Glass half full, so, I am really bummed about the senate, I am concerned about health care,

while old and a pandemic and Biden getting anything done and judges appointed with a Republican senate. The upside, a Biden win gets Trump out and we do not have to hear that vile, disgusting, crude, mean, nasty voice again.

That is a good thing.

But this morning my son called and needed to rant so while walking my dog, with him on speaker we ranted about the nazi rw vote, and vile Trump as I passed old person after old person, without a care in the world that they heard our castration of Republicans. The conversation did both of us good.

Toward the end of the conversation I concluded that Biden goes in and does executive order after executive order undoing Trump damage and beefing up our departments that have been weakened and hurt for two years. 2022 we have more chances with the republicans in senate and blue wave them, then Biden spend two more years passing legislation.

Not the blue wave we wanted today, but they threw every corrupt, dishonest, oppression/suppression action against our vote at us and I think we will still get Trump out. That is a win.

I am at the point of accepting, and stating we will be ok. The 5 stages. I can wait two years not getting sick.

How does that sound?

Thanks for the post. I have faith that Biden is the right man for this enormous task ahead of us.

Joe can’t do that with an executive order.

I am seriously bummed, and a lot of us are DEFINITELY NOT going to be OK unless, by some miracle, we can secure a Democratic Senate.

Someone else tell me how they have resolved in this or throw an arm around me. I am pestering everyone else my rant because I don't want to interact with Republican family. At this moment, I cannot stand to even look at them.

Leave falling, sun shining. A walk next to the river is called for, absolutely. That sounds like an ideal way to clear out all the nasty I am feeling right here, and right now, towards so many people.
