GET OUT: US politics November 2020

it's only 10:30 here!

haven't even gotten to the point of the evening where I turn on a movie and then proceed to ignore it while I play on my phone for two hours yet

glad I'm on the west coast right now

Update: Biden's margin in Bucks Co., PA just jumped to 3.3%. Clinton won it by just 0.8% in 2016. https://t.co/J4R6wpY9qT

I find myself wondering what Dr. Morbius would be posting right now

if it were 4 years ago, it'd be 'stfu Fred'

Mary Trump:

"...because Republicans have gained seats in the house and not lost the senate, Donald will have to reconcile that this is a repudiation of HIM personally."

In other words he can't blame the party.

lol no

That Michael Kosta guy sounds like Bob Odenkirk

Looking forward to the Dinesh D'Souza/James O'Keefe coproduction TRUMPED: How Antifa Stole the Election.

lol at that video

Sidebar: “Previously, in Arizona” O_o

I'm at the scene at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) in Phoenix, AZ for the "Rally To Count The Votes."

Mary Trump with the *bam* BOOT TO THE HEAD!

PA is down to 26,000-ish now

I chafe at the thought of what those qAnon's "God" would look like

hadn't considered Mary's take there, but I like it

all that and a pair of slacks

lemons all the way down

About GA and the military vote

I think there's some confusion, at least in my replies, over military/overseas vote in GA.
Most of these votes are already counted. However, they can still arrive until tmro; 9k were sent out but weren't returned. These late arriving ballots are what's potentially left

— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) November 6, 2020

I don't know how many of these ballots will arrive, much as I don't know how many late ballots will arrive in NC. I also don't know how they'll lean--there are plenty of cosmopolitans in this group as well, I'd think.
I do know there will be far more provisionals, but dk how many

— Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) November 6, 2020

Meantime

Trump's lead down to 26k in PA
This has been like a 36 hour-long NYE ball drop https://t.co/gewKdTjgXp

Oh hi, just wrapping up a glorious, sanity-preserving 48-hour internet and news blackout (or, well, brownout, as I've peeked very briefly through my fingers at updates every twelve hours or so while tamping down sheer panic), what's been happening?

I thought that sign said HOLD THE LINE PATRIOTS GODWINS and it was about how true Patriots constantly brought up Hitler on social media

New: latest Delaware Co., PA mail ballots stretch Biden's lead there to 25.8% w/ 310k ballots countied. In 2016, Clinton carried it by 22.3% w/ 299k votes cast.

Biden's lead is going to keep climbing in Delco. It's rapidly becoming more diverse & less GOP.

i was more nfl-triggered by PATRIOTS and immediately was like FUCK THE PATRIO- oh wait

I thought maybe the Pats were playing the Bucs this week, and they would do well to try and keep Chris Godwin in check.

GA is now at less an 1800 vote lead for Our Divinely Appointed President with 99.5% of precincts reporting. There will almost certainly be a recount demanded by whoever loses.

I can attest to the truth of that accent

what are the worst Jacobin things ... if someone wants to derail this thread with funny animal videos, that'd be cool too

Now @SteveKornacki is estimating Biden passes Trump in Pennsylvania around 1-3 am ET

— Carl Zimmer (@carlzimmer) November 6, 2020

FUCK!!! TOO LATE!!

we’ll all be dead by then steve

I am staying up until it happens. who with me

*checks time* Put on a movie, we could know by the end of it.

I'm in California, so I'm pretty fresh atm

I think I'll put on The Shaggy D.A. because the story is remarkably similar to what's happening here

^ in case you can't focus on a movie

Heading to band practice. Hope it doesn't drop til I get back

Put on Dark Side of the Moon at midnight EST and watch Biden pass Trump just as "Eclipse" begins.

that would........ rule

otm

I'm gonna try it

philly very temporarily becoming the most low-key begrudgingly respected region of america was not a development I saw coming

I'm putting on The Shining... forwards and backwards in simultaneous projection.

The great thing about Philadelphia is you literally can't insult them. They take any attempt at insult as either a compliment or an offer to fight which is also a compliment in Philly.

My own Philly adjacent accent is mostly limited to how I pronounce orange, forehead, horror and water.
