Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

It's Here

We're going to have warm temps today in Central Pa with a high in the low 70s (F) and skies that are a bold Democratic Blue. Rain is going to be moving into the area tomorrow, so celebrate the sunshine while it lasts.

Yesterday was different.  There was anticipation of the upcoming election results as I did several loads of laundry and baked a loaf of bread. I'd thought of going out and buying a bottle of celebratory wine, but worried that I might end up being disappointed and didn't want to end up drowning my tears.  So, I tried taking mini-naps instead.  Well... that didn't work.  I'd lay there, closing my eyes only to picture long lines of voters waiting to cast their ballots in favor of... damn!  I was concerned.  And yet, I was what I consider remarkably calm.  My thin layer of anxiety could barely cover my inner peace.  I knew in my heart that the Americans who hated Trump were in the millions, I just didn't know how many millions, or if those many, many millions would go out and vote.  They did.  And the fist of repudiation pounded the shit out of him, his policies, the Republican party, and those Evangelical Christians who foolishly believed that God would send a human so loathsome to give them what they wanted.


I turned on NBC around 8ish and was quite pleased shortly after that to see that Georgia was going to send Roy Cooper to the Senate, and even more so when Keisha Lance Bottoms was announced as the  winner of that state's governor's race.

As the polls of more states began closing, that first trickle became a wave, and then a tsunami.  The last time the United States had this type of political upheaval was in 1974, after the Watergate Scandal.  

So, what does this mean?  For the next two years Trump will not be able to replace a member of his cabinet or a Supreme Court Justice with someone who wants to kiss his ass, should one of them quit. Investigations will begin on his allies and members of his family.  This loser president is not a team player, so he will continue to issue Executive Order after Executive Order.  The House and Senate will legislate against them and smart Republicans, who want to have a political career, will vote with the Democrats.  Trump will not give up his authoritarian tendencies, so the anger against him will continue to build.

I hope his seatbelt is fastened, because he's going to have a bumpy ride.

Vote Blue. Bring Back Democracy

Well, we've got 51 (F) outside as I type.  Our high to day will be in the low 70s (F).  With not a cloud in the sky, this is perfect voting weather.  Tomorrow is going to be a repeat of today, which means it's going to be perfect weather to start finalizing the count, so make sure that your vote is part of that count!

I did work yesterday, and once again I was an aisle associate who spent more of my time being a specialist than anything else.  That's fine.  I was very busy for most of the day.  As I was leaving, I reminded many associates to go vote today.  The weather is going to be fine for standing in line.

The space bar on my laptop is getting sticky.  I might have to switch this one out with the sporty laptop upstairs.

Today is election day, in case I haven't mentioned it yet.  It's my understanding that if things go awry for the Republican party, there will be a very bloody civil war among their registered voters legislative leaders.  This might be a good reason to go out and vote Blue.


I understand that the Orange Anus spent most of the night shit posting on Truth Social.  He's a bitter old man who's lied to himself all of his life about his own popularity.  Now his ego is having to deal with a possible wave of Blue hatred.  This is a very good thing.   A large failure for him will mean his cronies will be hit with the same crushing reality.  Elonia has spent nearly a half billion dollars to save both his tax breaks and government contracts.  His reality might just end up getting washed away.  This also would be a very good thing.

Make sure you are part of this momentum.  That would be a really great thing!

Vote blue.  Bring back Democracy!
