Dunce Cap Award: Care to take a guess?

 It has been 5 years since Donald Trump drew a larger than normal gathering to Washington, and convinced them to go to the Capitol to protest his election loss, and prevent the certification of Joe Biden as President.

We know the rest of this story. They did more than protest. They vandalized the Capitol, attacked police officers, stole property, et al, all because they believed the Big Lie, that Trump was screwed in November 2020.

The truth is, he wasn't. There was no fraud, despite Trump's persistent claims to the contrary to this day. Why? Because he doesn't know how to accept defeat with honor, dignity, and grace.


"WAAAHHHH! I won! They rigged the election! WAAAAAHHH!"

No, spray tan breath. You lost, fair & square, but you can't let go. Had you won, you wouldn't be in the White House now.

So the biggest sore loser on the planet directed his staff at the White House to create a new website that purports to blame the Democrats for that fateful day. All because he refuses to accept responsibility for what happened. 

What he forgets, of course, is that lawmakers on both sides were imperiled by these trespassing losers. Never mind that Missouri's Josh Hawley ran like a scared child, hours after saluting the protesters on his way to work. A year ago, Trump pardoned several of the protesters, because he still believes they did nothing wrong. The new website is full of lies, adding to the litany of self-inflicted wounds by Trump since returning to office. Truth is a stranger to a 79 year old brat.

And that brat gets another Dunce Cap. No amount of gaslighting will salve his damaged ego, and that's what the new website is for. Gaslighting. I don't think it survives.
