One quibble, Greg. Please stop saying Trump "came down with [COVID-19]" as if it's fact. It's not. Until I see medical records from a legitimate source showing that, I won't believe it. Trump is a documented liar. His alleged COVID-19 diagnosis was very convenient for the election, although it backfired miserably. In addition, his wife, son, and 30-some others in his inner circle also allegedly got COVID, and yet, "like a miracle, it went away" without any ill effects, it seems. At least we didn't hear about any. Chris Christie, I believe. He was in an ICU and showed signs of recovery from it afterwards. The rest of them might as well have been cured by Jesus (or Satan), if you believe that sort of thing.

I thought the anger would abate with Biden's victory, but it's only gotten worse, and then here comes Comorbidity Emily Murphy to continue to try and fuck up Biden's transition. How this corpulent character can continue to hold up "ascertaining" the results of the election is beyond me. Is she waiting for the Electoral College vote, which Trump will also fight? Is she waiting for Congress to count the Electoral College vote in January, which Trump will ALSO try to fight? I've seen people suggesting that she be bribed with Wendy's gift cards. And yes, I've participated in the occasional fat-shaming too, and been criticized for it. BUT, this is yet another bureaucrat who we'd know nothing about, and would never have seen her, if she had only DONE HER JOB. That's all we know about her: she, like so many others right up to this president, don't do their jobs, and she's morbidly obese. Since these people seem proud not to do their jobs "for Trump," the fat-shaming stays.

Kevin McCarthy should temper his wistful dreams of being in the Senate. I remember a time when being a Senator might have been a point of pride. Now, under McConnell, it's just another part of the political mafia. DEMOCRATS MUST WIN BOTH SENATE SEATS IN GEORGIA or we will continue in the reign of terror that is McConnell's Senate. Clearly, until he drops dead, he's not going anywhere. We've got to get the Senate back and then assume we have only two years to fix things.

January 20th can't come soon enough.

All of this is driven by the lust for power and the divinity of their Holy Trinity: plutocracy, theocracy, and white supremacy. If people have to die for the holy cause, so be it. This is why the Republican party must be destroyed.

NEVER FORGET - GOP DELENDA EST.
