I was so relieved when Biden won at least for awhile.

[captain queeg]

Now I find myself stressing out the orange POS is going to somehow manage to fuck things up. I don’t think so but I find myself worrying again. Probably best to limit my time in the internet for awhile. Most all the BS the Trumpers are throwing around is just that; BS, and I shouldn’t let it get to me.

18. Olbermann on Trump: RELAX, HE'S GOT NOTHING!

2. Don't (let it get to you) -

Questions continue about Donald Trump: What if he never concedes? What if he refuses to leave? What if he goes berserk with Executive Orders, Pardons himself, or unleashes the Proud Boys?

The answer is: It doesn’t matter. His choices are to find some grace or sulk his way out or be frogmarched out, it’s up to him.

Whatever part of the country has moved on. No individual or group can stop the moving on of any kind.

We are free to go back to our daily lives without the dread of what the tweet at dawn was or keep adding to the list of his latest outrageous publicity stunts. It doesn’t matter, but actually never mattered.

If it comes down to the frogmarch, no big deal. It will just be his last stunt and we can rubberneck it briefly and immediately move on past it.

This is not gloating or mean spiritedness and there’s no expectation that his followers will move on constructively. Even if they choose to wreak havoc, it might be suspected that they will have their own secret relief.

9. You'll like Joy REID's magnificent rant:

Note: I broke up the body of her rant into "paragraphs" for easier reading. In the link they count as one dense paragraph.

Joy Reid: Trump Supporters Decided All of His ‘Cruelty’ Was Fine, So ‘Yeah, We’re Gonna Dunk on Y’all’ Today

.... Reid revealed she was in the middle of getting a covid test when she heard the news and said she subsequently walked to Times Square. “And honestly, it’s like a new day, Lawrence. It’s like the city has woken up from a slumber.”

Reid then responded to people saying “don’t dunk on Trump supporters today.”

“Sorry, that’s what people are going to do,” she said. ....

“We have had four years of mass deaths. 240,000 of our fellow Americans have died and Donald Trump was vowing to kill another several million of us through herd immunity. He didn’t care about the dead. He ripped 1,000 children from their parents without a second thought.

Stephen Miller has been installed in the White House for four years practicing open, vile racism and xenophobia and making it policy. Millions of federal employees, hundreds of thousands of them have been barred from talking about systemic racism. They reversed policy on everything that was designed to make this country more fair for people like me. My immigrant family members, none of them could have come here under the rules that they placed against people who are Black and brown and coming from countries that are majority Muslim. They banned Muslim travelers, grandmas that wanted to see their grandkids.

The cruelty, the hideousness of this administration. The awfulness. They were threatening to take away my friends that are gay, that are married, and invalidate their marriages. They put in a Supreme Court that threatened to take away our health care, our desperately-needed health care. All my kids except one would be off my health care if they accomplished that.

They are threatening our lives. They don’t mind if we die. So I’m sorry if the Trump supporters are feeling a little sad this morning, but, yes, we’re going to dunk on y’all, because you 70 million people said all of that was fine, do more of that, just give me a few more pennies in tax cuts if you don’t make a million dollars a year. You didn’t even really get anything. All you got was cruelty towards people like me.”

“This country is awake. We finally feel like we can breathe,” Reid added. ....

3. He won

This is the last remnant of everyone twisting and turning on tweets and nonsense from the mouth of an idiot.

Biden won.

4. Watch the video at the link below

Biden has been planning for this type of stuff to happen for months and prepared as much as he can for it.

6. Their biggest fear now is to lose the Georgia runoffs.

They have to bluster and pretend to fight or the base will deflate and stay home. The good ole boys don’t want VP Harris to come spank them with tie-breakers.

7. Stay away from social media, etc

It’s hard, I know. But constantly looking at Twitter, FB, etc is just going to keep you at that level of anxiety.

I’m have “GAD” so I’m one of the most anxious people I know. But as for Trump being able to overturn the election there are too many votes and too many states that would have to overturn the election. NO JUDGE is going to want to start a civil war, and that’s what will happen. MASSIVE riots across the country, stock market crash, utter chaos. It won’t happen.

Try to watch a movie or documentary that will help distract you.

I’ve watched the following during these last few stressful days:

1) Life as a House (Kevin Kline)
2) The Martian (Matt Damon)
3) Roll Red Roll (Netflix documentary about Stuebenville, OH rape and how a blogger took them down).

10. I keep reading things that say Joe is going get kicked out by donny and his ilk.

Does anyone think that maybe just maybe Joe and his administration knew something like this could happen and not have prepared for it? Joe has lawyers also and I am sure every one of them is up to speed on things that donny and his ilk would try. I think we are going to be fine. Yes, rough and unpleasant but fine.

15. It's ridiculous that Arizona is still counting votes like they

have all of the time in the world. Most people in the state vote by mail. Bunch of idiots!

Once that’s called for Biden, Trump can Sue Pennsylvania as much as they want

[wishstar]

19. Just look at front webpages of CBS, USAToday, NBC, CNN and you will be reassured of Trump's defeat

The mainstream media has moved on to give Biden top status as clear winner while diminishing Trump to a desperate loser pushing baseless claims. There will be increasingly stronger calls for Trump to give up the fight as it has become clear now that he is harming our national security and federal government's ability to function by undermining the transition.

21. I had a few days of calm, and now I'm in a panic attack that I don't see an end to.

I honestly don't know how the country gets out of this.

[joshcryer]

22. I assure you that there is NOTHING Trump can do.

He cannot do ANYTHING to change the outcome of this election. It's done. It's over.

Please ignore the media. Don't look at it. Go outside. We won. It's over. Tune in Jan 20 for Biden's inauguration.
