The Recount turns 2 today — that’s a big f’ing deal! And since it’s our birthday, we’re feeling a bit nostalgic.

Let’s celebrate by reminiscing on some of our favorite moments over the years 👇
You never forget your first viral hit ✨

And this Italian translator certainly won’t either!
Over the years, we’ve picked up on some … interesting similarities.

*cough* Pete Obama voice *cough*
Noticed some stark differences, too.
Some things you just can’t unsee…
Like, really can’t unsee some things.
But if we had to see this shit, then so do you.
Some days are harder than others. Sometimes there’s an insurrection inside the U.S. Capitol, not just inside Louie Gohmert’s mouth.

And we’re here on those days too.
Pointing out the glaring difference in police response to BLM protesters vs. violent insurrectionists…
Rolling the tape on the president of the United States’ denial of a deadly global pandemic for months on end...
Chronicling a majorly f*cked up election…
But we always come out laughing in the end.

Just like Dr. Fauci at his first press briefing post-Trump.
I mean, really, what other choice do we have?

*Smiles nervously*
So cheers to us for turning 2, and cheers to you for being on this ride with us.

We’re just getting started.

Father Thomas Reese on Biden/Pontiff meeting: "For the Pope to spend over an hour with a head of state, a president, is very unusual. Usually these meetings are shorter than that. So I think they are getting into a lot of issues that are of concern to both the pres & the Pope."

“The actions of the January 6th committee, I believe, are a complete assault on Americans’ liberty.”

— Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is more upset over subpoenas than an actual attempted insurrection
(Surely Jordan's opinion on this matter has nothing to do with the fact that he spoke to Donald Trump on January 6th.)
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) pivots to immigration during hearing about 1/6 and Steve Bannon’s obstruction, saying committee is investigating the insurrection because “they got nothing else to talk about.”
