Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you - Leviticus 25:10
Throughout the evening, I periodically checked for election news on my cell phone, and Trump was doing well. He was doing well when I went to bed around midnight, although Arizona was looking unusually close - the same thing I noticed before I went to bed on election night in 2020. So, I lay in bed, filled with anxiety, and around 2 am, I got up, had a glass of orange juice, sat down on the couch in the living room and began checking for elections news. And apparently it was all over. Fox had called Pennsylvania for Trump, and subsequently the election. Eventually CNN bit the bullet and declared Trump the winner, too. I watched Trump's victory speech, and then finally toddled off to bed.
A joyous victory, but only one step on the road to righting the nation. The struggle will continue, and it will be difficult and there is no guarantee of ultimate success.
But, what the hell. For now...come on, chillun, lez dance!
Update Seen in a neighbor's yard.
Hooray!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the American people finally showed up!
ReplyDeleteNow we just need to finish the job. Make'em scared.
And pardon me if I do enjoy it just a little.
I checked in periodically, but then watched Trump top 270 with 277, & Republicans take the House & Senate. Trump also won the Popular. Take that Democrats! I stayed up to watch Trump's speech. Kamala didn't address her supporters. Very dis-respectful.
ReplyDeleteNow the hard work starts. Republicans got the whole ball of wax....now to not let it melt.
Btw, Trump is already doing good. The market surged on the news of his win!
Saw a Tweet late last night saying that this morning both the electoral and the popular votes will be undemocratic garbage that must be eliminated.
DeleteTell Canada to get ready for the influx of celebrities...
Lordy, doz chillun shore can dance!
ReplyDeleteYep! The Sheriff is back in town! And we are, indeed, with him!
ReplyDeleteFor the next week, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram will be full of white women in their cars screaming.
ReplyDeleteBreak out the Legos, milk and cookies, and coloring books. Because that's how adults deal with political setbacks. Oh, and the rioting and looting too. Assuming there's anything left to steal and burn in blue cities.
Kamala outperformed Biden in NOT ONE COUNTY !!! about what you'd expect when the candidate who got no primary votes becomes the least liked vice President in history becomes the Democratic candidate without one primary vote.
ReplyDeleteI told her to invoke the 25th amendment after Biden's debate meltdown, but she didn't listen... do not become President, do no collect a pension and Secret Service protection for life and do not get invited to all the events the exPresidents get front row seats for.
ReplyDeleteI was skipping across the internet during work. Kamala was well behind and then suddenly with the west coast states she seemed to be making a comeback. About 3pm it became official: Trump had won. About the same time as the news came through when he trounced Hillary in 2016.
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of everyone here in The Great South Land thanks for getting it right, America.

All I could think of last night was 2020.
ReplyDeleteI went to bed with Trump comfortably ahead, woke up to his losing.
I guess the win was more than the margin of cheating.
I do look forward to Kamala being a non-entity.
Dems will never forgive her for sucking so much.
She'll be fine. even though she'll never hold political office again.
DeleteA few seats on boards of foundations and NGOs, a professorship with no course load, maybe Amazon or Netflix shovels several million her way. And bear in mind that Doug Emhoff is an entertainment lawyer. He'll still be doing whatever the Weinstein/Epstein/Diddy set does.
Good for you America. Yes I was pleasantly surprised that the system worked this time - Remember last time was 'Covid' which could be used to exclude outsiders from the tally rooms.
ReplyDeletemaybe 2 months wasn't enough time to redo the ballot shenanigans for those 20 million .
ReplyDeleteBing bing bing bing! We have a winner!
