Apropos of nothing, is anyone else struck by the photo of Trump’s head that the networks keep displaying next to the vote totals? It has such an obviously fake smile. I have quite literally never seen Trump smile like that, not once.
John Fetterman is my election hero. “If Trump tweeted ‘1+1=3’ The country would start debating if it was true.”
What announcement? Is Putin leaving? I thought they just re-wrote the constitution to let Putin stay for life.
Just in the last half hour trump has pooped out 4 tweets crying about the voting process (or 2 depending on how you count them, one is an epic 3-part rant). Twitter’s fact-checker must be sleeping in late because they haven’t been blocked yet.
In the epic 3-part one, he whines that vote count transparency is being “viciously and crudely” not allowed.
Military voting Democrat. Wow.
After news of Russian bounties not being condemned and the Captain Crozier debacle, I’m not surprised Trump lost Military support. Not to mention the treatment of Alexander Vindman.
British tabloid The Sun made that claim – for health reasons – but Putin denies it. 'Course, Putin’s doctors and Trump’s doctors have been saying almost exactly the same thing regarding the health of their patients.`
Yep, he’s gonna do a rabbit. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Perhaps he can finally put his time and energy into building that Trump Moscow Tower.
And why shouldn’t he make an effort to pack the Supreme Court? Trump did.
Speculation is that Putin has Parkinson’s.
It’s a bind for Murdoch. If you look at his media outlets in the UK they really like to back the winner and then he courts whoever’s in government. He’s become personal friends with almost every UK Prime Minister from both the left and the right. But Fox has become so commercially reliant on appealing to the right in the US it’s tough to break away from that. I think Murdoch is starting to play both sides of the silent debate within the right. Do they stay on the Trump train or will Republicans take another path? He will take Fox to whichever wins this battle and he’s making sure the network can go with whichever side wins out.
As for this election - had these states not been swing states some of these would have been called ages ago - especially PA. But the networks don’t want to be accused of bias so they are going to wait until the bitter end in most of these races.
- And dissing John McCain- “I like soldiers who weren’t captured”
- And attacking Gold Star families
- And the very believable second-hand account of calling dead soldiers “suckers and losers”
- And not visiting the military cemetery in France because of a light rain
Recently seen on the interwebs: “Only way Trump gets to 270 is if he looses 80lbs.”
That appeared in my Facebook feed yesterday. I’m not generally a big fan of making fun of people for their weight, but I’ll make an exception in Trump’s case.
Update: all 4 are blocked now. I feel bad for the poor twitter fact-checker: (waking up, yawning and stretching) let’s see what happened while I finally got a good night’s sleep…AH CRAP
Fuck that guy. He broke all the rules of common decency first.
Looks like Murdoch is done with Trump…
Sure, but it makes other fat people feel bad to read that sort of joke–to be reminded their weight it a target of mockery.
There’s literally no reason I’d pull my punches for Trump’s sake. But I don’t want to hurt other people, or make their physical body a short hand way to say that Trump is worthy of scorn.
Just checked the numbers at my condo in philly.
790 registered voters
156 voted in person.
From what I saw on the shuttle many people dropped mail in at city hall. Very easy, take shuttle to city hall, cross street, drop off ballot, cross street, get back on shuttle.
Depending on turn out my building could have 400 - 500 ish mail in.
Society Hill?
