  1. If by “mine” you mean you have kids then they will definitely not be “fine” because they’re future world just became a lot more problematic. We just got set back even further on solving the problems presented by global warming. On November 5 when we set a new record in Central Ohio with a high of 80 degrees on Election Day, we elected a science-denying president who believes global warming is a hoax and renewable energy is dangerous. If you are a parent then your children and grandchildren and all your future progeny in the next several generations just got fucked worse than they already were.
  2. Evil men have a tendency to live for a long time. I’d love to see him drop dead before he gets a chance to return to the White House but I’m betting we’re going to see him trying everything in his considerable new unchecked power to remain in office in 2029.
  3. Fuck your bullshit take, Bernie Bro. Bernie lost fair and square. Twice. Bernie should’ve thrown his full support to Hillary as soon as he lost to her to help keep Trump from ever taking office. But he didn’t, probably because he wanted to run against Trump in 2020. He’s part of the problem. We should’ve been electing Hillary’s successor yesterday. Joe Biden accomplished more than Bernie would have and cemented his legacy with the strengthening and expansion of NATO. Bernie’s far left agenda would’ve mostly been blocked and it was fantasy to think he’d ever succeed in accomplishing much of what he promised. Were going to look back on the Biden’s presidency much more fondly over the coming years. He did a lot of good things. Trump will immediately go to work trying to undo as much of them as he can as soon as he takes office.
  4. I can trace my lineage back to an immigrant from Switzerland. I wonder if they would take me. Maybe I could get deported back to a country I’ve never known just like a lot of dreamers are going to be.
  5. Maybe Harris should’ve picked Shapiro instead of Walz. I don’t know if that would’ve made the difference in Pennsylvania but it couldn’t have hurt. It certainly lays to waste the silly assertion someone made who said Shapiro not being selected but campaigning for Harris would actually improve Kamala’s chances of winning PA.
  6. What? And piss off daddy Putin? Not a chance.
  7. I sure would hate to be a Ukrainian this morning. They’re fucked.
  8. And that’s an office once held by George W. Bush.
  9. I’m happy to report that those Tapatio Doritos kick ass. They exceeded my expectations. Very tasty and a nice little kick. Will get again.
  10. I saw one woman today wearing a Make America Kind Again shirt. That was refreshing.
  11. Yep. Three decades in pop culture promoting himself as a rich, successful businessman blinded a lot of people to what a fraudulent fucking moron he is.
  12. We were slammed this morning but things are really dead right now. Just three voters in the room at the moment. I e had way more work at the paper/provisional ballot table than I ever have before. (This is my first presidential election.) Still, we’ve only processed 48 voters total at my table so far, 9 of those provisional. In total we’ve processed 563 regular voters at this location. We’re expecting another rush here soon when people are getting off work.
  13. I learned after only trying it once.
  14. Just had some guy come in looking for the person in charge. (The VLM in this case.) He said he wants to hand out sample ballots outside and the flags are supposed to be 100 feet from the door but they’re 150 feet. The flags don’t delineate the boundary and Andy our VLM explained that there are little signs out there at 100 feet to designate where the restricted area begins. I guarantee that guy is a Trumper.
  15. Ummm…you see…about that…
  16. Hippies from San Francisco voting left — who would’ve guessed? For your entertainment:
  17. Cross-posting from the Grateful Dead thread. Bob Weir and Mickey Hart are supporting Harris-Walz.
  18. Bobby spoke out. Well, OK, I guess it all depends on your worldview; you can see your place in the world as something to defend from those who might want to take some or all of it from you—or you can see it as a grand adventure, a place to make dreams come to fruition for yourself and for others. There is, of course, an in-between place—but the more you lean toward the grand adventure side, the clearer the choice becomes. More good comes from focusing on building a world where disparities aren’t so pronounced that they cause friction and reducing the inequalities that create barriers. With these things in mind, I’ve done my research and come to the clear conclusion that I’ll be voting for @KamalaHarris and @TimWalz this time around. https://www.instagram.com/bobweir/p/DBrusUYSIJn/ Mickey spoke out too. Fire on the Mountain! In dictatorships there are no rules of fair play, no freedoms of any kind. This rhythm is not the rhythm of a people but of one person. Liberty and freedom are rare in this world. America is our country where freedom is in jeopardy. Don’t take it for granted…it is worth fighting for. We need leaders like Kamala Harris to raise us up and to save our freedoms and liberty, the singular and most important value of America. Kamala has a vision, that vision is based on individual rights, to pray in peace, to have control over your own health, to protect our land and oceans.. everything. Most of the world is now in chaos because they do not believe in the rules, the rhythms in life that work, and the others that do not. You have only one vote to make your mark. This is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.. The alternative is really not an alternative after all…this is no joke folks. Your fate, your world is on the line. @kamalaharris is the only choice VOTE!!! https://www.instagram.com/mickeyhart/p/DBr-_5lJ_yW/ Billy did too but not as explicitly.
  19. My polling location has been open for 90 minutes. Isn’t it about time to unlock the Election Day thread?
  20. I’m bringing diced fresh habaneros and scorpion Tabasco sauce to give my bowl some zing.
  21. Not sure where else to put this. We’re having a potluck at our polling location tomorrow. When our VLM brought it up during the primary election in March, one dude (Bob) volunteered to bring chili. I knew right then what kind of “chili” it was going to be. Today I got confirmation. Bob sent out a pic of his vegetable beef soup with beans that he’s calling “chili.” Good grief. At least there’s no corn in it. And to be fair it looks like a decent homemade version of Wendy’s chili. And it looks better than Jade’s. But I knew it was going to be something like this and I’m going to have to keep my thoughts to myself tomorrow and try to maintain a professional work atmosphere. It’s not going to be easy.
  22. Wait, Nicolle Wallace worked for Palin too? Ugh. I knew she worked for Dubya. That’s bad enough. But Palin? Wtf was wrong with her and how did she finally see the light? I still love her but…damn.
