I really want to believe this is true, but my inner skeptic says it's folks trolling the trolls. Would al, of those "alpha" males admit to gross stupidity?
This morning I heard a guy on talk radio saying he took his wife and mother to the polls. His mother registered 20 years ago but hadn't voted since. His wife didn't change her registration since marrying and changing her address when she moved in with her husband. It was obviously a plot against women when they weren't allowed to cast their votes for Hillary. They're out there, on both sides…
Today has been a bit of an overload for me on many fronts, some of it owing to working past 9 in the lab last night. I'm taking a break right now and will catch you later. My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
I voted about a month ago. If you stateside chaps could hurry up and get this polling and counting stuff over with, that'd be great. I've waited long enough.
As I am sailor-superstitious and frightened of looking over the abyss, I'm feeling the need for a lucky meal tonight:
Crab cakes. Geuwine 'Murican Chesapeake Bay Crab – accept no substitutes. Just make 'em.
Steamed collard greens (hey – they're tastier and as nutritious as Kale, without all the Hipster baggage).
Zesty Pumpkin Soup:
(Warning – Zesty)
“Zesty Pumpkin Soup “is the essential element
in a November Election Night’s meal. Traditionally
considered a Lucky meal, serving “Zesty Pumpkin
Soup” won’t guarantee your candidate’s win.
But it certainly can’t hurt.
Ingredients:
•¼ cup butter
•1 garlic clove (crushed)
•1 cup chopped onion
•1 cup mushrooms (chopped)
•½ tsp. salt
•1 tsp. curry powder
•1/8 – ¼ tsp coriander
•1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
•3 cups vegetable broth
•1 3/4 cups (16 oz.) canned pumpkin
•1 cup Half & Half
•Sour cream & chives (as a garnish) to taste
Method:
Melt butter – sauté onions, garlic, mushrooms (until soft)
Add spices
Add broth & boil gently for 15 minutes
Stir in pumpkin and Half & Half, cook 5 minutes
Pour into blender and blend until smooth
Serve warm, with garnish, and enjoy!
Crab cakes are uniquely enjoyed the "Maryland" way. Saying that as a Virginian – – who shops where those devils are advertised fairly consistently as "Maryland Crab Cakes"~
If you’re puzzling at the results in Virginia — more than a fifth of precincts are reporting and Trump leads by more than 10 points — don’t expect an upset there just yet. There’s still a ton of the vote left to report in Northern Virginia, specifically the heavily Democratic Washington D.C. suburbs.
A Montgomery County elections official was removed from a polling location by sheriff’s deputies for failure to follow a directive of county officials.
Well, I was hoping to see Fla go to Hillz before bed, but sadly it's still trending red. And it's 3am, so I should drop off. I'm going to go to sleep dreaming of our new Madame President and wake to what I hope is that reality. Have a few cocktails for me Wonks, and go Hillary!
The veep breaks ties. Btu there won't be any ties because it takes 60 votes to do anything more controversial than naming a post office for a Confederate war hero in Alabama.
Yeah, I knew that was Kaine's jerb (please, gawd) but I've never seen a Senate session start with a tie. So Kaine will have to open the session and declare the Democrats to be the majority, and McTurtle has said he'd agree to shared leadership. As if.
After the 2004 election, I seriously considered leaving the country, but I didn't. If Trump wins, I will renew my passport and leave this country, because it is lost.
Jesus, in Maryvale (west Phoenix– large Hispanic population) there is a polling place with ONE machine functioning.. The AZ Dems got shot down by a judge when they proposed the polls be open until 10pm due to earlier voting issues! Just infuriating.
Karen, you're in charge of Ohio, noticed the county that Columbus is in is slow to report and leaning heavily hillz, Can she pull the fat out of the fire there? Looks like Cuyahoga has done all it could.
she could win without WI if she gets IA, but fuck. When I have to play with numbers like this, it's not a good sign. Losing both OH and FL are a real crotch punch.
Ugh – -at first I thought this was the Ice Cube movie featuring the boy who co-starred in "Kids" that offed himself IRL … whose character in Kids was the final spoken line of the movie, "What the f*ck just happened??" directly to the camera/ audience (after his character had passed HIV/ on to Chloe Sevigny).
It's the first scene that popped in my mind when someone upthread suggested those who voted for Johnson et al are stirring the turds in the punchbowl.
Nah, I'm in the less shooty part of Oakland. I'll wear a reflective shirt and a headlight. I'll try to retain a reflective mood. Not optimistic at the moment, but life goes on, and we can handle anything. Thanks for sharing the night, I'll be back in about 40 minutes. You're all a great bunch!
yeah, did it through the hilly park by the light of one hand cranked LED, and the way back by the first quarter moon. No cougar (felid or hominid) sightings, though.
A guy did get shot and killed deep in my park last year, though. Stupid robbery gone wrong.
I have a berniebro saying it's all Hillary's fault
Not just for Hillary, but Catherine Cortez-Masto for Senate and Ruben Kihuen for House of Representatives. And the pimp is losing to the Republican, for which I'm thankful. And holy shit, Question 2 passed? Legal marijuana in NV?
I told Cmdr a few months ago that I was truly worried about PA going red.. Then I thought better of it, like 'no, Southeastern PA and Pitt proper (Allegheny County) don't have it all tied up necessarily, but PA will be called blue within a few hours..'
(I deleted my comment 'cause I wanted to edit it.. derp)
You know what doesn’t change for me at all tomorrow? That I wish love and peace to everyone in the world. That I’m thankful for you and your mom (tie), my friends and family, the kitty cats, and I’ll never stop trying to make the world a little better and try to be a better person.
Trump just won PA to get him to 264. This has been over for hours. I'm going to bed and hoping I can sleep long enough to wake up to President Joe Biden in 2021.
Hang in there. Have a hug. I went on a run just now, in the dark, in hopes of sleeping better. We'll get up tomorrow and keep working on making the world a better place. It's a process.
My BFF who still has both his 'rents, who usually vote R, his 90 year old mom is voting for Hillz, and I think she's registered in FLA.

I have a BFF in central FL who's scared shitless, but she's probably the smartest person in a 100 mile radius.
My friend on Sanibel has been amazingly quiet. I'm sure I offended her in some way.

Sorry, I'm on it.
I see young guys like this and I think about what sort of idiots their parents must be to let them grow up to be this way.
Well I'm posting here but my brother is a Trump supporter so outside sources probably do a lot.
The MSM's legitimization of Trump is perhaps partly to blame.

Kentucky goes to Trump. Neither surprising at all.
Vermont to Clinton. 19-3 early Trump lead, nobody surprised.

Polls in Ohio and North Carolina just closed. Too close to call.
West Virginia goes to Trump, to nobody's surprise. 24-3 Trump, exactly what you'd expect no matter who wins.

Trump now the favorite in Michigan, putting him on track to win tonight.
59% for Trump to win. Barring a comeback we might have a full Republican government with Trump at its head.
