President JRB! All States Have Been Called!

[MineralMan]

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

[Towlie]

1. With 5 states flipped!

[MineralMan]

2. Yes, and Georgia and Arizona are HUGE!

[cstanleytech]

55. I think it shows that come the next major Senate election regardless of this runoff one that we

could see Georgia go a darker blue despite efforts from Kemp and other Republicans to stop minority Democrats from being able to vote.

[peacebuzzard]

13. nice beautiful map there Towlie.!!

you are always on top of everything, too! Thank you.

[RVN VET71]

33. Biden flipped 5 from red to BLUE

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.

[crickets]

40. Look at GA. Look at it! It's so pretty!

Ha! So happy my state flipped blue!

[Roc2020]

66. that blue state above FL..what a sight!!

[mzmolly]

3. Amazing!

[Budi]

4. President Joe R Biden. VP Kamala Harris.

We did it folks.

Joe Biden becomes first Democrat in 28 years to win Georgia

7. See you TOO

[lagomorph777]

11. Frustrating to see it in big meme letters.

Typos like that make my OCD itch.

[3catwoman3]

23. I don't have OCD, but am a spelling, grammar and...

...proper usage nerd, and things like this make my teeth ache from clenching my jaws so tightly.

[The Roux Comes First]

25. Right There With Both of You on That

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.

[OMGWTF]

35. Me too. My biggest bugaboo is with "it's" which means 'it is or it has' but is often used as a noun.

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.

[3catwoman3]

41. More and more, I am hearing people make a possessive out of "I."

“John and I’s vacation.” “Mary and I’s car broke down.”

It’s all I can do to keep my lips zipped.

[noneof_theabove]

52. forgot proper English

I's vacation - NOT it is "My" vacation

Forgot about I before E except after C has been disproven by Weird Science.

[DFW]

57. Proper English? Who said anything about English?

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: you’re) 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.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

54. Yes!!! Never heard it until recently. It sounds so ignorant.

[NBachers]

47. I even use proper spelling and punctuation when I text.

[Towlie]

14. Right. Biden should be telling Trump "Good to see you to" (the door).

[Fritz Walter]

43. Or "to prison"

I was going to say “custody” but there are so many fellow officers of the Grammar Police here, I didn’t want to use that term here.

Just so long as the SLOTUS (Sore Loser of the United States) ends up behind bars, I won’t quibble.

[PatrickforO]

49. SLOTUS - that's really funny.

Based on his work habits, we could also use SLOTHUS.

[Budi]

20. Yup. TOO as in ALSO. Lol, it does bug ya when it's so obvious

To
Too
Two

[Towlie]

31. Here, I fixed it for you.

[Budi]

32. Thank you! I'm saving your updated gif.

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.

[Hekate]

36. OMG thank you

From one grammar nerd to another

[ChazInAz]

63. Aaahhh...much better.

May Yog Sothoth smile upon thee!

[Shermann]

62. FAIL nt

[peacebuzzard]

10. I love this image.

I have seen this on this board before, but its making me extra proud of everyone here, and the troops everywhere.

[Budi]

15. Yes, I grabbed it from a DU post. THANK YOU!

I love it too.
Man, this country is so freakin lucky.

[Budi]

26. Wonder how soon Pres & 1st Lady Joe & Jill will invite Pres & 1st Lady Barack & Michelle for dinner?

🙂

[peacebuzzard]

42. burgers & fries,

Dump is going to sulk for 2 months.

[Budi]

51. LOL. While he shovels prison gruel in his fat mouth

👍

[MineralMan]

12. JRB and KDH! THE WINNERS!

I had to look up Kamala's middle name which is Devi.

[Budi]

17. Yes that's right... Devi. Beautiful name.

I'll remember it from here on..

WE DID IT!!

[RussellCattle]

45. Traditionally it's been Democratic Presidents who are known by their initials, like JFK or LBJ....

...or FDR. We'll have to see if JRB catches on. Just "Joe" is fine with me.

[PatSeg]

30. Whoa, that choked me up

Even with the "to"!

[BlueMTexpat]

59. ...

[onetexan]

46. awww...that's lovely, brought tears to my eyes

[yellowcanine]

5. Has NC been called? Last I looked it hadn't. Until it is called, I am not giving up on it.

[MineralMan]

6. Yes. It has been called for Trump.

[Towlie]

18. Fox News hasn't called Georgia or North Carolina yet.

https://www.foxnews.com/elections/2020/general-results

They're showing both Georgia and North Carolina as uncalled on their map and they show 290 to 217.

[MineralMan]

19. Who cares what Fox News says?

[Towlie]

22. I just thought it might make yellowcanine feel better.

[Demsrule86]

8. We did it...all those days...the primaries, the election ...and we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MineralMan]

9. I take no credit for this at all.

I had one vote only. It's just that JRB got over 5 million more votes than Trump. 5 MILLION!

[Poiuyt]

21. Oh, don't be so modest!

[Towlie]

24. Biden got more popular votes than all of the other candidates, including Trump, combined.

... by a margin of over 2.5 million.

[MineralMan]

27. Yup!

[mcar]

16. Woo hoo!

[MineralMan]

28. Indeed!

[DonaldsRump]

29. LANDSLIDIN' WITH JOE BIDEN!!!!

[DallasNE]

34. Funny How One Candidate

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.

[mdbl]

60. thanks for the clarity

absolute proof the electoral college needs to go away.

[sandensea]

37. A mirror image, you'll recall, of Cheeto's 306-232 SELECToral College win

Karma.

[Hekate]

38. I'll be awhile before I go around singing Zippety-doo-dah, but this is great news

[Niagara]

39. Excellent news!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. Donald Trump is a loser. His biographers say that's his worst nightmare....

and we knew it all along, some even before he rode down the (fake) golden escalator.

Congratulations to Joe and Kamala and every single soul who worked tirelessly to make it happen.....


This victory was my ultimate birthday gift on November 3rd..... .......

[coolhandlulu]

50. Sleepy Joe

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.

[TigressDem]

53. For Old people who don't have time for the twitterverse

CNN MAP 306 !!!!

[electric_blue68]

56. The wonderfulness will be fully cemented on 1/20/21 Noon...

but it feels so good already!

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!!! 😁😀😄😆😂😂

[Dopers_Greed]

58. President Joe!

[BobTheSubgenius]

64. Damn right he did!

It remains to be seen how long the Tantrum is going to be, though.

[MineralMan]

65. Well, none of their legal challenges are working,

so not too much longer, I think..
