"A Prehensile Halfwit"

"The Clinton campaign has now joined Stein's efforts. 'Now that a recount is underway, we believe we have an obligation to the more than 64 million Americans who cast ballots for Hillary Clinton to participate in ongoing proceedings to ensure that an accurate vote count will be reported,' announced the campaign's general counsel in an online statement yesterday.

Notwithstanding their almost certain fruitlessness, both efforts are as they should be, since the pissant asked for them. For weeks he refused to say he would accept the election's results, unless he won. A loss, he insisted, would demonstrate a rigged system — and perversely, he was right. In their head-to-head November 8 matchup, Clinton defeated Trump roughly 51 percent to 49 percent; the real winner went down only because of an archaically rigged system.

We can be sure that had the loser actually lost, he'd be demanding recounts and filing lawsuits and whipping his primeval rabble to an obstinate and probably violent frenzy. Thank you, you knuckledragging horror of a slouching demagogue, for showing us how to accept defeat in the Age of Trump: We don't.

Even though we may not genuinely believe in conspiracy theories of electoral corruption and vote-hacking and all that, we are free to sling whatever outrageous accusations strike our fancy, for such is the pathogenic behavior that Trump introduced to American politics with a magnitude never before seen — the malevolent, mendacious little jackass.

Although I don't know which is worse - half wit, dim wit or nit wit.

nit wit is a pretty good one.

I think I need to come up with some new swear words for him. My grandfather taught me some in German, those would probably work well for our new Fuhrer.

pre·hen·sile
prēˈhensəl,-ˌsīl/
adjective
adjective: prehensile
(chiefly of an animal's limb or tail) capable of grasping.

An elephant has a prehensile nose. Some monkeys and other primates have prehensile tails.

Perhaps it was an autocorrect for 'reprehensible'?

Skinks are lizards that have prehensile tails and blue tongues. I hear they make good pets too.

we need to stop underestimating fascists

now, in the last 2 months of our democratic republic, it all just sounds like so much gallows humor to me
