There are some bright spots, some hope, in places, but it's stunning to me that a racist, rapist, adulterous, traitorous, pussy grabbing, lying moron can become president AGAIN!!!!!
Bob, I feel the same, I'm trying not to hyperventilate and could not Sleep, I feel so alarmed. This will have Global consequences too... and if Americans thought their situation was bad before, they ain't gonna know what hit them when he unrolls out all the Fuckery he intends.
Leon and I are beyond sick with the news. And I don't think the full reality has hit me yet. The possible consequences are beyond dire. We must RESIST!
This country is MUCH worse than I imagined. A convicted felon over a woman --- let's clarify that: A woman color. And it's not just the POTUS, it's that they took the House and Senate, too. So much of the world will be in mourning.
A small part of me hope he does unleash his terror and it comes back and bites them all in the ass. Serve the fucking dumb asses.A red eclipse????? Really. This is bad.
Physically sickening to me, he’ll self destruct and will take his acolytes and the rest of us with him. :( As stated above, this will be bad on so many levels- domestic policies, foreign relations and we’ll be left with a very corrupt government and legal system. Social Security , Medicare and AHA will be on the chopping block, public schools and other public entities will be privatized and placed in corrupt hands, the environment will be in for worse damage, workers will have fewer rights, extremists in America, and the likes of Putin and Netanyahu will be emboldened leading to even more chaos, the world order will be disordered to America’s detriment, and our court systems at the local and state level will be as corrupt as the un-supreme court. Not to mention the likes of Musk, RFK Jr, Bannon, Boebert, Sheehy , Greene and others of their ilk will be around to cause even more destruction and division.
That's why we need to vote for Democrats who will fight against this cult; not just lip-service. Fight against the ;lunacy and the tyranny and vote out every Democrat who isn't standing up for this country.
I just woke up (San Francisco time). A show of hands; how many of you are history buffs? It's 476AD all over again. Now I'm wondering how long fortress San Francisco can hold out against the Hun. The implications are daunting. Buckle up...
I watched about five minutes of the election coverage last night. I just could not bear all the slicing and dicing. I told myself I would check in the morning. I rolled over and checked my phone for results around 5:00 AM. I could not believe what I was reading.
I am numb and directionless.
Let's put Diaper Don aside for a moment. In hearing the post-mortem this morning-Denver time-I see the popular and electoral college is in his favor. What does that say about America? All the mishegoss about this man and the American people decided that this person needed to lead our country into the future for a second time. My heart aches for the American people,
Further, it appears as of this moment that the House and the Senate will be in the Republicans' favor. Coupled with the MAGA Supreme Court, we have a recipe for unchecked power. It's going to be hell. It's not a wait-and-see. We already know what will happen. Mussolini Don said so. Project 2025 declares it.
I believe Harris ran a great campaign. Oh sure, she could have done a few things differently. But a great campaign and on message. They say it is the masculine message that was not addressed. They say it is the Latino vote. They say it is the young people and them being transactional They say it is pocketbook issues. We could go on. The MSM is going to dissect this election every which way. I can't bear it. We are where we are. Maybe in two years, the Democrats will have the wind at their backs and the tide can change. My heart goes out to Kamala. She hit the ground running the last few months and gave it her best. To that, I say thank you to her and her team.
To the American people, I say this is what you chose. You have cut off your nose to despite your face. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
I said to the Mistress...this sucks. And we now may never get back power...its a pretty sunny day here at the beach and even that isn't making me happy.
I couldn't watch the returns last night. This morning 2 things happened that helped me breathe again: the ACLU is already on the move to protect our rights and the MITM said over coffee, "Well, it's FAFO time now and I'm ready!" Dark days, sweetpea, are ahead for all of us! xoxo

Sadness and grief
ReplyDeleteSoon to be replaced with anger and vengeance.
DeleteI'm numb, but soon to be really pissed.
ReplyDeleteGet pissed and stay pissed.
DeleteSo sorry Bob. I fear the results will be profound, on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteThere are some bright spots, some hope, in places, but it's stunning to me that a racist, rapist, adulterous, traitorous, pussy grabbing, lying moron can become president AGAIN!!!!!
DeleteBob, I feel the same, I'm trying not to hyperventilate and could not Sleep, I feel so alarmed. This will have Global consequences too... and if Americans thought their situation was bad before, they ain't gonna know what hit them when he unrolls out all the Fuckery he intends.
ReplyDeleteI've a feeling that many other nations will turn away from us with this Unhinged Loon in charge.
DeleteI'm so sorry, people are shocked and horrified here in Britain too. The world is a worse place today.
ReplyDeleteWe need to feel this, and hold onto it, and use it when we come back to fight again.
DeleteLeon and I are beyond sick with the news. And I don't think the full reality has hit me yet. The possible consequences are beyond dire. We must RESIST!
ReplyDeleteI agree, and we need to resist hard and everywhere, in every election cycle in every city and state.
DeleteThis country is MUCH worse than I imagined. A convicted felon over a woman --- let's clarify that: A woman color.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not just the POTUS, it's that they took the House and Senate, too.
So much of the world will be in mourning.
Keep the anger and rage and use it against the GOP and Democrats who seem to just let things happen.
DeleteI'm disgusted and disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI'm enraged and dumbfounded!
DeleteA small part of me hope he does unleash his terror and it comes back and bites them all in the ass. Serve the fucking dumb asses.A red eclipse????? Really. This is bad.
ReplyDeleteOh, Mistress ...I totally agree with you!!
DeleteHe may begin to think he can do whatever he wants, but that's when we need to fight back.
DeleteIt really is hard to fathom!
ReplyDeleteI woke up at 3AM just to check and saw that he was projected to win and then couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.
DeleteBeyond all credibility! Oh, PLEASE let it just be a collective bad dream! .......Only 'bad'? - NO! The worst nightmare for the entire world!
ReplyDeleteTruly a nightmare for decency everywhere.
DeletePhysically sickening to me, he’ll self destruct and will take his acolytes and the rest of us with him. :(

DeleteWell, shit. The next 4 years are going to be such a cluster fuck.
ReplyDeleteI always had a gut feeling she wouldn't get it.
DeleteI had hope ... but the right won over with fear and lies and racism.
DeleteToday is indeed a dark day for America and for the world.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the darkness and remember it, and then come back harder against the cult.
DeleteThe dog's mother
ReplyDeleteBeyond shocked!!!

Sickening.

ReplyDeleteWe are in trouble :(
We need to fight.
DeleteI just woke up (San Francisco time). A show of hands; how many of you are history buffs? It's 476AD all over again. Now I'm wondering how long fortress San Francisco can hold out against the Hun. The implications are daunting. Buckle up...
ReplyDeleteStand up; speak up; vote out every Democrat who doesn't come for every Republican; new blood is needed.
DeletePlease accept my sincere condolences in relation to the death of your former country.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad day, but maybe one that will galvanize people.
DeleteI feel the same way!

We need new Democrats, Democrats who speak truth to power. We need Pete Buttigieg's from now on.
DeleteI am at a loss for words myself. I am heartbroken.
ReplyDeleteI am growing angry ... at the country and my own party.
DeleteI'm heartsick and distraught after a nearly sleepless night. My loving cat greeted me this morning with some fresh vomit on the carpet. Life goes on.
ReplyDeleteLife does go on, but will it look the same? i think not.
DeleteI said to the Mistress...this sucks. And we now may never get back power...its a pretty sunny day here at the beach and even that isn't making me happy.
ReplyDeleteWe need regrouping, reorganizing, re-strategizing, and a new stronger fight.
DeleteWords fail. I am sick with grief and fear.
ReplyDeleteHold onto that and use it moving forward.
DeleteMillions of us are sickened, in shock, and embarrassed. It’s history repeating itself in the worst possible way.
ReplyDeleteIncluding me, the author of this comment.
DeleteRepeating itself in the worst possible way.

ReplyDeleteDark days, yes, but I am ready to fight this.
Deletexoxo
*nauseous*
ReplyDeleteAmerica done fucked it up.
XOXO
Yes, we did.
Deletexoxo
I am living a parallel universe. I don't understand.
ReplyDeleteUnfathomable that America chose THAT over her.

I don't think we want to give up just yet. I think we simply need to get better at messaging and voting and voicing our opinions and resisting!
DeleteI've been sad all day and a neighbour said to me "the world is coming to an end." I worry now for all my online friends over there.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling cautiously optimistic. We just need new Democratic blood.
DeletePete's and Hakeem's for a start.
Except for the few who will get richer and more powerful, those who supported him will truly suffer. Assholes.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet they won't see it or feel it because their Dear Leader will tell them they're wrong.
DeleteYou can't fix stupid.
