Donald Trump is a cancer. On November 3rd, an operation was undertaken on the sick body politic known as America. Surgeons, during what was a very long and particularly complicated operation, managed to successfully remove the tumor from the White House.

However, the cancer had spread much deeper into the body, spreading through the lymph nodes. The patient is very ill, and a full recovery does not seem likely.

Donald Trump lost the election. As he slinks off into the dank and rotting shadows of our national discourse, taking with him 70% of registered Republicans and enough lunatics in the House of Representatives and Senate to ensure that President-elect Biden’s efforts at healing will be made ever more difficult, a coterie enemies to our nation will continue to do his dirty work in 2021.

Opportunists who realize their political fortunes depend on keeping the fraud-fraud nourished and alive, they will stop at nothing to ensure America never heals. An agitated and distracted America is their only strategy for achieving self-satisfaction. The longer-term consequences of the lies do not deter them because if they are again reelected to office then the accomplished mission will result in high quality health benefits, heightened security for them and loved ones, good pay and tremendous career prospects after leaving office.

Who wouldn’t spread some poisonous pus to get those little gifts in their Christmas stocking, right?

Without further ado, here are the vile ones:

20. Chris Christie — The only reason he isn’t listed higher is because of late he has been speaking out against Trump. Nevertheless, he is one of the most self-serving political monsters alive today. His I saw Jesus moment with Covid seems to have temporarily pushed sanity back onto the horizon; but for how long.

19. Ivanka Trump — Simply because she is.

18. Jared Kushner — There are many reasons why he is vile. The criminal negligence of his Coronavirus task force tops that list.

17. Sidney Powell — There aren’t enough superlatives to describe why this woman is out of her mind and completely vile. She really should be higher on the list but as a relative new-comer to hating America, she only had enough time to plow into the lower half of our top twenty — pushing aside Kayleigh McEnany. If this list was based on solely post-election enemies, Frau Powell would be #3 hands down.

16. Maria Bartiromo — One of the News Corp queens, she is a vile propagandist who sadly will forever be a Trump-supporter favorite. The Putin-esque interview of Trump was disgraceful and let the chief whiner and conspiracy whack-job lie unchallenged on live TV about election fraud.

15. Tucker Carlson — The sad thing is, he is a smart person and I would be willing to bet he believes almost none of the fairytales he tells his audience. The reason he isn’t higher is because of the occasional truth he delivers to the foxified zombies. When Tucker says something, they buy it.

14. Christi Noem — As the mask-hating governor of South Dakota, her stupidity not only resulted in the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally which has led to the infections of tens of thousands of Americans; but she also made a replica of Mt. Rushmore with Dotard’s face on it. That affront to our true great Americans alone nominates her for North Korean citizenship.

13. Rick Scott — The sole justification for his place here is Florida. Florida is America gorged on moon pies and RC Cola — no offense to Floridians, but your state is a mess.

12. Jim Jordan — Every vile Tweet from this sycophant makes me want to vomit. He keeps talking about how 1/3 of the electorate thinks the election was stolen — and why? Because he and Dotard keep saying it was. Jim Jordan is a dumb, dumb person and sadly the people who vote for him are lost because of him.

11. Ted Cruz — Just look at that beard and his boots, people. Honestly, with each passing day he looks more like someone we would expect to be sending mail bombs. I am sure before people recognize him at the local Walmart, they run checks on their kids and reach for their concealed-and-carried guns. He is a freaky-looking dude and vile. I would bet he also eats bologna sandwiches on Wonder Bread.

10. David Nunes — two words: David Nunes.

9. Bill Barr — As Attorney General of the US, Barr used the Department of Justice to create legality for the crimes of Donald Trump. Abusing his power in ways that John Mitchell and Elliot Richardson, the two AG’s under President Nixon, Barr has decimated DOJ morale and in many ways opened the eyes to formerly blind lady justice — utterly vile.

8. Michael Flynn — A traitor who first sold America out first to Russia and now calls for martial law. He deserves a firing squad at worst and life imprisonment at least. I don’t take kindly to military men calling for coups.

7. Mike Pence — When he publicly got the vaccine, while wearing a mask, the VP demonstrated to us all that he completely understands: Trump’s behavior has been both criminal and deadly; and then, two days later he is back out there calling the election stolen. Vile!

6. Rupert Murdoch — Until the end of time, he will be an enemy of America and democracy. I will soon begin to regard his name in the same way the innocent Dr. Samuel Mudd’s name became synonymous with treason after he was forced to treat the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth.

5. Sean Hannity — As Janice used to say on Friends, oh my gawd. He is a dummy and a buffoon and really few journalists come closer to being Goebbels than him.

4. Rudolph Giuliani — Just for holding a press conference at the Four Seasons porn shop and crematorium puts him on this list. Giuliani has lost any gold stars for his 9/11 guidance of NYC. He also introduced us to Sidney Powell and that alone puts him into the top five.

3. Lindsay Graham — He was so pitiful begging for money on Fox. So much so, that he was cut off by Fox. I mean, that was one of those moments when you should go home and cry in the basement because it was so cringe-worthy and embarrassing. The fact that the man has no soul lands him at #3.

2. Mitch McConnell — Two reasons: first, just take a look at Kentucky. If he was a patriot and loved his home state, Kentucky would be a lot better off. Second reason, because he is Moscow Mitch for a reason. His vileness knows no end!

And the king of all vileness is sadly no stranger to any of us:

Donald Trump — he is the enemy and belongs in prison. While it can’t be good for a former president to be in jail, having him run about doing what he has done since he lost the election will help no one.

Honorable Mention Enemies to America — All of the Qanon lunatics are enemies pure and simple and should be arrested for treason if any of them are holding public office.
