Nov 5th is election day.
Well, if that’s not foreshadowing. US Election Day = Guy Fawkes Day.
Trump wouldn’t know who Guy Fawkes is. US Election Day falls on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. It’s just a coincidence it happens to be the 5th this year. My comment was mostly a direct reply to OP.
Why have it on a Tuesday? Why not on a weekend so more people aren’t at work?
Oh, yeah, that’s why.
It’s apparently a hold over from olden times when good Christian farmers weren’t going to skip church to travel to the county seat and vote. So Monday is a travel day and Tuesday is when you vote. Or something like that.
Voting day and daylight savings time are the two immutable objects in American life.
Edit: and both are catering to farmers. Those and corn subsidies are the 3 immutable objects in American life, all catering to farmers.

Unless your George W Bush, in which case DST can be rescheduled by 2 weeks and cause everything with automatic time changes but no updates to be manually adjusted twice a year…
Valid point. In my head I was speaking of the existence of DST, not when it changed. But I did use the word “immutable”, so I guess I’m back to 2 of those - Tuesday voting and corn subsidies.
Presumably he’s trying to rile up demonstrations at polling places themselves.
Demonstration, intimidation, physically preventing anyone not wearing a MAGA hat from voting… Potato potato
HA! Could you imagine if we all got together and bought red hats and Trump lost? There would be fucking chaos. The morons would be in the streets screaming about how they saw nothing but MAGA voters.
Eight years in and I’m still pissed about those fucking hats. I have this nice red cap that a friend gave me almost 15 years ago. It was custom-made, and has a starburst image that a third friend created… and the cap base is the exact same shade of red as those fucking Trump hats, so I’ve not been able to wear it in public for 8 years.
I had a coca cola hat that I used to wear. I gave up on it after the third person said they thought it was a MAGA hat at a distance.
You might be overthinking it
When I was toddler back in the early 80s, I couldn’t say grandma because enunciation hard. So I said it the best I could. Phonetically, it was maw-gah but when I got a bit older and could spell, it was Maga. To this day I still call her that and so do my kids.
Why? Are you worried about offending some mouth breather?
You’re looking at it the wrong way. You’re keeping morons away from you.
Nah it’s a real thing. The baseball team here has red hats and you used to see them everywhere. You see a lot of team hats in not red now, it’s not about “offending some mouth breather” it’s about a person a block away seeing me in my red hat and assuming I’m the mouth breather.
They ruined actual red hats faster than RedHat ruined a linux distro.
it’s about a person a block away seeing me in my red hat and assuming
You’re not getting it. The person assuming you’re a trump supporter because you have a red hat IS THE MOUTH BREATHER.
Why do you care so much about what strangers think? If they assume then they are the assholes.
It’s asshole mouth breather repellent.
Yeah bro its totally a peace symbol bro. No way just wear it around town and anyone that assumes you’re a Nazi is a total mouth breather lol.
You’re free to feel however you want. I live in a reasonably sized city with a thriving arts and music scene, I’d like be able to go out for meals and drinks and go to various events and have conversations and interactions with people without their first impression of me being “ohfuck ohfuck ohfuck” as they struggle to read my hat as I walk by.
That they’d steer clear of a MAGAt doesn’t paint them as a mouth breather in this day and age; it makes them seem wary and like someone I’d agree with.
NOVEMBER 5TH WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!
FEBRUARY 30TH WILL NOT BE!
AND FEBRUARY 29TH IS THIS YEAR BUT NOT THE NEXT OR THE ONE AFTER THAT UNTIL THE NEXT ELECTION YEAR
Maybe not next year but there was one year, in one country. https://www.timeanddate.com/date/february-30.html
Is Trump on Twitter again?
Yes, elon reversed his permanent ban
And also Trump promised he’d never use Twitter again. So obviously he’s back on, despite the great success of his own platform
The $45 million a month Elon is giving his superPAC helps
*promised to give. Anyone following self-driving cars over the last decade knows Elon’s promises are worth nothing.
Did he not back out of that less than a month after he announced it
I hadn’t read that but I wouldn’t be surprised.
He’s not using Twitter, he’s using X
Hope that clears it up 🤗
Oh God, that emoji made me think of his accordion hand gestures. Was that the intention? It’s ruined forever
Oh god I see it too! Not intended, I just use that emoji when I’m being silly
Trump has never kept a promise in his life. His words are literally meaningless. The fact that anyone follows him is preposterous. Yet, here we are.
He did that months ago. Trump just had a noncompete with Truth Social that ran out which restricted him from posting anywhere else.
Lol, he doesn’t even own his own network, yet people think he’s a master businessman?
The ban was reversed months ago, that’s correct. Trump just recently started posting though. Iirc his deal with truth social was that he could post to other platforms, but he needed to wait 6 hours after posting on trutg before doing so.
He’s waiting for the 6 month mandatory period to expire, when he will dump ihs DJT stock and make an absolute killing. Maybe finally become an actual billionaire.
Then he will be back on shitter full time. Payoff for fElon will be more users on his site, while Truth Social folds.
Shut the fuck up. That kind of language is how Stephen Fry gets killed.
Don’t worry, he’ll just have to do some boring fundraiser and in the meantime he’ll have the highest ratings.
Even more of a coincidence is that the recent UK general election was held on 4th July!
When he was tweeting for his followers to amass and how it was going to get “wild” (from memory I think that’s what he said) on January 6th long in advance I was freaked out but everyone said that was not a big deal.
I still doubt anyone will see this as a big deal the second time :/
YOuRe bEiNg AlArMisT!
D for Dementia
That’s good enough for me!
The FBI do not care about you at all.
They’re too busy shutting down Torrent sites for their corporate owners.
New Zealand citizen Kim Dotcom has entered the chat.
The FBI gives a shit because Trump has threatened to overhaul their whole dept.
Well if there’s no consequences, he’s gonna do it again. Every parent to a toddler knows this.
I think he needs a loooong timeout.
Holy shit!! He said something that I actually agree with. I didn’t think that would ever happen.
VOTE!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that wouldn’t be able to vote without it. Anything you can do, it will make a difference.
Get ready for armed dip shits at polling stations across America
I mean yea? It’s election day for an election that I think both sides consider pretty important. Granted, that’s a bit of hyperbole, but this is a far cry from a call to violence. Harris could say the exact same thing, in fact she’s likely has said something similar.
Saying this is a threat isn’t just an overreaction, it’s downright embarrassing. This is the kind of crap the right shares to try and paint Dems as weak, thin-skinned, idiots.
Trump says so much awful shit that warrants this reaction, but not EVERYTHING does FFS.
Woosh
Is there a joke I’m missing?
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!
Nevermind, missed the post title
IDK if a joke, but it’s a reference to the gunpowder plot.
Maybe the comments here are, but the original tweet has literally zero reference to it. There is no joke in the original tweet, just pearl clutching.
It’s the title of the post? The fifth of November is Guy Fawkes day, Gunpowder Plot.
Ah yea, missed the post title. My bad.
I think that’s their point, that the joke is flimsy to begin with
Yeah, that’s what I originally assumed, but their response didn’t make sense.
Yes… November 5th is the gunpowder plot anniversary made famous (again in NA by the movie V For Vendetta)
Yes. Your reaction is a bit dramatic.
Itll be the most relieving day since we’ll finally be rid of his sorry ass
As much as I want to believe you, I don’t think we’ll be rid of him till he shuffles off the mortal coil. His cult is too large and too loud.
Sometimes I worry about what they’ll do after he joins the choir invisible. Messiah cults don’t just go away when their messiah has ceased to be.
I’m sure one of his progeny will take up the grift
Can’t be Barron, the Lakers still need a center, Junior and Eric are extremely stupid and will cause their fathers voters to turn away to different republicans, and the other are women, making them a no go.
I know youre joking but it would be funny if Barron became a respected basket ball player or something and seperated himself from his fathers legacy. I really do hope the kid has good luck, he shouldnt be burdened by the crimes of his father.
Every story about him is funny, man is insanely tall, reportedly good at soccer, and refused to touch politics and instead plays games on his phone or skips rallies to hang out with his girlfriend.
Well, he did say he would leave the country if he lost. Now knowing him to be the pathological liar he is, you could well have a point but i guarantee he’ll be walking on thin ice if he stays.
He said we’d never hear from him again if Biden won and that was a fucking lie.
There’s no way the counting will be done that day. I expect it to take a week before the results are clear but still several recounts
Finally. The brits burned down the White House, it’s about time they get some retaliation. And he may be immune in the US, but not in the UK, so we could solve two problems at the same time.
Didn’t they do that in 1812?
- And no, we haven’t forgotten about it.
