I feel like we have just overthrown a dictator. Seriously, I haven't felt this relaxed since [View all]

sometime mid-2016. I am hopeful that it's going to be okay. It will be dicey for a while because that thing still has 72 days to fuck things up, but I sense he is shrinking and his influence is diminishing with each passing minute. And his childish behavior is so cringy. I hope the 70,000,000 morons who voted for him feel just a little shame. I know the rabid cult won't, but I hope some do. I know that we're going to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord, WHO, maybe save ANWR, strengthen NATO, and our relationship with the world.

I am happy.

We did it.
