BREAKING: Democratic superstar Stacey Abrams gives a powerful burst of hope to those worried about Donald Trump's victory, says that it "wasn't a landslide" before destroying his claim to a "mandate."
This has MAGA world frothing with rage...
"It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no," Abrams said on MSNBC.
"It was less than 50 percent of the electorate who said this is what we want," she added.
Abrams is one of the country's most prominent voting rights activists. She also mounted a historic gubernatorial bid in Georgia that nearly succeeded.
"Our responsibility is for decency — to show those who stayed home, those who stayed silent that there is a place for decency and a place for them," said Abrams. "That’s the work that has to be done."
However, she added, "it cannot be by itself the only offering.”
"Ignominy is willing to do things that decency won’t," said Abrams. "But that doesn’t mean you abandon decency. I think it means you find other allies."
This is exactly the kind of messaging that the Democratic Party needs right now. Trump has not defeated us for good. This is a disappointing setback but it's one we'll rise from stronger than ever.
In two years we have mid-term elections.
The work starts now.

BREAKING: Donald Trump pounces on the horrific New Orleans truck attack to push his anti-immigrant agenda based on lies about the identity of the attacker.
This is as shameless as it gets...
"When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Despite Trump's insinuation to the contrary, the alleged attacker is not an undocumented immigrant. The Guardian reports that the man in question, Shamsud Din Jabbar, is a U.S. citizen and Texas resident.
"The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before," Trump lied in his post. "Our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department. The Trump Administration will fully support the City of New Orleans as they investigate and recover from this act of pure evil!"
If Trump truly cared about the victims and their families, he wouldn't be rushing to exploit this tragedy for political gain.

It's funny how certain platforms that were Initially against recasting T'Challa is now in support of #RecastTchalla . Erik Voss explains why he has changed his mind.
On one hand, I'm happy many people are coming around to the positivity of what the #RecastTChalla movement was always about. On the other hand, I'd be really disappointed if it took a white-led popular outlet speaking up to understand the push for positive Black representation.
Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary."

BREAKING: Donald Trump's "populist" scam is exposed in record time as powerful corporations flood his inauguration fund with millions of dollars — proving that he really serves them.
MAGA supporters really fell for it again...
In return for donations from Fortune 500 companies, cryptocurrency companies, and corrupt individual billionaires, Trump is allowing them to attend a fancy "Starlight Ball" with him, Melania, and incoming Cabinet figures.
A packet sent to donors and fundraisers revealed that the the donors will also receive exclusive benefits during the three-day inauguration. This is buying access, plain and simple.
Amazon, Ford Motor Company, and hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin have all pledged $1 million. Robinhood, an online stock-trading platform, is giving $2 million. Crypto company Ripple is giving $5 million in digital currency.
"Money is a way of building relationships in Washington," said Michael Beckel, research director of political reform group Issue One. "Everyone is racing to make friends. The incoming president has a lot of power and being able to get in on the ground floor through a large contribution to his inaugural committee is a way for megadonors and corporate interests to be currying favor with the administration."
Once he's in the White House, these donors will obviously receive priority access and their pet issues will receive Trump's attention. Meanwhile, the average Americans who put Trump into office will be left by the wayside.

@UROCKlive1 How do we have somebody so ignorant ... How did we get here!? And with all the litigation ....And with all the Viruses Floating around and all the bullets flying by, how does this guy just keep ....keep... NOT GOING AWAY!?
@UROCKlive1 As usual, Donald has no interest in actual facts. The vast majority of deaths died in the 10 years the French were building it before we spent 9 years finishing it.
Only a couple hundred Americans died.
I can't wrap my mind around anyone thinking the man who wrote this is fit to be the President of the United States. I just can't. Please send this to every Trump voter you know. They must be so proud.
You’re a pathetic shell of a miserable human, felon trump. You are incapable of thinking, even for one minute, of ANYONE but your pathetic old ass. You mentally cannot physically wish the Nation a Merry Christmas without it pointing to you. I am not just insulting your sociopaths mind, but informing others that under no circumstances can you make a decision that does not involve your perceived wellbeing. You must include a derogatory comment about someone AND how you are the forever victim. Miserable person you are. Ultimately, you can never be truly happy because you cannot enjoy the moment or those around you. There must be something better to be had.
When trump left the Whitehouse, he was considered one of the worst American president in our history, down near the bottom of the list. 4 years later many Americans voted to make him president again. The dumbing down of America in full display.
