Today was an out of body experience. I couldn't believe that half the people I interact with think he is fit to be among normal people, much less the leader of the free world. I'm not a conspiracy theory person, but I don't see how he could win North Carolina, but everybody else on the slate went blue. How did he win in Michigan along with Elissa Slotkin? They aren't the same voters.

I hope Biden in the lame duck period gives Ukraine everything there is to give and more, and pardons Hunter.

And what do now is mourn and find comfort where we can. Get outside, listen to music, read a book. Then we get up, dust ourselves off, and hold these people accountable as best we can.

I went to bed last night feeling as though I had been kicked in the stomach. No, the election of Kamala was not guaranteed, but I thought (hoped?) that the American electorate would realize the horror of another Trump administration. I kept thinking, if you discard all of the negativity that exists in Trump world, there is one particular reason for him not being elected. He has 34 felony convictions open on his record! He should be in jail, not the White House! Tells us a lot about the American voter.

After the Puerto Rico joke, I was telling everyone that the Latino vote would be overwhelmingly anti-Trump and at least help win Pennsylvania. Imagine my surprise when I saw that 54% of Latino men voted for Trump. My optimism is gone, at least for now.
