Silver Lining, Day 1396

Our president needs to shut the fuck up and maybe try and save some lives. 

This is from just before 9am. TODAY. 

Friends and family, Democrats and Republicans, alike. I implore you to PLEASE contact your elected representatives in Congress and beg them to curb our Orange Julius Caesar!

On the bike today, I saw a truck with a Trump 2020: Make Liberals Cry Again decal. 

Tears of Irony.

It really is remarkable how little Donny-boy cares about the United States. His antipathy knows no bounds.

Is it considered an ass-kicking now?

Q-Annoying

Silver Lining, Day 1391

Apologies to R.E.M. 

Oh, lies are bigger 

Are bigger 

Than you and you are not me 

The lengths that I will go to 

The resistance in your eyes 

Oh no, I've said too much 

I set it up 

That's me on the golf course 

That's me in denial 

Losing my election 

Trying to keep up with Q 

And I don't know if I can do it 

Oh no, I've said too much 

I haven't said enough 

I thought that I saw you laughing 

I thought that I heard you cry 

I think I thought I saw you try 

Every denier 

Of every waking hour 

I'm choosing my suppressions 

Trying to keep an eye on Q 

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool 

Oh no, I've said too much 

I set it up 

Consider this 

Consider this 

The fraud of the century (that’s me) 

Consider this 

The slip that brought me 

To my knees, reality 

What if all these fantasies 

Come crashing to the ground? 

Now I've said too much 

I thought that I filed a lawsuit, or two, or ten 

I thought that I heard Giuliani 

I think I thought I saw you lie 

But that was just a dream 

A deluded traitorous dream 

That's me in the White House 

That's me in the Twitter 

Losing the election 

Trying to fuck it up for you 

And I don't know if I can do it 

Oh no, I've said too much 

I haven't said enough 

I thought that I heard you Joe-lecting 

I thought that I heard Mitch scream 

I think I thought I started to cry 

But that was just a dream 

Try, lie 

Why try? 

This is just a lie, just scream, just scream 

Scream

You can kiss next year's Nobel Peace Prize goodbye, too, you big orange baby!

For a party so resistant to science, it makes sense that they'd have a problem with math, as well.

Silver Lining, Day 1388

Something to chew on. Keep in mind, toward the end, the Trump campaign was cash-poor and had been vastly outspent by Biden.  

Imagine, had Trump embraced science from the get-go, and started mass-producing, selling and marketing MAGA masks , and crimson Trump Masks, and all the variations (I'm convinced "Lock Her Up" masks would have still been best sellers). He would have sold these to his followers by the boatload (one for every day of the week!), and his campaign could have had a huge influx of cash AND his supporters would have worn those masks with zealous abandon. 

Think about it. Not only about the financial possibilities, HOW MANY LIVES WOULD HE HAVE SAVED, especially among his own base? 

One can argue that, had he not mishandled the pandemic from the onset, this election would have gone a much different way. His supporters may not agree, but he also mishandled a huge marketing opportunity that, I argue, would have made a difference and changed history. 

An astute businessman should have known better.

Down one "friend," who blocked/ unfriended me after I left a very empathetic reply on one of his posts. Seriously, folks, give some love to your Trumpsters. They have serious Stockholm Syndrome and need some reprogramming. They have a Supreme Court conservative majority as a consolation prize and still have a shot at controlling the Senate, so keep that in mind. Oh, and there's a fucking pandemic going on. Take care of yourself and one another. Be safe. Wear a mask. COVID-19 doesn't care how you voted.

I'm "claiming" Gold Lamé Duck.

Not many more of these left. 

Enjoy them while they last.

Donnie has a serious case of BLUE balls.

Trump supporters are going to need their own 12-step recovery plan when this is all over.

Silver Lining, Day 1385

Guys, I am having second thoughts about my choices. 

After watching what has transpired over the last couple of months, I have seen a lot of hate spewed toward a man who has, time and again, proven to be a winner and overachiever, and I get it, that's what the people who support him like about him. Yes, he's been caught in lies and twisted the truth a little, but he still shows up every day and is there proving his haters wrong time after time. It's normal for people to be jealous of someone who is successful, powerful, and has a lot of money. Throw in that beautiful wife, steadfast by his side, and they hate him even more. I realize now that you may not have wanted him in his role, but he's there now and there's nothing you can do about it. I know it’s possibly going to get worse over the next several days, but I am sold. I'm flipping the script and, love him or hate him, I'm giving him his props .... Tom Brady is really truning things around in Tampa.

Just swirl this around your brain a little. Source: NYTimes... 

Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said the push for a recount was not the behavior of a winning campaign. “When Donald Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by roughly the same amount of votes that Joe Biden just did, or won Michigan with fewer votes than Joe Biden is winning it now, he bragged about a ‘landslide,’ and called recount efforts ‘sad,’” Mr. Bates said. “What makes these charades especially pathetic is that while Trump is demanding recounts in places he has already lost, he’s simultaneously engaged in fruitless attempts to halt the counting of votes in other states in which he’s on the road to defeat.” 

And yes, Michigan has been declared for Biden now. 

I'm crossing everything I've got to cross.

Donnie's SAT scores were so low, he couldn't even get wait-listed for Electoral College. #funnierinmyhead

Richie Torres and Mondaire Jones. Congratulations!

Maybe now that #MoscowMitch and #LustyLindsay have won reelection, they can find their spines and muzzle their yapping orange chihuahua? [Please, no hate mail from chihuahua lovers. Thank you!]

Every minute that he can't declare himself a winner, he is becoming more unhinged, saying stupid fascist shit that is full of misleading statements and lies that are swallowed whole or disregarded by his supporters. In other words, it's Wednesday.

Count every vote. Every vote counts.

Stepping in dog shit doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore.

We here at Silver Linings, Incorporated, endorse Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, even though a Biden Presidency would shut down the Trump Silver Linings plant in Brooklyn. We can deal with shuttering our operation if it means ousting the sexist, racist, xenophobic, vile excuse for a human being from the White House. A hearty thanks to all the Americans who are working as poll workers and doing their part to strengthen and protect our electoral process, a cornerstone of our democracy. Your hard work is recognized and appreciated!

A couple of friends have posted this from Bay Ridge. I stole this shot from my city councilman's Twitter feed. It says everything that needs to be said and perfectly encapsulates my view of the Cult of 45.
