Maybe I’m just crazy, but I’ve been relaxed since the vote turned blue in Michigan and Wisconsin yesterday. I just… feel good. I feel like we’ve got this. I feel like Joe Biden has seasoned professionals around him while Donald Trump and his MAGA empire is nothing but a violent clown show. Speaking of, at some point yesterday, someone got Trump to stop tweeting crazy disinformation and I guess he spent fourteen hours sulking into some cheeseburgers. But now he is awake, and he wants people to stop counting ballots!
STOP THE COUNT!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2020
Just think, for a moment, about how this is such a next-level self-own. He is BEHIND in the count. Even if sh-t got crazy and every state stopped counting completely lawful votes and just went with the count they have now… that would mean Joe Biden would win. And again, Trump has no argument that any fraud or criminality is happening. He is merely telling the world that he doesn’t want votes to be counted because those votes hurt his baby feelings.
Trump’s Nazi supporters can’t even decide whether they want every vote to be counted or what.
Trump supporters: "Stop the vote!"

Anyway, I’ve been dying to post these two tweets, so here you go. I love both of these men so much.
THAT’S MY CITY

The “suburban housewives” of Atlanta are having their say, Orange Voldy, you won’t stop this count.
I love this comment so much, thank you hahahaha
Ha! Suck it trump and your creepy spawn too
So last night Rachel Maddow said the very same thing. I am loosely paraphrasing her here (with apologies) “so if you stop the count and your guy is already LOSING…” then she threw her hands up in the air.
I told MerlinsDad about the screams to stop the count and he said the exact same thing.
And I don’t know WHY it boggles my mind that these people can’t do simple math. Ugh.
(I also find it ironic that one of the dumpsters campaign signs says “no more bullshit”. But just like simple math, I suppose irony is lost on them as well)
I mean Trump had to pay for someone to take his college entrance tests so why are we presuming he can count?
Which of course is code for his batshit cult members to try and get out there and physically stop the vote. Just pathetic.
Appreciate the final pix of Rudy. The man who has to put his hands in his pants to count to 11.
LMAO! That was hilarious, Lori.
Michigander here Yay Go Blue!
Hardcore Ohio State fan here. But today, I will say it – Go Blue!!!
I’m down for him to concede now. Also a massive fuck yes to those videos of Detroit. Those people are brave and I have nothing but respect for them.
I loved both these videos too.
The man in the first video is so eloquent. That is how a real leader sounds and behaves.
I am humbled by what people are doing and their bravery.
Agree, I almost cried listening to him. Calm, emphatic, with reason and right on his side.
And then the second video!! He is not here for your bull$hit, MAGAts. None of us are. You lost. Accept that and start examining your life choices.
I haven’t slept, waiting for them to name Biden the winner! I love seeing all the Count con Count memes though. Lol
Oops von
Biden ‘s whitehouse needs to investigate Trump’s tax dollar use on his campaign and put him behind bars.
Biden’s WH needs to be scrubbed for COVID.
And fumigated. And have an exorcism performed to remove the evil stank.
The one where the dude screams “Black
Lives Matter” has been all over Twitter and I love it. Specifically the look of panic on that Karen’s face when she turns around to look at him.
The next time I read about Trump, I want it to be in connection to federal and state charges.
These fools honestly believe that absentee ballots should not be counted. Has anyone explained to them that military members that are fighting overseas have their ballots in these stacks? They believe these service members don’t deserve to vote?! How “patriotic” of them. They don’t care about this country, they only care about “winning” at all costs, even if that means cheating. God forbid their “team” loses a “game”. Its pathetic, scary, sad, and infuriating all at the same time.
OMG that video is hilarious – when the white woman turns with her shell-shocked eyes – that a black man is standing next to her. That’s a milk-spitting hilarious moment.
The Drumpf family has consistently shown their contempt for people who serve in the military. Denying members of the military the ability to vote is consistent with their anti-military beliefs.
I absolutely agree with you. Its these idiot Dump supporters screaming ‘stop the count’ that have no idea what they are actually saying about themselves.
Absentee ballots are also millions of Americans living abroad. I have lived in Canada since 2012 and voted that way 2 times now.
Moreover, they’re knowingly winning on a technicality since the American people have already twice voted against Trump as president. Their whole movement hinges on an outdated system that favors the minority. Even though I am very disappointed with how the Congressional races went, it will speak volumes about had to be done to overcome the voter suppression to get Biden in.
Sorry. Still worried. Still think this is the end of democracy.
Still disgusted that 2/3 of white people voted in favor of institutional racism and therefore against their own interests in: tax rates, healthcare affordable coverage, their own LGBQT family members, an lessening of the overwhelming thievery and corruption of the orange administration, and basic empathy and human decency.
But the two men in the video clips. They are our future, and they will make the future better, whether it be in big ways or small ways.
I think some people are able to turn a blind eye or not want to think about certain things for their own purposes. I know my father voted for Trump so his stocks and money will continually increase. Some old people (my father is Biden’s age) are narrowly focused on themselves. How do we teach them empathy for others they don’t know never met is the real problem..
To be honest, the increases among Latinos worry me just as much as white America. The latter can be expected, as repugnant as that sounds, because they have a vested interest in a system that benefits them above others. But Latinos are the largest growing ethnic demographic and a very politically complex one, and that is going to pose some serious problems that Democratic party needs to consider going forward. The Texas Hispanic vote made it clear they preferred Sanders in the primary, and they stuck to it, refusing to come out for Biden and even increasing support for Trump. Pandering is not going to work going forward (nor should it).
How can you vote for Sanders and Trump boggles my mind!! Also, if you are newish Latino immigrant or child of an immigrant, how you can vote for Trump is equally mind blowing.
As a side note, I have a friend who is dating a Mexican man in Canada. He claims more of his friends are working illegally under Trump’s administration in construction in the VA and DC area than before he was in office, which is interesting given his policies.
I’m the same. I will admit on Election Night I was hella stressed, my heart was pounding and my stomach was churning and emitting toxic gases, but I slept like a baby last night. I’m convinced Biden has got this. The only question is how many electoral votes BEYOND 270 he will get.
I really want Georgia to flip blue. FairFight and Stacey Abrams has done an awesome job there.
Please God let Georgia flip blue. I have voted in every election since I moved here in 2012, and besides elections for local leaders (Atlanta is always blue), I’ve always been bitterly disappointed. We are so close I am actually daring to hope this time.
Death by a thousand cuts (votes).
It’s time to get massive amounts of clorox and toothbrushes, “Take a room everyone. Let’s sanitize this bitch!” Then blow basil smoke everywhere. You know, to show anything lingering the front door.
I think an exorcism needs to be performed.
Where I live.. people burn white sage. I can offer some from our property.
Yeah we definitely need a native american shaman to burn some dried sage to cleanse this place. If it wasn’t such an historic building I would recommend demolition (and that’s coming from an architect!). That’s what is usually done when a structure has had evil within it. The memory lingers within the walls.
Sage! That’s what I meant lmao. All I knew is that it was a leafy herb. I need to learn reiki so I can reiki myself to sleep at night… while burning sage.
Basic math and science don’t make sense to Trump.
Okay Trumpy, so let’s stop the count.
Meet Mr Joe, he’s now the 46th president of these United States. Meet Ms Kamala, the very first woman VP of these same United States.
*cue to the sight of Trump screaming and dissolving into nothingness like the wicked witch of the east*
Kodak moment.
I’m not going to be happy until Biden is officially declared winner. It DOES make me feel better to see that no one really seems to be indulging his temper tantrums except his cult worshippers and his kids and Giuliani. All the other rats seem to be deserting the sinking ship so far.
What does not make me happy, and will make this seem like a hollow victory is already the talk about reaching across the aisle and bipartisanship. WHY? Complete and total nonsense – the GOP spent 8 years blocking everything Obama tried to do and the last four year cramming through every evil thing they wanted because they had the majority and none of them gave a single fuck about reaching across the aisle. Why are we playing this game AGAIN?
Not to mention there is already complaining that if the more progressive people within the party had just dialed it back, the win would have already happened. How do the Democrats keep ending up being their own worst enemy???
So I just learned about the right wing Twitter replacement “Parler”. Apparently Trump’s followers and Fox commentators are trying to get him to leave Twitter to sign up on Parler.
Part of me is relieved – he should have been off Twitter ages ago. But the other part of me is terrified. Social media, particularly isolated, single-minded social media, becomes an echo chamber amplifying extremism to a horrifying degree. Nothing good can come of this.
LOL I had to laugh how the Trumpsters covered their face when they realized they would be on Film where Black Lives Matter is being shouted. Good for that young man for standing up. (The last video). I also loved what the other gentlemen said about Detriot voices and votes. # democracy # blacklivesmatter
God, that last video had me in tears in the best way.
Please remember after this that black voters, especially Detroit, won us this election. Hold your Trump-voting family members and friends accountable. Do not fall back into blissful ignorance, and do not let down all of the amazing black men and women who showed up for Biden in this election.
