It's today!!! It's today!!! It's today!!!

ELECTION DAY!
Took a brief trip to the grocer's for the long night ahead...good cheese..crackers...fresh fruits and dark chocolate almonds...you know...necessities...lol
Came home and decided to give myself the rest of the day off. Everything that still needs done will undoubtedly be here in the morning. Finishing out my renovations on my bedroom can wait as well because...POLITICS...okay?
It is a sickness...I'm telling you.

We've taken the House back...which is GREAT...and Ousted Scott Walker from Wisconsin...which is even better...
But the Senate appears beyond our grasp.
Fairly sure.
And it is late...
Florida seems to have settled for the same old-same old so enjoy your RED Tide and School Shootings and the like.
You people are hopeless.
MSNBC called Texas for Cruz with only 32% of the vote counted..and a few thousand precincts still out...and people STILL in in lines waiting to vote. So we will see how THAT plays out.
And Georgia went to Kemp...
At least we have restored some of our checks and balances...
I'll update this tomorrow when the dust settles.
More soon...
Wednesday Morning:
We TOOK the HOUSE!!!!!!!
(...and why are mornings so loud and bright???)
We TOOK the HOUSE!!!!
This cannot be understated as we return to some semblance of checks and balances in our government.
Scott Walker (Wisconsin) is gone...so THAT is GREAT.
Ted (effing) Cruz is a ZOMBIE. He just won't GO AWAY. Texas you has a chance at the real deal with BETO...and you blew it.
Fucking Red States.
Mine included...where we lost Joe Donnelly and gained Braun.
Oh and Pence's brother won his district here, as well.
sigh
Although it makes absolutely no difference in the grand scheme of things...my County went solidly for Donnelly...so there is that.
And FLORIDA...OMFG...
Lennon warned me days ago that this would happen. That no matter how good the candidate or how against-their-best-interests it was...nothing would change in the Gunshine State.
Climate Change. School Shootings. Red Tide.
It did not matter to these idiots...his theory being
"They are old white racists who know they will dead soon...so it really won't affect them".
Direct Quote
And he was right.
Unfuckingbelievable.
But there were bright spots.
Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis is gone.
Scott Walker- gone.
Abrams is refusing to concede the Georgia race to Kemp because of the numerous voting aberrations and suppression attempts.
The Congressman who lamented he could no longer call women sluts...lost his seat to a woman.
We seated a lot of women in Congress last night
Two were Native American.
Two were lesbians.
Colorado seated the FIRST openly gay Governor.
And the youngest member of Congress ever.
So despite Red Strongholds around our Nation...the times they are a-changing.
Now to find a cup of coffee big enough to soak my entire body in-
(...and who ate all this junk food...)
