It’s Still Last Night

The Morning During

November 4, 2020

This thing ain’t over. However it plays out, it will not be what many had hoped. There will be no flipping the Senate. There will be no increase in control of the House. There will be no decisive repudiation of the objectively despicable autocrat still enrapturing almost half of our fellow citizens.

I wish I had a hangover. That would be a much better reason to feel this shitty. Biden may still end up with a wafer-thin Electoral College victory. But America has shown its true colors. And those colors are white. More specifically, white nationalist. This country is clearly in of a time-out. A twelve-step program. A good, long stretch in rehab. We are addicted to racism and ignorance.

This nation is apparently in need of a suicide hotline after giving such aid and comfort to a man who has killed almost 250,000 of us and is bent on doubling that number as quickly as possible…for starters. Far too many Americans are perfectly happy with the most racist, and most overtly so, president at least 150 years. Heckofajob Whitey.

This murderous sociopath falsely claimed victory over night, telling his fawning zombies “We’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court – we want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots a 4:00 in the morning and add them to the list. Okay?”

I won, I won, I won.

No. Not okay. Bad dog. Bad dog. Sit. Heel. Shut the fuck up. Someone should tell artificially-flavored-orange-Jello-brain that this is exactly how elections work…in a democracy, which on parchment at least, is something that still carries the day in the good old U.S. of A. The voting has in fact stopped. Someone should tell Dear Leader that after the voting stops, the votes get counted.

As usual, Chrump shows his total and unshakable ignorance of America. He will not be going to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is not Wendy’s. You don’t just walk in there and order up some verdicts with no tomato. We know that you got your “niece” Amy a job at what you think is the drive-thru window so you can get free verdicts when no one is looking, but there remains (for now at least) a chain of command in the court system. As far as anyone knows, there are few judicial hoops to jump through before dragging the highest court in the land into your fantasy snuff election. Unless, of course, all that was changed while we were asleep last night. Which is entirely possible.

Oddly, or rather, disgustingly, the votes that have yet to be tallied are the ones that were cast before what we call Election Day. How fucking stupid is that? People who planned ahead, who voted in some cases several weeks ago, which should make things easier to manage, now have to watch an incumbent, albeit psychotic and IMPEACHED president, whine about how unfair it is to count their votes. Naturally, this happens mainly in Republican’t run states. And of course, the voting he wants to stop, the voting Republican’ts have always fought to stop, is predictably that of black Americans.

So stand back and stand by. The votes will be counted. The lawyers will be deployed. The country will remain fucked. America will apparently not be great again, or likely ever, with what we are seeing. But there remains a pretty good chance that we will kick Chrump out of the White House and still have to kick him around some more as he begins his 2024 campaign – much to the dismay of Don, Jr., Ivanka and T*&cker Carlson who are chomping at the bit for their chance to ru(i)n this country.

Admittedly, Chrump’s horrifying obliviousness has served him well. Non-existent God have mercy on our souls.

I. Mangrey recuperating…sort of.
