slow, growing, two day move toward Biden is SO sweet! Loving every second of it.
Especially knowing how Covid-45 must be fuming, seeing POC
counting ballots!

It's like a karmic reward for not getting our recount in FL.
Only it's not a recount it's live numbers.

(42,770 posts)I idolized the man. I sit in awe and see him in his suit stand for hours on end, spewing stats and seemingly knowing every precinct in America! I would be saying, " oh jeez, what state is this? I remember something about it"
King is conservative and cautious. You can tell he thinks PA is ours.

(42,770 posts)It's amazing that news outlets don't have a handle on each state and the order they are counting in. But hell, it would kill the suspense, eh?
Love the feeling that we don't have to give a shit what trump says anymore!

Defeat, yes. Humiliation, yes. The slowly growing pit in your stomach that makes you refresh every thirty seconds as your emotions take a roller coaster ride, leading to who knows where, when the stakes are (in your opinion) so high? I feel genuinely bad for what the peaceful, unwittingly deluded Trump supporters are going through tonight. I'd give them all a hug if I could.
Not so much the violent, the wittingly deluded, or the orange motherfucker himself, mind you.
But it is agony, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

(37,182 posts)We had 118,000 new covid case yesterday. A Trump win means Fauci is fired. We may never overcome this disease.
it's literally life and death for possibly millions of Americans.

(31,261 posts)They didnt toe the line blindly and went about trying to do their jobs properly. He fires them out of spite and leave as much a mess as possible for Joe. I hope that if Fauci is fired, Joe asks him to join his transition team, for the insight he would bring. I am on the fence about Joe bringing on Wray, although Wray has been standup a lot, he is a Trump hand picked official.

(42,770 posts)suppressed new covid case #s right before election and made people who wanted to get tested do deep acrobatics thru numerous web pages just to find testing.
Putting that out of my mind for just a moment of happiness. My dad died of covid and Biden winning and trump out is just sweet momentary revenge. Hoping it helps with grieving.

(31,261 posts)This feels like someone taking the last slice of delicious cake and leaving me with a tasty, but not as fully satisfying slice.
I mean, I just have so many dark feelings about the roughly half of Americans who voted for that pig, with the second highest vote count in history, next to Joes count. Just sickening.

(69,532 posts)just many more votes than they expected, thus they do not want to be quick. I do not blame them.
Must be a tedious job, but it's important to count every vote to get an accurate outcome. Can't be inpatient.
