Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster IT'S OVER!!!
The only question at this point is how the military will react when $hitler orders them to attack the US.
Facing multiple indictments, hundreds of millions of dollars of unrepayable debt coming due, and a total implosion of his trash palace hotel empire as a result of his incompetent, destructive spread of the pandemic, I’m praying that $hitler blows his brains out on national television.
I’ll come so hard, it’ll feel like I turned inside out : )

Too many people of color, in addition to people of white, LOVE Trump as well Charles. Think about that!

Since millions more votes will be counted in CA, Biden's margin will be well over 5 million votes.
@1 The Russian MPs are considering a bill to give ex-presidrnts immunity from prosecution.
Know anyone this might apply to?

Well, I have to give the scriptwriters for the Donald the Clown show some kudos, they kept the last few episodes interesting, but I'm glad the network canceled it.

Bye!

Uh, would temp checks at businesses really bring COVID infection rates down? I’m hearing it’s private parties in homes responsible for the increase. The Mayor has no control over the County Health Dept if you are looking for her to shut down people gathering in their own homes, if that’s even politically or legally tenable.

Republicans are bragging about getting 25% of the vote from people of color. 25%! If it wasn't for dumb white people, this would an enormous landslide, with Biden at 75%. To put things in perspective, in the last 200 years, the biggest percentage win was LBJ, who got 61%. You have to go back to Jame Monroe -- who essentially ran unopposed -- to get numbers above 75%. The Republican Party is the White People Party, and has been, since Nixon (ironically the last Republican to get over 30% of the non-white vote in 1960).

@6 -- Yeah, temperature checks are bullshit. They don't do shit. People are spreading this disease without symptoms, and have for a really long time. The best thing to do if you are restaurant is not have indoor seating, and seat people far apart, while requiring masks when around the server.

As far as how it is spread, it is likely it is spread in various ways, not just people gathering in their home.

@ 8,

Agreed, with one edit.

“The Republican Party is the White -Trash- Party, and has been, since Nixon”

6 - Private parties in homes. Indeed. We all know and love someone, as politically conscious as ever, still having friends over, a small 'get together' for halloween, and think they're being safe. Makes me furious.

Trump will run again in 2024. He may not get the nomination, but he will run. Until then he will tweet every day, and it will be treated as news. We are not done with him yet - not by a long shot.

@11: Indeed. Karma is a fucking real thing.. and Dumpy's account is overdue for judgement

@14 "Until then he will tweet every day..."

Nah. Once the Secret Service drags him kicking and screaming out of the White House on January 20th, I bet he doesn't last a week on Twitter before they boot him off. He violates their posting policies on a daily basis. They give him huge deference because he's president, but that will end once he's out.

@2 - nice work, Cap'n Obvious. That's like saying, 'well, you know, black people are racist TOO.'

Of course they are because they are human beings just like you.

But that doesn't justify the fact that African Americans were brought to this country, literally treated like livestock to build the country, and generally treated as expendable. THAT is the fucking point.

Trump is done. He will die alone in Mar-a-Lago.

Paywall, sorry:

https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/networks-cut-away-from-trumps-white-house-address/

The media no longer feels obligated to amplify his unending stream of lies. That's step one. As soon as the vote is official, every toadying suckup will run away from him and hope they can find jobs again. He. Is. Done.

Looks like it should be pretty easy to undo Trump administration's disastrous Tongass decision.
That's a relief.
No telling how much of his other mischief is easily correctable.
One thing I really hope to see is indictments for violation of the Hatch Act - we have to have that simple principle universally understood and applied.

Great job, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams and Barack Obama and Biden/Harris voters and supporters! It's not official yet, but it's looking better and better for a return to at least some sanity and empathy in the White House. Trump, jealous and vengeful as Lucifer, will of course denigrate and demonize and deny, as he always does. And his cult will cheer and hiss on cue--but Joe and Kamala will be fine. Now, let's get the final three outs, and then we can celebrate a win.

@18: Your assumption that I was trying to justify that is ridiculous. If anything, progressives need to study why they don't have a monopoly on the political dispositions of minority communities in this country. THAT is the point.

The lack of leadership in Seattle right now is downright mystifying. I thought when we voted out all the 'fucking old white guys' it was going to be sunshine, lollipops and rainbows everywhere. Lesbian mayor. Black woman police chief who ran away to be on the TV. 6 of 9 councilwomen in Seattle alone.

What are they doing? Nothing. They are playing hot potato(e) with the homeless, crime, drugs, unaccountable police, dumbasses getting run over on Aurora. NOTHING. They are literally doing NOTHING.

@22 - then why did you even post it? What was the point of even bringing that up?

Because you fancy yourself to be some sort of Libertarian, 'The Emperor wears no clothes' person who won't pick a side but thinks you are above us commoners. Did you get a Philosophy degree? Probably. If only everyone would listen to your sage words as Truth the world would be a better place.

So you drip drip drip your Rainy poison on us like the proverbial Chinese Water Torture. Pass.

Progressives don't need to study why they don't have a monopoly on the political dispositions of minority communities in this country. Minority communities are not a monolith. That's what the Republicans and white supremacists and all the dumb fucks refuse to understand. EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING IS AN INDIVIDUAL HUMAN.

Pretending that progressives should have a monopoly on the political dispositions of minority communities in this country denies a)the basic human reality of every single person that is not white and b)ignores the history of this country, the dehumanization and mistreatment of all non-whites and all poor people (white or not) in this country, the total and complete lack of even the most basic truths presented in our education system, the pervasive and insidious white supremacist policies in this country, etc. etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

See, unlike the Republicans who DO have a monopoly - white men and women who hate everyone who is not them and refuse to evolve, grow, learn, or change as the world changes - everyone else in this country is not like the borg, does not think like the borg, has numerous reasons not to behave like the borg, and will never be the borg. etc. The largest shift in this country will come when the Republicans no longer exist and the country evolves beyond a system that exists only to serve white people and rich people.

The pandemic is nowhere near worse now than March! Comparing case numbers to the early days when testing was hard to come by is meaningless. Hospitalizations are way lower now than the peak. Doesn't mean don't be cautious (the midwest currently has higher death rates than our peak in March), but have some perspective.

@20. We may need to get a rubber stamp for Uncle Joe to undo all of the "Lookit me, I'm a BIG BOY' executive orders that Trump put his ridiculously oversized fancy signature on. Overcompensate much?

All of the evironmental rollbacks he shit through aren't even in line with how private business is adapting to the future, because of consumer demand. GMC is not going to bring back big pickemup trucks that get 6 mpg because nobody wants that shit anymore.

@25. I want them to do their fucking jobs. Nobody forced them to take those jobs. All they do is hold meetings and shuffle paper around and hope to get enough votes to keep holding on for the next term.

@27 - Agreed. Minority communities are not a monolith and such coming to terms among the left would open the doors into that long overdue epiphany.

@25 - endemic is one thing, but the sheer volume of how bad it is compared to the decades before is not something you can't wish away with a few sentences. I've lived in the Puget Sound area for 48 years. It's nice that crime is down here, like everywhere, but the people that have overtaken our parks and public spaces with their garbage and shit is unacceptable.

And there is 'nothing you can do about it'. That's what the City of Seattle told someone who moved into my condo complex who had to listen to the drug addled yelling of homeless people just across the parking lot in the park. She sold her condo two weeks later. I'm not going to NIMBY out, but that shit is not acceptable. Stop making excuses.

@22 -- 75% is a fucking monopoly! Jesus, dude, that is a fucking landslide. You have to go back literally 200 years to find a landslide like that. And that guy (Monroe) ran unopposed! And he only got 80%. Trump got about as many non-white supporters as people voted for nobody in 1820. In fact, there are only two presidents who ever got over 75%: Monroe (and only during his reelection) and George Washington.

You are trying to make the case that a substantial number of non-white people support Trump, but that is bullshit. The only reason that this race is even close is because a lot of white people support Trump, and the system gives white voters more power (https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/08/15/how-americas-electoral-college-favours-white-voters).

Also, calling a complete stranger 'dipshit' invalidates your argument. DIPSHIT.

@ 22,

That’s funny cuz Republinazis don’t see any need to study why they’re incapable of winning any county that has more people than cows, and the only reason they hold elected office is because our despicable system of government prioritizes geography over actual people.

I’m expecting an article any day now in which the New York Times tries to understand Biden voters. Gonna be a long wait.

Buddha asks: 'How many times will Raindrop be told to fuck off and go shitstain some other comment thread before they actually leave?'

The sound of one hand clapping.

@33: There was more non-white vote for Trump than expected. It was substantial in Miami-Dade county to make a difference for Florida, but nationally not.

@34: You're a troll, not a complete stranger.

@28 -- "Hospitalizations are way lower now than the peak." I wouldn't say "way lower". The peak hospitalization count was around 60,000. Now it is at 49,000. It has gone up about 20,000 this last month. The first wave swept through nursing homes, which may have skewed the numbers. The disease is more widespread now, which means that the chances of catching it is probably higher than back in March. If things don't change soon, we will likely surpass the peak in hospitalizations. https://www.investigatetv.com/coronavirus-hospitalizations/

@23 -- The problem is, their hands are tied. They can't evict them from the parks or streets, because of the pandemic. Even if they wanted to, a judge would probably rule that it is illegal. They can't provide a lot more housing, and try and coax people out because there is no money. This isn't a problem just for Seattle. Every city has this problem right now. The answer is large scale funding from the federal government, but that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

@38 - you are the troll. It has been noted ad naz here.Even David in Shoreline and BikeyMcbikeadoodle had the good sense to know when they are not wanted. Not old Rainy!

Like President Donald J Trump you project the very unproductive things you do as a course of business on other people.

ProfHiz tried to diminish me by calling me Dipshit instead of addressing facts. You know who else has derog nicknames for people who dare disagree with him? DONALD FUCKING.TRUMP.

Bullies, the whole lot of you.

@41: Here's a tissue.

But there is no tissue. Only empty words.

And sound and fury. Signifying nothing.

You do not exist.

@43 the herpes cure account poster is embarrassed for him. Complete nonce, I think he gets some type of sexual gratification out of being humiliated.

@32 of the developed world the US handles homelessness, addiction and mental health issues much less effectively. I’ve traveled all over the world for the last several decades and no other nation with great wealth has this issue. This is a cultural and societal issue that’s almost unique to the US.

when Billionaires can own hundreds and hundreds of all-Hate am radio stations (and FOX) and broadcast their propaganda 24/7 -- in Espanol! -- it's gonna have a more-than-Marginal effect.

until we get a Bilionaire or two to chip in and push a Progressive agenda on the am dial, expect more right-trending swings in the Electorate.

@44: Ouch. That's pretty creative.

@31 yeah while you're dishing up advice on what people need to do here's some suggestions:

The GOP need to never hold power again because they are unfit to govern and have proven they have no interest in governing for the good of all people.

Black people and Native Americans and Immigrants (all of them) in this country need to be given true equality in every possible way - all of the privilege and power and protections white people have gotten without question since the first white people arrived in this country and declared it "theirs." all of these centuries. They need to be made whole - financially, physically, spiritually. They need to be given justice for all of the white supremacist policy that has marginalized them and harmed them continuously and relentlessly.

Once that happens, then we can talk about the demands of the white supremacist terrorists. /s

@50: yep

@50: It's true. Be glad he didn't unleash his signature finishing move, where he types out a string of onomatopoeia laughter to indicate withering disdain.

There is money, Ross. The billionaires have it. They need to be taxed big time to pay for housing and social services to eradicate homelessness and the grinding despair caused by poverty.

Poverty caused by low wages, unemployment, untreated addiction, discrimination of all kinds, destroyed communities broken families etc. Demand change.

Thanks Xina for your fine words.

@52: Your fly's open

xina for the WIN!

@59:

They vote GOP for four reasons and four reasons only: God, Guns, the Coloreds, and Unborn Fetuses. Nothing else matters to them, not their own health, safety or economic well-being nor that of their offspring. So long as the Right continues to pander to those things your average Republican is willing to be staked down onto a hot asphalt road at High Noon and let someone shit in their gaping mouths - which the GOP does perpetually.

not remotely Possible, Perfessor not
with you here to brighten their days.

@66 COMTE: Ah, yes--the four Free Dumbs the GOP loves to ram down the throats of their loyally blindsided sheeple, particularly in the Deep Fried South. Agreed and seconded. In my experience, though, it's more like 1.God, 2. Guns, 3. Hatred of Coloreds and 4. Hatred of Women, Regardless of Skin Color.
So what if MAGA idiots lose everything, including their homes, possessions, incomes, and healthcare? The GOP's fahtin' fer their Free Dumbs! Arm Junior with an AR-15! So what if he blows his mama away in a Wal* Mart parking lot? It was her TAHM! That is the mindset of those who, despite 244 years of overwhelming evidence that RepubliKKKans are grossly unfit to ever govern, still vote GOP, proudly gather unmasked during a global pandemic, and cheer at Trump hate rallies. There is no cure for stupidity, especially when it is inbred, armed, and dangerous.
