I Am A Swede

To say that this is disgusting is nowhere near enough. There should be some severe consequences as a result, not only for the postal worker, but also for the GOP donors.

Brianna Keilar once again bringing the receipts......

As an outsider looking in, I have to say that I'm completely stunned about what is happening. I knew that Trump would be a sore loser (although I didn't expect it to be this bad), but the behaviour of other Republicans is unbelievable. I'm amazed that they can stand up since they seem to be missing a spine.... And the pathetic excuses they come up with to justify their despicable behaviour is mind-blowing. I'm so f*ckin tired of old white men and their f*ckin sense of entitlement. And it really shouldn't matter whether they succeed or not. The mere fact that they're doing this should be enough. I'm thoroughly disgusted.

Brianna Keilar with another brilliant takedown of Trump and his cronies....

Ooh, that would be lovely....

What the hell is that?!

Thanks for that. I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet due too lack of time, but I will make sure to do it as soon as I can.

I know exactly what you mean. It hurts a little everytime someone dies who has been around for your whole life.

This perfectly illustrates how I, and probably many more people around the world, feel today.....

Their wish was granted.....

It feels nice to see someone refer to Trump as ex-president.

I already posted this song yesterday in the "What are you listening to?" thread.....

This song just feels appropriate right now.....

Maybe slightly premature, but I'll risk it.....

So it looks like we might get a happy end after all? I'll readily admit that I was very worried earlier today when the numbers pointed towards a Trump victory. But it feels much better now. I had hoped for a more decisive victory for Biden, but getting rid of Trump was the ultimate goal, and if that is achieved then that's a good result.

Good luck to everyone who's voting today or have voted already. I think the whole world is waiting anxiously on the results. I know I am.

I think this goes way deeper than the Charlie Hebdo attacks. And it's an incredibly complex problem that is not going to go away easily, if at all. And it's also not just in France. We're seeing the same problems here in Sweden, and most likely all over Europe. Immigrants from Africa and elsewhere are coming to Europe in search of a better life and a future, but what they find is in many cases unemployment and new hardships. I can mostly just speak for how it is here of course, but our society just hasn't been able to cope with all these people. There are not enough jobs to go around, and during the great migration crisis a few years ago things got so bad that we didn't even have somewhere to house all the people coming here. We're still struggling with the effects of that period. Add to this the major cultural differences that exists and you have a recipe for disaster. This is just scratching the surface of course. There are so many aspects to this problem... sociological, religious, cultural, economical, and yes even racial. Racism has always been a part of European society and the horrors of WWII and the nazis are not as prominent in people's minds anymore. It's just 75 years since the war ended and you're already hearing a lot of rhetoric similar to what you'd hear in the 1930s.
