Suppressors gonna suppress

 It seems only weeks ago that Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger were celebrated as heroes for doing their jobs -- governor and secretary of state respectively -- and following the law.  Only last week Trump supporters wanted them imprisoned or worse, and the death threats threatened to drown out "White Christmas."  Georgia was so proud.

But the electing isn't over, and it seems ol' Brian and ol' Brad have been up to their ol' tricks, purging voters because of unverified change-of-address information.  Over 4,000 were removed in Muscogee County, which Biden won; another 150 were in Ben Hill County, which is Trump country.  Today federal Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner ordered the voters reinstated in a suit brought by Majority Forward.  Expect the whining and death threats to be dialed up to eleven, for Judge Gardner is the sister of Stacey Abrams and declined to recuse herself for that reason.  Fraud!  Illegal voters!  You know the song.

It matters because there has already been record turnout for a special election.  Nothing riding on it except Moscow Mitch's ability to block every attempt by the Biden administration to pull this country out of the abyss Trump drove it into.  Mail ballots are having their signatures scrutinized under a microscope, attempts to make early voting more difficult had to be smacked down, and the TV ad blitz is relentless.  What will the boys come up with next?  Strap in, it's a week to election day.

As of today, 346,258 Americans have died in the Trumpandemic, a number which is sure to spike after the big "Fuck it, let's travel a lot for Christmas" event.  President-elect Biden promises to use the Defense Production Act to make vaccines as soon as the White House is vacated and fumigated.  I wonder why Trump never thought of that.  Maybe it's because he has so much on his plate:

Complaining (prompted by Breitbart) about "elitist snobs in the fashion press" failing to put the First Escort and her relatively new kidneys on the cover of any fashion or lifestyle magazines during her four years as  "the greatest of all time" (greatest what is unspecified).

Issuing a proclamation about ending "religious persecution worldwide" on the 850th anniversary of the assassination of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.  Sign me on, I'm tired of being persecuted by the religious.  Tax the churches!

Putting out a video claiming he won a Nobel Peace Prize with the wrong medal (spotted by a sharp-eyed numismatist named John Kraljevich).  Dementia -- how does it work?

Ignoring the car bomb a white man set off in Nashville.  I guess it's just another "Democrat-run" hellhole.

Tweeting about his new imaginary friend, "a young military man working in Afghanistan," who told him that their elections are fairer, more secure and much tastier than ours.   (Wouldn't that be "a soldier"?)

Shopping for a Palm Beach Xanadu large enough that he will never have to see Melania and the kid, or notice when they leave.

Pardoning, unnoticed among all the celebrity sleazebags, former Maryland cop Stephanie Mohr (and presumably her "black ass"-savaging dog, too).  I didn't know Bull Connor had a granddaughter.

Demanding, after months of negotiations, that the covid stimulus check be increased from $600 to $2,000, solely to give McConnell an excuse to blow it up.

Having his incoherent veto of the National Defense Authorization Act overridden by Congress, which is not as passionate as he is about keeping the names of traitors on military bases and punishing social media which tag his bullshit as "This is bullshit."  The power of McConnell compels you!

Still insisting he won the election.

Tirelessly golfing.
