-Bill Belichick refuses the presidential Medal of Freedom award from Trump.

-social media permanently blocks you.

-your wealthy white GOP friends worry that no one will remember the good things Trump has done.  

-Bill Barr urges you not to pardon yourself.

-when the right-wing protestors call Fox News to inform them it wasn't Antifa that stormed the Capitol.

-Arnold Schwarzenegger calls for Trump's impeachment.

-the FBI warns of more violent protests in all 50 states.

-Mitchell McConnell won't obstruct your 2nd impeachment.

  

TIME TO LEAVE

 

When do politically astute people know when it's time to leave?

1. Almost always after inciting a deadly insurgency.

2. Seeing their ardent supporters in federal and state legislatures get warnings of expulsion and/or expelled from their jobs. 

3. When you are deleted permanently from social media.

4. Watching their powerful allies in Congress abandon all hope of a 'winning' spin or a rescue.

5. When your faithful, loyally-blind vice-president is so pissed off that he won't even talk to you for endangering his life.

6. When said vice-president can dangle the 25th Amendment to declare you unfit for office.

7. Seeing your ratings (the polls) plummet as the majority of the American people want you removed from office immediately.

8. Hearing your pathetic wife cry victim to a resounding backlash of 'shut the f**k up'.

9. Knowing not even crazy Giuliani or media whore lawyer Dershowitz can't save you.

10. Now that your name is a dirty word and you'll never recover politically from insurrection.

To All Republican Trump Apologists & Antifa Conspiracy Theorists

"No evidence has been found that members of the left-wing antifa movement were involved in this week’s storming of the Capitol building, the FBI said Friday, contradicting a narrative pushed by some Trump allies.

“We have no indication of that at this time,” Washington Field Office assistant director Steven D'Antuono said during a briefing when asked about any potential involvement of antifa." -The Hill

Wake up Republicans! If you continue to support Trump or feed the paranoid conspiracy that antifa was really responsible for his insurrection, you are playing a dangerous game with democracy. Time to take responsibility for years of reinforcing and fomenting the radical right dissent. You know, you've accused Democrats of this with the radical left. But it was your mob, under your president, under your watch. Like the violent mob who stormed the Capitol, you are aiding and abetting anarchists. 

If you don't believe me, read the definition of an anarchist. 'What does it mean to be a 'anarchist'? Definition of anarchist. 1 : a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power. 2 : a person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order.'  -Merriam Webster

By approving of Trump and/or refusing to believe his deranged Q-Anon, Proud Boys, right-wing nihilists, and White Supremacist followers caused this violent breach, you are siding with the same ideology used by dictators. As a nation, this seditious rhetoric has to be eradicated. That is why Trump was frozen out of social media along with several of his ardent followers. One of the most effective ways to quell this tyranny is by cutting it off by its vile social media head. 

The consequences of trying to thwart the impeachment of Trump will be viewed as complicit by those of us who have watched for the last four years of a president who is a Russian asset, has caged children, and has systematically supported the rampant abuse of civil rights.

Taking a stand also means confronting those who have espoused the Trump doctrine. A friend of mine who is a Republican, called me saying she was horrified by the storming of Capitol Hill. However, in the same breath she lamented, "It is so sad that people are not remembering the good things Trump has done." Astonished, I heatedly responded that Trump bears the chief responsibility for this historic violent attempt to overthrow the government and no one remembers the good Hitler did either. As a moderate Republican, I used to admire her middle-of-the-road perspective. Her denial, blind to the damage done by Trump and his GOP allies is shocking-I am not sure our friendship can survive this. 

Trump and his insulated followers have lost touch with reality. They are residing in what Pat Robertson referred to (Trump) as "living in an alternate reality." As a country, we need to send a strong message to all radicals whether they are on the right or left. And, especially for his apologist supporters. It starts with impeaching this president.

Dear Trump, You're Fired

 

Dear Mr. Trump,

While you're stewing in your rageaholic fantasies of revenge, here are some calming thoughts to help you in your moment of unbridled despair:

-Pat Robertson is praying for you no matter which alternate universe is your permanent residence.

-Haldol can help with those hyper, fury-fueled fits.

-Think of yourself as successfully being impeached again. You're the winner of Q-Anon's most popular impeached president.

-At least Rudy and Don Jr. can be your jailhouse pen pals.

-Don't worry about all those so-called loyalists fleeing your sinking ship. Mike Pence will find them a new job.

-When the tear gas exploded on Capitol Hill, your message to wear masks finally was heard by your constituents.

-Don't worry about being homeless and jobless. Putin, Maduro, & Erdogan will take care of you.

-Even though Melania's 'Be Best' campaign was an utter failure, and she never made a major fashion cover during your presidency, you both can be featured on 'White Supremacy Weekly'.

-Now that the taxpayers & the RNC will no longer be paying for your lawsuits, golf, & pork, you can proudly claim to your supporters that you weaned yourself off of welfare.

-Since you've resumed the federal death penalty, death by firing squad for treason means you don't have to pardon yourself.

New Brooms Sweep Dirt

 They say new brooms sweep clean or so I've heard. What dirt is our soon to be president sweeping into this New Year?

1. Committing, convicting, I mean pardoning more criminals, sorry, I mean 'American patriots'.

2. Plotting the 'Night of the Long Knives' American-style.

3. Gearing up for the Proud Boys parade.

4. Spouting bad presidential mathematics.

5. Taking your niece Mary's advice by going into treatment to deal with suicidal ego loss & a self-destructive rage spiral.
