Don't stop believing, Mike! Hold on to that feeling.

My poor parents, who have seen so much and watched the rise of Hillary Clinton with interest, are so sad for her. My dad, who is in his 80s and says precious little about politics but often votes Republican, was deeply sad to see the rise of open bigotry again in politics, given his memories of what...

My secretary, aunt, sister in law (not the one Mike knows), cousins, and numerous other female relatives of my husband are Trump voters. They do not feel particularly threatened by his sexism. They like Melania. They all think Hillary is a liar who would say anything to grasp power, which is a grave...

Just woke up. Googling is going to hurt, but here goes...

I'm really sad for my mom, y'all.

David Brooks is everything; he's like my Dad and the reason I can sleep now. Love him. BTW he went there and used the "evil" word, to the extent it's about race. He's the kind of Republican I grew up with.

Basically just laying here letting the soothingly uttered truths of David Brooks wash gently over me. She's apparently losing PA; I think it's over. Staying up to hear Trump and Clinton speak. Hope he can be gracious. I'm not happy to have that morning convo with kids about not discussing opinions o...

Well, it seems really likely he will win WI or MI. How does he even lose of that happens? Most of the liberal vote ftom Iowa seems to be in already so Trump will win it. Wheee!!! David Brooks is like a warm cuddly blanket right now. He is explaining it all to me. I wrested the remote so I could get ...

We are seeing the white vote right now that was never captured in polling. Rust belt polling was a disaster, obviously.

Ron is still blasé. I already finished the captain & coke, am on my fifth packet of Halloween licorice and thinking of taking a nap until Ron wakes me up with info. He is unflappable.

I wish you were right, but I think it's the future. Libertarians + white nationalism. Where are all the lovers of the baby Jesus in this mix, one asks rhetorically.

It's now a tossup election. Financial markets reacting. I am cracking out the captain and coke.

Aww, you are so nice! That would be great! You would soon tire of it though, madam, especially tonight! I am raging through the house like a mad beast ever since (a) being woken from my nap, which should not have happened for everyone's sakes and (b) discovering Gwen Ifill is seriously ill enough th...

The new ultra right knows that racism is unpopular and is on a mission to change that by making every white person terrified about the changing demographics of the nation, the importing of dangerous terrorists via lax immigration policy, and the eventual wiping out of "white people" as the...

Magicarp.

Sect!

No Janet Reno?

What kind of tacos are you making? I am so anxious about it I seriously cannot lay down in bed and relax. The whole thing is very uncomfortable; I really would not have picked her to be my candidate. Yet here we are, and wow, it is scary. I can't really go into my reasons for being scared if she win...

You'll just have to wait to hear Samaidriel's story...til I have time to write it. She's an Elven exulted of Desna I can't wait for this!!! We got a little bit of Anna's story which made clear there's a lot behind the scenes. A larger project is underway. I can't sleep. Need to pick up taco fixings...

Yes, we should do that thing in the cabin again. It was awesome and would be so much better now that the board is more organized around games of different kinds. Now that several of us have met in person (or via Roll20) in different combinations and clusters, it might be easier to commit to doing th...
