4 years ago I was over-confident but nervous. Today I am just excited

Here is a thread from later in the day. It is interesting to see how the potential of Donald Trump as President was just a sick joke at that time. We now have the reality of the past 4 years. We will never get them back...

I don't have much else to say. Not that it will keep me from saying things from time to time throughout the day. Heck, I have to have something to laugh at in 4 years when I look back

Also, in case you did not actually click on the photo, you missed the most important part(s). 1) I was drinking beer. 2) Look at the beer I was drinking. It looks like it is actually possible to tempt fate...

Is it over yet?

Steve Kornacki needs some ketamine

Breaking:

I’ve barely had a sip of alcohol

Hey Siri: Mute all nervous Democrats

Also remember:
1) Trump barely beat Clinton in 2016
2) Biden outperforming Clinton
3) If all else fails, just self-medicate with your personal favorite

Also remember that by this point in 2016, most of us were vomiting out our eyeballs

Going to bed feeling confident about Biden but nervous about the senate for whatever that’s worth. Sleep tight everyone. We’re in for a long week

Plenty of time to consider all the many deeper issues exposed by this election, but right now it does look like Biden will win. The margin will be sufficient for many but not enough some. I guess it’s worth remembering the old adage about horseshoes and hand grenades...

People may want to focus on details, but really there is only one thing that mattered in this election, and we all know what it was...

Set aside policy differences and political allegiances and forget everything else. This election was and will always be a referendum on one human being and all that he represents...

So my advice: don’t focus on the 70,000,000 + people who voted for Trump. Instead, remember why all that matters was that this human and his brand of divisive and destructive politics go away

People will talk about a need for healing our divided country, and wow is there is healing to be done. But that healing could not and would not happen with Trump as President. So again- plenty of time for worry over details but right now, only one thing matters

Last thing, and then I promise to stop. There is a tendency to focus on Trumpism. I prefer to focus on Trump. Maybe that is dumb. But if so, it is my dumb choice
