Above the fold
Hanging Around
Do you remember Chad? Unknown prior, he hung around in the year 2000 from Election Day till December 13th.
Democratic nominee Al Gore, who had already invented the internet, insisted that he remain on the final stage until then as the presidential election results were in deep dispute deep in the state of Florida.
It was his right. And, for a while, it was the right thing to do. It’s better to wait and get it right than to rush and get it wrong.
George Bush waited in the wings.
Twenty years later President Trump has the very same rights. Some recounts are available to him due to the close results in that particular state. Some he’ll need to prove the need by providing lower, then higher, courts of law substantive evidence that Biden’s folks have been hiding ballots of his or stuffing ballots of their like.
Joe Biden is waiting in the wings.
It’s highly likely that at some time in the future the fighter that never quits will hear the final bell ring and realize that the gloves need to be cut off of his bruised hands.
When exactly will the right thing to do outweigh his right to dispute the results? Time will tell. It always does. You see Time’s father, named Father Time is undefeated.
Donald J Trump was elected to be the anti-Washington DC President. He filled that part of his role admirably. And, Lord knows he did it his way.
He burned bridges on the way in, and he’s going to burn them on the way out. We loved him lighting the fire on the way in. We may or may not like it as much on the way out.
Hell hath no fury like an orange-faced President scorned.
Trump never loses. Ask him. We’re going to win, win, win he said over, and over, and over again. He tweeted out Saturday that he got more popular votes (71 million and still counting) in 2020 than any other standing President. He even wins in his mind when he loses. It’s a character trait that is admirable until it isn’t.
Chad had no dog in the fight. Chad was the dog in the fight. He hung around for a while by a paper-thin thread until he didn’t.
Trump, too, is the dog in the fight. And, there is a lot of fight left in the dog.
You hired him because of that. And, he’s still doing his job he thinks.
Meanwhile, China is laughing all the way to the bank.
Till then.
Comment section
Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.
I guess there are two ways to proceed when you think a misjustice has been done. One is through the courts. The legal route. The other is through looting, rioting, destroying, physically threatening, etc. The illegal route. I will always side with the peaceful, legal route even if I disagree with the argument. Unfortunately I feel as though I am in the minority at times with this simple minded approach.
You’re not in the minority. The minority is the very few that actually carried out the illegal protesting. They’re just pawns in the chess match. The worst are the ones that know better and condone or fund it. They’re the kings and queens, or at least they want to be.
