In the months leading up to the 2020 election, many wondered how Donald Trump would handle an impending defeat. Would he accept the results and bow out with dignity? Or, would he take the less graceful route and refuse to concede? According to CNN, the president has refused to prepare a concession speech despite Joe Biden‘s expanding lead. Some outlets have already declared […]
As he stares down defeat, Donald Trump sowed doubt in American democracy by questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. The president reiterated baseless claims during a Thursday night speech from the White House, accusing Democrats of trying to steal the election through fraudulent ballots. “If you count the legal votes I easily win,” he said. “If you […]
Paula White, a prosperity gospel hawker and so-called “spiritual adviser” to Trump, has careened into headlines this week thanks to a video featuring some startling nonsensicality centered around the 2020 presidential election. The clips in question, which are rife with memeable bullshittery, come from a recent livestream event during which White attempted to passionately pray (i.e. scream into […]
In perhaps the least shocking news of the year, Americans actively sought to cope with election night by buying alcohol, weed, and takeout. The Los Angeles Times reports that businesses selling food, liquor, and marijuana reported a surge in sales on Tuesday and Wednesday. Boston-based Alcohol delivery service Drizly told the Times that sales rose by 68 percent from the previous […]
Donald Trump was reportedly livid with Fox News on Tuesday night, after the conservative news network declared Joe Biden the winner of Arizona.

Part-time Trump troller John Legend strikes again. On Wednesday afternoon, the Grammy-winning artist mocked the president for “claiming” a series of victories in undecided battleground states. Trump tweeted: “We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which […]
50 Cent stays on brand by offering his unsolicited 2 cents on Lil Wayne‘s relationship status. On Wednesday, the G-Unit rapper took to Twitter to respond to a TMZ report that claims Denise Bidot broke up with Weezy after several months of dating. The purported cause of the split? Wayne’s recent support for President Donald Trump—a move that […]
Sen. Bernie Sanders quite accurately predicted how the 2020 election would quickly become poisoned by a deeply depressing false narrative built on continued attempts at disparaging wholly valid mail-in ballots. During an interview with Jimmy Fallon in October, as many have since revisited amid the ongoing Trump-centered fuckery of the election, Sanders explained that the […]
While the 2020 election votes are still being counted, it’s safe to say Kanye West won’t be America’s next president. Joining the presidential race relatively late, Kanye failed to make it on a good portion of the ballots of many states. Across the 12 states in which he did appear on the ballot, the Guardian reports he […]
Biden‘s campaign said early Wednesday they had legal teams “standing by” should Trump, who falsely declared victory in the presidential election despite the race being quite obviously undecided, follow through on his threat to go to court in an effort to block the counting of votes. Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s campaign manager, rightfully noted Trump’s “naked effort” to […]
