Trump's Idiotic Reign has Ended and Other Things

   At 11:00am CST, Dipshit Donnie's term as President came to an ignominious end with the swearing in of Joe Biden as President. Finally, after 4 long, painful years, sanity has returned to the White House. The Great Orange Asshole didn't attend the Inauguration which was a definite plus. Former VP Pence was in attendance. Thankfully, no violence occurred despite there being rumblings of protests being held at all the state capitols by the MAGA maggots.

  Trump's second impeachment trial should be gearing up soon. While I REALLY want him to be convicted, that outcome seems unlikely. I don't think enough Republicans will vote to convict him. Most are too spineless and corrupt to do what's necessary. On a more optimistic note, now that Trump no longer has Presidential immunities, a legal shit storm is heading his way. The southern district of New York, among others, is pursuing legal action against Trump over various state and federal crimes. Other members of the Trumps clan, like Ivanka and Jared Kushner, are also involved in these allegations.

  Turning to the personal side of things, time is slowly creeping towards my hip replacement surgery. I ran into a bit of a problem when the doctor's office called and informed me that my health insurance terminated on Dec. 31st. I called Anthem and found out that my Member ID and Group number for my insurance had changed on Jan 1st. but my new insurance card hadn't been mailed yet. Until the new card arrives in the mail, Anthem securely emailed me a card to print out with the new information on it.

  My test results have indicated that my creatinine level has gone up past 2. This isn't good. My nephrologist says that this might be the result of an enlarged prostate preventing my bladder from fully draining. I'm going to have an ultrasound done to see if that's the case. He also said that I should try to stay hydrated, cut down on my caffeine intake and temporarily stop taking my lisinopril/HCTZ tablets. I can't let my creatinine level get too high or they'll cancel my surgery. I'm going to be heading over to the Aurora clinic later today for some lab tests.

  I used the second stimulus check money to catch up on some bills. My paychecks lately have been bigger. I splurged recently and bought some supplements for the Judge Dredd and the Worlds of 2000 AD RPG. The first two, Strontium Dog and Rogue Trooper arrived Tuesday. The last one, The Day the Law Died, won't be coming for a while due to pandemic restrictions. I'm contemplating getting a copy of Cyberpunk Red.

  The Hexacube Kickstarter is showing progress. The new company hired to make the dice has produced some samples that look like they'll be up to standards. The seller has to receive said samples for testing. I've backed an unusual roleplaying game, Dungeon Bitches. This Kickstarter was funded fairly quickly so the game's going to get published. Four of the stretch goals have been funded. As of this writing, there are still 24 days left for the other 3 stretch goals to get funded. This game is a little outside my comfort zone. Being a heterosexual male, I don't know what it's like to live as a lesbian. You see, unlike Macho Women with Guns, Dungeon Bitches isn't geared towards humor. The rules make it clear that the PCs are living in a world that doesn't understand them and actively hates them in many instances. This games hits on subject matter that some might find disturbing in a manner similar to White Wolf's Charnel Houses of Europe: The Shoah supplement for Wraith: The Oblivion or Clockworks roleplaying game, Asylum. That being said, I want to add this game to my collection. 

2020 in Review

   2020 is over. Overall it's been a shit year. My financial situation hasn't been the greatest. The $600 stimulus check helped alleviate my financial woes somewhat. I had more health issues this year. As reported earlier, my gall bladder was removed in mid July. The hip replacement surgery that was to have happened Dec. 21st. was cancelled because the surgeon had some kind of emergency. It's been rescheduled for Feb. 8th. I want to get this done. I'm tired of waiting.

  There was no Gen Con or Ren Faire in 2020 because of the virus. Everything pretty much ground to a halt because of the virus. On the plus side, the election is over and Trump lost big time and the Democrats will control the House, Senate and the Presidency. Some measure of sanity has been restored. But the MAGA maggots still exist and will still cause trouble.

  I'm putting in 40 hours/week at work. My check covering Christmas was quite nice. I'm hoping the New Year's check is nice as well. The $2,000 stimulus checks are closer to becoming a reality now that the Democrats are in control. I could use $2,000 right now.

  The House is currently listening to Representatives regarding the objection to the Pennsylvania Electoral College vote. Now the House is voting regarding the objection. So far, all the Democrats have voted against the objection while most Republicans, at this point, have voted for it. The objection was just voted down by the House. The last states are now being certified. Certification is done. It's official. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are President elect and Vice President elect. 

Whiny, Petulant Contard Snowflakes Can't Accept That Trump Lost

   The MAGA maggots, in typical whiny snowflake fashion, are still trying to thwart the will of the people and keep Dipshit Donnie in office. They stormed the U.S. Capitol, resulting in a temporary shut down and suspension of the Electoral College certification by the House. These stupid motherfuckers think that they're patriots when they're nothing more than domestic terrorists whose brains have been compromised by Trump, Fox News, Breitbart, OAN and Qanon. As I write this, the House is voting regarding the objection to the Pennsylvania Electoral College votes being certified. Right now, it looks like the certification has been put on hold.

  The contards responsible for this need to be arrested and tried as seditionists. They must be held accountable for their actions. Some government officials are talking about invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution and bouncing Trump's massive orange ass out of the White House. The reality is this. Trump lost the election by a landslide, 232 to 306. That's the first nail in the coffin. Trump and his lawyers lost nearly all of his lawsuits regarding voter fraud. That's the second nail. The Electoral College cast their votes certifying the popular votes cast in each state. That's nail number three. There's only two nails left. The House has to certify the Electoral College vote and, on Jan. 20th, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get inaugurated as President and Vice President of the United States. Once those last two nails are hammered home, Trump's coffin will be well and truly sealed.

  To add insult to injury, the GOP lost both elections in the Georgia Senate runoffs. That gives the Democrats control of the Senate because, although it's a 50/50 split between the parties, Vice President elect Harris has the deciding vote in the case of a tie.

  The GOP has lost its collective mind and deserves to die a painful and humiliating death. They're corrupt, immoral and incompetent. They're mostly feckless cunts kowtowing to a wannabe dictator and trying to overthrow American democracy. They need to suffer.

End of the Year Setbacks

   Today was supposed to be the day my hip got replaced. But I got a call a few days back telling me that the surgeon that's doing the operation had an emergency come up and the surgery has been cancelled. This fucking sucks. I have no idea when the surgery will be rescheduled but I'm hoping that the delay won't be too long.

  My financial situation is crap. I'm behind on my bills and I've only recently gotten back up to 40 hours at work. Some unplanned for additional expenses, like both my plates and license needing to be renewed plus medical expenses insurance didn't cover have stuck it to be good. The federal government has approved a new stimulus bill that's supposed to include $600 checks for everyone. They're saying they'll be sent out sometime in January. I could really use the money right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to file my taxes early and get a hefty refund.

  Gen Con is out of the question this year. The money simply won't be there. My credit card bill is too high so I won't be able to cover the hotel bill, gas or tolls for the trip. My debit cards are devoid of funds. I sure as shit hope this doesn't get worse.

  My paperwork regarding the surgery has been turned in to the proper people. From what I've gathered, I've filled out my parts correctly. Now the doctor and the insurance people have to do their part. If everything works out, I should be getting some money during the time I'm recovering from surgery.

  My Mom bought a new iPad a while back. While she likes technology, she doesn't really know how to work it. I'm usually the one that sets up her computers, cellphones and tablets. She had a small Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 that she never really used. She gave it to me. It only has 8 Gb of internal memory but it has a 60 Gb micro SD card in the memory slot. I've set it up so that any photos or videos I take with it are stored on the SD card. I want to use this tablet as a camera in place of my cellphone. I have a pair of Aukey Ora 2 in 1 lenses that I can clip over the tablet's camera lens. One is a 15x macro lens for extreme close ups and the other, a 0.45x wide angle lens, in combination with the macro lens, takes 120 degree wide angle photos. I ordered a combination keyboard/tablet case for the Tab A6 that should be arriving in the mail today.

Seditious Contards

   Even after losing the vast majority of his election fraud lawsuits, Dipshit Donnie is still trying to overturn the 2020 election. The Electoral College certified Biden's win on Dec. 14th putting another nail in the Toxic Turdball's coffin. Sadly, all this has done is send Trump into yet another tweet storm and Trump supporters have been holding violent protests with people like Alex Jones stating that Biden will be removed from office "one way or the other". Remember, this is the motherfucker that said that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax which lend to some of the survivors receiving death threats from Jones's fans. Why this asshole hasn't been arrested for sedition is beyond me. The same could be said for the 106 House Republicans that tried to negate the votes cast in Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Here's the video.

  

These GOP cocksuckers are trying their best to undermine our democracy. They should be removed from office in accordance to section 3 of the 14th Amendment for their disloyalty. Here's another video showing the Neo Nazi Proud Boys committing acts of violence at pro Trump rallies.

These seditious inbred syphilitic goat fuckers need to be rounded up and locked up. I hope the various law enforcement agencies find a way to break them up and destroy their influence. They need to suffer for their crimes.

Right Wing Evangelical Contards

   For some time now, conservatives have used the term libtard, a portmanteau of the words liberal and retard, to denigrate those on the Left. To the best of my knowledge, the opposite term, contard, has never been used or used extremely infrequently. We liberals need to use this term more often. Especially now given the shit some of these contards are trying to pull.

  That brings us to the subject of this post, the right wing evangelical contard. Ever since Biden and Harris have been declared the winners of this year's election, they've been losing their collective minds. They've been praying for God to strike down those people conspiring against Trump. They can't believe that the majority of the people don't regard Trump as the second coming of Christ. Let's look at a few of these pricks. First up, Kenneth Copeland.

As you can clearly see here, Hyena Boy has a problem with reality. This religious con man thinks that he and his followers can just ignore what just happened. The joke's on you, pal. Whether you like it or not, Trump lost.

  Next up, we have Trump's spiritual advisor, Paula White. This cunt goes mental and starts ranting some cult like chant occasionally interspersed with gibberish calling upon angels and whatnot to strike down Trump's enemies.

  This member of the right wing lunatic fringe comes across as a female Jim Jones and we all know how well things went at Jonestown. Let's take a more detailed look at on stage mental meltdown.

  She acts like she has divine forces at her beck and call. She arrogantly believes that wherever she walks is holy ground. She's clearly delusional and/or a charlatan. And the scary part is people believe her and send her money.

  Third on the list is Michele Bachmann. This religious zealot used a member of the House of Representatives. How a woman this off the deep end got elected is beyond me. She's posted a cult like rant similar to Paula White calling upon God to smash the 'jar of delusion' effecting America. I'd be careful about that if I were her. God may interpret 'jar of delusion' as meaning the skull containing your brain and smash that. Here's the video.

  Copeland and White are little more than con artists. The reason they love Trump so much is that he caters to their needs. They get their followers to believe that Trump is the Chosen of God so they'll vote for him and he grants them influence in the federal government. They'll try to pass laws in the name of 'religious freedom' that basically give evangelicals the power to shove their religious views down everyone else's throats. They want to be able to get political from the pulpit without sacrificing their tax exempt status. They don't give a shit about anybody else not even their own followers. Bachmann, on the other hand, is little more than a religious dupe. She's far too stupid to realize that people like Copeland and White are just power hungry, money grubbing grifters. She's like the blind little sheeples following these grifters. That's what makes her, and people like her, dangerous. They believe the verbal diarrhea being spewed by the grifters. They believe it with all their heart and soul. And some of them may decide to act on said beliefs. What violence will come from that? 

  This last video includes some footage from the previous videos as well as footage of other preachers going batshit crazy over Trump's loss. While it's amusing to watch their stupidity, just remember that there are a lot of these people in America and they're just stupid enough to tear this nation apart.

MAGA Maggots and Trump's Humiliating Loss

   It's now 17 days after the election and Dipshit Donnie still hasn't conceded. His record for winning the lawsuits he's filed is an abysmal 1 win and 15 losses. Poll workers have been receiving death threats from the MAGA maggots. These maggots say they want a fair vote count. This is a lie. The don't want, and have never wanted, a fair election. They want Trump to remain President. Period.

  Trump, the MAGA maggots and the spineless, toadying members of the GOP are not patriots, they're traitors and they should be treated as such. Even Fox News, normally avid Trump supporters, have acknowledged Biden's victory Of course other right wing propaganda networks like One America News and Newsmax are still pumping out conspiracy theories to the brain addled MAGA maggots.

  Another ploy Trump is trying to exploit is faithless electors. Unfortunately for Trump, the Supreme Court shot that down. So far after all the vote recounting, no states Biden has won have switched to Trump. But the fight is by no means over. Trump is still trying to stop election certification in certain key areas. Until the election is officially certified, the electors can't vote.

  Even if the election is officially certified, the MAGA maggots won't be satisfied. They could try to force the outcome they want via violence. And we all know Trump will be right there fanning the flames. Trump doesn't care about America. He only cares about himself. He wants power and will stop at nothing to keep it. He's also making a last minute money grab from his supporters ostensibly to investigate voter fraud although 60% of it is going cover Trump's campaign debts.

  We need to certify Biden's victory. Then, on Jan. 20th, throw Dipshit Donnie out of the White House.
