

Agreed.

 

68 Million people voted for Trump. I think he will lose the election (thankfully), but I have no issue with him waiting to see if his legal avenues and recounts pan out. They won't, but I think he is due to the same process the Democrats would want in the reverse situation. Regardess of the process, even if that takes a little time (most of the legal issues will be squashed pretty quickly as the first few were), no change will be occuring for 71 days. It won't change what Biden does. He will prepare himself and his team to take over on Jan 20, 2021.

 

It's a little like that phrase, I despise what you are saying, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it. I dislike his choice to not concede, to start a bunch of legal fights, but it's *legal* and he should be allowed to try.

 

 

Aside from the nonsense Trump tapped into something that is causing western democracies a huge amount of trouble. It has become very difficult for a poorly educated person to make a decent living and live a prosperous life. The white working poor almost universally voted for Trump. In the past many of these people had good manufacturing jobs and the ability to have decent healthcare, a reasonable house and send their kids to college. Couple it with alienation from cultural and demographic changes and it's a fertile ground for populism.

 

This is a real societal issue and until it's addressed Trumpism will continue as a political strategy. Just dismissing it with Trumps loss ignores the underlying issue.

Yet another day of Trump not being a man about things, playing the wah wah pity me card, totally unsurprised.

 

Also, I'll just leave this here.

 

 

Not so nice when it's turned back on you, is it? Hypocrite.

I remember reading Desmond Morris' Naked Ape back in the 60s. His ability to explain zoological concepts in an accessible and humourous way made him famous. One thing that struck me was his description of displacement behaviour. This is when animals under stress revert to a familiar action as a way of comforting themselves. An example is when two bucks are fighting for dominance. In the midst of their battle, they will suddenly stop and start grazing, ignoring each other. Another good illustration that has stuck with me is a scene from the nuclear war film The Day After. As the missiles are on the way and a farmer is trying to hustle his family into the fallout shelter, his wife starts making the beds. 

 

My point? Maybe this is why Trump keeps playing golf. Classic displacement behaviour.

I like the displacement behavior , there is also.

 

Trump cheating at Golf ,( which no-one pulls him up on ), probably reminds him anything is 'still' possible.
Just say its so, and it is, really it landed right on the green an easy putt, yours is in the bunker over there.
Its like being God, the chosen one.
( Well if God cared to cheat at golf, or anything mortal crazies do )

 

Plus the cash funneling into his coffers as everyone from supporters, whitehouse staff to his security detail pay to be on the property with him.
Lots of golf days between now and 20th Jan, time to put hotel and course fees up. 

 

Edit- Typo

Would the TV networks actually be allowed to show him being dragged kicking and screaming from the front door of the White House? Or will he just quietly slip out the back exit?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this happen to Trump:

 

 

 

 

Of course with Trump they'd either need a lot more people, or bring in a forklift.
