I woke up around 2:00 am CT and just could not resist looking at my phone. I'm glad that I, and the early polls, were wrong about the California recall election being very tight. I'd guess the numbers will change a bit, but I hope it's still a clear showing. I hope we don't see more of Elder down the road, but that might be wistful thinking. But at least Elder last night conceded, just like a 'normal' politician. Maybe more wistful thinking on my part.

RajahMD I'm so sorry. Give yourself the time you need to grieve and take care of yourself. Of that means not going in that room for a while, then so be it. Huge hugs.

Wow. I am so pleased to hear about the failed recall. I couldn’t put too much thought into it because I’d start spiraling but man I am glad that California did not go through with this and end up with an R gov. Phewwwwww

I am so sick and tired of people running for high elective offices without any experience in government at all. I mean - maybe be at least an alderman first? Library board? Something?

Arrogance at its finest And it's not even about leadership, they just want to become celebrities and darlings of the far right

Arrogance at its finest And it's not even about leadership, they just want to become celebrities and darlings of the far right Well, I feel a little hypocritical. J.B. Pritzker didn't have a whole lot of political experience before running for governor. A failed congressional compaign, IIRC, and he was involved with the party for quite a while, including working on some legislative staffs. Considering his family background, that was a lot more than he probably 'needed' to do to be considered seriously. That said, I think he's done a great job of not caring about pandering to voter groups in general vis a vis the pandemic. There may be times when having more money than God is a good thing in a politician LOL! And, to be honest, I really had wanted Obama to complete a least one senatorial term before running for president to give him a little more 'seasoning' as well. But, comparatively, both of them had an incredible amount of real governmental experience.

His temper tantrums are so embarrassing. You don't have that kind of power, traitor.

Everyday I feel like I'm screaming "why are you still giving 45 air/ print?!" The media, for all his bitching about it, are doing his dirty work for him. It's exasperating.

John Legend, the political commentator we didn’t know we needed.
Why does 2021 continue to be the weirdest?

I just read an article about a playground just outside the Twin Cities where an arsonist (or arsonists) specifically burned down equipment meant for special education students. Like why are humans such disgusting garbage? That is what you do with your time? Burn down play equipment for children that have physical handicaps? Wow, good for you. You're a real badass.

McKayla Maroney is mincing no words. Just an incredibly brave woman.
I'm deep cleaning my fridge to cope with the rage.
