TRUMP – YOU ARE FIRED!

ByMartyn Bradbury

FINALLY!

Na Na

Na Na Na Na

Hey Hey Hey

GOODBYE!

CNN, whose coverage has been excellent and beautiful, have called Pennsylvania for Biden and while we reel in shock at Trump’s growth of vote and his expansion of support with black males, hispanics and the uneducated, while we look at the deadlock in the Senate and the Republican gains in the House, while we try to calculate the damage Trump’s Presidency has caused – at least, right now we can gleefully declare a resounding scream of joy that this fucking orange tumour of a human being has been fired by the people of America!

Thank you America!

His hatred, his spite, his bewildering malice, his obscene revenge fantasies – it’s fucking over!

His making black people, Muslim people, women, children fearful for their day to day existence was an abomination of power and a dark moment when America could have plunged into a Crypto-fascist state.

His disgraceful Tax cuts for corporations, his rolling back of climate change legislation, his horrific Pandemic incompetence – all of it goes with him into the trash bin of history.

His Qanon conspiracy theories, his anti science, his gleeful ignorance.

It. Is. All. Fucking. Over!

It feels like we have all been in a  collective abusive relationship with this narcissistic freak.

This is a moment of genuine global relief, that Trump’s malevolence has not been rewarded and celebrated by the majority, but has been repudiated by people of good conscience.

Let’s be clear – this spontaneous explosion of euphoric joy that is erupting on the streets of America right now is because we are seeing the beginning of the end of Trump – no one is celebrating Biden with his tepid nothingness policies that will do little to heal the damage caused – but criticism of Democratic incrementalism is far less important right now than the demise of the Trump nightmare.

We have closed a bleak chapter brothers and sisters and I am so much more emotionally relieved than I realised. We all carried a toxic wound while he was in power, it feels like all the pus is being squeezed from our souls by him losing.

It is so difficult to pin point one moment that managed to sum up his hostile venom, but the revelation that over 500 children separated at the border couldn’t find their parents managed to represent Trump’s animosity best.

Fuck Trump.

I don’t blame his supporters, I understand they have been failed by the two party system, they have been failed by neoliberalism, they have been failed by an America that rewards the corporates first, they are lost, they are frightened and they are easily led. For them we must extend the hand of fellowship and basic human decency.

But for the vile creature who twisted their resentment and hijacked their pain, fuck him.

The only thing you can say that is positive about Trump is that he didn’t start any American war. That’s it.

Trump needs to go now, and let the rest of the planet heal.

PS – We would all like to apologise in advance for the country Biden starts bombing after his inauguration in January.

  2. For the first time in US history, a woman is voted in as US Vice President. (Why has it taken them so long?)

  5. Bernie said this a month ago, and it is even more relevant now:

    “We cannot go back to business as usual after we defeat Trump. We cannot and must not go back to business as usual,” the Vermont senator said during the virtual event Monday night. “Progressives today understand that if we’re gonna stand up for working families, stand up for the poor, stand up for the children, stand up for the elderly and the disabled, stand up for the minority communities that are under attack all across this country.”

    Noting that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and economic collapse deepened wealth and income inequities that existed prior to the crisis—which has been characterized as the most unequal recession in modern U.S. history—Sanders urged Democrats to embrace a bold alternative vision and take action to fundamentally “transform our country.”

    “We must have the courage to think big, not small,” said Sanders, “and have the courage to envisage a very different kind of America and a very different set of national priorities.” Calling Biden Victory is Step One, Sanders Says

    See and hear Bernie saying this and more, at this link: Bernie Sanders Tweet 3rd Nov 2020

    1. I’m a bit disappointed if this is all Bernie had to say because without any specific plan it is empty rhetoric.
      I don’t see any suggestion being made anywhere that biden or harris have any plans for this kind of transformation.

      1. Bernie was either bought off or threatened. His switcharoo was just to sudden and complete.
        If Bernie was the Dem candidate Trump would have been thrashed.
        Trump and Biden as alternatives leave many with no one to vote for. Both are/were bad news for the world.

        But the Corporate power and money had their way, as its them who rule the USA and Western world. The politicians have but little power. In the USA they are bought.

      2. Bernie is speaking to progressives, to “millions of progressive, grassroots activists”, as he makes clear in his Thank You video tweet today.

        He is calling for a “People’s agenda” and a “Powerful movement that demands that that agenda be implemented”. He has inspired a movement before, and he is calling for such a movement again now. He has the ability to inspire and to motivate, in a way that mere rhetoric could never do.

        1. Bernie was looking great this time in the early primaries until the first one that was an “open ” primary;meaning that anyone Democrat or republican could vote for the Democrat candidate. Many Republicans proudly claimed to have voted for Biden in that primary for the candidate they would prefer Trump to be in opposition to. Then covid turned the primaries into a circus.
          There are some peculiar and not very democratic characteristics of the American system of democracy.

  7. “Progressives Made Trump’s Defeat Possible. Now It’s Time to Challenge Biden and Other Corporate Democrats.” — Norman Solomon Its time to challenge Biden and other

    Excerpt:
    Without a strong progressive program as a rudder, the Biden presidency will be awash in much the same old rhetorical froth and status-quo positions that have so often caused Democratic incumbents to founder, bringing on GOP electoral triumphs.

    The evident defeat of Donald Trump would not have been possible without the grassroots activism and hard work of countless progressives. Now, on vital issues—climate, healthcare, income inequality, militarism, the prison-industrial complex, corporate power and so much more—it’s time to engage with the battle that must happen inside the Democratic Party. Full article at the link.

  10. Trump supporters like All Black supporters.

    Head in sand.

    Game lost.

    Move on.

    What’s for zavtrak?

  11. The U.S. has in the past had the audacity to question the election integrity of other countries. After this farce they will not dare. In a way I wish Trump had won so that at least the other half of their party, the Democrats, would have started to unravel in the next four years. One more term of Trump may have exposed the Dems once and for all and brought about change. Instead, like a care home resident who stops taking their antibiotics prematurely, the infection is able to survive and grow even stronger. The contagion of war mongering neoliberalism lives. And this is what the American public were forced to vote for, sleepy weepy joe, who some have described as quirky while others have called a bumbling, senile serial abuser who condemned millions to prison or death. He is Obama without the charm or manipulative skill, and twenty years older. The less said about his soulless, phony deputy, who no-one voted for, the better (see progressives such as Jimmy Dore for a full briefing on this psychopath). Expect the media, corporates, pseudo celebrities and government’s to fall in line and gush over these wax figures for months or until reality hits, whichever comes first.
    So go to him Jacinda, Joe exposed in full view, let him drape his arms over your shoulders and draw you in close, let him caress your neck with his runny nose as he sniffs your hair hungrily, and feel his lips touch your ear lobes as he gently whispers “Jacinda, my wife, let’s start another war”.

  12. Why the cheering? What makes you think the Democrats are any different to the Republicans? For example, both were in agreement on sanctions for Venezuela because it wont let the US plunder its natural resources. Sanctions that threaten to potentially kill an estimated 40000 and up to 100,000 people in that country.

    The last Democratic government started far more wars than this one too.

    So hooray for what exactly?

  14. Watch how the Corona Virus hype dissipates once Bien takes office. Because let’s be honest, Biden is going to do exactly the same things (i.e. next to nothing) that Trump did, but when Biden does nothing the MSM will be cheering on how the virus magically disappeared due to Biden’s expert leadership.

  15. One bright spark for the future: the US now have their own ‘Green Chloe’.
    Democratic state Rep. Chloe Maxmin, a progressive champion who ran on the promise of a Green New Deal and offering a “politics as public service” in a strong GOP district, is the new Senator for the State of Maine.

    Two years after winning a seat in the state House of Representatives, representing conservative, rural District 88, Maxmin secured a win in her challenge to state Senate Republican Leader Dana Dow. As in her first campaign for elected office, Maxmin won over voters in state Senate District 13… by engaging deeply with her community and offering a platform focused on climate action, investing in universal broadband access, and treating healthcare as a human right.

  17. Probably the best Bomber I have ever read !

    I loved the raw cathartic emotion ,entwined with lashings of genuine relief .

  18. I think I would hold off on that “resounding scream of joy” until we find out what sort of presidency the Biden variety turns out to be.

    1. Well we won’t know that until the end of the 4 years, what we do know is that Trump was racist, divisive and narcissistic. Now that he is gone the resounding screaming of joy can be heard USA wide.

  19. For the US election to be called all 50 governors must submit their certifications + Congress must vote to accept them. Although any other outcome is highly improbable, rules are rules.

    Last I checked we have four States remaining.

  20. His QAnon conspiracy theories

    The QAnon conspiracy theorists are not gone, however. Several newly elected Republican House Reps are closely affiliated with these, according to this article in Daily Kos.

    One of these is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
    But it’s not just that Greene is a QAnon promoter. That bit is only part of an extensive list of conspiracy claims Greene has adopted. Greene has made numerous racist videos and rants condemning Black and Hispanic Americans, Muslims, and Soros. She speculated that the Charlottesville rally of white nationalists that resulted in violence and the death of one counter-protester was an “inside job” meant to discredit the right, speculated that the Las Vegas mass shooting was staged by the government in order to justify new gun laws, and promoted “Pizzagate”…

    Others of her activities are described at the link, including this:
    In September, Greene posted to Facebook an image of herself holding an assault rifle next to pictures of Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar, declaring that “Hate America leftists want to take this country down,” and that “Americans must take our country back.” (There’s more, but it gets too depressing to repeat it.) Ms Greene’s win of a new seat in the House is also covered at this Guardian link .

  21. According to one cnn reporter Kushner has finally translated the writing on the wall and is trying to convey that to his pa-in-law.

    1. They got that wrong. “US news website Axios is now contradicting an earlier report by CNN that Jared Kushner had advised Trump to concede.

      “The Axios report quoted an unidentified source “close to Jared Kushner” as saying he has advised Trump to pursue “legal remedies” to the election.” From today’s Guardian live updates at 17 15.

  23. Trump still has a valid ‘legalistic’ path to power.

    The Atlantic maps out the route:

    https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424/

    The good news is that there has not (as yet) been an “Orange Revolution–style mass protest sustained over weeks”.

    The spontaneous outpourings of mass joy on the streets of America at Trump’s electoral defeat has hosed down the possibility of an ” Orange Revolution–style mass protest sustained over weeks.”

    Trump may still issue a call (by tweet) for mass protests of support, but will his call be answered by his followers? My feeling is no.
    Why?
    Because Joy trumps hate.

    The people really will decide.

    1. Will the Republican Party support Trump’s determination to subvert the election result?

      As the ‘Atlantic’ road map for Trump to steal the election alludes to, mass rallies of his supporters will be key to building the movement that will pressure the Republican Party to support Trump’s legal manipulations.

      But will the ‘folks’ turn up?

      Trump plans to hold a series of large-scale rallies focused on his “ongoing litigation” as he files lawsuits in a number of states alleging, without evidence, that fraudulent voting swung the results of last week’s election.
