I didn't know there was that response in '08 there. I attended Obama's 1st inauguration in a theater and found myself crying in a back seat from the accumulated stress of recession and everything - it just really tapped something.

Replying to @JessicaValenti and @chrislhayes The irony is that Trump did this. His utter horribleness united us, against him.I knew we’d be happy but I didn’t realize we’d be spontaneous dance parties in the street happy. What a moment pic.twitter.com/8NsGheybEU

They’ll have a chance to do more soon. The Senate run-offs are scheduled for Jan. 5. The New Georgia Project is already posting memes that advise young people who turn 18 before Dec. 7 that they will be eligible to be part of the youth turnout for the first time. If they vote the same way other teens and twentysomethings voted in the general election, this generation of Georgians could offer the new President the missing key to his first term: Democratic power in the Senate.With the country's highest youth voter turnout, Georgia's young people played a key role in the 2020 election https://t.co/neJYadHtAy

Donald Trump’s final tweet before he was named the loser of the election:
— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) November 7, 2020
“I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT!”
Twitter has placed a warning label on it.
LOL.
To All The Trump Supporters Your “FORMER” President Just Tweeted “I Won This Election, By A lot”. He’s Lied To Y’all For 4 Years & Y’all Believed Him!!! So He Just Gave Y’all One More Lie For The Road!! At Least He Stayed Consistent! He Came In A Liar & Left One!!! ππΎ

I thought The Four Seasons was a fancy hotel. The Four Seasons Landscaping is a landscaping company. Trump's 11:30 press conference was going to be a mulch place! A mulch place! Is there a better ending to this shitshow? π€£π€£π€£ pic.twitter.com/crrjJ8lFy6

Opposite the Total Landscaping head office in State Road is a cremation center and a venue that specialises in "memorial tribute gatherings"
— Peter Broks (@peterbroks) November 7, 2020
Sounds about right.
Seeing a lot of confusion about President Trump's whereabouts. He's not attending the press conference in Philadelphia with his legal team, which is not at the Four Seasons Hotel but Four Seasons Total Landscaping. The president meanwhile is at his golf course in Virginia.
— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 7, 2020
And wouldn't ya know? Total Landscaping has poor reviews on Google. Very very low ratings. Apparently they can't keep their shit straight. Can't think of a better fit for this really important meeting.

In case anyone is curious. π It’s also close to a penitentiary. pic.twitter.com/gUFNGsc3xD

Even more amazing...This Four Seasons debacle by Trump takes place about 3 blocks from the newer Philadelphia prison (Curran-Fromhold), only a few more blocks away from the old Holmesburg prison. Just a hop, skip + a jump from a prison opportunity...

P.S. It is now 7:00pm...And it's 10 hours since Trump last tweeted. Some have noted that this is most unusual for the tweet addicted Trump... And now it is 9:30pm... 12 hours since Trump last tweeted...
