I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight. But I'm not sure if I will fall asleep and/or stay asleep. I wish there was a good game on to distract me. I am obviously a big politics/news junkie but at this point I can't take it and the analysis will drive me nuts. And my kids don't need to see me in that state.CameronBornAndBred wrote: ↑November 5th, 2024, 8:42 amI'm working today (probably will be very slow) but I'm taking at least the morning off tomorrow. I know I'll be up way late and likely emotionally drained.

Well at least the folks that know they are on Trump's retaliation list have time to pack up.

If this puts me on the list, so be it. Since there are a limited number of places I frequent that are open to this kind of thing, congratulations, you get it. If you've seen it already, I apologize. I don't get out much.

Re: The Political Junkie Thread
I finally found my way over here. Four days later and I’m still discouraged and upset. How can a majority of the country prefer a convicted felon and sexual predator who plans to round up and execute his political opponents? It has become a trademark of our country now that a demonstrably unqualified rich white guy always wins over a supremely qualified female. This one just happens to be dangerously unfit to serve. I guaran-damn-tee that a majority of his followers heard sanewashed versions of his speeches, if they heard anything at all that he said during the campaign. I’d say they deserve what is coming at this point, but they have unleashed it on all of us.
I guess the one bright side of his winning is that it lessens the likelihood of a civil war. We all know he was laying the groundwork to incite one if he didn’t win.

Re: The Political Junkie Thread
I've intentionally not followed the news since Tuesday, other than the weather. My wife asks me what's going on the world, and my answer is "fuckifIknow". I'll tune back in at some point, but right now I need the sanity break.

This might very well be the best thing I’ve seen this week. Thanks so much for sharing!

Re: The Political Junkie Thread
The people have spoken.
I hope everyone is well - especially the folks who voted with the minority.
If you aren’t, I hear wrapping yourself in one of these is like receiving a warm hug https://a.co/d/6SWwgbr
BTW, the boys have healed up well. No scars.

Kari Lake loses. She's insufferable. I'm assuming she'll fight this loss for the next four years just as she did with the Governorship.

The sweep is complete as the Republicans take the House.
They now have the White House, The Senate, The House, and The Supreme Court. America is all in on Red.
