Maniacs,
I am pleased, right now. I am not overjoyed, but I am pleased.
Fox News reported that Joe Biden is beating Donald Trump in their latest polls. It’s been a long, long time since he’s been in the lead. A few days ago, economic numbers were reported which surpassed most people’s expectations. Fox News reported those numbers too, but it seemed like they really didn’t want to.
Let’s get ourselves up to date.
It can be argued that Fox News handed George W Bush the 2000 election. Florida had originally been called for Al Gore early in the evening by the three traditional major TV networks. This was based on Associated Press exit polls, but as actual votes were tabulated and handed in, it could be seen that Florida was closer than expected. The networks retracted their Al Gore projection. Tom Brokaw said in embarrassment, “We don’t just have egg on our face. We have omelette all over our suits.” Florida was categorized as too close to call until W’s cousin, John Prescott Ellis, called Florida for Bush. He worked for Fox. A recount happened in the following weeks until it was halted by conservative SCOTUS justice, Antonin Scalia. He cited public unrest as one of the reasons the recount was not completed to fruition.
Fast forward to 2020. Donald Trump believed the 2000 playbook would give him the presidency. Fox News would prematurely call an iffy state for him, then SCOTUS would pull some strings. Instead, Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden. Trump was furious! More than sixty lawsuits were lost which had alleged election fraud. Trump lost by seven million votes.
We are starting a new page here at Never Trump Blog. We appreciate the journalists at MSNBC for their scrutiny of Donald Trump and the political right. But? The thing that makes the world go round are the dissenters! It’s the people within the GOP who’ve stood their ground! They selected ideals over people! People can be corrupted, keep in mind! It can be revealed that certain people don’t have the wherewithal to begin with! Donald Trump made inferences that the Constitution doesn’t need to be obeyed! He thinks he is greater than the Consitution! At Maniac Nebula, we believe Donald Trump is dog shit! How can dog shit be greater than the Constitution? It’s a syllogism you might have to figure out on your own.
We are starting a new page at this Never Trump Blog. It’s called the Teddy Roosevelt Awards and Honorable Mentions. Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican president. He was a rough rider. He once was shot in an assassination attempt, but didn’t let it alter his day’s plans. He gave a speech as he was still bleeding. He made sure the Panama Canal was completed in order to provide the United States with economic growth and security!
Then?
After he was president, he left the Republican party! He was truly independent! He sought the presidency again, but this time as a third-party candidate! His Bull Moose campaign was one of the stronger independent runs in American history. Though he did not win at the ballot box, he won in the hearts of his supporters!
Maniac Nebula will give awards to strong Republicans who defy Orange Dog Shit. Off the top of my head, Liz Cheney and Chris Christie have received our first two awards. We give honorable mentions to Nikki Haley and Mitt Romney. Haley was strongly defiant, but she eventually said she would vote for Orange Dog Shit. Mitt Romney voted to impeach Chump, but he involved himself in some stupid ceremony last week seeming to capitulate to Orange Dog Shit.
Today, Fox News gets an honorable mention. Why? For reporting the news! Biden is beating Trump in their poll, and they reported it! Why not give them a Teddy Roosevelt Award instead of merely an honorable mention? They haven’t shown integrity long enough!
But today’s final Teddy Award goes to Paul Ryan! You have been vocal about your criticism of Orange Dog Shit! You stuck with your ideals, and principles! We salute you! Keep rockin’!! !
On Behalf of Maniac Nebula,
— Demented
ps … the Teddy Award presented by Maniac Nebula was short lived. After tiny research, we have found there is already a Teddy Award in existence. We have re-named our Teddy Award. It is now the Maniac Award! Congrats to Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, and Paul Ryan! You are Maniacs in the best sense of the word!
