Happy Safe Harbor Day, America!

 Yes indeed, Mr. and Mrs. America! Happy Safe Harbor Day!

Safe harbor law locks Congress into accepting electoral votes cast for President-elect Joe Biden

What is Safe Harbor Day, you might ask? Well here you are:

Other than Wisconsin, every state appears to have met a deadline in federal law that essentially means Congress has to accept the electoral votes that will be cast next week and sent to the Capitol for counting on Jan. 6. Those votes will elect Joe Biden as the country’s next president.

So here we are and thank goodness! We've never needed to really acknowledge this day up to now since no sitting President ever denied, ignored, disavowed our vote, our votes, our election and our Democracy. But then, we've never had this much a narcissistic, self-dealing, self-centered, greedy, thoughtless, corrupt President before now, either.

So, go! Enjoy this great and beautiful day!

Now only 6 more days until the Electoral College turns in its formal finding on the election and FORTY-TWO days until inauguration!

Glory, hallelujah!

I can't believe how far down, down, down this President and his people and his administration and political party have dragged us all as a nation.

Thanks, Mr. President.

Thanks, Republicans.

Now, at long last, America. Let's do this.

This Much Support for a Sitting President's Opponent From His Own Political Party is Unprecedented

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. America, the amount of public, formal, announced support this Republican Party President's opponent is getting, has already gotten from members of his own political party is unprecedented in our nation's history. Never before in America have this many people and groups come out against a sitting President and for his opponent, from, again, his own, this President's own political party.

And thank goodness.

Check out this partial list. First these 4 groups.

Republican Voters Against Trump

I wasn't even aware of these next two Republican groups against Trump.

In an extraordinary condemnation, the former defense secretary backs protesters and says the president is trying to turn Americans against one another.

Also breaking yesterday, coincidentally, is this high profile break with this Republican Party President.

Trump’s escalating attacks on election prompt fears of a constitutional crisis

Donald Trump Is Attacking American Democracy at Its Core

Then look at this. Psychologists, too, are lining up against this man and his Presidency.

'We are psychologists, and we are convinced Donald Trump is a psychopath'

After allowing the Trump Presidency, which should never have happened, the American people are waking up, and thank goodness.

Americans are finding out this Emperor is naked

And overall, here's a big factor of what this President and his administration seem to clearly stand for.

Watchdog Report Cites 3,400 Conflicts Of Interest During Trump Presidency

And the opposite of Trump? The opposite of this small, self-serving man and all his greed and emotion?

The Finance 202: Biden would create stronger economic growth and more jobs, economists find

This Republican Party President is attacking our Democracy, our health care system, attacking our protections for clean air, water and soil, even our own Postal Service, our census and still more. It's unreal. It would be unbelievable from any other President.

Face it. It's a Presidential election between a thinking, experienced adult and a greedy, self-serving, uninformed, ignorant, reckless, even dangerous, very emotional child.

Vote this fall, folks. November 3rd, be sure to vote.

And vote blue.

Hypocrite, Thy Name Is Republican

Herewith, a list of several Republicans and their quotes on having a Supreme Court nominee named during an election year.

• 2016, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “It has been 80 years since a Supreme Court vacancy was nominated and confirmed in an election year. There is a long tradition that you don’t do this in an election year.”
• 2018, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.): “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait to the next election.”
• 2016, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.): “I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term - I would say that if it was a Republican president.”
• 2016, Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.): “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.”
• 2016, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa): “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.”
• 2016, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.): “The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.”
• 2016, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.”
• 2016, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.): “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.”
• 2016, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.): “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.”
• 2016, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio): “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.”
• 2016, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.): “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.”

Stunning hypocrisy now, with so many of them pushing for an immediate replacement on the court for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat.

Fortunately, the response from Democrats since Friday has been good to fantastic.

Democrats raise more than $71 million in hours after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death

I heard on the Sunday morning news this morning that it's actually more like 91 million dollars raised. Good on us.

I love this, too, naturally.
