Everyone, every media outlet, has called the election. I hadn’t actually checked the Associated Press’s electoral map in days, but I checked this morning – the AP has definitively called Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania for Biden-Harris, giving them 290 electoral college votes in total. Georgia is still outstanding, per the AP, but every new batch of counted ballots has increased the Biden-Harris margin (they’re now up by over 12,000 votes in GA). Joe Biden also definitively won the popular vote by over 77 million votes.
… And Donald Trump is in hiding. The poor little suckbaby fascist loser has been holed up in the White House residence for days, inhaling cheeseburgers and steroids and hysterically calling all of his GOP allies in states and in Congress. Let’s be perfectly clear: Donald Trump is a loser and he’s too pathetic, unprofessional, unhinged and immature to concede the election. He’s too much of a crybaby to even make a speech on camera. This sh-t is unprecidented. Or, as Trump would say, unpresidented.
Why is Trump hiding in the White House?

Trump continues to tweet unhinged sh-t in all-caps, and he’s continuing to beg his supporters for money to “fight” for the election, but most of that money is either going towards his campaign debt, or to his own grifter pockets by way of a new PAC. Meanwhile, people within TrumpWorld are “concerned.” Jesus, we’re still doing this?
Even some of the president’s most publicly pugilistic aides, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and informal adviser Corey Lewandowski, have said privately that they are concerned about the lawsuits’ chances for success unless more evidence surfaces, according to people familiar with their views.
Trump met with advisers again Tuesday afternoon to discuss whether there is a path forward, said a person with knowledge of the discussions, who, like others interviewed for this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. The person said Trump plans to keep fighting but understands it is going to be difficult. “He is all over the place. It changes from hour to hour,” the person said.
In the states, Democratic and some Republican officials said they have seen no evidence of fraud on a scale sufficient to overturn the results. “There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud,” one GOP official in Georgia said.
WaPo goes on to detail how every state has their own laws and procedures for certifying their states’ votes and there is next to nothing that Trump can do to stop it or change it. Which, big surprise. I don’t even have much hope that Trump will acknowledge that he lost even when states certify their results. So who’s going to tell him? Who’s going to be the Republican to say on camera that Donald Trump is a suckbaby fascist loser who is undermining the results of a free and fair election?
WE WILL WIN!

What a loser, hiding in there like an incel, scarfing burgers and crying to anyone who will listen. They are going to have to physically remove him and good luck to the people who have to do it. I hope they don’t have bad backs.
They might need to ask the National Zoo for an elephant tranquilizer.
Ha! They’ll need a crane straight out of My 600 lb. Life to get him out of there!
I just spat out my coffee! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣😈😈
I shared this late yesterday, but it is definitely worth a repost for anyone who hasn’t seen this—courtesy of Leslie Jones’ Twitter … The best visual of trying to get Trump to concede

Priceless!
Brilliant.
He’s busy fundraising to pay off debts and hiding his used Depends in the air ducts of the WH.
Bwahahahahaha!
Slightly off-topic but this reminded me that when Marcoses fled the Philippines, they hid all the money they stole in diaper bags. I’m sure everybody is using this time to prepare for a similar departure.
Oh, I could totally see them buying time not only to grift their supporters but to destroy evidence of all of their wrong doings to hamper prosecution after they leave office. They can’t do that with Biden’s team on the ground.
Peanutbuttr—really? Hey, tacky is gonna tack, no? 🤣🤣
This why i don’t think he’s attempting a coup. He’s in denial and the people around him are either in denial or too scared to stand up to the man and tell him he’s done because they fear reprisals. Meanwhile, they’re all bitter and angry about losing and their last act is to make the transition as difficult as possible.
They are also buying time so they can milk their followers financially to pay off campaign debts by lying to them that they have a chance of still winning.
None of them have the balls to tell him to man up and accept the defeat. They are all a bunch of babies.
I’ll do it 🙋
“They are also buying time so they can milk their followers financially to pay off campaign debts by lying to them that they have a chance of still winning.”
And its working. I have seen a few nuts on Facebook that believe ‘God will make Trump win’ and how they aren’t giving up hope. My husband talked to a lady in the store this morning spouting the same. It’s truly insane how delusional they are. And yes, gullible enough to give their last dime to have their fuhrer win because, ya know, a deity deems it so…..or something.
That’s not how God works.
Today is Veteran’s Day. Shouldn’t that be the focus? I guess there’ll be no official government acknowledgment of our veterans. And to think many voted for this Orange buffoon.
I look at his agenda every day and he is going to Arlington for the ceremony – supposedly.
I think he has giving up the pretense of giving a damn. The majority of military voted for Biden.
He’s trying to deny military votes in Nevada. Trump is scum.
Well, considering that he referred to Veterans and POWs as “suckers and losers” DURING HIS REELECTION CAMPAIGN, why would anyone expect him to honour Veterans on Veterans Day? He has not done his job as POTUS since he found out he lost. He’s nothing but a pouty, pathetic baby.
@ CHRISSY-for me, he has never Ever EVAH done his job as POTUS. Disgusting POS 🤬🤬
The Orange Turd is hiding inside, having his entire team of a** kissers tell him how great he still is, you can save ‘Merica, blah, blah.
Meanwhile, Ivanka and Jared are fighting to keep themselves up front and plotting their next move for themselves..Ivanka 2024?
And probably plotting against each other to see which is gonna have to tell Daddy it’s over.
Trump and his weasels are not done with their dirty tricks, not by a long shot.
Biden and the Dems, and significant Republicans, i.e. Former Pres. Bush, Romney, etc. need to condemn Trump and force him to publicly concede ASAP. Biden needs to lawyer up, go Hard at enforcing the transition ASAP. You know, the PTB behind Trump are up all night being liars, crooks and breaking the Constitution 24/7 to get their way and keep their power.
I mean, did anyone think he was going to do anything different? Even if he had won a second term, we would be going through this in 2024. He was always going to hide and sulk through the last months of his presidency. I saw one comment on Twitter last night that he’s going to go to Mar a Lago for thanksgiving and just stay there.
Fine. Good. It’s not like he was contributing in any positive way. He’s such a child.
I’m more irritated if not out right furious at the support within the government he’s getting for his prolonged tantrum. He will be gone soon, why blacklist yourself in Washington by holding up the transition? He’s not going to cape for you when he’s out of office, he only cares about himself.
You guys, I think Rudy Giuliani is going to take this all the way to the Supreme Courtyard by Marriott.
Haha! Thanks, I needed a laugh this morning.
Haha 😂😂😂
Thank you for that!! LOL
Can we keep this joke alive forever please? It’s so on point for the trump klan.
All the way to the supreme (mall food) court.
Shit, I let out such a loud involuntary guffaw at “the Supreme Courtyard by Marriott” that I woke my hyper new Dog Who Never Sleeps! Now I’ve gotta play fetch again. That was the post of the day for me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Swear to God, I don’t know which is more hilarious: this nonsense…or Philly folks’ unpolite responses to Lou Dobbs wanting the GOP to surround the city.
I was so overjoyed on Saturday when the official results dropped, but the more I read about it, the more I fear these next four years are only going to be the swan song before democracy really starts failing.
Trump is going to spend four years yelling conspiracy theories and undermining the Biden/Harris presidency, then will run again in 2024, and win. I’m genuinely gobbsmacked that over 70% of Republican voters truly and firmly believe this election wasn’t “free and fair”, despite the complete lack of evidence. Western democracies seem to be doomed, and it scares me.
Why would you terrorize yourself with such a ridiculous notion? 55% of white women and damn near 60% of white men might be foolish and hateful enough to vote for this piece of shit again, but there are a lot of other people who have sense enough to make sure no Trump (or their spawn) gets anywhere near public office again in their lifetime.
And the longer this pathetic idiot keeps hiding and begging money from his followers and refusing the daily presidential briefing, the more HE insures he will never win again and neither will any of his crotch goblins.
I think he’s going to get another case of Coronavirus and it’s going to be worse this time.
Take heart – he’ll probably spend the next 4 years in the court system of NY State – and, if there is justice, then several years after that serving a prison term. Or the foreign entities he owes about half a billion dollars to (loans coming due in 2021) will take care of it for us.
Don’t torture yourself for no reason. His legal problems is his future. That is all.
I think we definitely need to be very vigilant and show up to the polls over the next four years, no doubt about that. Trump isn’t who you should worry about, though. It’s Congress and whatever cleaned up white supremacist they bring to the table in 2024 like Tom Cotton. They have the playbook. Now they just need a slyer, less narcissistic candidate to fill the position and bank on all of that fear and confusion they sowed.
It’s why I’ve been urging the political fronts I’m involved in to start really working on getting minority, women’s rights, and other economic protections installed at the state level. I hope we don’t have more problems coming, but we shouldn’t be losing sight of the reality of what a close call this was. We need to have states that can serve as havens (or are at least safer) for people to flee to in the absolute worst case scenario. The Georgia races are a longshot even with the numbers we have, and they’re riling up the party to show up in those elections. That makes it imperative for us to show up 2022 in case they manage to continue their line of obstruction. They are going to fight the end of their era to the last bitter breath at the cost of the most vulnerable in society.
@Veronica S. YES! this is what I have been saying.
and yeah, it won’t be trump. It will be someone like cotton or worse
It’s funny that you think Cheeto will still be alive in 2024.
I hope the president at the time and all of the former presidents boycott the funeral. While I love W handing out candy to Michelle at funerals no one should legitimize the past 4 years.
McConnell, Pompeo, and Ronna Romney McDaniel need to face charges for crimes against the US (peacetime treason). Nothing justifies what they are doing. This is a coup attempt.
Along with fucking Stephen Miller, and why not?
He’s there for a reason. I’m getting coup in plain sight vibes. He fired a whole bunch of people at the pentagon and installed his lackies. Some epic shit is about to go down and once people get wind of what is happening the protests will begin. Something has to be done. He intends to stay and I’m very worried because the GOP is backing all if this.
It really bothers me about the Pentagon firings. I need to ask my step mom. She knows people in Washington
We all knew this is how he would react. The thing that scares me is that Republicans in Congress and the Secretary of State are backing him up…
They all have something to hide and are covering their asses between now and 20th Jan 2020.
What is also concerning that he is turning the WH into a bunker to barricade himself into – there is a wall around it and what is the building work thats going on?
I would not put it past any of them to try and threaten the American people and I like to think that will cause even MAGATs to turn on him.
Karma please please please serve up Moscow Mitch – he’s being under your radar for soo long.
All the construction is for the inauguration in January.
Like Midnight@theOasis (love love love that song btw) said the construction is for the inaugural. There was a report on MSNBC stating that the plans for the inaugural go on regardless.
They know the ship is sinking, and if they lose the majority in the Georgia elections, they no longer have the protection of Biden having to work with them to get stuff through. There is every reason for them to be attempting a coup now that the national numbers are showing how fast the tide is turning on them. We will need to be vigilant and protest if necessary, but we should also recognize this kind of reaction speaks to their fear and panic, as well.
We will see how strong our democracy truly is. If a coup does take place, I am not sure that the military would follow him.
I am worried that after the treatment of protesters, we have too many armed men and women who are ready to infringe upon our civil liberties and harm citizens in order to feel a rush of power and appease their Republican Nazi command.
What an orange poopy face loser. 🍊💩
😆😆😆😆
You win! Best comment!
Wow. I’m at a loss as to how the man functioned in the business world, let alone in the real world.
I hope there is a movie spoofing this soon. And I hope it further infuriates Toddler Trump. Melania sure got herself a prize when she married this guy (sarcasm). I hope his money is worth having to deal with his psychosis.
Movie title: A series of unfortunate events: the White House edition.
I envision this ending like the saddam Hussein cell phone video. Well not the killing part but the part where he continues to scream at everyone in the room in defiance as the armed forces remove him from the White House.
I hope the video of the Secret Service booting him leaks.
Fingers crossed!
I’d walk to DC to see that.
Apparently he’s pissing off members of his own staff and appointees including Barr by threatening to release classified information that “proves” he didn’t have help from the Russians in the 2016 election. Intelligence agencies are really unhappy because it could threaten national security and our allies by revealing sources and methods of obtaining information. He is definitely trying to take us all down with him.
I also wonder if the American people can sue Giuliani for threatening the legitimacy of our democracy and all around wasting our and the courts time? Can he and the attorneys filing suits be disbarred for all of these frivolous lawsuits? In court these lawyers are apparently not arguing what Giuliani has been plastering on the news. They could be and have been threatened with disbarment if they lie.
He shouldn’t speak on remembrance day after the cold hearted things he said about our soldiers. The world could do without people like him.
Don’t forget. He still Lady G. 🙄
I heard a psychic prediction about him a week before the election that before this all ends, trump will end up as most tyrants do. That it will be someone in his cabinet, a republican, perhaps former military. Sic semper tyrannis! Rem publicam ultio!
Trump becoming a martyr is not my wish for him. I want him to be punished, I want the four years back that he stole from us. I want him to pay for his crimes against the republic, via either federal or state I don’t care. On Jan 20th at noon, everything shifts and the military is under Biden’s control. Right now they are refusing to participate in a coup and without the military a coup cannot happen. In history when the military sides with people, tyrants fall.
I feel so awful because I wish he has a medical catastrophe in the next weeks that completely removes him from the political landscape. I do not like thinking such dark thoughts about anyone, but it would be such a clean break from the madness he cultivates. Any predictions about a stroke or heart attack?
It was a prediction that was in so many words: beware the ides of March (but in winter).
I don’t want to say the “a” word here, but you get the point.
Is anyone surprised though? We all knew he would refuse to concede and accept the results if he lost. We all knew he would act like a toddler in a tantrum about it. He had made that perfectly clear. He will eventually concede when he exhausts all options.
What upsets me is that the Republican politicians are legitimizing his behavior. I expect nothing less of Mitch McConnell who is a scumbag. But surely there has to be a decent Republican out there? It can’t just be Mitt Romney?
Everyone needs to calm down. Stop swallowing trump’s poisoned bread crumbs.
Listen to what Biden said. trump’s behavior is an embarrassment. Not a coup. Not a threat.
We need to steel our spines and focus on Georgia.
Fear is the only weapon trump and followers have.Don’t give them bullets.
Contribute to Stacey Abrams’ organization.Call your Republican representatives, federal and state, and tell them to issue a statement accepting the election results.E-mail the GSA head and tell her to do her job. Post ways to fight helpfully on whatever site you can. They win when we are weakened with fear; Stay Strong.
Exactly! Trump wants to rile up his crazy base and sew doubt and paranoia into his enemies and some of you here are 100% falling for it.
Look, it’s gonna be a rough ride, we all knew that and Biden’s campaign definitely knew it and came prepared. But I’m confident Biden will ascend. The only question is how Trump leaves the White House – either in a body bag because he worked himself into a stroke or a heart attack, dragged out kicking and screaming or goes out like Hitler because he can’t face what’s coming to him.
Thank you! Trump has no power on his own and no one in government is loyal to him. Everyone that gets the boot from him ends up writing a book about how terrible he is. Even his own family members hate him, outside of his direct spawn. Republican donors aren’t returning his calls and if he drags this out and the economy tanks even worse Wall Street won’t talk to him either.
I was e-mailing that bitch in charge of the GSA, Emily Murphy — she dismantled her e-mail!!! All subsequent e-mails to her came back as undeliverable. I guess she got bombarded with messages telling her to do her job.
I emailed her yesterday after someone posted the link. She didn’t even have to open the email because the subject was DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.
I’m beginning to get very angry. I am having trouble understanding why anyone & everyone tiptoes around this fascist. I’ve watched political podcasts & they’re all saying Republicans are doing this because they don’t want Dumps base to get mad @ & turn against them. I’ve honestly never seen so many spineless people in my life. People just need to suck it up & confront Dump & tell him it’s OVER & to start packing his bags. Since all these people are so tentative, this is what’s making me fearful & nervous. Somebody’s gotta do something…& like FAST.
They are most likely being blackmailed or have been threatened or their families threatened.
I am not anti-media but they need to balance giving the loser so much attention while still showing the damage he is doing.
Until all the states certify the counts no one will step in to do anything. His one trick is to create chaos while he does something behind the scenes. He is looking for a way out because the walls are closing in – financially and legally.
Narcissists thrive on attention, even negative attention. Media needs to move on and focus on Biden.
The worst thing the media can do to him is never report on him again only doing stories on Biden.
Maybe he’s afraid that if he leaves when he comes back he’ll find all of his belongings on the front lawn and all of the locks changed.
Hmm, and yet they still refer to Biden as “Hiden”! Dumb bastards.
He left for a Veteran’s day photo op.
I still say he’s gonna leave for FL at Thanksgiving and never return.
On a extra serious note
Has anyone heard about everyone being in a panic bc they think Trump will give government secrets to Putin?
My BFF just told me this but I need links. Or at least the name of the sight reporting it.
Trump does not need to concede. The process is already in place. The media is not involved. On Dec 8 the individual states must certify their election results. On Dec 14 the Electoral college votes. On Jan 6 their votes are counted and certified. On that day, the Senate president officially accepts the certification and the new president elect and vice president elect is announced. On Jan 20 they will be inaugurated.
And yet he and his minions are doing things to and within various bureaus. We can’t take our eye off of what they’re doing.
“Joe Biden also definitively won the popular vote by over 77 million votes”. Did you mean to write “…with over 77 million votes”? (I WISH it were by over 77 million votes!)
