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.

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.
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.
I'd like to see every elected office go blue - from the Oval Office down to the local dog catcher. Mayors, governors, state legislatures and senates - all of them.
I'm hopeful for my state congressional seat. Last time the Dem lost by 13 votes, but turnout is much higher this time. My state really needs some changes. eta: also state district for Mar-A-Lago.
I went to city hall and dropped off my ballot and picked up a sticker (which feels a little like swiping an extra because they mailed one with the ballot but you know what? I deserve it) and swung by Evelyn's for a slice on the way home. Yum.
The road is being worked on right now, so from the highway to a couple blocks from city hall is kinda torn up and there's workmen directing traffic at the main intersection. I doubt that is actually nefarious, but it is troubling. OTOH, the parking lot was at least half full with people coming and going the whole time I was there, so maybe it's not really a problem. And I know there are other nearby dropoff points and more will open (including curbside) day after tomorrow.

Yes! I'm all about Spelling Bee and Vertex
I just completed my last 15 PostcardsToVoters and I'm off to drop them at the PO.
