“It’s pretty clear who ruined America,” Bee began. “White people. I guess ruining Brooklyn was just a dry run. The Caucasian nation showed up in droves to vote for Trump so I don’t want to hear a goddamn word about black voter turnout. How many times do we expect black people to build our country for us? White people, this is the worst.”
“And don’t try to distance yourself and say #notallwhitepeople,” she continued. “If Muslims have to take responsibility for every member of their community, so do we. Oh, does that feel awful? Yeah. 63 percent of white men said ‘If I can’t be in charge, burn it down!’ And a majority of white women faced with the historic choice between a female and a vial of weaponized testosterone said, ‘I’ll take option B. I just don’t like her.’ Hope you got your stickers, ladies. Way to lean out!”
You know I was really enjoying this bit and yelling out "You tell'em Samantha!" right up until I passed a mirror in my house and remembered that I am not only super duper white, but I am also a male.
Well crap!
Then I just felt all sad and self loathing.
But then I took solace in the knowledge that in just a couple of months, after Trump voters realize that he either has not intention, or no ability, to keep the idiotic promises that he made while running, and that the policies he WILL enact will do great harm to them personally, that I will soon be joined in my self loathing by white women, lower income Southern men, Teabaggers, white Evangelicals, the GOP establishment, and essentially EVERYONE whose last name is not "Trump."
And at least I TRIED to do the right thing.

ReplyDeleteWord.
The only problem with that is that everyone, here and abroad, will also have to bear the burden of the 21st century's GOP great triumph over democracy. I don't think I'll feel elated until they are all swept from office.
DeleteBeaglemom
Yes. The GOP will have total control of House and Senate and will have to actually G O V E R N for once, instead of dreaming up obstructionist tactics to tittilate their base.
DeleteAnd they must explain how their new shiny government in our bedrooms, bathrooms and doctor's offices is part of being the new improved 'small government'.
All that Drumpf anger will go somewhere when those impossible campaign promises aren't upheld. Let's work together to ensure that anger is directed at the true cause, and not the various scapegoats the GOP will offer up.
There is a great likelyhood that Trump will be impeached for at least 2 offenses; his upcoming court convictions and his ties to Russia before, during and after the election.
ReplyDeleteBut then we get Pence. Though he is a fundamental nut job too, I'm not quite as afraid of him having nuclear codes as I am Trump.
Pence wants to ban condoms as a way to reduce the rate of abortion. He and his ardent supporters (praying for god to kill Trump, by the way) believe that if protection isn't readily available, people just won't have sex.
DeletePence will want to outlaw seatbelts, next, to cut down on wrecks because people will drive more carefully since they don't have the protection of a seatbelt.
He cannot be impeached for the Trump U crimes as that happened before he was elected. It's also unlikely he'd be given a prison sentence. Just a fine, which he'll pay. That is if he doesn't settle first. He loves to settle with no admission of guilt so he can brag that he's never lost and has never been guilty of anything.
DeleteThe election fixing also won't stick. He didn't do it. The Russians and Assange did it, he just took advantage of it. No way to prove he asked them to do it. Same with the FBI. Unless Trump asked Giuliani to ask a buddy in the FBI to get Comey to release that letter, no way to prove Trump manipulated the election. Did Giuliani KNOW? Absolutely. But again, Trump didn't instigate it, just took advantage of it.
But will he be impeached? I have no doubt. They'll get him on perjury, just like Bill Clinton only this time it will stick. He'll lie on financial disclosure documents that all elected officials are required to fill out and sign under oath. He'll lie because we all know he can't tell the truth. He'll get caught. He'll be impeached and even the Republicans won't save him. Enough of them will have the integrity to vote him out. By that time he'll have made more enemies or simply be considered too unfit to hold the office. Plus I'm sure they'd all rather have Mike Pence. Then Pence can appoint a VP that they can approve.
If Trump is impeached, then Paul Ryan would be VP and then Pres when Pence is impeached or resigns.
DeleteI've seen it before and y'all have, too. President Paul Ryan has the same cadence as President Gerald Ford.
It's going to be a long, long wait for Trump's supporters to realize "no intention, or no ability". The Sarah Palin supporters hung on well passed the point where any sane person would realize Palin is dumber than a box of rocks.
ReplyDeleteTrump supporters just want to enjoy hate, wallow in hate, shout hate, bow before the altar of hate, etc. Analyzing the defects of one Donald J. Trump is not on their agenda.
Trump is already back on Twitter, tweeting about how "unfair" protesters are treating him. It's gonna be a very long four years for him and I hope Democrats make him as miserable as possible.
DeleteBe miserable, Donald.
DeleteThey're excercising their rights.
Not everyone bows at your name.
It's going to be fun to watch him lose his cool over every tiny thing. It's the silver lining in all this, that trump will be so easy to troll.
DeleteHitler did not do well with protesters either. Prisons and early concentration camps were filled with people who opposed him. It's not going to be funny to watch this Trump presidency unfold. If he does not broadcast a statement (not a tweet) some time today telling the children of his supporters to stop behaving like little fascists then we will know that he approves their behavior.
DeleteBeaglemom
People forgiving and letting Bill Clinton and Donald Trump move on from mistakes, yet forever holding Hillary, Sarah, and any woman really to a higher standard, not letting them move on and live in the present is why the world sucks. If both those named women were men, no one would have a bad word to say. Hillary makes Sarah look like a newborn kitten, but it doesn't matter. The world is sexist. Women are not respected. They're still viewed as weaker. When in reality, they're so much better than EVERY man on this planet. I don't know Hillary which is why I dont comment on her. But Sarah is a selfless, balanced, hardworking woman who has never neglected anything in her life to pursue something else. She is a successful working mom yet made time to go to games even a Governor, planed vacations and road trips, blended family life with professional in amazing ways. That is undisputed by those who actually know her. my friends worked for her a Governor. A black woman. She attests to all this. Britta just attested to it in a defensive statement about her.

Sarah Palin took a transcontinental air flight after an amniotic fluid leak without a medical check when "pregnant" with a Down Syndrome baby while she was high risk (7th pregnancy, history of miscarriage, over 40 years old). She by-passed a hospital with a neo-natal intensive care unit to supposedly give birth in a small hospital not even rated to handle twins.
DeleteSarah Palin bragged about these details. A woman that handled such a pregnancy that way is insane. A woman that invented a story like that is insane. Either way, Sarah Palin is insane (and dumber than a box of rocks).
Transcontinental? No, she didn't.
DeletePlease learn geography.

ReplyDeleteRachel, along with the other MSNBC pundits, was yukking it up Tuesday night when things were suddenly looking really good for Donald Trump. That's when we turned the television off after watching of all of 4 minutes. Some of us had been reading for months about the ties between Trump's advisors and the Russians and about the likelihood of Russian hacking. Where were these pundits then? Less than two weeks ago the NYTimes called interference by Russia in our election "much ado about nothing." Lots of journalists, on television and in print, failed their country over the past two years.

ReplyDeleteOh no no no no no.
DeleteHe will be "encouraged" to nominate the most conservative right wing anti-abortionist he has on that list that was prepared for him.
Merrick Garland will never sit on the Supreme Court.
Obama should have put him on during a recess. If only for a few weeks or months. Rub the Republicans noses in their obstruction.
May the Democrats in the Senate do the same on every single piece of legislation for the next four years. Have a press conference and announce your resolve to make Trump a one term president and block every piece of legislation that comes through the Senate.
Sauce for the gander.
Does anyone think there is a remote chance to Trump nominating Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court out of wanting to appear to work with Democrats? Sorry for post above...I mistakenly included the word "not".
ReplyDeleteTrump will get 2-3 Supreme Court picks which will tilt the Court to the wing-nut right for several decades.
DeleteBye, bye Roe V. Wade. It was nice while it lasted. The grand-children of today's middle-school kids MIGHT get to control their own reproductive health. But the current generation is screwed.
Sam Bee is right, white people and the DNC chair DWS are to blame.
DeleteHow I wish. I keep hoping that when Trump really has to make decisions he will stop and think things through in a way he hasn't before. Hopefully, at least a couple people around him will encourage that and not just fill his head with their wishes. Earlier today I posted about an interesting West Wing episode (The Supremes) that was about deciding on the choices for SCOTUS. I was so taken years back when near the end Pres Bartlet talked about what was needed on the court--real thinkers and good arguments made--and I've been thinking about that epi a lot.
Delete5:53, it's so scary and this is why I am glad to see the protests. If I wasn't working late into the night I'd have joined the one here where I live. I hope that these marches will happen all during Trump's term whenever he forgets just who it is he represents and just how easy it will be to vote him out in four years. Man, I keep hoping that the fact that he's been a Dem before, has daughters, and has always enjoyed so much about the liberal lifestyle will mean that a part of him remembers that healthy sex is not something to be punished for and that women deserve a right to choice. I keep hoping that half of what he has been spouting is not what he actually believes and will simply go with as a thanks to the GOP loons who helped him win. I keep hoping that Obama and someone else who's a GOP real adult will talk to him about what goes into the decision making and taking time to really weigh everything. Pipe dream, huh?

ReplyDeleteMaybe white men like you are to blame for not accounting all the negatives and lies of the Hillary candidacy until it was too late. How embarrassing.
Yes, Trump lied. And he will continue to lie. He can't help it, he has no ability to recognize truth. He can only attract people that have the same flaw.
DeleteThat may all be true 6:29, but he won.
DeleteHe, in the end, was more electable.
"Samantha Bee lays the blame for the election of Donald Trump where is rightfully belongs, on white people."
ReplyDeleteTake note, the Lower 48 lays the blame for SARAH PALIN meddling in the lower 48's business and grown folks business where is rightfully belongs, on Alaskans (not all Alaskans like Gryphen who speaks out).
If you Alaskans weren't afraid of the Palins back in 2008 and hollered from Alaska to Florida that Sarah Palin is a two bit fraud then she would still be in Alaska standing in front of turkeys getting beheaded and having relations with visiting African-American college basketball teams.

Faithless Electors Could Put Clinton In Office
ReplyDeleteSometimes the cruelest thing you can do is give someone hope in a hopeless situation. But for those of you searching for a dim light at the end of the 2016 election tunnel, here it goes: Hillary Clinton still has a miniscule chance of winning the presidency. While the electoral votes from Michigan and Arizona are still outstanding, Donald Trump’s current lead in the Electoral College is 279 to 228. Trump is nine votes over the 270 needed to win, but some of them can be awarded to Clinton by what’s known as Faithless Electors.
Since the beginning of the Electoral College, Faithless Electors have voted against the winning candidate 157 times. 71 of of these votes were changed because the candidate died before the election and 82 were changed because the elector simply wanted to vote for someone else. Most recently, an anonymous Faithless Elector in Minnesota pledged to vote for Democrat John Kerry, but instead voted for his vice presidential running mate, John Edwards.
The Electoral College officially casts their vote for president on December 19, 2016. To encourage members pledged to vote for Trump to switch to Clinton, a petition has been created at Change.org. The petition’s creators believe that a vote for Clinton aligns with the will of the American electorate because she won the popular vote. “The only reason Trump ‘won’ is because of the Electoral College,” petition reads. “But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result?”

In Trump's video comments today I heard him say (I think this is the wording to a T), "I have great respect." And period--no continuation of the sentence. It made no sense as a full sentence.

He was dumb enough to vote for 'W' *twice*, then was so guilt ridden about it that he volunteered for Habitat for Humanity to do "penance" (How will he wash his guilt off for *this* sin, I wonder?). Then, he voted for Barack Obama; on seeing the results he cried for the one of only three times I remember seeing him weep, expressed genuine fear and concern for his safety and well-being on taking the oath of office, and got roaring mad at the fear tactics going on at the Town Hall shenanigans and debates for the Affordable Care Act.

Donald Trump seeks to delay trial until after inauguration
SAN DIEGO – President-elect Donald Trump wants to delay a federal fraud trial he faces here Nov. 28 until after his inauguration in January, his attorney told a judge on Thursday, two days after Trump was elected president.
When the judge asked why, Trump's attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, summed it up like this:
"In view of Mr. Trump’s election as President of the United States, your honor."....
"....Donald Trump seeks to delay trial until after inauguration..." (now that it's after the inauguration he has another excuse)
"....Trump wanted to testify in person before his election as president...." (didn't he delay it?)
"...Petrocelli also questioned whether Trump actually would be available to testify in court as a sitting president..." (sounds like Trump is finding excuses not to go?)
"....questioned whether Trump actually would be available to testify in court as a sitting president. He said never has there been a case in the history of the United States in which a president had to come into court to testify in a trial as a defendant...." (all previous presidential candidates showed their taxes and it didn't bother him to break that tradition)
"....Petrocelli said Trump wants to be vindicated in this case and that it would be to his disadvantage to not attend the trial in person...."

ReplyDeleteObamas skip traditional first couples photo with the Trumps
By Jackie Salo November 10, 2016
The Obamas may have been cordial hosts to the Trumps at the White House on Thursday, but they skipped one long-standing tradition for current and future first couples.
There is a customary photo-op of the couples outside the south entrance of the White House, which the president and his wife appeared to have canceled, according to the Wall Street Journal.
After the 2008 election, President Barack Obama and the first lady stood for photos with President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush at the White House....
http://nypost.com/2016/11/10/obamas-skip-traditional-first-couples-photo-with-the-trumps/
I was so glad not to see any pics today other than the one of BO and Trump sitting and the one of MO and Melania. No way in hell should the Obamas have had to welcome those two with handshakes and possibly air kisses and hugs. MO knows Trump is an assaulter of women--why should any woman have to be in physical contact with him! And she stood up for her man. No way, after what Trump did to her husband, and also her whole family, with the birtherism crap would she put up with giving that asshole the traditional welcome. I think she laid down the law when she and BO were talking about how they were going to handle the visit. I think they then let Trump know that they were not going the traditional route and Trump knew he'd better not have cameras there.
DeleteYep. No way should they have to be in photos welcoming that trash. When they leave the office, I hope they can get out of contact/photos then.
DeleteMelania's clothed-photo fee might have stuck in their craw.
DeleteI signed this petition begging the Electoral College to Make Hillary Clinton President on December 19

Barack and Michelle Obama Did Not Cancel First Couples' Photo Op With Donald and Melania Trump
ReplyDeleteUPDATE, 4:10 p.m. ET: President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama did not cancel a first couples' photo op with President-elect Donald Trump and soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirms.
Earnest denied a report published by the Wall Street Journal during a press conference held hours after Barack and Donald had a Thursday, November 7, meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C. Earnest told reporters that the first couples' photo was “lower in priority” than the photo op of Barack and Donald inside the Oval Officesked if the photo didn't happen because of Michelle, Earnest replied: “Absolutely not. In fact, I'm not aware the first lady's office was consulted about the press arrangements about today.”

The next several years are going to be rough for us Progressives Gryph. Keep your head up, you tried to raise the alarm and that's all you can do. Our time will come, so keep on hammering those mouth breathing GOP'ers.
ReplyDeleteAn ironic tweet from Drumpf when Obama was elected:

We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
He is not my president! Thank God all these old things he's said can be pulled up - he twists and turns like no other and will be a horrid POTUS!
DeleteWhen his bait-and-switch on his supporters becomes clear, I hope said supporters drag him out of the White House and hang him upside down like they did Mussolini.
ReplyDeleteI think major harm will come to Trump. He's been too nasty and said such horrid things for the past year.
DeleteI'm sure they are putting at least ten security folks around him. Hope they will kiss & tell when their jobs are over! Bet Trump will be an ass to handle. His being POTUS is NOT going to be fun for him - he doesn't like being controlled told what to do! This new path he is on is going to drive him friggin' nuts and it'll be enjoyable to watch!
In Russia, President Putin's spokesman said Mr Trump and Mr Putin were "very much alike" in how they see the world.
ReplyDeleteDmitry Peskov said Russian experts had been in contact with some members of Mr Trump's staff during the campaign.
Question: When do we change United States of America to South Russia?
Been a long run with you, G. I'd stay on but I can't deal with the trolls anymore, and you don't have a system to deal with them yourself. You're a smart, authentic guy, and I've enjoyed coming here just about every day for 8 years. But I've had it. Ciao.
ReplyDeleteTOOTLES, Buddy! Don't let the door hit you in the ass!
DeleteLikewise. Enough already.
DeleteThis just made me feel a little better!:

Trump's got his twitter back.
ReplyDeleteWill he offend or frighten enough of the electors to abandon him and put someone else in the Oval Office? It will be a Republican so not much of an improvement.

Stephen Colbert did the most awesome imitation of Sarah Palin tonight while going through Trump's cabinet possibilities.
ReplyDeleteHe is crucifying Trump.
I expect this will go on for four more years.
Hope Trump has a thick skin. Uh. Oooops.
I Love Stephen Colbert. He wet to the washington correspondents dinner and mocked w to his face. I support his standing up to tRump but I fear for his safety.tRump supporters are insane and stupid and dangerous.
DeleteOver half of white people stand up with all nationalities together. Hundreds of years white people fought for all people. It is only this ignorant bunch that have lit a fire of hate and racism.
ReplyDeleteAnd so trump and Russian associates figure americans will roll over, immune trump from charges, immune hundreds of criminals of charges, rip apart of constitution and country for trump. Really? Impeachment before 1/20. You cannot win the USA presidency by espionage. Wake up Americans.
ReplyDeleteSo a site called the daily stormer, a white supremacy site claims to constantly tweet certain democrat Hilary supporters until they commit suicide. PROSECUTORS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OF THE COUNTRY must arrest and convict these dangerous criminal NOW. Today.
ReplyDeleteFacebook, tweeter, google, windows, Microsoft, pc matic, Verizon, Samsung, banks, credit unions, county websites, and more are all infected with bots, hackers, criminals tapping into your personal stuff and using it against you and your contacts. Pay attention and speak up. Fight.
ReplyDeleteIf you read about some of the things that Trump is planning to do as 'not my president', and they do not allow you to make comments. They've blocked them all off which I find very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt appears they are all afraid of the negative commentary they will hear. Interesting! How much more will be shut down because of the nasty human being, Donald Trump? He does not believe in free press - just watch how he'll shut out all negative press about himself! His ego will not tolerate it!
He's already making comments like he did when he ran for office. He's not changed one fucking bit and won't! Beware America!
Interest rates are going to rise and the national news has announced it stating it's because of the growth that Trump wants to do! I call bullshit!
The media is already covering Trump's ass!
He's going to screw Americans - just watch!
Atrump supporter hacked democratic Underground and it has been off line for 3 days. They even managed to get personal info tho not their donation info .They had to warn their supporters.
DeleteUnfortunately, "in a few months, when the white male and female Trump supporters begin to realize that his election is not going to bring them Valhalla right by the week after Trump's inauguration, the rest of us are going to know that our greatest nightmare of the past year and a half has literally come true.

I know and I weep...I weep...
DeleteWe Democrats need to do some serious reflection on our loss. I believe we are the reason for the loss.
ReplyDeleteFor most of my life, the Democratic Party was the go to party for blue collar workers. The Drywaller, the roofer, the plumber, the auto worker, etc...
The Democratic Party didn't even try to keep these voters. The Party seemed more interested in the college educated than the working man. Hillary campaigned on helping young folks with college. Well, how about those who don't go to college?
The backbone of the Democratic Party was once blue collar workers. And now people are blaming them for Trump. Democrats failed this group of people.
They voted for Trump and now Trump is the President Elect.
Non college educated white males left the Democrats because the Democrats didn't give them any reason to stay.
It's a good time to contribute to the Southern Poverty Law Center which is about the only group in the US that tracks hate speech and violent white supremacist groups. They take them to court when they can.
