And The Transition Begins While Turmoil Lingers…
By The Evil Overlady
It’s been a couple weeks since the election and in that time, Dipshit von Spacklewanker has done everything he can to attempt to muddy the waters of the election results.
However, no matter how hard he tries to get people to believe there were election irregularities of one sort or another, once again he and his minions have not been able to produce a single verifiable example of that.
Of course, once again, when fraud is discovered, it always seems to have something to do with Republicans. Once again, people are voting in the names of their deceased family members and when one checks their political Party information, it never fails to be revealed that the criminal is a Republican.
So now, after all this time, all we’re waiting for is the Electoral College to meet to finalize the election entirely. Providing we’re not dealing with Faithless Electors (and we had better not be), things will be written in stone, so to speak, by the end of this year.
This year. Oh, gods, this year.
2020 seemed like it would be a magical year of sorts, and then COVID-19 happened. At this point, November 24, 2020, over 250,000 people have died. That’s over a quarter of a million Americans who have died as a result of COVID-19.
And Fapweasel von Anklebiter has done everything he possibly can to try to downplay the seriousness of this horrific pandemic, showing absolutely no sympathy for those who have gotten the virus or for their families who are dealing with their loss at this point.
I’d like to think that we had such an amazing voter turnout this time around because people were emotionally sickened by the inaction and blatant disregard for human life that has been demonstrated by the Trump administration over the past four years, but the cynical part of me thinks there is some other reason. I’m not sure what that reason would be, but I’m certain it’s there, somewhere.
We cannot allow our government to be usurped again. These bastards appear to have no conscience and their only loyalty is to the almighty dollar.
That’s not what the Great Experiment that is American Democracy is all about. We’re coming close to dissolving and I really don’t want to see that happen.
Anyhow, Happy Turkey Day to those who will be celebrating it this week. Please, for the love of Dread Cthulhu on a bicycle built for two, do it sensibly.
Keep to yourselves as much as possible. I know you really want to be able to have Grandma and Grandpa join you, but you need to keep them and yourselves safe from this plague. If you make them ill, you may end up killing them.
Are you really that selfish?
If you need to see them, use something like Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom (or even Facebook’s rooms, if that’s a thing they can use), to see one another face-to-face. I know it’s not quite the same, but even being able to lay eyes on one another is better than infecting someone.
Or being infected and then passing it along to an innocent child who isn’t to blame for selfish adult behavior.
So, the lecture is over for today.
I’ll pick on y’all later.
Watching the infection numbers climb and awaiting the elevation of the dreaded death rates in Los Angeles County which will follow brings tears to my eyes as I offer them as proof that your heartfelt advice above was ignored. Having friends that went to Thanksgiving dinner assured that only the people “in their bubble” would be there only to have extra guests show up in droves has pretty much made me into a cynical bitch about the whole thing. You were ignored. All of us who begged for people to find their brains have been ignored. Christmas, in spite of the mounting evidence, will likely be worse. I am angry and I will not ever be able to forget this year, the year of total disillusionment, even after the previous three years of gradual disillusionment. I am heartsick for the country that I have spent a lifetime loving.
I’ve got it on good authority that many hospitals have quietly contracted with extra nurses to work through at least the first half of January, so they are likely also able to read the handwriting on the wind.
