No, you decidedly shouldn't. I shouldn't either. This is how I went temporarily insane in early November, and I refuse to go through that again. You should too; let's both not!

I should have checked in here and heeded JZ. I've gotten totally sucked in and

This is *exactly* like November all over again.

YUP

-t, Cindy, I... I think it might be happening. We've gained one seat for sure, and the other we're down by under a thousand votes. At most--at very absolute most--the GOP will have a one-vote majority and a single defection on any vote will hand the decision to the VP, and it may yet not end at the absolute most.

Ossoff just took the lead over Perdue.

Warnock is up by plenty over Loeffler.

The remaining votes will favor the Dems heavily.

It's fucking happening.

Ossoff's lead is now up over 12,000. More than Biden's margin in Georgia.

Dems take the Senate.

I think it did happen. I think I can sleep now.

Y’all. This is amazing.

Just learned from Jeopardy: Lincoln's first vice president was named Hannibal Hamlin. No idea if he was also a private detective or a mercenary, but it sounds like he should have been.

Sounds like the A Team/L.A. Law crossover we've all been waiting for without realising it.

Dems take the Senate.

So awesome! I mean, thinnest possible margin, it makes Joe Manchin one of the most powerful people in DC, risk of a 2022 backlash went up blah blah blah, but it is all worth it for "soon-to-be Minority Leader Mitch Starchy Britches Bunyip of Kentucky McConnell".)

Just for the hell of it, FCM: Trump convicted of felony election fraud; internecine GOP civil war; Governor Stacy Abrams.

I woke up and discovered 1) that we have probably flipped the Senate and 2) I had an email about a possible fraudulent charge. I am trying to call the bank to figure out what is going on but I keep hitting the wrong buttons or ending up in the wrong part of the phone tree of options and have to hang up and call back.

Which means I have to hear the whole recording about the stimulus check and how to go to IRS.gov and if it's pending then dont' call them.

Finally got through.

Looks like someone tried to make 3 purchases.

Plot twist- it's on mom's account (she added me to her account a year ago) and she did make those charges. I did not realize this until after I had cancelled her card and verified my name and address of where to send it.

So now I have to call back and figure out how to fix that mistake. And of course I got distracted by their long stimulus announcement and hit the wrong option on the phone tree which means hanging up and calling back again. And listening to the stimulus announcement again.

I need caffeine.

Holy amazing shitballs!! COME THROUGH GEORGIA!!

Now is there anyone who can win majority leader over Schumer? I really am ready for him to go.

Ugh never mind I see they met and already voted him Dem leader on 11/10. Fuckit

Being awake is hard and I’d really rather not and billytea is hitting me with brain teasers. I cannot.
