I've been sleeping in about 90-minute spurts and I still need another spurt or two today. I didn't post the last two times I got up.
The news at this moment looks good for Biden but it would be a narrow win, contested with court challenges and recounts for a while…and even if it holds up, we'll have to listen to Trump and his loyalists insist for years that he wuz robbed. I think if you beat Trump in a game of tic-tac-toe, he'd dispute it 'til his dying day.
I may be more depressed at the prospect of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announcing, as he will, that he will take great pride in blocking every single thing President Biden tries to accomplish.
Hey, could someone explain to TV newspersons that if you voted early by mail — perfectly legal — and your state isn't counting those ballots until the end, that does not make them "new votes?" Trump managed to convince a lot of people that if there was less testing — and therefore, fewer cases of the coronavirus being identified — there were less cases of the coronavirus. Now, he seems to want to try convincing them that if votes are being counted after Midnight of Election Day, they were cast the next day.
Oh, well. According to Trump, today's the day we won't hear any more about "COVID, COVID, COVID," because the news was only mentioning it so often to make him look bad. And he's right. Nobody's talking about the 91,530 new cases reported yesterday.
I think I need another spurt of sleep…
