They are deplorables. That x% of radical, slack-jawed yokels who show up with a gun to buy ice cream. They have been brainwashed into thinking Trump actually cares about them and so they want to be on his owning the libs team.

They have no concept of love or service, only “what’s in it for me?”. And how do I get my entitled share from the ones who took it from me?

She said, "Maricopa Elections office has this." Maricopa County has done mail-in voting for years, and has a very strict procedure for processing. She said the building is secure, and currently the count continues.

Trump supporters are literally outside a government building in Arizona protesting the fact that votes are being counted.

She's just trying to do her job, which is tough enough this year with voting being at an all-time high. But no, chump, with his pitifully needy ego, has to instigate this type of thing. And for what? It will accomplish nothing.

This is what we all dreaded. He is making the ugliest exit.

Worse yet is what he did to our hospital workers. His boneheaded approach, going around without a mask, causing thousands and thousands of Covid cases.

I applied for an elections job and they take pride in their fairness and how everything is bipartisan. There is no cheating going on. Effing idiots protesting.

There must be an equal number from each party

I do not know how the votes are actually counted.

An angry mob of trumsters surrounding the building chanting and singing YMCA, yelling to stop the counting, WHILE THEY ARE LOSING! This has got to be a Southpark episode.

Well, if they weren't complete morons they wouldn't be maganazis.

But why aren't they being hosed down with both point-blank pepper spray blasts to the face and rubber bullets to the knees, like peaceful protesters or a reporter doing their job? (It truly is a mystery!)

Didn't find any supporting news stories. And I I'm watching CNN and they haven't said anything.

I'm sure my local news stations would jump in with a story about that.

I would be totally okay with stopping the count. Just dandy with me. Biden wins, as he's ahead.

Except they don't know how to voice it.

They were expecting a Trump walkover, a red wave, and it didn't happen.
Mind you, our side were hoping for a blue wave, which didn't happen either.

So, being not too smart, the Trump humpers stand around with guns, and act agitated, and shout stupid things, child like temper tantrum, they always work, right?

“All those that want to stop the counting pleas move to the left!”
“All those that want to continue the counting please move to the right!”

—wait wait wait—

“Thank you. Now, on the count of 3...one...two...THREE!!!”
