Hear that subtle tapping sound ? He’s cutting up lines of Adderall. He looks and sounds _very_ tired. AND like an idiot. ---

It’s kind of cool that we’re just minutes or hours away from having our first female vice-president (elect) who’s also African-American and nobody’s making a big deal about it. Who would of imagined that fifty years ago? ---

He sounds thoroughly deflated. Fucking GOOD. ---

While I hope it will be true I doubt it. At the very least Trump will be on the money-grubbing circuit, pulling in cash for Republican candidates. I’m guessing he’ll still be an endorsement worth pursuing in the 2022 congressional voting. ---

His heart isn’t even in this. He knows he lost. Just whining as he transitions from the President of the United States to the President of the Poor Me Club. ETA: OMG > ---

CNN still has him on, but they’re likely to fact check him later, as they often do. ---

For me, it’s not whether you were reporting half-remembered rumors or not–that’s sometimes gonna happen at times like this. My issue with your post is you didn’t explain what or who you were talking about. It made no sense. ---

Wow, this is by far the most dejected behavior I have ever witnessed from Trump. It’s actually pretty remarkable to see because it’s so unlike his usual attitude. He’s throwing out some obligatory denial but even that is very half-assed. ---

Watching the pa returns is like watching an aircraft carrier turn. Ever so slowly toward Biden. Philadelphia freedom is a good song choice, as phila and the surrounding counties are going to push the election toward Biden.
