Glam, I am right there with you.

Way to go, msbelle.

I can hear one of my neighbors, a black man, ranting on the phone about all this mess. Dude, I hear you and I am so sorry.

Timelies all!

{{{Hugs}}} for all who want/need them. I wish I could offer more.

Holy shit, y'all! I just found out that a friend of mine in NYC dated Trump decades ago. She is terrified by the prospect of him being President—unsurprisingly, he had a monstrous ego and was a complete asshole way back then.

I know that our GOP "friends" have opened investigations with far less evidence. So do we bury our heads in the sand in the aim of bringing the country together (a noble goal, typical of the Democrat way), or do we push for this and get the truth? And feel free to tell me if I'm being a tin-foil hat wearing nutjob because I kind of feel like one, but I'm also looking at truths.

I want an investigation.

As disastrous and terrifying as President Trump may be, I think the Electors handing the presidency to Clinton would start an actual civil war.

I agree. And if the situation were reversed (electoral college to Clinton, popular vote to Trump), I wouldn't want them handing the presidency to Trump.

Suzi, calm~ma.

Maria, I'm glad you were able to get through your meeting. I texted you because I was concerned, but I don't know if it went through.

Wow, Matt, I bet she has stories. Dang.

I want an investigation.

Don't see how one will happen.

I thought the FBI was already investigating Russian hacking? Or will that all stop now?

Okay, I just made my Holy-Shit-Trump-Was-Elected appointment with my OB/GYN. I was actually overdue for my annual checkup anyway.

I worry about Tim, because in the last several years he's gotten a bit more relaxed about leaving the house dressed as Ava (or taking the trash out in a skirt or whatever), because our neighborhood doesn't give a shit (or will at the very least not actively harm him for it).

But I told him Wednesday that I really want him to not set foot outside our house unless he's in dude clothes head to toe. He said, "Already planned that." This is bullshit.

One of the guys in my improv class is a guy of Middle Eastern ancestry. He did not come to class on Wednesday. I hope he's okay. Physically, I mean. I'm sure he's a wreck mentally.

I recommend the documentary Zero Days about the Stuxnet virus if you want to understand how nation state hacking works in today's world. The nut graf is that we had a brief window of advantage when we were fucking with the Iran nuclear centrifuges, but now everybody is so powerful that all the major nation states can successfully take out another country's power grid etc.

We're basically at the Cyber equivalent of the nuclear strategy of Mutual Assured Destruction to keep everybody in line.
