theroot--2020-11-04--Vote Challengers Chant 'Stop the Count' at a Detroit Vote-Counting Facility

Vote challengers erupted in a chant of “ stop the count ” outside of a vote counting facility in Detroit on Wednesday .
The Detroit Free Press reports that police officers had to push back crowds who were demanding they should be allowed in the vote tallying room at the TCF Center .
Republicans whined and shouted that they were unfairly being kept out of the tallying process , a claim the Democrats in the crowd quickly called bullshit on given they were locked out , too .
After being locked out of the building entirely , the crowd began @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clearly , all these folks want is a safe , healthy , democracy where , uh , every vote doesn ’ t count ?
I ’ m just so tired of white people .
It looks like things might not go their way this year , so what do they do ?
Throw a temper tantrum and try to derail the entire process .
And we ’ re supposed to be the snowflakes ?
I ’ m sorry , it ’ s just been a very long 36 hours .
State election law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have 134 challenges .
As of the Free Press ’ s count , there are currently 134 Republican challengers ; 134 Democrat challengers and 134 nonpartisan challengers that include members of the ACLU and the League of Women Voters at the TCF Center .
They closed off allowing further challengers as they ’ ve surpassed the maximum amount and also , you know , there ’ s still that whole pandemic going on .
So it ’ s not as if there aren ’ t already Republican challengers there , these people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you ’ re not already convinced it ’ s a temper tantrum , only an hour after it looked as if Biden had taken the lead in the state , the vote challengers suddenly showed up en masse .
As I ’ m sure you ’ re more than aware , Michigan is one of the states still waiting to be called , and a win for either candidate could greatly shift the outcome of the election .
Of the states still waiting to be called , Michigan is only behind Pennsylvania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won .
Republicans on site kept saying the whole process is unfair , but didn ’ t give details as to how it was unfair .
Attorney Timothy Griffin , a Republican challenger from Virginia , told the Free Press “ This whole thing is under suspicion.
” He added , “ It ’ s not equal … .
It ’ s just not fair.
” Deadass , this is like when you beat your one shitty friend in Mortal Kombat and he ’ s like “ I could win too if I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exactly you cheated , dude just responds with , “ I don ’ t know , you just did.
” Sometimes you catch L ’ s , and it ’ s not from cheating , or foul play .
You just lose .
So how about we put aside the white fragility and just take the fucking L. Which , by the way , we don ’ t even know if it ’ s a fucking L yet !

Clearly, all these folks want is a safe, healthy, democracy where, uh, every vote doesn’t count?

I’m just so tired of white people. It looks like things might not go their way this year, so what do they do? Throw a temper tantrum and try to derail the entire process.

And we’re supposed to be the snowflakes?
I’m sorry, it’s just been a very long 36 hours.
State election law allows for each party contesting the vote to have 134 challenges. As of the Free Press’s count, there are currently 134 Republican challengers; 134 Democrat challengers and 134 nonpartisan challengers that include members of the ACLU and the League of Women Voters at the TCF Center.

So it’s not as if there aren’t already Republican challengers there, these people are just having a temper tantrum. If you’re not already convinced it’s a temper tantrum, only an hour after it looked as if Biden had taken the lead in the state, the vote challengers suddenly showed up en masse.
As I’m sure you’re more than aware, Michigan is one of the states still waiting to be called, and a win for either candidate could greatly shift the outcome of the election. Of the states still waiting to be called, Michigan is only behind Pennsylvania in the total electoral votes to be won.

Sometimes you catch L’s, and it’s not from cheating, or foul play. You just lose. So how about we put aside the white fragility and just take the fucking L.
Which, by the way, we don’t even know if it’s a fucking L yet!
Ughhh.
Alright, I gotta stop writing, y’all. I’m just getting mad again.

In Pennsylvania , where Trump vowed to challenge election results on Wednesday , more than 50 percent of more than 3 million mail-in ballots had been counted .

But it may take days for certain states to know the outcome of the election because different states began counting those ballots at different times. North Carolina, for example, began processing ballots weeks ago, and will likely have a final tally by Wednesday evening. This differs from Michigan and Pennsylvania, which didn’t begin processing or ballots until this week.

From the Post:
The Postal Service processed 115,630 ballots on Tuesday, a volume much lower than in recent days after weeks of warnings about chronic mail delays. Of that number, close to 8,000 ballots were not processed on time, a small proportion but one that could factor heavily in states such as Michigan and Wisconsin, which do not accept ballots after Election Day and could be decided by a few thousand votes.

Also on Tuesday, the USPS said it would not abide by a federal judge’s order that it sweep mail processing facilities in an effort to locate and deliver 300,000 ballots that could not be traced.

In Pennsylvania, where Trump vowed to challenge election results on Wednesday, more than 50 percent of more than 3 million mail-in ballots had been counted. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Trump campaign proposed three different legal challenges that would stop vote-counting in the commonwealth, particularly as votes from Philadelphians (which would favor Biden) were trickling in.

America Hates Us

I look at it and cuss .
There are few human beings on the planet who enjoy receiving an injection with a needle .
My sister—a grown-ass-woman who pushed babies out of her body and once fought a mugger who was armed with a kitchen knife — still gets anxiety attacks every time a doctor or nurse gives her a shot .
I hate it too .
But , instead of looking away , I look directly at the needle as it goes into my arm with the full knowledge that it will , at the very least , sting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technique from Maceo , my saved and sanctified youth boxing coach who , through repetition , disabused me of the habit of closing my eyes when I take a punch by allowing me to use profanity in his presence .
“ It ’ s going to sting a little bit , ” he would say , echoing the advice of my childhood pediatrician .
“ Just look at it and cuss.
” Aside from Maceo ’ s technique , I have tried every imaginable method of acclimating myself to punches .
But , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never get used to being hit .
So , when someone throws a fist at me , I instinctively spread my feet a little wider than the with of my shoulders , brace myself for impact , turn away from the punch and try to absorb the blow .
My eyes are always wide open when I am socked in the face But I can cuss like a motherfucker .
The bruising disdain that this country has for us is a gut-punch that we have absorbed time and time again .
Even real-life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cameron must pretend white supremacy doesn ’ t exist by euphemizing racism as “ outcomes , ” misspeaking or “ simply trying to do my job.
” I was reminded of this lesson as I watched the coverage of the 2020 election into the wee hours of the morning .
Even though Joe Biden will probably emerge as the victor , the results of Tuesday ’ s exercise in democracy was a reminder of the shared contempt America has for its Black citizens .
In a country so divided by politics , religion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s one unifying sentiment is its capacity to not give a fuck about Black people .
Our national antipathy toward one race of people extends across economic , political and social strata .
Muslims , Hispanics , Asians , poor Southern rednecks , rich white Northeasterners , educated liberals , low-information conservatives all receive varying doses of the unending supply of anti-Blackness .
It is America ’ s greatest domestic product .
Of course , some of these people will dismiss this criticism by oversimplifying the argument .
They will disingenuously perpetuate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying : “ Everyone who voted for Trump is racist.
” No , that ’ s not what I ’ m saying .
I ’ m saying that Donald Trump is racist .
At every instance , Trump has proven his anti-Black bona fide .
White supremacists openly embrace him and he repeatedly returns the favor .
He has insulted majority-Black countries .
He has vilified Black protesters as terrorists and praised people who kill them .
He outlawed anti-racist training ; appointed two attorneys general who are openly antagonistic toward civil rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are widely considered to be irredeemable racists , including an actual Nazi .
Sure , I understand that most Americans think they can make better choices for their lives than the government .
I know there are people who worry about government intrusion .
I can accept the fact that rich people want lower taxes and poor people think Republicans are better on economic issues .
I know some people are guided by faith .
But if your preference for small government , lower taxes , unborn fetuses , Christianity or economic anxiety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , lying , corrupt incompetent white nationalist , then , by definition , you care more about these issues than you care about Black people being subjected to the whims of an immoral , lying , corrupt incompetent white nationalist .
Also , anyone who voted for Trump is racist .

All of a sudden , the potential lottery winner spotted a Black person in the road obstructing the path to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intentionally hit the gas instead of the brakes , killing the Black person but securing their ticket to the jackpot .
The people who voted for Trump don ’ t hate Black people .
They simply care more about the possibility of their lottery winnings than they care about living , breathing human beings .
And yes , the fault lies in the fact that these people live in a capitalist society where Black lives are worth less than the possibility of the economic and social windfall that whiteness offers .
But it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they reduced a Black body to a slightly inconvenient speed bump .
And trust me , I know how the lottery works .
The Irish became white by assimilating into America ’ s civil corp and joining in on Black oppression .
The regularly recurring nativist movements allowed Italians , Jews and even Catholics to win the white Powerball .
And , again every Black person in America knows that the path to becoming a real American is directly through Black bodies .
We assume there will be voter suppression , purges , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every election day .
The whole reason we show up at the polls is that we know that we must extend our arms and sacrifice our blood for the sake of our future health .
And even after we cast our ballots , we brace ourselves , eyes wide open , fully expecting America to punch us in our black-ass faces .
We can fight like a motherfucker .
But goddamn , will this shit ever stop stinging ?

#1: LG 4k oled tvs
If you’re going to give OLED a try, this might be the time to start considering. I’ll contend you can still get away with an LG B7, the baseline from a couple of generations ago, but the TVs have gotten exceptional. Burn-in and input lag are two of the biggest knocks against OLED, especially for gamers, but according to reviews, that should be a non-issue on the LG CX. So long as you’re not watching the news or playing games with the same HUD for many consecutive hours on end, you shouldn’t run into any nasty image retention issues anytime soon.
Now down to its all-time low price of $1,397 for the 55" model or $1,850 for the 65" size after applying the on-page coupon, the CX is one of the best LG currently has to offer. It begins with that beautiful OLED panel, of course, which bids sayonara to muddy grays and backlight bleed thanks to its per-pixel lighting. For movies, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision HDR return to give you the best cinematic experience possible, the latter adding a feature that automatically tunes the picture around your ambient lighting conditions and the content you’re watching.
The TV also includes both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync, both of which are gaming features that eliminate screen tearing with little (if any) added input lag. Because of these tailored features, along with its gorgeous visuals and uniquely low price point, I’ve seen countless people in the gaming industry—including Bugsnax creator Philip Tibotoski, PCMag and Tom’s Guide writer Tony Polanco, and IGN’s Wesley DeBlanc—raving about the LG CX on Twitter. Buy it now and prepare yourself properly for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

#2: TCL 4k smart tvs
Dear diary: the day is November 4. I’ve escaped into a nearby abandoned subway and Americans everywhere are even more fiercely adhered to their screens than ever before. If you’ve resolved to hunker down and follow every single bit of Election Day coverage you can, consider putting a new TV on your ticket. TCL’s models go pretty cheap while still delivering a crisp 4K picture and a voice-activated Android TV smart platform. At Best Buy, you can grab one of these 50" sets for just $230, a $120 drop from usual. If you need a little more room, the 55" is just another $20.
This deal was originally published by Quentyn Kennemer.
#3: amazon fire tv stick
If you really don’t care about your Fire Stick having volume controls, or just love having two remotes, Amazon Fire Stick Lite could be your jam. At only $18, it’s the newest version of the Fire TV Stick and can get you linked up with Netflix, Hulu, and all the other streaming services you love. Just plug it in the back of your TV in the HDMI plug and you’re good to go. It’s a pretty good bargain, so if you’re in the mood and want a deal, I’d snatch it up. Quick.

#7: Ninja foodi 5-in-1 air fryer

This is the smaller 4-quart model, which doesn’t have quite as many functions as Ignacia’s—it’s missing slow and pressure cooking—but for simpler needs, this’ll get you by just fine.

Considering what ’ s at stake with this presidential election , I completely understand if you ’ ve spent the last 24 hours yanking every strand of hair from your head or have gnawed your fingernails into stubs .
It ’ s a lot to process .
But as stressed the fuck out as we all are as votes continue to be counted in critical battleground states , we aren ’ t alone .
The rest of the world pretty much feels the exact same way .
Take Vladimir Zhirinovsky , leader of Russia ’ s Liberal Democratic Party for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presumably meddling with our presidential election bemoaned the “ anarchy ” crippling America and predicted that Trump will “ still emerge the winner because he ’ s done more for Americans than any president before him ” despite facing “ obstruction from the very first day.

“ It ’ s better for Russia if there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loser will not resort to claims of foreign interference , ” Kosachev said while doing a poor-ass job of pretending like Russia didn ’ t already interfere with our 2016 presidential election .
“ It ’ s time for America to return to the politics of sanity.

“ Trump makes the world a more dangerous place for all of us and I hope to see him lose.
” Oh shit !
Me too !
On the flipside are far-right leaders in Europe like Janez Janša , Prime Minister of Slovenia , who ’ s pissed it ’ s taking so long for Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s pretty clear that American people have elected  @ realDonaldTrump @ Mike_Pence for # 4moreyears , ” he tweeted .

No really , what the fuck is that about ?
Maine , what the fuck did you do ?
It ’ s bad enough that we will have to deal with McConnell ’ s inflated turkey neck and Graham ’ s molestation of Trump ’ s ass but you really just gave us six more years of Collin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bullshit ?
!
Why do you hate us , Maine ?
Why would you give this evil den mother another term ?
Collins will serve her fifth term in Congress .
Fifth , the number after four , term in Congress all because they didn ’ t like the cut of Sara Gideon ’ s jib .

The tricycle of Senate evil consists of three wheels: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Trump’s whipping boy Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine).
Both Kentucky and South Carolina rejected positive, nonracist change to vote both McConnell and Graham back into office. Both states also voted for Trump. But what’s confusing about Maine, and what makes me “deeply concerned” (Susan Collins voice) is that Maine voted for Biden, and then, as if all of Maine got together to completely tie Biden’s hands behind his back, they reelected arguably the most troubling handmaid and sinister woman to ever troll America with her call-to-conscious bullshit that she pours on during overtly troubling decisions: shaky-voice Susan Collins.

Police in Tiburon , Calif. , are investigating a threat leveled against the city ’ s only Black-owned business .
According to investigators , a social media post threatened to “ raid ” the local clothing store—which made headlines in August after the owners accused Tiburon police of racial profiling—if Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the presidential election .
Yema—a clothing store on Main Street and “ the only business in town with Black proprietors , ” according to The Mercury News—was targeted by an Instagram post from a now-deactivated account that read , “ If Biden wins me and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 4:00 on Election Day show up.
” The post , which came from an account under the handle “ griffin.williams72 , ” was accompanied by a photo of Yema ’ s storefront .
Concerned citizens forwarded the post to the store ’ s owners , Yema Khalif and Hawi Awash .
Khalif , an immigrant from Kenya , said the post is “ horrible , it shows all the hate coming out.
” Khalif said the citizens who shared the post with them are parents of students at Del Mar Middle School @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post by their child who follows the account .
“ Where we come from , we are not allowed to make those jokes , ” Khalif said .
“ We take it as a full threat , and that ’ s how we look at it.

They said that , around 1 a.m. , they observed a patrol car repeatedly circling the block and parking across the street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming in to confront them .
The officers informed them that the street “ closes at 9 o ’ clock at night , and this isn ’ t regular business hours , ” asked “ Is this your store ?

“ We will react accordingly.

Police in Tiburon, Calif., are investigating a threat leveled against the city’s only Black-owned business. According to investigators, a social media post threatened to “raid” the local clothing store—which made headlines in August after the owners accused Tiburon police of racial profiling—if Democratic nominee Joe Biden wins the presidential election.
Yema—a clothing store on Main Street and “the only business in town with Black proprietors,” according to The Mercury News—was targeted by an Instagram post from a now-deactivated account that read, “If Biden wins me and the boys gonna go raid yemma, 4:00 on Election Day show up.”

As for the most recent threat to the store made by an apparently enthusiastic Trump supporter willing to commit an act of domestic terrorism if their cult leader isn’t reelected, Town Manager Greg Chanis said interim police Chief Jamie Scardina is aware of the post and will increase police patrol in the area.

theroot--2020-11-04--As Expected, Trump Continues His Delusional Fight Against Mail-In Ballots

President Donald Trump tries to act like he doesn ’ t listen to mainstream media but he does and he heard the same news that we did ; that mail-in ballots were likely to favor Biden because Democrats aren ’ t about that “ standing in line during a fucking pandemic ” life .
So of course , before the election , Trump and his goon squad started a full-on assault against mail-in voting , calling the process “ fraud ” and the results bullshit .
So the presidential election played out the way that many expected ( although way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely to carry a nice amount of the in-person votes and that Joe Biden would make it a competition , or even come roaring back after the mail-in ballots were counted .
Keep in mind that in three key battleground states—Pennsylvania , Michigan and Wisconsin—Republicans wouldn ’ t allow absentee ballots to be processed and counted until right before or on Election Day .
T hen once the polls were closed and votes were to be counted , Republicans got pissed that all the ballots weren ’ t counted .
Trump , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the election is a complete sham .
In fact , Twitter has had to step in to claim many of Trump ’ s tweets are “ misleading .
” The president of the United States for a few more months is acting like he doesn ’ t understand what ’ s happening to his leads in many states .
He ’ s acting like the election is being “ stolen ” from him and not that mail-in ballots are votes from people who didn ’ t want to stand in line during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like a sore loser and even claiming that votes are being found out of nowhere .
In short , the president is acting like a whiny little brat .
He ’ s been setting this stage for months .
Not because there was an actual problem with the voting system but because he knew what was going to happen and didn ’ t like the projected outcome .
Republicans have historically tried to suppress making voting equal across the board because they know that equal and easy voting hurts them .
For months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed that mail ballots can be “ manipulated.
” “ This is going to be a fraud like you ’ ve never seen , ” the president said during the first televised debate .
He ’ s been setting up this grift for quite some time and the people , those who believe that the president is actually a successful businessman , not only believe him but are helping to carry his message across social media .
And it ’ s all bullshit .
All of it .
And Trump knows it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ snowy lie can get enough speed , it has the potential to become an avalanche .
His existence and presidency is proof .
On election night , Trump already declared himself the victor despite millions of votes still waiting to be counted , adding : “ This is a fraud on the American public .
This is an embarrassment to our country .
We were getting ready to win this election .
Frankly , we did win this election , ” Trump said from the East Room of the White House , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jan. Oh , and because he wasn ’ t done , he added : “ This is a major fraud on our nation .
We want the law to be used in a proper manner .
So we ’ ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court .
We want all voting to stop .
We don ’ t want them to find any ballots at four o ’ clock in the morning and add them to the list .
It ’ s a very sad moment.
” No , what is sad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human skin costume can ’ t accept defeat .
What ’ s also sad is that the election was even this close .
What ’ s possibly the saddest is that there really are a swath of people out here ( Mostly Floridians , because fuck them ) that truly believe some secret group worked to take this presidency from Trump .
I hate to say it , but America is fucked y ’ all .
