You can bet that neither he nor the GOP want any scrutiny of the Pandora’s Box that is the November 2016 election.

Flack Kellyanne Conway also loses it.

Mmm. . . .

See no evil, hear no evil, blithely assuring America that he’s OK with an election that brought us an aspiring dictator who will work a demolition derby on Obama’s legacy–as well as on American democracy itself. Working actively to cover up possible, even likely GOP malfeasance: remember that Trump has already lost 5,000 padded votes BEFORE the recount. And completely oblivious to the systemic problems with electronic voting.

And where is his outrage over the rampant, nay, overwhelming voter suppression, directed against African-Americans above all?

As Greg Palast writes on his blog, “Michigan, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, Ohio: every one was stolen through sophisticated, and sickeningly racist vote suppression tactics.”

With each of us, it will take different forms, different therapies–for me, it involves sampling old Fifth Dimension audio and visual on youtube.

Particularly “Save the Country.”

They were flying over her house, sent by Hillary.

Sending his completely ill-equipped son as political envoy, so that the completely ill-equipped dictator can concentrate on ripping off the office of the President to cut more deals.

Josh Marshall at TalkingPointsMemo brings to light this woman and her family’s radical persecution of the American people and American public institutions.

If the Dems cannot challenge these miscreants, they need to retire from the field altogether.

Who better to destroy the public education system than Betsy DeVos?

And destroy it, I might add, with our public education funds.

Don Hazen at Alternet previews the dictator’s “effort to transform the United States into a new, reality-TV style, social media obsessed, repressive authoritarian state. The goal is to ignore and destabilize the normal checks and balances, and push forward with ideas and plans that were never even on the table over the past 40 or more years.”

It was President Obama’s slow walk (at best) on progressive issues that was a contributing factor to the Democrats’ losses in 2010, 2014 and 2016 (although we now must begin to wrap our minds around the possibility that Hillary actually won.)

Rather than go away quietly, Obama’s people are now trying to sandbag the Party going forward by sabotaging Keith Ellison’s bid for DNC chair.

Read Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman in the NYT.

The fossilized but allegedly “New” Democrats performed a gut renovation on the Party with calamitous results for the Party and the country.

Won’t they please toddle off?
