At this point, as I said, let the GOP "govern". Let them rip everything apart.

Yes, we will also suffer, and that's sad and scary. But what's done is done. So let the MAGA cult reap the "benefits" when the Trump sinkhole makes them suffer right along with the rest of us.

Because that WILL happen. And when it does, and they start crying, I don't want to hear One. Fúcking. Word. out of any of 'em.

I've mostly been numb tonight, and that may be how I am from now on, but the closest to emotional I got was remembering that Harris was planning to give her speech at Howard. A moment that would have meant so much to her and so many other people. I've seen people chiding her for not coming out and making a statement, but I can't imagine how devastated she must have felt.

And, to add, it appears she is also losing AZ and NV. So...

I recall how stunned and sickened I felt in 2016. But I don't feel...anything...now. Like @DRW50, I'm just...numb.

Maybe that's a coping mechanism. I hope that sustains itself until 2028 - assuming we even have an election.

It's official:

Democrats needed to come out in droves to mitigate this, but they didn’t. Even in Democrat strongholds, Trump often outperformed his standings from 2016 and 2020, while margins for Democrat were down.  

Not only has he won the electoral college, this is the first time he’s actually won the popular vote too. 
 

Infuriating.

Trump and the Republicans will have a mandate with them in control of all branches of government and winning the popular vote too.

I heard that Trump in his victory speech thanked hisvsocial media and the podcasters like Joe Rogan, Adin Ross and Theo Von for helping win the election.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this.
