Internet mocks Trump for big Kentucky loss with #ByeByeBevin: ‘This is where you pretend you never met Bevin’
Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin is not having a good election night. After President Donald Trump went to the state and begged with his supporters to vote for Bevin so he could avoid humiliation, Bevin still isn’t winning, with 99 percent reporting and the Associated Press and NBC have called the race for Andy Beshear.
Tuesday Matt Bevin losing “sends a really bad message,” said Trump. He then pleaded with his fans, “you can’t let that happen to me!”

In the words of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, “That just happened to you.”
Trump won Kentucky by 30 points in 2016, it was one of his top five states.
It prompted many to take to Twitter with the hashtag #ByeByeBevin.
You can see the best tweets below:
R’s are saying that Bevin’s loss doesn’t matter because he was a singularly arrogant executive who picked stupid fights that alienated suburban voters. Oh. I guess that has no applicability to 2020 then. Hmmm. Also, pls explain Virginia.

A year ago, we made this shirt. Then we saw our new governor-elect @AndyBeshearKY wear it all over Kentucky. We think he’ll make good on his promise to defend public education, but if not, we’re going to remind him. A lot. Thanks, Andy, and good luck! #ByeByeBevin #kyelect pic.twitter.com/9H58ip6GUj

As happy as I am that Andy Beshear, and the people of Kentucky, won tonight; I'm just as happy about how sick Mitch McConnell and Trump are over these results.
Not only did Republicans lose but turnout was HUGE which never bodes well for them. 😏#KYGov #ByeByeBevin

Republicans won every other race, don't get carried away. But this is a huge burning pile of poo at Drumpf's doorstep.

It did happen. Trump is radioactive.

‘People’s lives will be lost’: Psychiatrist warns ‘sociopath’ Trump is ‘getting worse’ — and failing in coronavirus response
President Donald Trump's psychological problems are getting worse and could be consequential as America faces a potential COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Thursday interviewed Dr. Lance Dodes, a former assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
"As you pointed out, Lawrence, this man is about himself. He really is not about the country, he's not about public health," Dr. Dodes said of Trump.
"Although he has already severely damaged the country by being a psychopath or sociopath -- in many ways, he's damaged democracy -- I think people's lives will be lost now," he warned. "Individual lives will be lost because of the way he's mishandling the coronavirus issue."

‘Something really rotten’: Here’s the evidence of extensive voter suppression in Georgia’s notorious 2018 election
As the 2020 presidential campaign cycle grinds on, there’s renewed concern about the 21st century’s newest form of warfare: cyber-sabotage of government systems, including elections and online disinformation intended to incite unrest. But as Suppressed: The Fight to Vote, a documentary from Brave New Films, makes clear, partisan voter suppression tactics with 20th-century roots remain and can thwart multitudes of voters from changing their state’s political leaders.

The real story behind Trump’s new lawsuit against the New York Times
Wednesday was an ominous day for freedom of the press in this country, and I want to tell you why.
You may have heard or seen that President Trump filed a libel suit against the New York Times. Perhaps you weren’t surprised: the president is known to frequently disparage the Times even as he reads it obsessively. Borrowing a page from what I’ve referred to before as a Mount Rushmore of totalitarians, Robespierre, Hitler, Stalin and Mao, Trump loves to call the press the “enemy of the people.”
