they can't "cast electoral votes"

go take your geritol

We really are in the Alternate Trump Universe, where facts and reality mean nothing anymore. We are living/breathing it. It's fucking surreal that Bytor, Skunk et al are right here, right now, doing this bidding.

Fuck me.

so california just cast their electoral votes confirming biden has all the electoral votes he needs to be president (but we already knew this, so this is just a dance).

is beauregard f. peltor going to cunt off immediately per his lost bet? or will he continue screaming bullshit in all caps making sorry excuses for his pathetic continued presence?

you lost your bet a long time ago

Biden speaking now, and kicking some ass!!

Also bill barr “stepping down “ at this point it’s just an abject example that if you stick with this guy all the time and express any opposition when he’s acting crazy (even for him), you get ousted, is not only not surprising but totally irrrelevant at this point. It’s a sinking ship. The captain is just throwing people overboard. Sad!

Nice to have the literal most secure election in US history go off so smoothly with no fraud and a firm and decisive win for the candidate that’s not Trump.

From Fareed Zakaria's newsletter:

Quote:

Whither the GOP? Whither America?

Besides vaccine excitement, America’s other big story is the end of the Trump presidency, and commentators are a bit disturbed by how it’s going. At The New Yorker, Susan Glasser writes that as Republicans actively support (or stay quiet about) President Trump’s demand to “#OVERTURN” his election loss, their behavior is the most shocking thing to her. At The Atlantic, Ronald Brownstein writes of fears that the “Republican Party is on a continuum toward the kind of ‘democratic erosion’ visible in other countries, including Turkey under Recep Erdoğan, Hungary under Viktor Orbán, or, in the most extreme example, Russia under Vladimir Putin. In those nations, a party that wins office through a democratic election then seeks to use state power to tilt or completely undermine future elections.”

Assessing that what Richard Hofstadter called “the paranoid style in American politics” may be here to stay, in conspiracy theories and animus toward a purported “deep state,” Edward Luce writes for the Financial Times, of the Republican Party: “There is one simple test of whether Mr Trump’s grip will loosen. Mr Trump looks set to boycott Mr Biden’s inauguration next month. If senior Republicans follow his lead, the party will remain his. If they ignore him and show up, his spell will have broken.”

Clearly you don’t understand how a wager works, but congratulations to those of you who voted for Joe.

Trump antagonizes Republicans with Georgia fundraising ploy

Emails and texts raising cash for Trump's PAC have rankled Republicans, who want cash to flow directly to Georgia's endangered GOP senators.

Quote:

Trump’s aggressive fundraising blitz appears to be devoted to helping the party defend Georgia’s two Senate seats and, with them, the Senate majority. But the fine print shows that most of the proceeds are going toward Trump’s newly launched PAC, which he plans to use to fund his future political activities. Only a fraction is going to the Republican National Committee, which is investing $20 million into the runoffs.

[...]

When donors click on Trump’s emails and texts, they are directed to a site that urges donations of anything from $5 to $2,800. Lower down on the page, it notes that 75 percent of each donation goes to Trump’s political action committee, Save America, up to the first $5,000 given. Twenty-five percent then goes to the RNC, which paid for Trump's recent visit to the state.

Donors who give even more money can have their cash directed into a Trump legal fund or other accounts benefiting the RNC. But regardless of the amount given, none goes directly to the Georgia Senate candidates.

Cyco Mike wrote it many years ago:

Here comes another con hiding behind a collar
His only God is the almighty dollar
He ain't no prophet, he ain't no healer
He's just a two bit goddamn money stealer
Send me your money
Send it, you got to send it
Send me your money
You hear what I'm saying?
You got to send it, send it
Send me your money
