I catch my brain slipping down that rabbit hole and I have to do a re-set.
Somehow I think this process is going to continue until noon on January 20, 2021.

1/ Biden defeated Trump to become the 46th president of the United States. The Associated Press and TV networks called Pennsylvanias 20 electoral votes for Biden, putting him over the 270-vote threshold needed to win the Electoral College. Shortly after, Nevada was also called for Biden. With the campaign over, its time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation, Biden said in the statement. Its time for America to unite. And to heal. We are the United States of America. And theres nothing we cant do, if we do it together. Shortly before news organization called the race, Trump tweeted I WON THIS ELECTION, BY A LOT! Kamala Harris will become the nations first woman, first Asian American, and first Black vice president. Trump, meanwhile, is the first president since 1992 to fail to win a second term. Biden is expected to give his victory speech at 8 p.m. Saturday a full five days after the last ballots were cast.

2/ Moments after CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, AP, and Fox News called the presidential election for Biden, Trump refused to concede, falsely claimed that the election was far from over, accused Biden of rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and threatened legal action to contest the results in some states. Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated, Trump said in a statement issued while he was golfing at his club in Virginia. The Trump campaign has already filed and lost multiple lawsuits alleging voting violations in several states. (Fox News / NPR / Associated Press / Politico / CNN / @brianstelter)

(26,260 posts)No sooner did I come off of 15 years of dealing with non stop family illnesses and deaths while having to endure a horribly toxic work place situation, than November 2016 happened. Travel was always my break from my reality, and now that's out of the question.
I truly need a major re-set. Hopefully that starts to happen, now.
