The irony of West Virginia.

Became a state in 1863 because it didn't want to be a part of the Confederacy.

And now it has become the most racist. Wins the prize for highest percentage of votes for trump.

Stupid fuckers voting against themselves.

And those tolls on I-77 are exorbitant, assholes.

Anybody else no longer love this country? Hesitated to post, but gotta get this off my chest.

I can't stomach the rampant hypocrisy, the racism, the birtherism, the anti-scientism. That one half of this country could vote for an obvious hideous monstrous moronic evil con man is almost too much for me to bear.

Aside from the matter that Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden are not allowing immigrants from the USA I would already be planning my permanent move, even when it looks like Joe Biden has won.

And as for my home state, Louisiana: you FUCKING BUMS. Three hurricanes, losing coastine at the rate of a football field every hour, sea levels rising to drown out our southern cities.... beggars screaming for Federal help every time a disaster strikes, which is quite often and at the same time lambasting "big government" and "socialism".... FUCK YOU, my fellow Louisianians. You embarrass me to no end.

I regret vacationing in Miami last year.

Full of resentment right now.

It wasn't all that great, anyway.

We seem to have forgotten the fact of BLACK BOX voting.

Voting here in Louisiana is pretty fucking comical, actually.

You go into a booth, punch buttons on a Votetronic touch screen, and then we're supposed to accept ON FAITH that our vote is going to be tabulated correctly to our chosen candidate. No receipt, no way to check online later.

"The vote is correct. We can't manipulate the votes because the totals have to match the number of signatures before entering."

To which I say THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT.

Who wrote the Votetronic software? Republican or Democrat? Why am I not allowed to inspect your program code, MR. REPLUBLICAN VOTETRONIC MANUFACTURER.

trump will bestow Presidential Medal of Freedom to Lou Holtz. Now don't get me wrong...

I like Lou Holtz.

But now the Medal of Freedom goes to football coaches who really haven't distinguished themselves except for a coaching career?

What new ground did Lou Holtz break? What act of bravery did he commit that enhanced the causes of freedom and justice in America?

Maybe I'm missing something he did? Did he jump into a river and save a drowning puppy?

Everything trump touches turns to shit, and he has totally cheapened the Medal of Freedom.

I'm pumped. Young people are voting. Saw it with my own eyes.

So, I drove by the early voting place here in Baton Rouge... the line was looooooooong in this mostly white, Republican neighborhood. But what I saw encouraged me: from what I saw at least a third of those in line were young people. And many African Americans, too.

I contrast that with what I usually see on election day here: youthful indifference. Where are the young people???? Well, this time they're showing up!

Now, I have no hope that Biden will win this beggar state (I love Louisiana, don't get me wrong, but truth is truth)... but if around the country there's this much enthusiasm and concern for their futures... as I'm now convinced there is.... Biden wins in a landslide.

Just watched the Borat movie. The Guliani scene is disturbing.

Tucking in his shirt?

OK, now, I won't spoil the details, but he sure had a much better defense than THAT.

trump actually strung these words together:

"I take full responsibility. It's not my fault..."

LOL
