{{{Pix}}} As I said elsewhere, my doomscrolling got a lot doomier. I'm glad you thought to come here for refuge! Do you want commiseration or distraction (or both (or anything))?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm glad they are taking it seriously, sj, and sorry it happened.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Pix, I'm NGL. I had a thought that it sure would be terrible if Thomas caught COVID at the swearing in ceremony. Just awful.

Kavanaugh and Thomas can share an ICU room.

I am finding online puzzling to be really soothing and helpful in taking my mind off of all of the awful from time to time. I even went so far as to subscribe to the NYT puzzle/games section. Anyone else do the Spelling Bee, by chance? I do all of them, but I'm really digging the Spelling Bee right now.
Tonight I'm doing phone (well, text) banking for the first time. I am kicking myself for waiting so long to do it. So, the rest of the afternoon I will spend reading up on what I need to know to be useful.

I was starting to feel better about the election, but SCOTUS news is making me start to think that a whole lot of votes may not be counted. I'm back to thinking that Trump will win the election via court decisions despite losing the vote soundly.

I could see that with one or two states, Gud. With six or more states to fight I see his legal staff fleeing like the rats they are knowing they won't get paid. Let's focus on the win being so overwhelming that the GOP faithful turn their backs on him.

Good grief. Double post.

I want a fucking blue tsunami next week that drowns those GOP motherfuckers. I want the Oval Office, House, and Senate to be overwhelmingly blue, and fuck every goddamn one of those motherfuckers. I'd prefer that that zombie-ass motherfucker McConnell lose, but if not, I'll love it so much to watch him deal with Warren as Senate Majority Leader (unless she ends up in Biden's Cabinet).
It's going to take so long to repair the damage these motherfuckers have done to the country, but with a Democratic-controlled House, Senate, and Oval Office, they have a shot at doing it.
I want that SO much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think the GOP establishment got what they wanted from Trump, the SCOTUS, and they are not going to put themselves at risk by doing a lot of illegal things to hand him the election. If he clearly wins, fine, but of he wants to do a lot of shady legal maneuvering to cheat his way in, they are not going to support him. He is now more a detriment than a boon to the party, and they have their eyes on their own elections.
