As the final election returns filter in, the staggering
defeat delivered to our Caesar Disgustus takes shape. It shouldn't
have gone this way, for surely Disgustus, aping a well-worn
Democratic tendency, has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
As the country approached election night, fully 68 per
cent of those questioned told pollsters that they were satisfied with
the economy. Indeed, unemployment, however measured, was near an all
time low with some news agencies reporting that for the first time in
decades median household income was inching up. But only 38 per
cent said that the country was moving in the right direction.
This startling disconnect can be laid at the feet of our
very own Caesar Disgustus. His daily tantrums, his infantile
responses, his breathtaking ignorance, his staggering incompetence,
the depth of his corruption and his transparent mendacity manifests
daily into a relentless assault upon our institutions, our beliefs,
and our national honor.
Accordingly, the people have administered a well
deserved flogging.
As of this writing, the Democratic Party is poised to
gain between 36 and 40 seats in the House of Representatives, more
than enough to gain control of the body. Gone are the days of a
lick-spittle Rescumlickan house failing in its constitutional
obligations to investigate, advise, and oversee the executive. When
the new year comes, Disgustus will be presented with real hearings,
with witnesses compelled to testify under oath and before the nation.
No more closed door hearing, no more witnesses not required to
testify under oath, no more cover-ups, obfuscations, or delay.
On the Senate side, the Blue Wave was not
apparent, because the Democrats were defending 26 seats, the
Rescumlickans only 9, with many Democratic senators representing deep
red territory. Going into the election, it was questionable if the
Democrats could hold the seats held by a most uninspiring lot—Donelly
of Indiana, McCaskill of Missouri, Nelson of Florida, Heitcamp of
North Dakota—all representing states that Disgustus had carried
easily in 2016. Of those most at risk, only Manchin of West Virginia
held on.
But the Democrats turned a couple of Rescumlickan seats,
most notably in Nevada and Arizona. In an act of inspired political
stupidity, our Disgustus determined that Jeff Flake—who while
voting with the White House more often than any other member of the
Senate had, nevertheless, voiced tepid criticism—was not
sufficiently loyal to our aspiring Caesar. Therefore, determining
that he must go, Disgustus went about trashing the Senator, making it
clear that in all probability he would be defeated in the upcoming
primary. Flake chose to not stand for re-election.
Accordingly, the good people of Arizona, faced with a
choice between a Democrat and another Disgustus wannabe, opted for
the Democrat. Here we have the Democracy claiming a seat once held
by Barry Goldwater.
It gets more interesting: Kansas—KANSAS--elected a
Democratic governor and member of the House. 360 of the more than
thousand state legislative seats lost during the Obama years have
been reclaimed, boding well for upcoming reapportionment after the
2020 census. The Democrats also claimed a number of governors and
other state-wide offices. As it stands, with Mississippi still to
conduct a run-off election, the Scum have gained only 2 seats in the
Senate. Not the outcome the nation deserves but not the victory that
Disgustus has claimed.
Nevertheless it was an ugly affair. The scum claimed
victory in Georgia after the Secetary of State Brian Kemp, overseeing
his own election, had closed 214 polling places, put 60,000 absentee
ballots on hold, and provided voting machines without electrical
hookup, all in largely minority and Democratic precincts. Reports
circulated of people being pulled from a bus on their way to vote, of
long lines with some voters having to stand in line over three hours
to vote, and many showing up only to find that they documents didn't
precisely match or that they had been purged from the voting lists.
It has been noted in these columns that Disgustus
regularly betrays a marked tendency to project on to others
his own shortcomings or crimes. And, indeed, the Rescumlickan Party,
aping it's leader, is doing the same thing.
As votes were being recounted in Florid and Georgia,
Kemp of Georgia, Rubio and Scott in Florida joined the chorus
declaring that the Democrats were, by insisting on the count of every
vote, somehow “stealing” the election. No matter that the final
recount gave them the victory. Here we had our Caesar Disgustus and
his minions laying down the groundwork for challenging the legitimacy
of any unfavorable outcome....no doubt a dry-run for 2020.
The tragedy here is that there was indeed an attempt to
steal an election. Indeed, elections were stolen and Georgia is a
textbook case in point. But the scum win both ways...by challenging
every defeat with claims of voter fraud and by suppressing voter
turnout, they elicit on the one hand illegitimate claims that
elections are being stolen from them, but generate legitimate claims
by the opposition. This erodes our fundamental electoral system from
both sides as each side—one illegitimate and one with cause—cries
foul.
This is, of course, a dry-run leading to the much bigger
contest two years from now as rumblings of illegitimacy course
through the canyons of our politics. When the time comes, Disgustus
will declare that his 'rightful' place will have been stolen, laying
the foundation for turmoil if not insurrection.
Disgustus, of course, learns nothing. He simply cannot
be taught; and the thrashing administered on 6 November, cannot—of
course—be a rejection of tRUMP. His ego simply cannot have it.
Therefore, we see him in the East Room, calling out and attempting to
shame all those members of congress who didn't show him enough love
and therefore—by his reckoning, lost. He said before the election
that it was all about him. After the election it is still all about
him. But not in the way apparent to the rest of the universe. It
must take a lot of energy to twist reality into the shape reflected
in a fun-house mirror.
