I don’t care if he’s the president. He waits in line just like everyone else. We should send MERIT over there to kick his ****ing ass.

Marie Monday 11-05-2020 03:19 PM

Why MERIT, of all (ex)-MB members?

OccultHawk 11-05-2020 03:20 PM

Plus 5:30 is after business hours. That’s ****ed up. Seriously.

You don’t remember the ass kicking for the dude who jumped in line thing?

Marie Monday 11-05-2020 03:24 PM

no, was I around back then?

OccultHawk 11-05-2020 03:27 PM

I don’t know

I do know that being able to file a federal lawsuit and getting a hearing in a single day after business hours is preferential treatment

That is not business as normal

That’s the action of people trying to push this bull**** through

It’s big time ****ed up

Marie Monday 11-05-2020 03:37 PM

It is. Not that anyone even needs an excuse like that to justify giving Trump an ass-kicking

OccultHawk 11-05-2020 03:41 PM

AZ

That’s with 12% of the votes uncounted and the Times still refuses to call it saying it’s too soon

I know I’m probably mostly alone on this opinion but I think that speech Trump just gave is probably going to keep him in power. He’s playing so many angles and only one has to pan out. He’s got like a dozen arguments that any losing candidate could make but it puts him in the position of a field goal kicker who gets multiple tries and winning the election is just one of them.

Every argument he has is idiotic and absurd but he only needs one sympathetic judge. People might disagree with me but once it’s in the courts he almost can’t lose. Justice is entirely irrelevant.

The people need to be ready for war.

I think you have Maine backwards. Biden has 3 electoral votes there, Trump has 1.

I keep seeing this meme but I don't get it. Is "the rest of the world watching" supposed to be mind-controlling "Americans waiting for the election results" into a non-consensual sexual relationship? That seems pretty horrifying.

The Batlord 11-05-2020 10:15 PM

I think it's the rest of the world expecting something serious from us and we're just ashamed and can't look them in the eye.

You're such a nerd. [I started to watch the first season but lost interest half way through]

I think it just represents how angry the rest of us are that you made the last 4 years possible and threatening to kill you with our laser beam eyes if you allow it to happen again.

Holy fuck, the difference in Georgia is only 665 votes with 50k remaining to count??


Btw, is this the longest count ever anywhere in the universe??? HIRE MORE PEOPLE TO COUNT, JESUS!!

Though I'm not entitled to your proud possessive adjective, I can share your pleasure in seeing Biden slowly pulling ahead in Georgia. Those earlier predictions of a red mirage and the inexorable blue mail-ins are proving correct in most of the remaining battleground states, so those margins should improve as counting goes on.

As for Trump's claims of fraud etc, I'm hoping they will evaporate for lack of substance, plus lack of support:-

Quote:

A source close to the White House said it's becoming apparent that GOP officials are beginning to lose patience with some of President Trump's behavior as he baselessly claims fraud is robbing him of the presidency.

Trump is "bleeding GOP support," said the source, who described the President's complaints as an "ambulance chasing routine."
Sadly, fresh from his re-election, Loathsome Lindsey is already demonstrationing the declared GOP policy of unquestioning loyalty to Trump:

Quote:

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close ally of the President and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, defended Trump on Thursday evening and echoed his baseless claims of voter fraud. "I'm here tonight to stand with President Trump," the South Carolina Republican told Fox News' Sean Hannity.

Good explanation on why the count is taking so long (and who exactly is at fault). Zing!

Yeah, I assume that's the intent, I'm just saying it's a weird choice of image given what is actually going on between those two characters.

I don't know, but based on my experience with civil servants, they're not going to want to come in on Monday early to deal with this.

My money is on "yes."
