Thank you for your work, shrift.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Someone on Twitter pointed out what seems to be happening with the Senate--the goddamn Lincoln Project and the other never-Trumpers did exactly what they set out to do: created a way for GOP voters queasy over Trump to feel comfortable and happy voting for Biden while continuing to vote GOP the entire rest of the way down, as if Trump was the party's only problem and everyone else is just peachy.
I never liked or trusted them and I never gave them a dime. Ass them all right in the ear. In 2022 I want to plow them all under and salt the earth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What lisah said -- thank you, shrift!
On the third-party thing, MA just voted down ranked-choice voting, which is a bummer.
I assume voting against Amy Coney Barrett kept Susan Collins's job (added to the regular incumbent advantage), but people better not assume this is a turning point for her.

A college classmate got elected to her small town Michigan school board. She is extremely lefty and the proud parent of a trans child.
I’m more hopeful for a Biden presidency than I was at 8am! And I will laugh a lot if it turns out America got saved by Omaha.

I was already shaky from lack of sleep, and now I’m extra shaky from the horrible tantrum. I had to call TCG to come home and help me calm her, and I’m feeling like the worst parent ever.

Our wings are not tired.
As much as I am disgusted over Florida, and the huge number of disappeared mail-in ballots, and Miami Cubans, I am delighted for my Omaha family who are happy.

{{{sj}}} You're emphatically not the worst. She's a challenging little teacup, and if you are low on spoons that is more understandable now than ever.
