Mike Luckovich for November 06, 2020

We see him (Trump) like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun realizing his time is over.

Anderson Cooper on CNN

At first I thought she was asking for volunteers. I wouldn’t have raised my hand. Then again, if the rat in DC doesn’t leave if Biden wins the election, I may go to DC and raise my hand to volunteer.

Let’s see if America can survive a determined racketeer strongman who is seriously nuts!

Trump is not the problem. The problem is the tens of millions of people who believe his nonsense. Can you survive as a nation with so many stupid people ?

That ‘rat’ may not be around but his disease carrying fleas will still be here.

Georgia, I am proud of you. As of this moment 7:08am Nov 6 – Biden is ahead by 1094 votes. Some of you changed from decades of following the same party, some first time voters. I don’t know final results – but I am really happy with the effort. Republicans should be ashamed of the ad smearing and just plain outright lying ads. If you can not win by telling the truth, should you win? Tell us what you are going to do different instead of throwing labels around that aren’t accurate.

“You won’t have me to kick around anymore”. But in this case we will. Even after being ejected from office, DJT will continue craving public attention and adulation. The difference is he won’t make decisions resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens, trash the climate and environment, suppress voting rights, stifle economic justice.

Although I don’t know of any turtle species that are a danger to the environment or country. He’s purely a human animal.

Rat? I’m hoping for pernil, bacon, sausages, smoked hocks …

Off topic, kinda related: Once my parents paid big bucks to stay at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, but all night they could hear mice scurrying about in the ceiling of their room.

Hmmm, let’s see, Democratic gains in the House, Senate too early to call as of yet, and the trending math show Biden EXPANDING his LEADS in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia. The mail-in votes being counted in all those states are trending somewhere from 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 for Biden. Clark County just announced 30,000 more votes counted and about 19,000 for Biden, effectively DOUBLING Biden’s lead in NV. Pollsters got it wrong again, but there are reasons. More coming in for NV about 5 minutes. 60 – 70% of NV live in Clark County.

I love old fashioned family values.

Just a reminder that, while all of our attention has been focused on election results, COVID claimed another thousand Americans yesterday. And the day before. And probably today as well. Every day achieving a …

I’m not sure which I would’ve found more satisfying, a single-blow massive rebuke with Biden winning in an indisputable landslide or the slow drip drip drip death of a thousand cuts that Disaster Pumpkin is currently experiencing, probably realizing in his heart of hearts that he can’t threaten, bluff, buffalo, out-litigate, or outlast his way out of this one the way he’s done so often before. Twisting slowly in the wind is still too good for him, but perhaps no one will be around to see it, since I think the other rats have already started heading for the lifeboats.

Does the white house have an attic?

Is a Rat a RINO ?

He hates to lose but that speech about the election sure made him look like one.

Time to CELEBRATE!!!!! President Biden and Vice President Harris……….Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

The rat in the basement is Moscow Mitch. The basement is Kentucky- as usual. The lesser rat is Lindsay Graham. He’s in the outhouse- S. Carolina.
