“We Do Not Have Time for the White House Edition of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Starring President-Elect P*ssy-Grabberâ€
In the months leading up to the election Keith Olbermann, in a series of web videos, tried to convince America just how dangerous a president Donald Trump would be. Now that America is facing President-elect Trump, the former MSNBC host is back with a new series devoted to fighting against the man Olbermann calls a fascist, and evil.
In his new series, “The Resistance,” Olbermann aims to unite those who oppose Donald Trump’s presidency. He rightly reminds us that Trump was duly elected and trying to fight that battle, perhaps at the Electoral College, is pointless.
But there are things Americans can do now, Olbermann insists, as he launches into one of his iconic rants.
“Since no Democratic or liberal politician has yet stepped forward out of the morass of Politics, Inc. to take on the responsibility of The Resistance, I, with complete awareness of the presumptuousness and arrogance of this statement, volunteer myself, and I will gladly turn over all these burdens to any more legitimate and informed lawmaker or political or cultural leader who has the guts to take these burdens,†he offers.
“The first step is to complete the de-legitimizing of his presidency and his election. De-legitimizing that he himself began.â€
“Sixty-eight days until his inauguration, still bitching about his paranoid fantasies about the media, still lying about what he said during the campaign, still referring to himself in the third person, still obsessing over one newspaper – as if he were fifteen and it had refused to go with him to the junior prom,†Olbermann says.
“Give him a chance? What, in the hope that he will someday grow up enough to be able to see over the top of the Oval Office desk?â€
He mocks those who insist America must give Trump a chance.
“’All we are saying is, give fascism a chance,’†Olbermann mimics. “’Who knows, it might not be as bad as we think. It might not be a bottomless pit.’â€
Olbermann steadfastly refuses – hence the name, “The Resistance.”
“We do not have time for the White House edition of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ starring President-elect P*ssy-grabber,†Olbermann, exasperated, declares.
And he warns that while he’s advocating resistance, he wants people to do so legally.
“I do not want violence, I’m not proposing the overthrow of the government by any means other than legal and political,†Olbermann said. “I think protests should be limited to Washington, Trump Tower and the Trump hotels. I have no pie-in-the-sky plan to have the Electoral College alter the outcome somehow, I will even acquiesce to a President Pence — just get this man out of here.â€
Olbermann is always at his best when he’s angry, and he, and all of America, right now have every right and reason to be angry.
