It already feels like an eternity, but just a few days ago the entire United States was an anxious mess.

And on Wednesday, in the thick of the vote counting week from Hell, the official GOP Twitter shared a voter fraud hotline and encouraged supporters to report any fraudulent voting they were aware of.


For supporters of Trump "voter fraud" and "stop the count" were common rallying cries throughout the week.

The paranoid anti-voting rhetoric was spurred by the President's baseless allegations that many illegal votes were cast after election night. He even sued several states to stop vote counting, but judges repeatedly ruled against him and the counting continued.

So apparently, Trump and the GOP hoped a whole bunch of complaints ought to do the trick.

But that plan backfired in epic fashion, as countless pro-Biden voters instead "reported" Donald Trump and co. for all of their paranoid election antics.







Some replies imagined even more creative responses to the hotline.



Amazingly enough, this was not the only voter fraud hotline that totally blew up in the face of the Trump effort.

A couple days later on Friday, Trump's son Eric posted a tweet with the following alarmist rhetoric:

"HELP STOP VOTER SUPPRESSION, IRREGULARITIES AND FRAUD. TELL US WHAT YOU ARE SEEING."

But as the NY Post reported, when people called the number listed in that same Tweet, they were merely given a 16-minute recording of old Trump Campaign speeches followed by an error message.

Then the call ended without asking for any information.

So what's the takeaway from all of this? Trump's arguments about voter fraud are not doing well in the court of law and even these attempts to sway the court of public opinion were a total bust.

For all that anti-counting paranoia throughout the week, the counting continued until Joe Biden was projected winner of the Presidency on Saturday.

Still, we can expect the tweets to keep pouring in.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
