PA update

they're going to keep counting into the night

based on the totals and ratios that the poll workers are seeing, they are predicting Biden will pass Tr*mp at 4 or 5 AM

NOBODY PANIC
(obvs that's 4 or 5 AM Eastern time, so 1 or 2 AM for us on the Pacific coast)
that small update out of PA earlier was 1,452 votes

guessing small red county(?) since Biden and Tr*mp split it 49-51%
GA update -- 16,000 votes outstanding in GA as a whole

Clayton County want to have final results by midnight EST

HE'S CURRENTLY GETTING 85% IN THAT COUNTY

Tr*mp's lead is now 1,805 -- up 30 from the last update

Gwinnett County is done counting for tonight, along with 7 or 8 other counties that have not reported
apparently Tr*mp's aides really REALLY tried to get him to keep a low profile -- and REALLY didn't want him to say any of his nonsense

lulz
An aide has said that Tr*mp just plans to try to be as much of an irritant in the side of Joe Biden as he can if he loses

as for the Tr*mp family, they want to be/stay big players in R*publican politics even if they lose

kind of hard to do that from jail, but hey you do you

Delaware County has turned off the lights in their counting facility RIP us

Philly, however, is working through the night because they have compassion for our poor nerves

All*gheny is counting tomorrow too
8.5 hours until Maricopa County dumps all those numbers on us R I P
59,000 absentee ballots left to count in Philly -- Biden is getting 80.4% of the NORMAL vote . . . but he's been getting 91% of the absentees

Philly police, acting on a tip, have arrested several people (and found at least one weapon) who were plotting to attack the convention center where the count was going on

just a note -- watching all of this and doomscrolling is way better with the SW or Mass Effect soundtracks in the background

DOOM also works

Biden Campaign update

They're still feeling good about GA, PA, AZ, and NV, so they're basically planning on hitting 270 today (Friday)
look, maybe I'm just losing it, but every time I see one of the news guys who've been up all night drawing with their fingers on their little magic boards, this is all I see
all right, everyone

while we're waiting for more numbers, respond with a gif that describes your current mental state
So Al*x Jones (out of state provocateur) is leading a hundred or so people, some armed -- yet again -- outside the Maricopa County Elections office

after getting threats in the newsroom, reporters have ballistic vests on and are standing verrrrrrry far away

MSNBC anchor just said "wait, what day is it?" and I have never related so much
MSNBC says there are 160,000 votes left to count in PA -- he's pretty tired, and so am I, but I trust him
btw, guys, I really do appreciate so much every single one of you who've supported me and bought me a ko-fi -- when this shitshow is over, I'm going to shout-out and thank each one of you individually, I promise 🙏
oh my gods, Adam the MSNBC Producer is my new best friend

he's hiding behind the magic wall board with a computer, and any time there is literally any update in vote counts, he gets a quick alert with which county, totals, and breakdown and he yells in the analyst's ear 🤣
Adam is me except I'm in my pajamas and have a bowl of ñoquis next to me while I feverishly crunch numbers in 11 tabs
completely unrelated, I want an adaptation of A Muppet Christmas Carol where The Count haunts Tr*mp as the ghost of ballots past

except, you know, no happy ending for him

he's so freaked out that he gives away all (little) of his money and yeets himself into the sun
on a more serious note, CNN is pointing out that Stacey Abrams is an absolute hero -- between 2018 and today, she and her team registered over 800,000 people to vote in GA 😱😱😱
MSNBC anchor: SORRY, I'M FEELING A LITTLE TWITCHY IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN NUMBERS FROM PHILLY IN H O U R S

I'm feeling such kinship with these loopy, exhausted children

sure, I'm up and loopy too, but I don't have to wear makeup or clothes

All*gheny County has 36,000 ballots left to count

29,000 of them cannot be counted until 5 PM eastern today (friday) bc of the frivolous lawsuit stuff
GA UPDATE

they believe with provisionals and everything, there are roughly 10,000 votes left to count

Gwinnette (blue county) has 4,000 of them and will update us in the morning (no, I don't know when)

he loses GA, he loses ANY remaining path to 270
HEY
HEY
HEYYYYYYYYY
GOODBYYYYYYYYYYE)
Oh yeah, those votes that were just released in GA?

1,824 ballots tallied

BIDEN WON 1602 OF THEM
THAT'S 88%

Tr*mp literally took ONLY 222
You know what else this affects?

Perdue is down to 49.8% -- 2,449,468 to Ossoff's 2,350,882

RUN
OFF

(okay, it's still not set in stone, but it's looking more likely)
these MSNBC anchors being like I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET PHILLY UPDATES WHILE WE WERE HERE HURRY REFRESH IT REFRESH IT is such a mood

isn't it so lovely that we can revel in our shared trauma together 🤣
all kidding aside, it's 5 AM in GA

can you imagine how freaking exhausted everyone must be???

you glorious, glorious poll workers -- take a long, hot bath and sleep for the next 24 hours

also get snacks
ohmygods and most of them don't even know if they are getting paid -- they legit volunteered without knowing if they were going to get paid

like . . . yes, sure, patriotism but also PAY YOUR WORKERS ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VAST MAJORITY ARE BLACK WOMEN YOU OWE THEM
PA update -- many of the counties will begin counting again in 4 hours

Philly is just going to update us whenever Philly damn well pleases
Remember that AZ is planning on dropping all those Maricopa County votes in 6 hours

NV is taking its sweet time but will drop at least 51,000 mail-in ballots in 7 hours
I'm going to try and get those 6-7 hours of sleep (dammit Philly you beautiful tease), buuuuuuuuuut if my phone HAPPENS to update something, you might see me randomly pop on and then fall back asleep 🤣
Mmmmmmfgmdhbdshbk okay okay I'm awake

Mostly 😅
Okay, will do a numbers update (lol for myself mostly, I'm guessing), but Georgia has confirmed they're going to do a recount ImageImage
AZ UPDATE!!!!!!

THEY JUST CALLED THE RACE FOR MARK KELLY!!
okay, crunching these quickly -- PA numbers

Biden: 3,301,176
Tr*mp: 3,292,149

Biden's lead is 9,027
AZ numbers

Biden: 1,561,147
Tr*mp: 1,517,368

Biden's lead is 43,779
AZ numbers continued

Kelly: 1,600,322
McSally: 1,497,199

they called the race for Mark Kelly with a lead of 103,123
GA numbers

Biden: 2,450,150
Tr*mp 2,448,565

Biden's lead is 1,585
So Biden leads in

AZ -- 43,779
GA -- 1,587
NV -- 11,438
PA -- 9,027
NEVADA UPDATE

Biden: 624,246
Tr*mp: 602,170

Biden now leads by 22,076 -- 10,638 more than 30 seconds ago 🙏

Of the Clark County ballots just released . . .
Biden won 19,995
Tr*mp won 9,357
More Nevada numbers set to drop in half an hour
With Mark Kelly's projected win, Democrats now have 48 Senate seats, and R*publicans have 47

There are still 5 seats to go, but 2 of them (both in GA) are going to run-offs unless something absolutely random happens
tiny PA update

Biden: 3,301,245
Tr*mp: 3,292,378

Biden's lead is 8,867, down 160 from before on this tiny vote dump
GA will update more and have a press conference in 3 hours (3 PM eastern)
Biden currently leads in the popular vote by 4,117,328

Biden: 73,900,082
Tr*mp: 69,782,754
small NV update

Biden: 624,539
Tr*mp: 602,398

Biden's lead is 22,141, an increase of 65 from a v smol vote dump
Guessing these 521 NV ballots were from a small county -- Clark County (where 90% of the remaining ballots are) tends to do updates by the tens of thousands

293 went to Biden
228 went to Tr*mp

REALLY WISH THAT WAS THE ELECTORAL COUNT BUT NOBODY'S PERFECT
NV update -- 4,921 ballots just dropped (most likely not Clark County)

Biden: 626,203
Tr*mp: 605,655

Biden took 1,664
Tr*mp took 3,257

Biden's lead is 20,548 -- down 1,593 from a few minutes ago

expect that number to change drastically once Clark County does another drop
small PA update of 2,617

Biden: 3,302,977
Tr*mp: 3,293,231

Biden won 1,732 -- 66.2%
Tr*mp won 853 -- 32.6%

Biden's lead is now 9,746 -- up 879 from the last little dump
Philly set to do a press conference and briefing in 30 min or so

they should be giving us a timeline as well as the number of outstanding ballots

the count has slowed down there because many of the remaining ballots are provisional ones with "issues"
PA update

the 29,000 ballots that have been in limbo in Allegheny County will be available to count at 5 PM Eastern today -- those may take a couple days to count, but no set timeline
Biden Campaign update

he doesn't want to get ahead of himself, so we will not be seeing him until AT EARLIEST primetime -- and only if there's a call or very close to one

the mood inside the campaign is described as "jubilant"
by contrast, R*publicans are abandoning the WH ship in droves with more and more of them calling Tr*mp out for being dangerous and unhinged
apparently the situation has been Tr*mp making random claims and then allies and aides scrambling to try and catch up and produce literally any kind of evidence to back it up
Tr*mp campaign has also been looking for a "field general" (like unto James Baker, who handled W Bush's recount)

(and here's my favorite part) There has been NO talk of concession because "no one is willing to tell King Lear the truth"
New pre-celebration drinking game (non-alc for me) -- take a swig every time anyone on CNN says "the president's spawn"
ahhhh, interesting

hearing right now that Defense Secretary Mark Esper has prepared a resignation letter
WELP

the first news outlet has (EXTREMELY PREMATURELY) called the race for Biden by calling PA for him Image
Mitt, my man, if only you had been consistent with your convictions over the past four years -- I would like you a lot more Image
Philly news conference

okay, he's just congratulating Philly and Philadelphians for being Awesome™️ while giving the middle finger to Tr*mp

"some, including the president, have continued to spew baseless accusations of fraud"
GA update

Biden: 2,450,186
Tr*mp: 2,448,626

Biden leads by 1,560 -- down 27 votes from the last update
ah, Discount Palpatine AKA Yertle the Turtle, Faustus, and Madame du HandWring have spoken

well, that settles that, hm? 🙄 Image
PA update

there are 45,000 ballots remaining in Philly (includes 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots), and they want to give a big update this afternoon (no set time)

this count could take several days to complete because Philly loves to torture us
PA update

Biden: 3,307,724
Tr*mp: 3,295,334

Biden leads by 12,390 -- up 2,644 from about half an hour ago

these 6,850 ballots were from Lehigh County

Biden won 4,747 -- 69.2%
Tr*mp won 2,103 -- 30.7%
All riiiiiiiight top of the hour, my chickadees

Reply with a gif of how you are feeling rn
oh NEVADA

remember when they said they were going to release 51,000 ballots?

S Y K E

the ballot was so long (nearly 2 pages) that the scanner was reporting PAGE NUMBERS, not ballots

there are actually only 30,000 ballots dropping today
in any case, there are still 63,000 ballots to go plus 60,000 provisional ballots that they will begin to review today

as far as ballots that need to be cured, they have until 12th

NV will now be reporting 2 times a day -- and they have no idea how many they're dropping
I feel for this Nevada guy -- he has to answer questions every day about why his state is looking like the slowest and least competent one in the union (PAGE NUMBERS MY GODS🤣🤣🤣) when they rank 33rd out of 50 in population
Las Vegas: we have software that can detect whether or not someone is cheating or counting cards in real time

also Las Vegas: yeah um our scanner told us page numbers and not ballots and we didn't think to check it
(yes, I am fully aware that one of these is privately funded with a shit-ton of money and the other is publicly funded -- by which I mean UNDERfunded

still funny XD)
WH update

the marine guard came to stand in front of the west wing

they stayed there for 10 min and then left 🤣

so yeah, Tr*mp was in the oval office for a grand total of 10 min and is now back in the residence watching TV and complaining that not enough people support him
Within the west wing, aides are trying to manage Tr*mp's frustration

Mark Meadows is nodding and agreeing and feeding the fantasy that the election is being stolen -- many aides apparently do not believe this is helpful

Others . . . are now job hunting (I shit you not) 🤣
PA update

Biden: 3,310,256
Tr*mp: 3,296,885

Biden's lead is 13,371 -- up 981 from half an hour ago

next batch of ballot numbers from Maricopa County will come at 9 PM eastern (6 PM for me)

they still have 140,000 left to count
AZ still has 70,000 outside of Maricopa

WH update

Tr*mp has put out a milquetoast statement -- likely after getting so much pushback on his meltdown yesterday

an excerpt

- this fight is for full transparency, not about any one election, and about the integrity of the entire election process
- we will pursue this process through every aspect of the law so people have confidence in our government

- I will never give up fighting for you and our nation

MSNBC legal analyst says they hope this represents a turn of the page for him

LUUUUUUUUULZ
hey guys

do you think this represents a turning point for Tr*mp?
CNN interviewing one of the voting officials in PA

when asked why it was taking so long, he point-blank said it was because they weren't allowed to start counting ballots until election day, unlike states that could process as they received them
he says he hopes the state legislature changes this before the next election(s) -- apparently the PA governor tried to work with the R*publican legislators to change it, saying that if he did _____, they would allow it . . . but they kept changing their minds and walking it back
GA update

they're closing in on the final count and are confirming that there will be a recount because of the small margin separating Biden and Tr*mp
it is very possible that we won't know a FINAL final result from GA until after Thanksgiving hahahahaha FML
veeeeeeeery small GA update

Tr*mp: 3,297,807

Biden leads by 13,558 -- up 187 from 10 minutes ago
That was a dump of 940 from Bucks County

Biden won 587 -- 62.4%
Tr*mp won 353 -- 37.6%

Tr*mp would have to win 56% of the remaining votes in PA to win

he ain't gonna

teehee
okay, I'm only going to do GA updates over 100 🤣 -- they just dropped like 19 votes into the count, and I'm staring into the camera
NV update -- another small county dump of 2,213 ballots

AZ update

3,865 ballots from Mohave County (very red county with a population of 212K)

Biden: 1,561,841
Tr*mp: 1,520,539

Biden leads by 41,302 -- down 2,477 from 3 hours ago
Of the 3,865 ballots,
Biden won 694
Tr*mp won 3,171

Considering how red the county is, this isn't a surprise by any stretch

The bulk of outstanding ballots are still in Maricopa -- as is 60% of the voting population of AZ
PA update

GOP in PA have asked the Supreme Court to "log, segregate, and not take any action on ballots received after election day"
Guess how many ballots were received after election day

2,500-3,000

yeah

under three thousand in a state Dems predict Biden will win by anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000

GOP lawyers are saying WELL MAYBE NOT EVERYONE COUNTED RIGHT
Tr*mp's strategy is apparently to try and tie things up until Dec

inside campaign and WH, though, many are "quietly backing away" after last night's "disaster" because they are "nervous that he's going too far"

lol NOW they say that??
CNN WH reporter says even though Tr*mp is all fired up and ready to fight, most aides and staff are not willing to get behind the effort

The ones who ARE behind it admit wanting to see more credible voices than G*uliani et al out there to represent them
The Biden campaign, by contrast, isn't responding to the slew of lawsuits because they view them as frivolous, without merit, and not worth the effort

GA holding a press conference soon to update us
PHILLY MY GODS

they just said at a news conference that Tr*mp "needs to put his big boy pants on acknowledge that he lost and congratulate the winner"
Can I just say NV is taking its sweet sweet time for a state that has the 4th lowest amount of electoral votes 🤣

(several states have three, four, or five)

-- says the girl from the state with the highest amount 😅
GA update press conference

this bro is S A L T Y
wonder if he's gotten any sleep lately . . .

current totals
Biden: 2,450,385
Tr*mp: 2,448,782

Biden's lead is 1,603

there are about 4,000 regular votes and roughly 13,000 provisional ballots still to count
In Fulton County *alone* -- there were 4,869 provisional ballots, of which they accepted 3,603

the remaining were rejected because they were out of county (680), not actually registered to vote (573), or non-citizens (13)
Best part of the press conference, though, was the man correcting how "all you Yankees" pronounce the various county names 🤣🤣🤣

IT'S NOT "HYOO-stuhn" IT'S "HOW-stuhn"
IT'S NOT "de-KAHLB" IT'S "de-KAB"

Tr*mp is still watching TV, still angry and frustrated, and still complaining that not enough people are defending him on tv

VP and others are calling and soliciting for funding for recounts/lawsuits

The most incredible part of these numbers is that these votes came from Westmoreland County

That's a red county that Tr*mp is winning 64% of the vote

BUT

61% of those ballots that just came in . . . were for Biden

A reminder that Democrats have an 8-seat majority in the House

Democrats have 48 seats in the Senate
R*publicans have 47 or 48 depending on whether Perdue/Ossoff goes to a run-off (looking more and more likely)

oh, and Democrats ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WHITE HOUSE

okay brb in 20 min -- gonna go pick up said shahi korma

GA update

CNN reports while we're waiting for military ballots that there has been a trend of active military voters toward Biden since 2016 because
- these voters tend to be younger
- Tr*mp's been a dick about the military
- Biden's the father of a vet

Biden won 2361 -- 50.3%

That's closer to the ratio he needs, but this is in a RED county -- he's barely performing to what he needs in what should be a much more friendly county to him

whenever you see these small vote dumps in GA, NV, PA, and AZ, it is likely (not 100%, but a fair assumption) that they are coming from smaller red counties

the fact that Biden is performing as well as he is in those is kind of amazing

in the last 24 hours, a growing number of aides have been telling Tr*mp to prepare himself for losing this election and that no matter how many legal challenges he throws at Biden's lead, it's probably not enough to make a difference

AZ update

MARICOPA COUNTY IS IN

Biden: 1,604,067
Tr*mp: 1,574,206

Biden leads 29,861 -- down 6,955 from half an hour ago

Yeah, that looks ugly af, but it's not the blowout Tr*mp needed to catch up
Maricopa County is expected to drop 65,000 more ballots tomorrow morning

tonight's dump was 69,821

Biden won 31,433 -- 45%
Tr*mp won 38,388 -- 55%

as I said, it's not the blowout he needed

let me show you why
HYPOTHETICALLY

if Tr*mp picks up the same proportion of votes tomorrow morning . . .

Biden will win 29,250
Tr*mp will win 35,750

which would HYPOTHETICALLY make the total tally

Biden: 1,633,317
Tr*mp: 1609,956

Biden would still have a 23,361 lead at that point
AZ has 173,000 votes left to be counted

92,000 of those are in Maricopa

47,000 of those are provisional ballots that cannot be counted until Tuesday, Nov 10th

Secretary of State says there are likely no more Maricopa County numbers coming tonight
SO

following the logic from earlier

if Tr*mp HYPOTHETICALLY won 55% of ALL the remaining votes

Biden would win 77,850
Tr*mp would win 95,150

that would HYPOTHETICALLY make the final total

Biden: 1,681,917
Tr*mp: 1,669,356

Biden would STILL hypothetically lead by 12,561
The AZ Secretary of State says provisional ballots tend to skew Democratic in AZ history, but she can't speculate with certainty this year

ALSO worth noting -- not all of those provisionals will end up being counted bc they have to be cured/fixed/corrected etc
Tr*mp campaign says they expect to win AZ by 30,000 votes

that's some interesting math 🤣

assuming EVERY provisional ballot is counted (they won't be, but I'll show maximum generosity to the Tr*mp campaign just to show how stupid this math is), let's game this out
3,178,273 ballots have been tallied in AZ
Biden has 1,604,067 of those
Tr*mp has 1,574,206 of those

AZ has 170,000 votes left

adding all of that together results in roughly 3,348,273 total AZ votes in the end
Tr*mp is winning 48.7% of the vote

if he continues that ratio (48.7% x 3,348,273), he'll end up with roughly 1,630,609 votes

Biden is winning 49.6% of the vote

if he continues that ratio (49.6% x 3,348,273), he'll end up with roughly 1,660,743

congrats Biden wins AZ by 30,134
you guys still with me?
For Tr*mp to win by ONE vote -- just one! -- he needs to win 1,674,138 total votes ((3,348,273 / 2) + 1)

since he currently has 1,574,206 votes, he would need to win 99,932 of the remaining 170,000 votes

Which means he needs to get 58.78% of the remaining votes to win by ONE
(calculated that 58.78% by doing 99,932 / 170,000 in case you're following the math)

AND

that is assuming that all 170,000 votes are turned in -- which they won't be

meaning the actual theoretical percentage would have to be even higher
is it THEORETICALLY possible for Tr*mp to win nearly 60% of the remaining votes in AZ?

I mean, sure, nothing's impossible

Is it trending that way, though?

NOPE

as I said, he's averaging 48.7% right now

in the latest Maricopa County dump, he averaged 55%

🤔🤔🤔

Uncle Joe and Kamala onstage now
right off the bat -- WE ARE NOT DECLARING VICTORY
the numbers say we will but WE ARE NOT MAKING A FINAL STATEMENT

mostly talking about legacy stuff rn

- we rebuilt the blue wall
- we're going to win AZ for dems for the first time in 24 years, GA for the first time in 28 years
- we've gotten more votes than any presidential ticket ever (that's gotta absolutely kill the cheeto)
- we're waiting for final results, but we're not waiting to get to work (referring to covid and economic briefings, among others)
- empty chairs at empty tables (Les Mis ftw)
- we're going to put our covid plan into action on Day 1
- he references an economic plan -- actually interested in that
- remain calm and patient and let the process work out
- democracy works (lol no it doesn't when you have voter suppression and shit)
- disagreements are healthy, but we have to remember the point of our politics is not total unrelenting unending warfare
- we may be opponents but not enemies (I mean, gotta disagree when it comes to Pr*ud Boys and N*zis)
- we have to agree to be civil to each other (mmmmmm....?)
- the familiar line -- "I'll work as hard for those who voted against me as I will for those who voted for me"
- there's no reason we can't own the 21st century
- there's never been anything we (America) haven't been able to accomplish when we do it together
doesn't look like Kamala is going to be speaking, alas, but I'm glad Joe is staying chill and trying to keep everyone else chill even if I don't agree with some of it

it's smart, though -- I don't blame him one bit for preaching a message of civility and peace
if I wanted to calm everyone down and not have everything go to shit, that's exactly what I would say, no matter how much I did or didn't agree

CNN is commenting that he has visibly and rhetorically made the transition from candidate to president-elect
He did say that this (eventual victory) is a mandate on racism, covid, and climate change

so I'm glad he's looking at the big picture too -- and acknowledging the left and not just the middle
One of the most notable things had to be the fact that he didn't mention Tr*mp at all

that's going to make Tr*mp I R A T E

the only thing worse than bad publicity for him is no publicity 😉
Low bar, but I particularly liked the part where he spoke in complete sentences and didn't ramble -- short, sweet, to-the-point, and not a single word wasted

he said exactly what he wanted to say -- and exactly what he needed to say

no more, no less
someone give that man's speechwriter(s) a raise

and between Biden's victory and election day, give them a vacation somewhere in a cabin in the mountains with no internet

they're going to update us twice tomorrow, just like AZ

The lawsuit in NV was denied too -- I'm a fan
WH update

lol there isn't much of one

Tr*mp's legal team and advisers are telling him to shut up and not send people out to mouth off

his lawsuits aren't having a whole lot of luck either
of the 40 lawsuits the GOP have filed . . . 0 of them were helping people to vote

all 40 were trying to STOP people from voting
MARK MEADOWS IS COVID-POSITIVE

@brownbookworm ARE YOU AWAKE
(if you don't know, Mark Meadows is Tr*mp's chief of staff and one of his closest advisors)

with 1 or 2 rare exceptions, I have never wished death upon anyone, and I certainly do not wish it on him, but I will be a petty bitch and say there's a certain poetic justice to Tr*mp's biggest enabler having to suffer through what he has put so many people and families through

Current leads while we're waiting for things

GA -- 4,289
NV -- 22,657
PA -- 28,833
AZ -- 29,861
popular vote -- 4,262,468
(74,795,942 to 70,533,474)

PA: 90,000
AZ: 150,000-170,000 (provisional ballot #'s still in flux)
NV: 120,000
GA: 14,000 (BUT there could still be up to 8K military votes -- the deadline to turn them in was earlier today)
even more YIKES

Meadows has been aaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllll over the place in the past week -- campaign headquarters, the west wing, the WH residence -- with no mask

also Jared K*shner has been hanging out near him, also with no mask, @brownbookworm
guess whose supporters were saying economy 🤔🙃🙄 Image
my name is Rae Loverde, and I support this message

oh my gods I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS 😱

(figure you guys need something besides numbers for a sec)

also this is what I was talking about earlier with Biden's speech

OKAY A QUICK TROLLING OF RIGHT-WINGERS TO MAKE YOU LAUGH

MSNBC reporting that there has been a ramp up of Biden's secret service protection -- a ramp up that you usually only see when the secret service believes they have a president-elect
MSNBC also reporting that the career agency workers the Biden campaign has been working with are cooperating with the inevitable transition

so, you know, there are some actual adults out there after all
WH update

Tr*mp has spent most of the day angrily watching tv and just not knowing what to say because he's realized he's running out of options

not so much that he's actually going to decide to concede, but hearing that he's suffering will always make me happy
A round-up of some news stories you might have missed while glued to Twitter and voting numbers (ummmmmm definitely did not do this myself . . . .)

Biden: 2,656,303
Tr*mp: 2,732,818

it's unlikely that Biden will be able to take that lead, but eh

CNN discussing how Black voters came out BIG in this election

can I just say an enormous A M E N
THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME STAY UP LIKE A MADWOMAN

THIS VERY THING

GEORGIA GIVES ME 19 VOTES AT A TIME ALL DAY LONG AND THEN IT DROPS THIS ON ME
they legit drop 5,243 votes on me at 3 AM their time (eastern)

Biden won 4,101 -- 78.2%
Tr*mp won 1,142 -- 21.8%
ohmygods, they just started talking about how Georgia is out of reach for Democrats on The West Wing

NOT THIS TIME BITCHESSSSS
GA update

the two last state-wide recounts in GA netted the candidates exactly 15 votes and 0 votes

I could S I N G
TO CLARIFY -- those state-wide recounts were in races that were conducted for STATE positions, not presidential campaigns

the point is to reinforce the fact that short of a staggering counting error, triggering a recount in GA -- much like in WI -- is unlikely to change anything
okay, I need to pass out so I can get up in time for the Maricopa and Clark Counties numbers

(oh gods those words just left my mouth -- what, am I in "The West Wing" or something?)
before I go -- GA has provisional + military ballots left, but barring something wild, both Senate seats and the GA electoral college go to run-offs on January 5th

yes, you better believe I'm going to be analyzing those to death too

gonna leave this here
. . . . . . my algebra 2 teacher and epidemiology professor are cackling right now, aren't they

I HAVE BEEN DOING WORD PROBLEMS ALL DAY/NIGHT
I hate word problems!
Word problems are the actual devil!
They were always my least favorite part of the tests!
It was always beautiful, straightforward equations, and then the last two would always be these AWFUL word problems about bank interest or infection rates!
Okay, last tweet thought before bed

After crunching ballot numbers, I've decided I like epidemiological models better

With the votes, I'm just guessing at something I have no control over -- the ballots are already cast, and I'm just guessing where they'll land based on trends
Epidemiological models can be scary and depressing ("hey look how many people are dying and how quickly they're doing it!"), but then you show them to someone in power and help them craft public health policy and a strategy to make sure your model never comes to pass
Unless, of course, you're showing it to a narcissistic pathological liar who prefers to close his eyes and plug his ears and pretend both the epidemiological model and the epidemic it measures doesn't exist

Then I don't know what to tell you 😂
I'M STILL GOING TO COUNT VOTES AND SHIT BUT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I know this is just the beginning but IT FEELS LIKE THE NIGHTMARE IS THIS MUCH CLOSER TO OVER
CNN anchor saying YEAH NO I REALLY SHOULDN'T LET YOU TALK YOU CAN TALK LATER to Rick Santorum is just THE FUCKING ICING ON THE CAKE
also MSNBC talking about the sense of the exhaustion and the collective sigh of relief across the world HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA
THE ONE AND ONLY TIME I WILL USE A GIF OF TR*MP BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE EARNED IT

They were okay with people taking away my gay friends' rights and supporting racism and mass death and so "I'm sorry if Tr*mp supporters are feeling sad today, but we're gonna dunk on y'all"
"The only reason I'm not crying is because I'm so tired and sleep-deprived"

Perdue leads 91,258

yes, Ossoff is losing by a sizeable #, BUT it's the PERCENTAGE that's important

Perdue: 49.8%
Ossoff: 47.9%

in case you're new, in GA, you MUST win 50.0% of the vote or it goes to a run-off
GA Senate race reminder

Warnock (D): 1,611,016 (32.9%

Loeffler (R): 1,269,840 (25.9%)

WH update -- and it's a big one

the prevailing emotion in the WH rn is uncertainty -- no one knows what's going to happen in the coming days/weeks/months

The overall strategy thus far has just been to give SusOrangeBitch space to process that this shit is actually happening
WH update (cont.)

the WH reporter described the WH as "eerily quiet" -- a lot of staffers legit just didn't come in to work today, including the ones that are quarantining because they were recently around covid-positive M*rk Meadows a lot
WH update (cont.)

with so many people gone -- most notably M*rk Meadows -- no one knows who's in charge too

normally that would be P*nce, but when asked, no one knew where he was -- they only knew he was not currently at the WH
WH update (cont.)

the mood yesterday and this morning was one of defiance -- they had planned to hold a rally and fire everyone up about the potential legal challenges, but once F*x News called the race, everybody went radio silent
WH update (cont.)

the only thing that really is happening outside of that "unusual amount of silence" (as the reporter put it) is that they are still sending out emails soliciting donations for their legal fund and potential lawsuits
WH update (cont.)

as for the SusOrangeBitch, he has mostly been watching tv (shocking) and tweeting shit he doesn't actually understand

for example, he was tweeting about how he won the race because he broke records with the highest amount of votes ever for an incumbent
WH update (cont.)

the WH reporter theorizes that it's a stat that an aide gave him to try and improve his mood . . . conveniently leaving out that Biden won a shit-ton more votes and that SOB is 2nd best
WH update (cont.)

the thing everybody agrees on is that nobody -- including him -- has any idea how SOB will handle the remaining days of his presidency

there is speculation that he might just go down to Mar-a-Lago and simply not come back to DC
WH update (cont.)

aides believe the worry that SOB won't concede is just "left panic" and that once the count has been certified, it'll finally sink for him, and he'll concede -- or at least stop fighting it
WH update (cont.)

as for the aides themselves, many are already thinking about their futures and trying to protect themselves and getting ready to jump ship if SOB gets so unhinged that it will hurt their future chances even more

for example, one wants a job in TV as an analyst
WH update (cont.)

a few senior officials, on the other hand, believe they will be out of a job -- even if they don't want to be -- by next week

the prevailing mood among the ones getting ready to vamos is worry about what remains of their credibility after working for SOB
some fun trivia

Presidents who served only one term and lost as an incumbent

John Adams
John Quincy Adams
Martin Van Buren
Benjamin Harrison
William Howard Taft
Herbert Hoover
Jimmy Carter
George H. W. Bush

oh and

D*nald fucking Tr*mp
(I'm not counting Cleveland bc he did actually serve 2 terms -- he just had Harrison between the two)

IN ANY CASE

How many of those names do you recognize?

I'm guessing the average American knows 3 (not counting SOB)
something of note -- many of these guys were defeated because they or their presidencies were actual dumpster fires

(see also "Martin van Ruin," who completely botched the response to the Panic of 1837 and is responsible for the two-party system)
(credit to Van Ruin, he did become a flaming abolitionist, so I'll give him a small pass)

Hoover's dumpster fire?
The Great Depression . . . and the fact that he opposed having the federal government provide relief during it
Taft?
Dude was rather fond of occupying, propping up ,and/or removing governments in Latin America and tended toward the super conservative wing of the R*publicans

he also thought Japan occupying Korea was a splendid idea
Ah yes, another great thing about Taft

he refused to appoint Black people to federal jobs and removed most Black office holders in the South -- according to him, Black people should be "kept in [their] place"
John Adams?

I'll let King George speak for me

ahhhh yes, and there was that fun business with the Alien and Sedition Acts -- the Naturalization Act, Alien Friends Act of 1798, Alien Enemy Act, Sedition Act

Tr*mp would have absolutely loved these things
Our dear friend John Adams

- increased the time immigrants had to wait (14 years) to become citizens (it was 5 years before that)
- gave the president the power to arrest and deport "dangerous" immigrants
- criminalized lying when criticizing the federal government
are you guys noticing some patterns here?

Also he lost my home states of CA and WA by 31.2% and 20.1% respectively (and they're not done)
MN: 232,314 --7.1%
NH: 57,036 -- 7.1% (he lost it by 2,736 in 2016)
CO: 418,163 -- 13.2% (okay, he probably didn't expect to win, but he lost it by only 4.9% in 2016, and I love seeing him get spanked by higher margins)

also I have lost the ability to read anything but numbers

He predicts that R*publicans are going to let him tantrum and cry it out for a while

actual quote:
"how many pardons do you believe he'll be signing?"
"how high can you count?"

okay, going to expound a little upon this and tell you why this speech -- and much of Biden's rhetoric leading up to the election -- is like hostage negotiation
you've all seen the FBI shows (Criminal Minds, Mindhunter, etc) where they use psychological tactics to try and catch criminals

in many of these instances, they're dealing with hostage situations

it's a pretty apt comparison to what's been going on for the past 4 years
think of R*publicans as the hostage-takers, us -- the people who are actively being harmed by Tr*mp -- as the hostages, and Biden as the FBI profiler-hostage-negotiator

(remember that this is all metaphorical -- I'm not saying all R*publicans are violent criminals)
