No recounts are going to change the result. JRB has 306 Electoral Votes. In Trump's own words, he won in a "LANDSLIDE!"

(2,690 posts)But just look at all those blue states the LOSER flipped to red!
The LOSER flipped none! The LOSER flipped no a single one. ZERO, zip, nada!
Did I mention Biden flipped 5? And how many did the LOSER flip again?
Trump is an obese old man who, despite his poor health and age, will go to prison. Did I mention he's also a LOSER?
A losing LOSER. Big fat LOSER.

(1,298 posts)I can only blame so much on the software. Can we not just read it through once before hitting "post"?
"Worse" vs. "worst" is especially maddening.

(3,949 posts)Don't get me started on apostrophe abuse -- I want to carry a black Sharpie and a bottle of Wite-Out with me everywhere I go to correct all of the mistakes I see. My advice is, when in doubt leave it out.

(54,330 posts)EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE
In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:
In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:
A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.
Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is lose vs. loose. In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you loose that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: youre) belt is too tight, you need it more lose in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined, vs. I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.
In Republicanese, as opposed to English, an apostrophe is used to form a plural. But it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.

(4,291 posts)I was going to say custody but there are so many fellow officers of the Grammar Police here, I didnt want to use that term here.
Just so long as the SLOTUS (Sore Loser of the United States) ends up behind bars, I wont quibble.

(15,325 posts)I thought they just spelled it TO in order to fit the Letters on the pic.
But you proved that theory wrong.
Really, now I can look at it without staring at tbe misspell.

(7,402 posts)In one election can get 306 Electoral votes while losing the popular vote by 1.9 million while another candidate 4 years later can win 306 Electoral votes but it took a 5.1 million popular vote victory to snag that same tally. Shows just how unlevel the playing field is making the USA less than a full functioning democracy, all due to that relic called the Electoral College.

(148 posts)I was never too much offended by that nick name. Seemed kinda dumb to me. But now I see it was the best nickname ever. Thanks, Trump.
What is a sleeper slang?
You probably know that sleeper can be used in an obvious sense to refer to someone who is asleep. ... But you also may hear the word used to describe something that becomes an unexpected success, like "a sleeper of a film" featuring unknown actors that ends up becoming the big summer hit.

Everyone's hard work!!! 👍👍👍
I couldn't go out and do stuff other going in person early bc I was extra concerned about my signature change, but I donated from Sept on from my modest income (and I still had stimulus money, too).
And the fact it's the mirror reverse of Trump v Hillary in EC votes fills me with glorious, victorious Laughter!!! 😁😀😄😆😂😂
