Richard Fowler: Trump’s defeat is now final, bringing a disastrous presidency to a welcome end
"disastrous presidency?"
Oh... and when all the naysayers said there's no way in hell we're gonna have a vaccine by the end of the year...
"It'll take a miracle" they said...
Well guess what we got a vaccine!
Wonder if this dork could dig up 125 of Barry's accomplishments?
Every time I see this faggot I want to knock him into next week! Twenty-five years from now I'll be dead. But I can guarantee you this. Trump will be rated light years ahead of... ‘The 4th best of all time’!
Even Jimmy knows it:
---------------------------
The former reality TV performer who is now president of the United States needs to face reality: his show has been canceled by the American people after four chaotic seasons.
Every election has one winner and one or more losers, and the Electoral College made it official Monday: former Vice President Joe Biden is the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election and President Trump is the loser.
Biden is now indisputably president-elect and will become president at noon Jan. 20. He received 306 electoral votes, far more than the 270 needed to become our next president. Trump received only 232 electoral votes.
On top of that, Biden won the popular vote in a landslide, capturing almost 81.3 million votes (more than any presidential candidate in U.S. history) to 74.2 million for Trump.
And no, Biden’s victory was not the result of fraud, as Trump falsely claims.
Christopher Krebs, the Republican appointed by Trump to head the federal agency overseeing election security, issued a statement Nov. 12 with state and local election officials calling the election “the most secure in American history.” Trump fired Krebs Nov. 17 for telling the truth.
Even Attorney General William Barr said Dec. 1 that the Justice Department hasn’t found voting fraud “on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” Trump tweeted Monday night that Barr will leave his post as attorney general Dec. 23.
And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., acknowledge the obvious Tuesday when he said on the Senate floor: “The Electoral College has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden.”
Look, we all know that no one likes to lose. But no matter how upset Trump is, no matter how much nonsense he tweets, no matter how many people he fires, and no matter how many frivolous lawsuits he files, he is headed out the door. His defeat will bring a welcome end to a disastrous presidency that waged war on the Constitution, our right to vote, freedom of the press, many other fundamental American rights, and the truth itself.
The results of the Electoral College vote shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Joe Biden represents the best of America, has advanced moderate and effective policies, and has decades of government experience. He is a uniter, not a divider like Trump. He bases decisions on facts, and will take the job of being president seriously.
Biden rose from modest means, got knocked down again and again in personal tragedies and in failed presidential campaigns, but kept getting up and moving forward. He takes responsibility for past mistakes and doesn’t lash out at opponents with hatred and lies. Quite a change from Trump.
Beyond his overwhelming vote tally, Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris of California — who will become the first woman, first Black person and first person of South Asian ancestry to serve as vice president on Jan. 20 —- created a winning coalition underpinned by Black women.
This successful partnership has broad support among people of color, White college-educated women and men, and working families.
The Biden-Harris ticket drew strong support from voters who rejected the lies, misinformation, and mismanagement of President Trump. They voted for Biden — despite his imperfections — because he acknowledged their pain and represented a potential return to normalcy.
For more than six weeks, the American people have witnessed a desperate president try to hold onto power by any means necessary. Sadly, far too many elected officials in the Republican Party have decided to join him on this dead-end train. These leaders, the president, and his supporters have been relentless in their attempts to disparage our voting system, along with our democracy and the brave Americans who work every day to protect it.
Now what should surprise and encourage us is the growing number of former Trump allies and Republican leaders willing to finally stand up for their party, the country and the facts. These leaders, including McConnell, have decided to accept the results of this election because they know that we must be humbled by the power of the American voter and respect the peaceful transfer of power — no matter what our party. These leaders have a keen sense of what it means to be an American.
For more than six weeks, the American people have witnessed a desperate president try to hold onto power by any means necessary.
Regrettably for Trump, his presidency and legacy will include his unwillingness to acknowledge the will and power of the American people. His unprecedented refusal to accept his election loss is a disservice to himself, his family, his party, his supporters, and our country.
Trump is the nightmare our Founding Fathers feared. Thankfully, they approved a Constitution with firm protections for our democracy that have prevented anyone from seizing power in defiance of voters.
Trump's willingness to cast doubt on our election system and call it fraudulent simply because he lost the election has resulted in millions of Americans losing faith in our democracy and its ability to bring us together. This disgraceful behavior will go down in history as a permanent stain on Trump’s record in office.
As sad as Trump's behavior is, we as a nation must turn the page and start to move forward to write a new chapter of American history. The vote by the Electoral College takes us one step closer.
Let’s face it, this new chapter has great challenges. Not only are we struggling with the worst of COVID-19, which is now killing more than 3,000 Americans a day. We are also dealing with all that is left in the wake of this horrific pandemic: a broken economy, a divided nation and rampant racial animus.
Trump will get praise for early investment in a coronavirus vaccine development and a distribution plan labeled "Operation Warp Speed." To his credit, Americans began getting vaccinated Monday.
But Trump admitted downplaying the severity of the coronavirus pandemic that has so far killed over 300,000 Americans. And he has held numerous campaign and White House events that ignored social distancing and mask guidelines issued by his own administration, and seldom wore a mask himself — even after recovering from his own hospitalization with COVID-19.
The incoming Biden administration will have the task of distributing coronavirus vaccines to every American who wants to be inoculated, and will have to convince the vast majority of us that the vaccines are safe the effective.
And the Biden-Harris team will also have to untangle the web of misinformation, denialism and bad policy that has caused record-setting daily COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and deaths.
In addition, during his presidency Biden will be tasked with rebuilding the economy — a major coronavirus victim. The pandemic has preyed particularly hard on the economically vulnerable, who work in jobs that can’t be done sitting at home in front of a computer. People who work in restaurants, supermarkets, food-processing plants, factories and retail stores have borne a disproportionate share of infections and job losses due to the pandemic. And people of color are disproportionately represented among these groups.
With more small businesses shutting their doors and evictions at an all-time high, COVID-19 has knocked millions of Americans off their feet. It will be left to Biden and the new Congress to help them and, in doing so, uplift our economy.
To some, Biden will be seen as an illegitimate president. Those individuals, usually the loudest voices in the room, represent the minority in this country. President-elect Biden has committed to building a government that looks and feels like America. If he holds to that, he has an opportunity to make this country better.
Through good governance, Biden can work with local public health agencies to eradicate the deadly coronavirus and rebuild our economy. Through good management, he can restore faith in democracy. Most importantly, the partisan bickering can end, and Americans can begin the hard work of overcoming the divisions that misguided leaders have used to polarize us.
No one can force President Trump to ever accept defeat and admit that Biden won fair and square, even though every other losing presidential candidate in American history has conceded and called on supporters to back the newly elected president.
But Trump should swallow his pride and do so, if he wants to live up to his own slogan: America First.

Farrakhan dismisses coronavirus vaccine as 'toxic waste'
We all know that C-19 is racist. Or so we've been told. We have seen how it disproportionately goes after black people rather than white. I for one personally saw it assaulting boxes of Aunt Jemima pancake mix in my local supermarket. Now because of Trump and Operation Warp Speed we are blessed with a vaccine the naysayers said was impossible to develop by the end of the year. Some said it would be a miracle. Well, the miracle happened.
Along comes Louis 'virologist' Walcott aka Louis Farrakhan. A known asshole who never fails to disappoint. Check it out!
--------------------------
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan discouraged viewers from getting the coronavirus vaccine, implying that it was part of a government conspiracy meant to lower the Black population.
Addressing viewers at a virtual event for the National Afrikan/Black Leadership Summit, Farrakhan said Black people are “the most prone to the COVID virus,” while also likening the vaccine to harmful water in Flint, Mich.
“Now we have to survive because the death plan is in motion,” Farrakhan said. He claimed that Black people suffer from coronavirus more than others because of underlying conditions like heart failure, diabetes and obesity – conditions that he said are prevalent in the Black community because “they send the worst food” to ZIP codes with large Black populations.
They get the same fucking food as everybody else. Nobody forced them to eat it.
Another crock of shit... from a POS.
Farrakhan went on to suggest that what people really need to combat COVID-19 is vitamin D from sunlight, not a vaccine.
“Do you know why the virus is not getting the Caribbean like it’s hitting America and Europe?” he asked. “Because we live in the sun.”
Meanwhile, blacks with brains get the shot.
The largest vaccination campaign in US history is now underway with an intensive care nurse Sandra Lindsay in New York among the first to receive a COVID-19 shot this morning as the death toll from the virus neared 300,000
According to data reported by Reuters, Latin America and the Caribbean have had 14,141,000 reported COVID-19 infections and 473,000 deaths, with approximately 1 million new infections every 13 days. Haiti recently reported its highest number of new cases since July.
Speaking of Haiti he must be hanging around Danny 'seismologist' Glover. If you recall he was the moron who said Haiti's earthquake was caused by climate change.
Farrakhan went on to claim that the vaccine was part of a plot by the devil.
“Now they’re getting us ready for the vaccine. Brothers and sisters, do you believe in Satan?” he asked before adding, “How could you allow him to stick a needle into you saying he’s helping you?”
How many more people are going to die thanks to this imbecile?
The Nation of Islam leader then alluded to a proposal from former Democratic presidential candidate John Delaney to offer $1,500 stimulus checks for people who get vaccinated. He appeared to liken plans for mass distribution of the vaccine to contaminated water in Flint.
“They gave free shots of toxic waste. Free,” he said before claiming that “the same lead that’s in the water in Flint is in the water in Detroit is in the water in Cleveland, you watch it’s in the water in Chicago.”
Farrakhan previously said in a July 4 address that the vaccine was part of a plan from Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill and Melinda Gates to “depopulate the Earth.”
Farrakhan then used a slur against White people while dismissing the notion of employers and schools not allowing people to return without receiving the vaccination first.
“What a blessing. Tell the cracker, ‘I ain’t coming to your school,'” he said. “When you tell me I can’t go to your school I open up a school of my own.”

Think it's time for another Emmy...
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Accused of Sexual Harassment by Ex-AideSpokeswoman for governor denies allegations:
‘There is simply no truth to these claims.’

A former economic-development aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and current candidate for Manhattan borough president accused the Democratic governor Sunday of sexually harassing her while she worked for the state.
Lindsey Boylan, 36 years old, said in posts on Twitter that Mr. Cuomo “harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation?”
Ms. Boylan didn’t return messages asking her to elaborate on her Twitter posts. She later tweeted that she wouldn’t be talking to reporters about the matter.

Caitlin Girouard, a spokeswoman for the governor, denied the allegations.
“There is simply no truth to these claims,” she said.
A state official said Ms. Boylan didn’t file any formal complaints against the governor while she was a state employee.
Ms. Boylan worked at the state’s economic-development authority, Empire State Development, from 2015 to 2018, according to her LinkedIn profile. She then moved into the Executive Chamber—Mr. Cuomo’s dedicated staff—and served from March 2018 to October 2018.
Mr. Cuomo’s national profile has increased based on his management of the coronavirus pandemic in New York. He is being considered for appointment as U.S. attorney general by President-elect Joe Biden, people familiar with the matter have said.
In the midst of the #MeToo movement, Mr. Cuomo signed legislation in 2018 that, among other things, extended state workplace harassment protections to contractors, banned mandatory arbitration for harassment victims and required private employers to develop anti-harassment policies and conduct annual training.
In a Democratic primary challenge, the actress Cynthia Nixon accused Mr. Cuomo that year of being slow to act on complaints of sexual harassment against allies. Ms. Nixon pointed to Sam Hoyt, a former state Assembly member whom Mr. Cuomo hired as an economic-development adviser.
A former state employee, Lisa Marie Cater, said in a 2017 lawsuit that she was forcefully kissed and groped by Mr. Hoyt, who helped her get a job at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Ms. Cater said in the lawsuit that Mr. Cuomo and his advisers had ignored her complaints.
