Why so-called men like Donald Trump are in deep trouble right now

Ive got to tell you, as a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that Id be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin and we won.

-Judge Susan Crawford Tuesday night after being elected in a landslide to become Wisconsins next Supreme Court Justice

In the wake of that stunning election here in Wisconsin, I reckon there
will be a lot of people telling you not to over-read the results of just
one state election. Those people will be dead wrong when they do it, but
before I address their faulty assumptions, lets talk briefly about a few of
the gigantic things Crawfords win does for the people of Wisconsin all
with associated affects on America:

It protects womens right to choose. Had her opponent Brad Schimel won, you could have expected Republicans to drag women by their hair and back to an
1849 state law here heavily banning abortion. And no, thats not hyperbole.
The semi-fair political maps that were finally drawn last year abolishing
the most gerrymandered maps in the nation, would have been incinerated by Republicans. And I say, semi-fair because the new maps still favor right- leaning voters who are at best 50 percent of the population here. I will be pushing for truly fair maps in this space in the future, but Im too damn
happy to do much grousing about anything right now.
It protects the recent restoration of collective bargaining rights for Wisconsin public workers and teachers unions that were lost under
Republican control in 2011.

Like I said gigantic.

It also restores what has become a blurry notion of right and wrong in this country, because there is no damn way a grotesque billionaire slime ball bombing into our state and passing out money for votes is anything but
wrong.

In fact, it is criminal.

By walloping Schimel by 10 points in a state where razor-thin margins are
the rule, the people of Wisconsin put the America-attacking Donald Trump on notice: Youve gone way too far, sport. Back up now, or prepare to be
flattened in the future.

Democrats around the country got the fuel-injected boost they so badly
needed, because they finally got around to listening to their voters
instead of cowering in the corners, and conceding the floor to these odious Republicans. You feeling me right now, Chuck Schumer?

Because at almost the very moment the Democrats new national leader, New
Jersey Senator Cory Booker, was finally giving his 25-plus hours of good trouble a break, the race here in Wisconsin was being called for Crawford.

If you didnt feel the earth shift after that one, you werent paying
attention. And if you werent paying attention why in the hell not?

Everything changed in the past 24 hours, and it is the people on the Left,
and not most of our damn politicians who we can thank for that. Booker said
as much during his heroic speech, and immediately after in a must-see
interview with Rachel Maddow:

I do really credit constituents, who were impatient, who were demanding,
who were scared, who were angry, and, very understandably, taking that
anger out on Democrats, who have to take some responsibility for being
where we are in American history right now.
But I suddenly realized that I have just got to do something myself. I have
got to try to prove worthy for my constituents that Im willing to step out
and step up in some way and hopefully be able to share their stories that
were so hurtful.

And before I continue here, a lot of us have caught a lot of crap for
trying to hold Democratic politicians into account since that ghastly
election November 5th. Knuckleheads like James Carville have even suggested
we stand down. If I had a dollar for every time somebody told me to stop beating up on your own Id have enough money to buy some election.

But if you still somehow didn't feel the switch in the political winds last night, let me tell you who did: the racist Trump.

Something that got very little mention in the run-up to this crucial race
in Wisconsin was the absence of the serial liar in the state. Say what you
want about the economy-crasher and dont stop but facts are he has won two
out of three times hes run up here, which is a pretty good batting average
for a bunt-hitter.

While Trump did throw his support for Schimel, he made sure to do it from
the safety of his nuclear-powered social media accounts. There were none of
his unhinged cult rallies in the state, where literally anything would come
out of his trashcan of a mouth.

Trumps absence in Wisconsin did all the talking for him. He knows deep in
his empty, black heart that he is failing, and people arent at all
entertained by what he has been serving. Markets are crashing, food prices
are going up, national security is at risk, and benefits like social
security are no longer safe.

Human beings are being disappeared.

Never underestimate the vanity of a guy who paints himself orange, and
tapes dead ferrets to his head each day before going off to berate the
public. He wasnt going to be seen anywhere in the vicinity of this state,
if losing big up here was a possibility.

So the despicable bastard needed somebody to blame for his potential
failure a scapegoat.

Enter oily Elon.

As I was spiking the football in this column, I got this alert from my
friends at Raw Story: Trump says Elon Musk will be out of the White House 'soon'

See? Everything that went wrong Tuesday night was Elons fault.

Nobody in history has been better at recycling one-time supporters into
trash than Dumpster Donny, but Musk presents a unique challenge. How does
he say, Sure Id love to take gobs more of your money, Elon, but is there
any way I can see you less?

The answer to that question is, no. Musk completely owns him, even if
Vladimir Putin would disagree.

Trump is now being dragged around the world by Putin and here at home by
Musk, and the good people on the Left need to be pointing this out every
other minute.

What happened up here in Wisconsin Tuesday night, and with Bookers epic
speech on the Senate floor in Washington, completely changed the playing
field and how we patriots must look at things going forward.

Never underestimate your power as a United States voter, even if
Republicans are doing everything they can to take that power away. Our representatives work for us. That has somehow been forgotten. I will expect
the battle to be joined by all those gutless Democrats who ran for cover
after November 5th. When we fight, we win.

Never underestimate the women in America. No surprise, all four liberal justices on our court in Wisconsin are women. Watching them on that stage
last night gave me goosebumps. They-were-feeling-it. THEY DID THIS. They
stood up to the patriarchy and all that damn dirty money, and showed them
who was really boss.

Ya know, I dig around in a lot of the corners here in the powerhouse of Madison, Wisconsin, where we voted for Crawford to the astonishing tune of roughly 85% to 15% over Schimel. Let me tell you who you will find knocking
on the doors, making the phone calls, working the polls, opening their
homes, and fighting back with a vengeance at our one-after-another rallies
in this city: WOMEN.

Damn, I am proud to stand with them. And damn I am one happy dude right
now.

Forward!
