Day: November 8, 2020

It’s been a hell of a ride!

First there was the whole #stopthecount thing. But only in some states (where he is winning) but not others (where he’s trailing). Except that advisors told Drumpf that this would cost him the election there and then, so the counting continued.

Then there was Greta Thunberg’s revenge tweet that was a year in the making.

Then there was the whole “if they only count the legal votes, I win” delusion – where in Drumpfland the only legal votes are for him, and anything else is illegal and shouldn’t count. Except that this is not how democracy works, and some of the saner republicans start pointing this out.

Then the some media channels actually cut him off mid-rant because they couldn’t deal with the lies anymore and CNN’s Anderson Cooper said, on live TV, a quote that I hope will forever be associated with the Drumpf presidency.

Then even Fox News declared Biden president-elect, and the #maga mob lost it – turning on Foz news like a pack of hunting dogs and declaring it anathema, and mainstream media-ish. Drumpf supposedly contacted Rupert Murdoch directly to complain about the coverage. So sad.

And now Drumpf, showing his standard colours, refuses to concede and is threatening to unleash the dogs of War, er litigation, come Monday and sue everyone and everything in sight. But so far, no substantive evidence has been presented, some lawsuits have already been dismissed and the experts seem to say that this will not be a repeat of 2000/Florida because the results of several states would need to be reversed – the legal standing of such challenges being shaky and dubious. Still, who the fuck knows what will happen.

The electoral college is supposed to vote on Dec 14th. Let’s see if we can survive this coming week without bloodshed… And this is only in the last 3 days!
