Whom does this picture represent? To me this guy doesn't look like Trump. Yes, they are both overweight, but the face looks different.

Its Jeb Bush and the 2020 vote count. He was a presidential candidate. Now he's a meme.

By "2020 vote count" do you mean primaries?

No, its a graphic supposed to represent Biden taking the lead over Trump late into the count after absentee/mail votes started being counted in some states in the 2020 presidential election(the blue jump above red). Then at the last minute Jeb Bush takes the lead (yellow line) (the joke started in 2016 after he lost to Trump in the Republican primaries). They y axis is # of votes, the x axis is time.

I am sure that MOST of us needed to have it explained to us.

But you shoulda had another candidate overtake and beat out Jeb and at an even steeper slope: Kanye West.

I read online the Kanye West, though he knew he wouldnt win, thought that he would get a million or more votes. He only got 60 thousand, and that makes him depressed.

Earlier I joked that Trump might take the same train of thought taken by Hitler in the later's last moments and decide that "the American people are not worthy of me". But it turns that Kanye actually consider leaving America because "I am too good for the American people".

I guess we all owe Kanye on apology for not being worthy of him!

He's going to be the GOP nominee in 2024. This has only delayed the inevitable.

Does anyone understands the reasoning behind the policy not to allow vote count to be observed? Here are two obvious questions:

a) What would stop people who count votes from simply making up the number that would favor whatever candidate that person happens to favor? Its not even about Republicans or Democrats, I think people on either side can lie if nobody watches them, thats just human nature.

b) I guess if the above is just a sacrifice for "greater good" then maybe it would make sense. But what "is" the greater good here? I guess right now "greater good" is looking credible. But what about November 3? What bad thing would have happened if, on November 3, people were allowed to observe the vote count from as close the distance as they like?

I guess if thats the policy they had in other elections too then I can still see how Trump is being a bit dishonest in that he didn't protest all the previous elections and he only protests the one that he lost. But still the question remains: *why* did they have that policy in the previous elections? Just because something happens over and over that doesn't remove the question as to why it happens. And, by the way, did they, in fact, have that policy, or is it something recent?

What policy about not allowing the vote count to be observed? Are you referring to the vote counting where the Republicans wanted to bring in more observers than what they are legally entitled to have?
