There was a red mirage early on election day counting. We expected that. The Trumpies didn't mail-in.

We already knew that Trump was going to declare victory early, then cry FRAUD as mail-ins got counted.

Nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has gone off script here.

But it sure would be nice if there wasn't millions upon millions of koolaiders who hang onto every bullshit word that Fuckface spews.

I went to Fox News for 10sec that I will never get back.

There seems to be no social distancing at these parties!!! :)

But seriously though, from what I see, most have masks.

Donald Trump: 70,598,535 - 47.7%

Joe Biden: 74,857,880 - 50.6%

Not just once, but twice, the American people voted less for Trump.

(In civilized countries we call this "The Vote".)

:cool:

While you're there, track 14 is also fitting

Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess
I say, the coming of Joe is near

:D

Mike Pence sure has been quiet lately, hasn't he?

His Joeness will soon speak!!

!@#$%! 11.07.2020 07:44 PM

now seriously let’s brace ourselves for how many days of rage that will follow?

the obese turtle will pardon himself preemptively, as well as every corrupt acolyte who pays him, destroy whatever he can, maybe start some shit up abroad.

Skuj 11.07.2020 08:13 PM

We are in the fucking Twilight Zone. Trump will ensure that he goes down in flames, instead of shocking us all with some late stage epiphany.

70 fucking days of raging pandemic.

I'm seeing the crowd awaiting Joe. I haven't seen this in 4 years. It's a very different kind of crowd than we see at the Trumpy rallies. It's actually shocking to see this.

Foxnews posted the following article:

Flashback: Trump in October said, 'Could you imagine if I lose?'


That Biden tweet is brilliant (not new, from October 17)!!!


Speech is starting!

Skuj 11.07.2020 08:46 PM

Let's face it: After 4 very depressing/traumatic years, us "blue" people feel liberated. The whole mood is going to change. Joe's giving a great speech.

!@#$%! 11.07.2020 09:01 PM

that was a nice fucking speech. such a relief!

It was a nice speech, speaking of reconciliation and reuniting the people. And at noon today I was at the State House here in Providence, where I saw a small group of Trump supporters with signs saying "Stop the Steal", while a larger group of Biden supporters were peacefully and politely demonstrating without anger or rudeness towards the Trump supporters, thus pleasantly distinguishing themselves from the forty thousand people I witnessed demonstrating in Boston Common against free speech in August of 2017 with a large Antifa contingent. I attended today's demonstration(s) as an observer rather than as a partcipant, and was heartened by what I saw.

And, yet, there's this:

Leftists, Never Trumpers Begin Compiling Lists of Trump Supporters

(And, yes, it's Breitbard, but READ it and tell me which facts are incorrect.)

Robert Schunk 11.07.2020 09:58 PM

Anyways, should litigation fail, there's always the issue of Kamala Harris' Article II, Section 1 eligability for the office of Vice President, as both of her parents were, at the time of her birth on American soil, present in this country on student visas, which, quite explictily, do not grant US domicile, whereas the language of United States v. Wong Kim Ark states, in affirming Mr. Wong's US citizenship under the principle of jus soli (i.e., birthright citizenship due those born within the US of foreign-born non-citizen parents):

"[A] child born in the United States, of parents of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil [sic] and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China [...]".

***

The issue with Senator Harris' common-law citizenship (elsewhere distinguished from statutory citizenship within the Constitution) is that neither of her parents were US domiciliaries at the time of her birth (i.e., a student visa is not a "green card").

there's still time for some sort of Ebeneezer Scrooge moment for Trump, but we aren't so lucky.

Actually, the smartest thing that President Trump could do is to complete the construction of the Mexican border wall to the extent he is able given whatever time he might have. That will put the Democrats (and establishment Republicans) in the position of proving their complicity with the corporations in supplying cheap labor by means of their highly visible dismantling of the wall, which will not be reported by the corporate media, but will reach the Amereican people via alternative media.

Considering he's had four years to do that I can't see it happening somehow.
