Dear WYPIPO #WeTriedToTellYa is Code for Listen to Black People

And before the "not all white people" whine cranks up if you listened to black people this post is NOT directed at you.

So, how is that peaceful transfer of power thingy working out for you?  Is America Great Again yet?

#WeTiredToTellYa there was something rotten in the cotton in 2016 but did you listen?  Nope.  Because we can't tell ya'll nothin' which means you're incapable of learning or willfully ignorant.

#WeTriedToTellYa you were putting evil in the White House.  We knew what we had to lose.

#WeTriedToTellYa how ignorant Trump and his people are.

#WeTriedToTellYa Russians Targeted Blacks More Than Any Other Group In 2016 Disinformation Campaign -

#WeTriedToTellYa Elections have consequences

It's the white male-dominated media.  That's why the candidate with the most votes lost the Electoral College Congress certified.

Happy Now?

President Hillary Clinton would have been on top of #CVID19 #WeTriedToTellYa

Clinton would have listened to the scientists. Clinton would have been focused on transmission rates, test kits, and the production of necessary equipment.

The Trump administration was told in January that coronavirus was likely to become a pandemic.

They refused to act for fear of spooking the markets, losing weeks of time to prepare that we won’t get back. https://t.co/By195ltXMt

"Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee because of Black voters not in spite of Black voters"

Life on the Democratic Party Plantation Cue in the theme song to Roots

Thanks to South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden carried all of the red, voter suppressing, Confederate, Slave States on Super Tuesday when African American voices are finally heard.  Candidate Biden didn't have to spend not one dime or make one promise to African American voters.  All it took was the word of one powerful Black man. 

A Trump presidency that’s been disastrous for America has been catastrophic for Black people.
From spikes in hate crimes to Trump’s racism, Black communities have suffered mightily under this administration. Certainly, more progressive policies pitched by Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren would benefit Black people, yet there is also a sense that this nation has no real appetite to foster economic or racial equality espoused by candidates on the left.
“I like [Warren and Sanders], but I don’t see them winning, because I think they’re too progressive for a lot of white people in his country,” said Marsha, a jewelry maker who offered political analysis along with her deft recommendations for good barbecue joints in Charleston. “I don’t think white people generally vote in a way that will benefit them if it also benefits Black people.”

So now we know for sure the power of the black vote is used to benefit white people.  And all Black voters can do is vote blue no matter who and HOPE and pray white people will decide to treat us as equals someday. 

My read of the South Carolina vote is that black people know exactly what they’re doing, and why. Joe Biden is the indictment older black folks have issued against white America. His support is buttressed by chunks of the black community who have determined that most white people are selfish and cannot be trusted to do the right thing. They believe if you make white people choose between their money and their morality—between candidates like Sanders or Elizabeth Warren (who somehow finished fifth in South Carolina, behind Pete Buttigieg) and candidates like Biden and Michael Bloomberg—they will choose their money every time and twice on Election Day.

EYE HOPE the candidate with the most votes wins this time. 

It's not about "winning the Election, it's about "winning" the Electoral College Congress Certifies

We can vote until the cows come home but the Electoral College makes sure the candidate with the most votes loses.



It's the Electoral College.

About That "Draining the Swamp" Thingy....

Porter - accused of domestic abuse
Lewandowski- arrested for battery
Manafort- indicted for financial crimes
Gorka- wanted for arrest in Hungary or somewhere
Flynn- guilty of lying to FBI
Bannon- guilty of breathing
Trump didn’t drain the swamp.
Trump is a swamp.

B-But her damn emails....

Former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) says "there was not a day that went by that I did not have a stack of red folders on my desk marked 'Top-Secret' that went to the president" about his time as staff secretary to Bill Clinton.

Rob Porter isn't the only one in @realDonaldTrump's inner circle who has abused women. He surrounds himself with men like him.

 "I made choices and just have to live with them,” Manigault said. When asked if she would vote for Trump again, she said “God no, never. In a million years, never.”

It's not just Rob Porter. 13 months in, dozens at White House lack permanent security clearances, including Jared Kushner. W/@DevlinBarrett & @mattzap:  https://t.co/woBD7LD0e2

They literally ran an entire campaign about their opponent’s supposedly sloppy handling of classified material.

If we could turn back time, could we, would we?

According to author Micheal Wolffe,  power was peacefully transferred to a man who didn't think he was going to win, (which technically he didn't) and his allies believe is incompetent.

For the rest of our lives, Republicans will be associated with the disaster of Donald Trump. They hitched their wagon to him in spite of widespread awareness of his instability, sexual abuse & harassment, lack of integrity, etc

A year later and it's still shocking they chose him

— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) January 5, 2018

EYE don't know why everyone is acting all shocked and surprised by the #FireAndFury revelations because #WeTriedToTellYa but did you listen?  Nope.

#CanYouHearUsNow?

This is who/what they really are.

From the very first day they’ve shown us who they are and how they work:
‪Deporting immigrants.
Banning Muslims.Silencing the Free Press.Discarding Environmental protections.Cutting public school funding.Crippling the Arts.Removing healthcare.Deleting dreamers.Excluding Transgender people from the military.

Happy New Year.

"We never thought Trump would be this much of a petulant brat." #morningjoe Really?

A standing Republican ovation for Joe Biden as he gavels down an electoral vote challenge saying, "it is over"

— Scott Detrow (@scottdetrow) January 6, 2017

All EYE can do is shake my head and say #WeTriedToTellYa at the massive hand-wringing, crocodile tears and buyers remorse of Trump's white male dominated media enablers.  In the words of former Vice President Joe Biden " It is over."

In a matter of weeks, President Trump has taken dozens of real-life steps that, if they are not reversed, will rip families apart, foul rivers and pollute the air, intensify the calamitous effects of climate change and profoundly weaken the system of American public education for all.
His attempt to de-insure millions of people who had finally received healthcare coverage and, along the way, enact a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich has been put on hold for the moment. But he is proceeding with his efforts to defang the government’s regulatory agencies and bloat the Pentagon’s budget even as he supposedly retreats from the global stage.
These are immensely dangerous developments which threaten to weaken this country’s moral standing in the world, imperil the planet and reverse years of slow but steady gains by marginalized or impoverished Americans. But, chilling as they are, these radically wrongheaded policy choices are not, in fact, the most frightening aspect of the Trump presidency"

  "It's too late to turn back now" 

What is most worrisome about Trump is Trump himself. He is a man so unpredictable, so reckless, so petulant, so full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation. His obsession with his own fame, wealth and success, his determination to vanquish enemies real and imagined, his craving for adulation — these traits were, of course, at the very heart of his scorched-earth outsider campaign; indeed, some of them helped get him elected. But in a real presidency in which he wields unimaginable power, they are nothing short of disastrous.........Whether it is the easily disprovable boasts about the size of his inauguration crowd or his unsubstantiated assertion that Barack Obama bugged Trump Tower, the new president regularly muddies the waters of fact and fiction. It’s difficult to know whether he actually can’t distinguish the real from the unreal — or whether he intentionally conflates the two to befuddle voters, deflect criticism and undermine the very idea of objective truth. Whatever the explanation, he is encouraging Americans to reject facts, to disrespect science, documents, nonpartisanship and the mainstream media — and instead to simply take positions on the basis of ideology and preconceived notions. This is a recipe for a divided country in which differences grow deeper and rational compromise becomes impossible."

Unintended consequences or karma? 

The travel guide Frommer’s has set the decline in foreign tourism at 6.8 percent for this year while ForwardKeys points out a 6.5 percent decrease in international travel to the United States in the week after Trump attempted his first Muslim ban back in January.
During that same time period, they found that US bound flights from Western Europe went down 14 percent while these flights from the Middle East crashed 38 percent.
To make matters even worse, the Global Business Travel Association has concluded that “45 percent of European business travel professionals say they are less likely to schedule meetings or events in the US.”
These alarming numbers show that Trump is making people reconsider their trips to the US with his harsh “America First” rhetoric. His obsession with immigrants being criminals, his need for a border wall, the Muslim Bans and his anti-refugee stance don’t help soften the hard edges.

This is what happens when the candidate with the most votes loses. 

In the words of the late great Maya Angelo "When people show you who they are.... believe them."

EYE don't want to hear another mumbling word about Trump. #WeTriedToTellYa

Of course, the world is laughing at us.  Of course, Trump's proposed budget is #deplorable.  What did you expect?  Trump told us exactly what he planned to do so why are you acting all shocked and awed he is actually carrying out his campaign promises?  All EYE will say to the hand wringers and the teeth gnashers is you can #KickRocks. 

We tried to stop the train from leaving the station but did you help?  Noooo. You said It is over.   So don't expect me to sign another petition, participate in another protest, or show up at a town hall meeting.  To be honest, EYE am going to have to think long and hard about ever voting again since my vote doesn't seem to count and the candidate with the most votes loses.

It's too late to turn back now.  As usual, Democrats are good at talking the talk and poor at walking the walk.   All we can do now is bend over and take our gang banging like Girlie men. 

EYE don't want to hear a mumbling word about giving Trump a chance or holding him accountable

The train has left the station.

I stand with Representative John Lewis.

“ I believe in forgiveness. I believe in trying to work with people. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be very difficult. I don’t see this president-elect as a legitimate president...

“[W]hen you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something. You cannot afford to be quiet or to be silent. We have to continue to work, continue to speak up and speak out”.

What Representative Maxine Waters said all the darn way all the darn day.

"I don't honor him. I don't respect him, and I don't want to be involved with him."

Thanks for your help and support Senators.  

The College Playoff Foundation declared the University of Alabama National the Football Champs!

Clemson got Trumped

"In accordance with its constitution, the College Football Playoff Foundation declared Alabama the National Champions late last night, after the team led Clemson at the end of three of the four quarters, thus winning the electoral votes of those quarters".

Not

War Damn Eagle

About that peaceful transfer of power thingy......

EYE see democrats  ( and EYE use that term loosely)are in formation calling for "the peaceful transfer of power" to a racist, sexist, fascist, madman because democracy.

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

EYE have returned! "If you are scared then say you are scared"

So my annual mental health break is over and it's time to jump back on the Donkey and ride. EYE hoped the nightmare would be over by now, but that would mean the Electoral College put our country over their politics and refused to select The Trumpster.  EYE guess it's easier for them to pretend this is the #NewNormal because they sure can't handle the truth.  The fate of our democracy is now in the hands of Congress.  Will they, or won't they certify this farce? Time will tell the truth. 

EYE must admit EYE am afraid to blog, but EYE and more afraid not to blog with the media poised to be Trumps personal propaganda machine.  

Thank you, loyal readers, for continuing to read this blog.  Your support continues to amaze and humble me. EYE will continue to be a voice for the voiceless as long as EYE am allowed.

Remember, this is who and what they are"

Here we go again, being told to get over another #rigged election #DejaVoodoAllOverAgain

EYE am sick and tired of President Obama, the white wing media, and other wimpy Democrats telling me to unite behind an unapologetic  bigot!

 Been there.

 Done that.

 Fool me once.

Can't fool me again.

It's NOT going to happen.

EYE am not ready to make nice.

EYE will never be ready to make nice.

The stakes are too high.
