Q NOTES 290

The only conclusion to be drawn from the situation is that it takes a rotten, worthless piece of shit like Louie Gohmert to make an asshole like Veep Mike Puntz look like a statesman.

The ability of Moscow Mitch to exert the force of his will over the Senate (R) caucus will be tested soon. On one hand, I hope he keeps all of them in line since it will streamline the certification process next Wednesday. On the other hand, it might be better in the long run if all of them are forced to vote on the record in favor of overturning the election or not.

Update 7:25 PM: Cheez Doodle was supposed to host a New Year's Eve gala at his club in Florida, with a user fee of 1,000 bucks a head. Instead, the latest bulletin is that Cheezy will head back to Washington prior to the dog-and-pony show in Congress next Wednesday. Those in the know are pretty sure that tickets to the party weren't selling and Cheezy couldn't cope with the notion that he threw a fucking party and nobody came. What a LOSER!

Q NOTES 275: Countdown, Day 37

It took several weeks, but Vladimir Putin finally acknowledged that Joe Biden will be the next president. Soon, Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey also fell in line. Other Senate (R)s are grudgingly admitting that the election is over, prompting media speculation that some congressional (R)s are privately relieved that soon they won't be shouldering the burden of a corrupt, incompetent mental case.

Meanwhile, back at the White House, Cheez Doodle continues to fire off tweets about massive voting fraud and constant complaints that his landslide reelection was somehow stolen by someone.

This lunacy will probably continue at least until January 20th, maybe a few days less or more, but certainly as long as it's a viable fund-raising gimmick. There are few things Cheezy loves more than piles of easy money. I'm also sure he enjoys the sense of power derived from having Proud Boys and similar groups of social misfits creating chaos in the streets, as long as they believe he'll provide legal cover for them. These are tangible benefits which Cheezy can treasure more than mere ego gratification (though he needs that too).

Update 5:05 PM: Speaking of insane bullshit, keep an eye on Amanda Chase, the Cheezy doodle  who's running for governor in Virginia, a state that Biden just won. Cheezy will always be able to rely on the loyalty of America's psychopaths. Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama is another one he can count on all the way.

Q NOTES 274: Countdown, Day 38

Sunday was a crappy day with gloomy skies, cold wind gusts and a few spells of heavy rain. I was trapped in the house by the weather, and there wasn't much news worth writing about. Today, even though it's Monday, is starting out as the opposite of yesterday. The weather is beautiful: chilly, with blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and very little wind. It was excellent weather for an early three-mile walk, and there are good things happening in the news.

In Wisconsin, the conservative state supreme court threw out Cheez Doodle's last-minute appeal, which was heard on Saturday. One of the four right-wingers teamed up with the three liberals to make it a 4-3 majority against Cheezy.

Elsewhere, the Electoral College voting is underway, with Joe & Kamala headed for an official victory. Cheez Doodle and his lunatic loyalists will still be pretending to overturn the (D) victory with a variety of dog-and-pony shows that qualify as public nuisances, but unfortunately aren't illegal. Stephen Miller, the current counterpart of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, has been on TV discussing the alternate electors who will give Cheez Doodle victories in all those swing states Biden won in the real world.

I have a feeling Cheezy will start losing enthusiasm for this game he's playing if the money stops pouring in. As stupid as his dim bulb followers are, they may still be sending donations after the inauguration on 20 January, which will encourage his deluded fantasies. 

Update 4:56 PM: In breaking news, Billy (Booger) Barr has resigned as AG. Did he jump, or was he pushed? It won't matter in 38 days. 

Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (that guy with the pirate eye patch) is the kind of jack-off that can win an election in most districts in Texas. He's been getting attention in right-wing circles since he's presumed to potentially have national appeal. Dan just released a self-promotional video in which he acts out a lot of heroic crap he saw in Sly Stallone and Tom Cruise movies that were made when they were much younger. I stumbled onto it yesterday, and watched as much as I could stomach. I doubt Crenshaw realizes that this much self-glorification makes him the ridiculous asshole of the week.

Q NOTES 267: Countdown, Day 45

Every (R) is obviously terrified by the realization that Cheez Doodle really did lose Georgia, and all the implications of that loss for their future. 

Cheezy is comparing America to a third world country, and I have to agree that since his poorly-attended inauguration (sic) in 2017, we've looked a lot like some third world countries. In other words, he's on the right track for all the wrong reasons. What an asshole. 

Rudy Pootie is allegedly in the hospital after testing positive for COVID, and the Arizona legislature is shut down for a week because so many right-wing members were hanging out with Rudy last week. When we take into account his crooked yellow lower teeth, hair dye streaming down his sweaty face, public farting, and now being contagious, then it's safe to say Rudy really is Cheezy's Vision of American Excellence personified.

Q NOTES, DAY 261: The Big Con

If what I'm reading is correct, we now know that Cheez Doodle has at least 150,000,000 reasons to keep going with this fucking foolish bullshit about trying to overturn the election. The good news? That's 150 million bucks that won't be going to the campaigns of (R) candidates who might have a real chance to win elections. To put it as simply as possible, there are no other people on earth as stupid and hopelessly fucked up as Cheez Doodle's devoted followers.

The research shows there are a lot of people out there whose only interest in politics is linked to the opportunity to vote for Cheez Doodle. Once he's out of the picture, they'll disappear like fucking cockroaches. Obviously we're talking about the lowest of the lowlifes. 

Prepare to add Booger Bill Barr to the official Cheez Doodle shit list. If Cheezy can no longer count on the Booger Man, who can he count on? 

Question of the hour: If Cheezy and his team of assholes really do have mountains of evidence that prove the election was stolen from the hair god, why in the ever-lovin' fuck have they not presented that evidence in any of the lawsuits that have made it to court so far? Do any of the worthless nose-pickers who are sending their money to Cheezy ever ask themselves why the proof is being kept under wraps?

Ridiculous new lawsuits filed in Michigan and Wisconsin, demanding that Cheez Doodle be declared the winner of the election. I guess that fat motherfucker will keep doing shit like this as long as the money keeps pouring in.

Q NOTES, DAY 255: It Never Ends

One of the problems we're facing is the requirement that the new good president can't replace the old bad president for three months. A delay of that duration probably made sense in the 18th century, but it's giving Cheez Doodle too many opportunities to make messes that Joe & Kamala will need to waste time cleaning up.

Daily Kos @ The Hidden Deplorables Theory:  There are huge numbers of worthless dipshits and bottom-feeders who don't get picked up in election polling, aren't even noticeably partisan, and apparently don't bother to vote unless Cheezy himself is one of the ballot choices. These losers are captivated by him since he's obviously trying to pull the rest of America down to their level, and they love his destructive chaos. Worth reading, imo.

The lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania last weekend will be heard by a Republican judge, who has issued a restraining order to cease any pending election certification activity. Refer to paragraph one above. Update 5:27 PM: Since the presidential election has been certified as of yesterday, the restraining order applies to down-ballot elections, or so it seems from the reporting I've read so far.

Q NOTES, DAY 246: Stalling

Maybe his underlings could explain to Cheez Doodle that he still gets to be the so-called precedent (sic) until January 20th even if he concedes, but he has to leave on that day whether he concedes or not. Maybe we're making this stuff too complicated for him.

In a better America, it couldn't possibly have happened, but more people voted for Cheez Doodle in 2020 than in 2016. He still lost the popular vote (by a larger margin), but this time he also lost the EC vote. That means he lost, but we're still supposed to give a rat's ass about what his voters think? Not in my house, we don't.

Maybe Cheezy's afraid to allow the transition to begin because he thinks it would weaken his case in court. In the real world, those lawsuits are going to be dismissed as frivolous wastes of time anyway, dude. Putting Rudy Tootie in charge proves you aren't serious.

Another company, Moderna, is reporting a promising new vaccine for COVID-19. Predictably, Cheez Doodle wants recognition for something that happened in spite of him, not because of him. Remember, this asshole is the guy who told everybody COVID would soon go away on its own. 

The (R) people begin to ponder the age-old question: Is it possible to have trumpism without trump himself? 

What exactly did Cheez Doodle stand for anyway, other than self-aggrandizement, self-enrichment, implementing Putin's agenda for the United States, and making Nazis and white power militias bold enough to proudly march in the streets? 

For four years, the (R) party has been composed of two groups. Group A consists of millions of voters (mostly white people with high school educations) who are devoted to Cheez Doodle as an individual, and Group B consists of right-wing politicians at all levels who are terrified of the voters in Group A. Can the cult members in Group A remain cohesive without their leader dominating the news 24 hours a day, or will they eventually disperse? It goes without saying that COVID-19 will claim many of them, since they're just asking for it.

Q NOTES, DAY 239: Still Counting

Cheez Whiz understands that five minutes after he graciously concedes, he's completely irrelevant as a TV personality.

So, desperately trying to remain the focal point of media attention, Cheezy's making sure a lot of crap which will offend or frighten normal Americans gets reported. First of all, he wants it clearly understood that he'll do anything he can to eliminate the possibility of a relatively smooth transition. He's also made sure everyone knows he'll continue holding campaign rallies indefinitely. I suppose he'll claim these are his "me-first" dive into the race for the 2024 (R) nomination (which he'll use to sucker his zombie followers into donating money to him). 

He still has Rudy Tootie appearing on TV to make ridiculous claims like the one about ten states being stolen by Joe. And he's still claiming credit for things that happened in spite of him, not because of him.

And in the ultimate display of spoiled brat petulance, he'll be firing a bunch of people who would be out of work in 74 days anyway.

Meanwhile, Joe & Kamala are still ahead in both Arizona and Georgia.

Theological question: If God chose Cheezy, as many of his fans believe, does this mean that God changed his mind, or does it mean Joe beat God? 

Q NOTES DAY 234: The Red Mirage and Other Illusions

If you know a transcript exonerates you, you hand over the transcript. If you know a DNA sample proves you're innocent, you provide the sample. If you know your income taxes are legit, you release the returns. And if you know you won an election, you let all the votes be counted.

Gradually beginning to calm down as I read reports suggesting Biden may win this deal after all. I'm reminded that a day or so before the Tuesday election, there were numerous stories about Cheez Whiz's subdued demeanor. He was looking and talking like a guy whose staff finally persuaded him that he was going to lose the Rust Belt states that gave him a "win" over Hillary, and that he had no path to 270 without them.

There were also stories about a "red mirage." Cheezy's advantage in election day in-person voting totals would create a short-term illusion that he had huge leads in those three states, and since the leads weren't sustainable, the red team would take a stab at stopping the vote counting while he still had the "huge lead."

We now know the red mirage was a real thing, and Cheezy's doing exactly what it was predicted he'd do. The reason I'm revisiting the matter is this: Pennsylvania may have been a state that Cheezy's own internal polls told him he would lose. 

I'm not saying it is, but maybe, just maybe, that big lead in PA is also part of the same red mirage that vanished in Wisconsin and Michigan. If it is, that would be something to behold at my headquarters. Maybe he already knows he'll lose PA.

Q NOTES, DAY 229

If the polls are accurate, most white men in this country are ignorant assholes who support Cheez Whiz. It's not an overwhelming majority, but Cheezy has a lead in that particular demographic. Now the panic is setting in because a lot of white males are suddenly realizing their wives may vote for Joe.

I can't shake this feeling that if Cheezy and his mob were confident he had a good shot at winning the election, he'd already be doing his victory dance in the end zone. If there's any smugness and gloating coming from that bunch, it isn't being reported. What's being reported is that Cheezy has cancelled plans to attend his victory party Tuesday night. And his campaigning now is limited to a handful of pep rallies every day that don't accomplish anything other than spreading Microbes From Hell and entertaining hicks and yahoos who were already voting for him with the same crap he tweets every night.

No election is ever complete until Texas assholes like Danny (Goeb) Patrick and Louie Gohmert are heard from. It's almost comical to have worthless hacks from the party that made stealing elections an art form moaning about (D) election cheating.

It's pretty obvious now. Cheezy wants to leave as much ruin and rot as possible for Biden to deal with. He's the kind of asshole who'll piss on the ice cream if he can't have all of it for himself.  

9,000,000 + votes and still counting? There have been more ballots cast in Texas early voting than in the entire 2016 election. Is that a positive sign?

Q. Notes, Day 191

More people ages 18-29 plan to vote in November than voted in the last election, and of those likely to vote, a substantial majority will vote for Biden over Cheezy. That's good stuff.

The conventional wisdom is that the post-RBG Supreme Court will abolish the ACA, and that in turn, wrecking health care will end (R) chances in November.

The joke of the day? That would obviously be the contention that Cheezy loses sleep out of concern for COVID-19 deaths. He doesn't give a shit now, and never has.

Q. Notes, Day 163

Not that it matters, since I probably wouldn't watch any of that bullshit if they paid me, but it seems like the joyful, optimistic (R) convention filled with happy talk is another of Cheezy's phony promises.

Face facts: Happy, satisfied voters are less likely to vote than angry, dissatisfied voters. Those recent polls showing most Cheezy supporters think the country's doing great must have struck a nerve with somebody. Now he'll make sure they're pissing blood by Thursday.

Tearful Supplication

According to Daily Kos, the Bernie Bunch are practically begging Liz Warren to endorse their candidate. Based on my limited personal observations, I believe Liz Warren was the choice of liberals who couldn't stomach Bernie, so her endorsement wouldn't necessarily mean Bernie gets 100 percent of her support added to what he has now.

Super Tuesday

It had to start somewhere, and maybe the results of the Democratic primary elections yesterday are the beginning of the end of Bernie's free ride as a contender in a party he puts down and refuses to join.

Pity Party

Nice to see that Don Crapleone is talking about how unfairly Bernie I'm No Democrat is being treated by the (D) Party.

There's no known force that can splinter the (D) Party as easily as Russia, Scump and Bernie working together, but attacking from different angles.

Added 3:39 PM Monday: I imagine a lot of this crossover shit has happened or will happen in the near future. The Democrats should've banned Bernie when they had the chance.

Narrowing Down the Choices

Sen. Kamala Harris is out. Nearly everyone who interested me when the Democratic debates began is no longer competing for the (D) party presidential nomination. Apparently I'll eventually face a forced choice between Death Wish 1A (Biden, yesterday's news) and Death Wish 1B (Bernie, not even a Democrat), with Liz Warren (too feminine, too liberal) and Mayor Pete (too non-heterosexual) as the only potential alternatives.

The decision by most (D) voters to stick with Death Wishes IA and/or IB means the impeachment process must be dramatic enough to make it impossible for Donnie Dump to win in the EC next year. I hoped to see the ascent of a (D) candidate who was exciting enough to create a blue tsunami, but I guess that's not in the cards. Are Klobuchar and Castro still available?

Likeability

The argument that Donny Butt Pimples would beat Liz Warren because she's angrier and less likeable than him? It's baffling, and makes me wonder what fucking planet some people have been living on since 2016.

Ramblin' Men

After the most recent (D) debate on Thursday, the conventional wisdom among mainstream newspapers like the L.A. Times is that the (D) race has been narrowed down to Biden, Bernie, and Liz Warren. If that's true, I'm not optimistic about the results of the 2020 election. Don't even get me started on Bernie, who isn't even a goddamned (D) in the first place. He and Biden are Death Wish 1a and Death Wish 1b for the party, and I can't see why either one is top-tier, based on what we know about their failures in previous presidential campaigns. There's an article in Salon today that sums up the problem I have with Nice Guy Joe.

Too many people who may be voting next year are apparently getting carried away with Biden's momentum (based mostly on name recognition as a two-term VP), and polls showing he'd stomp Donny Disaster if the election was today (it's not). There may still be enough time before primary voting begins for (D)s to reevaluate their options.

The Not-Hillary?

@ No More Mister Nice Blog: Right-wingers are desperately trying to make Elizabeth Warren into Hillary Clinton, but will probably fail.

Rescue his sorry ass.

Deep down inside, Donny Stink Eye understands there's no way in hell he could've beaten HRC without massive Russian interference in the 2016 election. Of course he's sending out signals that he'll welcome help from anybody out there. Why wouldn't he?
