Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

I was promised a recession.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

ha ha ha! Nice try weird people.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Washington Post’s Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

He really is that stupid.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Joe Biden deserved better than he got from some folks in his own party.”

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

    I hear ya and I was the same until yesterday but I started reading Wassermann (of Cook) and leantossup.ca.

    Now I cannot wait, am in great mood, savoring the last hours before the triumph.

    I am irrationally exuberant today. Possibly my brain is fried because I only slept two and a half hours, but feeling certain of winning feels good.

    Steve looks comfy. My 14 yo orange tabby has taken to napping on the sliver of space in front of my oven range that doesn’t have the burners. I have to shoo her off to cook anything

    I’m going to run and listen to loud angry music now to decompress from an all day spreadsheet-fest.

    4 out of 5 doctors agree that operating as if Twitter doesn’t exist will reduce nervousness by 66%.

    The Moar You Know

    I am not nervous about the election or the results.

    I am nervous as fuck about both the short and long term aftermath.  America is not going to be what it used to be.   And we have a lot of very serious damage to fix.

    Working as an election officer in a heavily blue precinct tomorrow.  Dreading the very long day and possible disruption.

    @The Moar You Know: I’m tense about both the election and the aftermath. I won’t feel ok until Biden and Harris are sworn in… though if we have a sweep of both houses of Congress I’ll feel a distinct improvement in my mood after they get sworn in on Jan. 3rd.

    The only thing I’m worried about is how many more times can we impeach the mother fucker between Wednesday and when Joe gets sworn in.

    Gwinnett?  Ewww (no offense, SD).  But it’s still a better Costco than Augusta’s.  And you’ve got Dave & Buster’s and the PGA Superstore right next door!

    There was a bierhouse near us that made the best, best, best mulled wine in winter.  It closed a year ago (I cried), and I figured I’d say goodbye to mulled wine as I am not the sort to sit patiently by a saucepan, making sure something doesn’t boil (my son, when he was 3, referred to me as “a fire cook,” because, to quote him, “Every time Mommy cooks the fire alarm goes off.”  Harsh but fair, kid).  However… I discovered it is possible to make mulled wine in a slow cooker, and now I know my project for tomorrow.  Or Wednesday, depending on my mood.  Or heck, both.

    Ya want some good news? I’lls give ya some good news from the GOS! I told y’all don’t be counting out
    Steve Bullock in Montana just yet. That’s an insane vote total and it might be good for the governor and House race as well.

    @jeffreyw:

    That price is fantastic. We’re out of freezer space at the moment, though.

    I’m suggesting that I use 18-20 hours of Christmas Eve and smoke one.

    Biden’s campaign is so fat on cash they should air drop a million bucks in Benjamin’s over each of Trump’s remaining rallies, and offer odds of Trump himself scrambling for the cash.

    My old boss got caught on a live mic right before his wedding saying:  “I’m as nervous as a goose shitting peach pits.”

    That’s a good one.

    @satby: Bailey’s isn’t quite high enough proof for me, I’ll be going with straight Irish whiskey in the coffee. Some cream and a dash of sugar. Gotta stand at the polls with signs for 1 1/2 hrs, supposed to be windy. Did some lit drops over the weekend too.  (ps if you ever see Five Farms Irish cream–pricey but seriously a step above everything else.)

    Woman Hopes She Did Enough Worrying To Help Biden Campaign:

    ERIE, PA—Waiting on tenterhooks on the eve of the election, local woman Elise Stalter expressed her hope Monday that she had done enough worrying to help the Biden presidential campaign. “I’ve been panicking pretty much every day for the last few months, but now that there’s only one day left, I wonder if I could have done more,” said Stalter, admitting that while she had regularly taken to the streets to collapse in a puddle of despair, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she could have gone even further with her mental breakdown. “I’ve been sending out texts telling everyone I know that I’m constantly on the verge of a full-blown anxiety attack, and I’ve spent hundreds of dollars supporting a variety of self-soothing products. Now I just pray that I’ve experienced enough existential dread to make a difference.” At press time, Stalter consoled herself that she still had almost a full day to slip into a catatonic state.

    Way nervous!  I’m voting in person–the mail in stuff was timely me during all the news about Post Office fuckery. I did not know, then, about the town hall drop boxes. (I’m in CT).  I have my little folding aluminum tripod museum stool thingie. I could hang my handicapped parking hang tag around my neck maybe :/ ? I expect minimal fuss–I live in a little dot of a town, and so far I have never seen so much as a masking issue. Lots of Repub lawn signs–local, not Trump–in my town. Surrounding towns well laced with Biden/Harris. No idea what those tea leaves mean.

    I spent a lot of today hunkered down under a warm quilt listening to good books. It’s cold and windy here, so that worked. Now it’s tonight. Soon, it will be tomorrow. My dog is ready to Bite The Bad People. Grrr.

    @Nutmeg again: I waited and hour and a half and the guy in front of me had one of those little folding chairs that he had to climb out of every two or three minutes!

    Some wag online somewhere said it’s as if the whole country is waiting for the results of a biopsy.

    I’m going to try to get to bed early since I have to get up at 5 to set up my polling place. It’s in a county rec center which will be closed to everything but voting tomorrow. The portion of the driveway directly in front of the entrance will be blocked to traffic so we can set up our table outside the 40 foot limit. Helps with social distancing. Instead of sample ballots we have the equivalent on a large sign that is just about perfectly sized to fit into someone’s cell phone picture which is what we’re encouraging people to do.

    I’m not worried about Joe getting more votes than tRump, just about those votes being counted properly.

    @gvg: I go to a website called Love Meow; it has stories of rescued cats and kittens and lots of adorable cat photos.  It is very calming!

    I’m voting tomorrow (Missouri).  My fantasy is that Biden takes Missouri, but I’m going to say that the reality is the ferret-headed shitgibbon will win Missouri.  Polls have him at 6 points over Biden, but in 2016 he was 16 points over Clinton, so he has lost a step here.    After voting, I will go to my happy place (the Quilt Cave!)  and work on a custom quilt for an Etsy client.  The quilt is purples and deep yellows, lots of Star blocks, I think she’ll like it.

    @NotMax: I love them both. May get the lady one for use at the farmers market, where my potty mouth gets me in hot water with all the delicate snowflake farmers.
