And the Impotence Came Crashing In

It is so delightfully strange to me that since Biden was announced as President Elect, Trump's words have lost all power. His whining about a rigged election sounds just like a toddler's temper tantrum, as usual, but without the ominous feeling he might be able to do something about it. My wife and ...

Wow. Wow. Wow. I just listened to both victory speeches. How refreshing was that!
That was cool water on a parched throat.

Biden has really grown on me. I do think he's the right guy for this moment. I wish him all the best (he'll need it, given the mess he has to clean up).

Re: Ajax and lockdowns

And it is amazing that the left calls people blameless who loot stores Indeed? I can't imagine it's a popular viewpoint. I haven't come across it at any rate. I've said this before: if I honestly believed all the crap the right wing is fed to them, I'd be scared shitless just like they are. But ser...

Re: Graceful Transfer of Power

If there is one adjective that has never once entered my mind when thinking of Trump, it's "graceful." But that's not the only adjective. There's also: - intelligent - competent - strong - mature - tempered - principled - honest - respectful - encouraging - friendly - humane - decent OK... I could k...

Re: A silver lining in a dark cloud of socialism

I know you don't like the lockdowns, ajax, and part of your distaste seems to be based on false death rate. It's not as low as you are telling yourself it is, likely because you don't want to feel like a monster. This is what I keep telling you: you're lying to yourself. You could check the actual d...

Re: CNN calls for Biden

Now that Biden has won, we can all throw our masks away. The hoax is over, everyone! It worked!

(My wife said that to me when she got home from work yesterday... cracked me up).

People who are satisfied don't act out. :-)
I can't get no... satisfaction.

Re: Trying to Understand

I am 100% sure that if we knew each other in real life, we would be close friends, Jersey Girl. You strike me as the exact kind of person I would care about if we were personal friends.

ETA: And this is in light of the disagreements we've had over the years. I like you despite myself.

Re: Trying to Understand

I will also say that I like Jersey Girl because I like strong women. I watched Kamala Harris speak tonight and I thought, This is exactly what this country needs right now. Obviously, I don't always agree with Jersey Girl, but I respect her point of view and care about it, because I believe it comes...
