Still counting untallied...set aside and conveniently...or maybe now "not so conveniently" forgotten in The Land of The Hanging Chads (aka Florida) Both the Senate and Governor races so close now that State Law demands a recount.
The set aside ballots (no surprise) overwhelmingly Democrat.
Who saw that coming?
"If I can't win an election fair and square...I'll just cheat instead." (Rick Scott)
Who immediately tried to sue to stop the ballot counting.
And was denied.
Then tried to file suit to impound the machines.
And was denied.
Now it is all so close by State Laws they have to do a recount of EVERY vote.
And military ballots are counted until November 16th...
And amazingly this occurred in Georgia and Arizona as well.
I'm sensing a disturbing pattern here.
In fact, in Arizona it already changed the outcome and there were so many Democratic ballots that Krysten Sinema was declared the winner (flipped from the Republican running) and is our new Senator from Arizona!
Trump, of course, weighed in by saying that we should just let all the result stand.
See all those uncounted ballots...they represent individual voters. Each one is a person who showed up at the polls or voted absentee...American Citizens who expect to have a voice in our democracy...so no...I believe we will count...every...fucking...one...you Tang-Tinted POS.
(...especially since this ONLY occurred in The Red States...)
What a coincidence, eh?
And Twitler has been having a really tough time of it since Midterms, anyway.
Which MSNBC liken to a "cornered rat".
Since the election and the subsequent positive spin he tried to put on it...when even Fox News was lamenting how badly the GOP had been beaten. Trump has
Fired AG Jeff "Dobby...The House Elf" Sessions
Installed Whitaker...in clear violation of the 14th Amendment...this will right itself quickly, I'm thinking...and once again underscores that the only Amendment he or his rabid fan-base actually know is the 2nd one.
Screamed at several reporters...refused to answer basic questions...pulled Acosta's Press Access to the White House and threatened to pull others.
The First Amendment doesn't seem too clear to him either.
Maybe we need to send him a copy of The Constitution,,and someone to read it to him?
Yes...according to those around him, Donnie has been in terrible terrible form since Tuesday night.
This weekend he flew to Paris for Armistice Day. The 100th Year Ceremony. Everyone was there.
Except Lord Orange Uglystoke because OMFG...it was raining!!!!
Are you shitting me?
The 92 Year Old Queen of England was there...standing out in the rain.
Everyone was.
Except our ersatz POTUS.
At first they said it was because of his hair...
But there are umbrellas...and hats...and for godsake man you aren't fooling anyone with that damned FLAP anyway.
Cut the damned thing off.
Hell...shave your head and go full-on Heisenberg- but
quit with the glued down flap, already.
He showed up 2 hours late for the Dinner Ceremony.
Used his time at the hotel by TWEETING INSULTS about the California Wildfires.
Which is ironic when you realize only 2% of California isn't FEDERAL LAND.
That Trump CUT the budget for this land.
That California residents pay a disproportionate amount of Federal Income tax relative to the funds they receive yearly.
and that the most deadly to date The Camp Fire is not a forest fire but instead an edge fire engulfing homes and small towns.
Never mind that there are over 30 dead and over 100 still missing from these fires.
sigh
You can't fix stupid.
But as we learned in the Midterms...you can VOTE it out.
Today, he refused to Lay the Wreath or go to Arlington to honor our war dead.
You know what?
I don't want to hear one more of you TRUMPERS say one more word about
The Flag, 'MERIKA, or honoring The Troops...okay?
EVER.
Trump has troops cooling their heels at the border in substandard conditions missing Thanksgiving with their families for a Migrant Caravan which is dissipating every day and is still 1000 miles from our border. Used as a stunt for the election.
Most of these poor people won't even make the journey.
Trump took 5 deferments so he wouldn't have to serve in Vietnam...he didn't bother to honor the WWI war dead in France...or the war dead in Arlington...He has cut military benefits...has failed to honor the GI Bill...I'm beginning to think he doesn't give a shit about OUR TROOPS unless it is politically advantageous or gives him a photo op...
Looking forward to January when we seat the House...and there is a sheriff in town (at last).
More Anon...
UPDATE:
It has been much brighter politically today...
And here is why...in no particular order:
Neilson (the face of Kids in Cages) was just fired.
Mueller is in town with a Grand Jury and is handing out indictments like Oprah hands out cars.
"You get an indictment...you get an indictment...everybody gets an indictment today!"
Acosta just filed suit stating 1st and 5th Amendment Violations.
Whitaker just was given notice that Maryland filed suit stating 14th Amendment violations.
(...and we could have got away with it too...if it weren't for those kids and their pesky Constitution...)
Nancy Pelosi says The house is convening (reconvening) the committee on Climate Change.
and Sarah Sanders and John Kelly are resigning by the end of this year.

Donnie's week just got a little bit worse.
