GET OUT: US politics November 2020

Does that Georgia certification date include the inevitable recount?

The certification date would be set by state law, so I'd say 'yes, unless the law is changed prior to Nov.20.'

the wizard of Georgia just flicked his wand and changed it

In PA

New: latest Philadelphia count adds over 2k votes and Biden wins them 92%-7%, pushing his statewide PA lead past 47k.

We're well out of automatic recount territory now (0.7 > 0.5), and Biden is still on track to win PA by more than double Trump's 2016 PA margin (44,292 votes).

It doesn't matter that Trump doesn't have a leg to stand on, this is still a coup attempt.

Trump has never had a leg to stand on in any of his own enterprises, since he stopped slumlording for his daddy's apartment buildings. His grand, classy real estate? Tacky bullshit. His vaunted dealmaking? Fictional. His university? Fraudulent. His mail-order steaks? Blister-packed crap. His entire football league? An incompetent shambles. His airline? Overleveraged from the start and never profitable. His film acting? Incompetent. His TV stardom? Pieced together with endless editing. He went bankrupt running casinos in Atlantic City, after being refused a casino in Sydney due to his fraudulence and organised crime connections.

All he has ever had is bluster, and the stamina to keep blustering until he reached enough marks to go along with his idiocy. He's blustering now, and as usual he's finding some people to go along with it conceptually. But for the last four years he's had a lot of people willing to actually carry out his dumbest ideas for the chance to ride alongside power for a little while; almost nobody who has the ability to leverage power is pretending to buy his shit anymore. (And those that do, like Meadows and Bossie, are dropping to the 'vid.)


Hell, even NPR referred to it as the "still disputed election" just this morning, which is irresponsible at best

NPR radio news has been carrying water for him via both-sides-ism during the entire admin. It's worse than useless as an information source.

Feels like NYT is missing a big opportunity here to package this existential dread about Trump staying on in the form of, I dunno, maybe a needle of some type?

sic otm re: NPR, such infuriating garbage

I'm doing my best to reassure y'all. Getting in our heads is what these fuckos do best.

This is the majority of my FB comments on friends' posts today. Level-headed lefties doing a lot of work today.

this is getting a bit like the story of Phil Collins' house

Careful, President Keyes. I am not sure you want ilxorz to go there.

Well if you told me Trump was drowning, I would not lend a hand

Joe don't care anymore

Is anybody listening? There's no recount at all

We just went through this recently.

As a seven-foot-tall center for the Iranian womens' basketball team, I totally agree with Browning

Ah, clarity.

Regarding the tweet that is going viral from my account — I was quoting a message that I received earlier this week from a follower.

Sorry if context was not clear.

Trump received record minority votes & record LGBTQ votes.

Many people won’t say it vocally, but do in private.

lol sure buddy

finally a republican who admits trump got a minority of votes

This just in: Dean Browning's girlfriend, who is totally real and lives in Canada, confirms his account of the tweet.

Murphy: "The president is delusional. There was no voter fraud. He lost. The American people, by a large margin, chose Joe Biden as President of the United States. And this delusion is not a quaint side show. It's an assault on our democracy." pic.twitter.com/bsVWvR5vO8

The weird thing for me is, almost every time I see a Republican on TV talking sense--most recent example, Susan Molinari on CNN 30 minutes ago--it's almost always a former office-holder who used to drive me up the wall during the Clinton presidency. It's disorienting.

Common Sense Solutions, hard at work.

@clemenza: I briefly got excited when I saw a tweet from a House Republican saying that Biden needs to start receiving the PDB ... and then saw that it's a former rep who left Congress in 2015.

I'm thinking Trump's border wall is going to end up like Hoxha's rusty pillboxes in Albania... people will drive out to look at it, take a selfie, and get back in the car.

In Albania, people use them as outhouses.

I"m kinda glad I got banned from FB for a week for calling another male fan of the same soccer team a "stupid bitch". don't have to worry about helping with other people's sanity.

(Note that post got me banned, but someone who actually threatened me with bodily harm on FB and called me a "fucktard" 'didn't violate community standards')

an anti-BLM guy at that!

I'm a black gay guy who was hanging out at a hipster coffee shop where everyone was terrified about Biden's fraud coup

really?

oh it's a parody.

i mean, i always wonder if there are conservative hipster enclaves in red states.

xpost - I can only assume at this point that the moderators in charge of FB are purposefully trying to do as much evil as possible. My wife's friend was getting harassed by a Trump supporter after a heated political argument in a mutual's comments and the guy threatened to doxx her, implied he knew where she worked and posted not so veiled threats about what harm "antifa members like her" deserved. Every single complaint she passed along to FB came as "didn't violate community standards". She finally flipped and called him a "stupid fucking asshole" and nearly instantly got a week ban.

Joe Biden fucking sucks, I hate him

Seth Harris has now been revealed to be on the Biden-Harris labor transition team. He helped spark Uber’s war on gig workers by formalizing the third worker category, but as ⁦@MaxMoranHi⁩ wrote last month, he’s also a uniquely bad lobbyist. https://t.co/OUHjLholEE

"They say this is all part of walking President Trump through this process emotionally and that they assume that while he may never concede, he will leave. There will be, they say, a peaceful transition of power to the Biden-Harris administration on January 20. They say that."

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) November 10, 2020

Glad we are all making sure that Trump is being properly "walked through this process emotionally."

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

he is going to embrace self-care and take time every day for journaling xp WTF

a lot of these conservatives look the same to me. you could have told me dean browning was a picture of sean spicer.

the dean browning thing is bringing a much needed note of levity to my anxious day

i think it's kind of gross and creepy

funny like cronenberg, not charlie brown ya know

think about this.

the GOP is afraid of death threats *from their own voters*.

what a healthy, well-run party.

US defense official confirms: chief of staff Jen Stewart replaced by Kash Patel, a former Devin Nunes staffer who worked to discredit the Russia investigation. Also out, Vice Admiral Joseph Kernan, ret Navy SEAL who was Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence.

xpost - it's almost as if courting loonies and inciting violence at every turn when things don't pan out as you'd hoped might have consequences...

i've always said it: one man's narcissistic fantasy is not a stable basis for a national political party.

I never thought of Cronenberg and Charlie Brown as the two archetypes of funny before

well, welcome to school

Once Trump can see a 'path to losing' with his own eyes, he will embrace it. But not a moment before.

can't a Secret service member accidentally fall on top of Trump and accidentally choke him

it doesn't matter what he thinks anymore. that's the beauty of it.
