I don't remember being this stunned by the news since 9/11. This was unreal.

Sure seemed like a lot of folks in the Senate had a Come to Jesus moment today.
Would it surprise you to learn that that is exactly what I hoped and prayed for when I went out this afternoon? Not trying to go all Jesus on you, but it's true. I suppose that would happen to most any of us if we had to pull a gas mask out from under our desks and get shuffled off to a safe space while doing our jobs.

Pretty sure that'd be a wake up call for most. Except for 6.

Just to put things in perspective: Democrats are set to take over the White House and the Senate after today, already in control of the House.

And that got, what... fourth or fifth billing in the news today? I hardly heard about it, and I was watching crap all day.

They're finally going to through the EC votes by state now. Bet Trump is crying into his Happy Meal and clinging to his evac bag trying to figure out where to go.

That's all I could think about while watching them speak tonight. They looked visibly shaken to me. Frankly, I think that is a positive side-effect of this horror.

I heard he's raging about Pence right now. I bet he's really raging about his lack of Twitter access.

I got stuff to say about that, but I don't want to push it on anyone. Briefly stated, I believe that God allowed them to be brought to their knees thus humbling them, and opening the doors for Biden and Harris.

And yes, you can say that could happen without a God. Thanks for listening though, if you did. :-)

I did listen. I chalk it up to shock, myself, but whatever gets the job done, right?

I really hope he takes his 25th amendment opportunity to be President for two weeks. This is about national security.

Saving this for reading tomorrow.

‘He screwed the country’: Trump loyalty disintegrates
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/0 ... ack-455667

I'm listening to the count right now. If anyone had told me even 5 years ago that I would be glued to a screen listening to every second of this, I would have told them they were out of their minds.

And yet. Here I am.
