So many of us, our families, our friends, poor co-workers, our neighbors, have been hurt so bad these last 4 years and for years to come.
We can finally see this will be over, or at least stopped, and have every right and need to celebrate.
Instead, try this : please be safe, celebrating.
Thank you.

I just hung up on a friend who I know voted for the idiot and I didn't speak to him for 2 years. But we've been friendly the last two years bc not one peep of politics.
So I called to thank him for bringing me some bananas.. and he said he had been resting.. I said I've been celebrating. he said "celebrating"? you better not celebrate yet.. that's going to the Supreme Court.
Well, I lost it! I said.. "No It's NOT.. trump is a GD LIAR.. there was NO Voter Fraud!!! & hung up the phone.. i mean how dare he?!!

(296,848 posts)about probably losing a friend.
It pisses me off how they take his word about SHIT! This guy hasn't gotten it in 4 years that trump is a LIAR about EVERYTHING.. he kills people with his LIES.
he's smart in other ways.. but something kept him from recognizing trump's DEADLY Bullshit. I wasn't sure until today.
Aloha, Bachers

Other than that, knock yourself out!

(8,676 posts)Jr Trump was ranting in the White House last week about get out and make Libruls cry. Fuck them all. Fuck the High road, if I find myself up there and trumpers below, I will piss on their hats.

(11,560 posts)I'm celebrating, even though I'm a Canadian. I can't pat myself on the back, but I can sure as hell be happy and relieved. My wife is a very liberal New Yorker, but from WNY, not NYC. NEVER ask if that's where she's from.
Anyway, I can tell you that she and her family are damned sure celebrating.

I live in Texas and let me tell you, its not that easy here without putting a bullseye on you head..
I so had wished Texas would have turned blue, but alas...next time.
Please keep it going! I take great joy in all you happiness and truly wish I was in a blue state to celebrate with you.🙂

However, this weekend, I am celebrating before the work commences.

(15,533 posts)And CELEBRATE!!! In whatever way one wishes to celebrate, just do it! What I won't do is cower and try to hide the fact that I voted for the future. I am proud of my vote, proud of my party. You goddamned right I'll celebrate. It may only be me by myself with a tub of Ben and Jerry's rum raisin ice cream, but hey, to each his own.

My mom is scared there will be civil war, but that is a fear for another day--this weekend is OURS!
