It's not a switch you can turn on and off. For 4 years the person who lost has vilified and lied about Democrats. Made them the "enemy of the people". His supporters I believe will die believing that. No wiggle room to get together to try to reconcile some differences. No way to bridge any gap. The person who lost has seen to that and continues on seeing to it.A one-sided anything just does not work. What is going to happen in that regard? Time will tell. Till then we tread water. Not trusting any of them. On guard. En guard. less

First in California in various jobs and then nationally as a California State Senator. Also President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle will be there every step of the way to help. They need not depend on the person who lost to help in any way. Under the circumstances that is a blessing.All the intelligence agencies involved have worked with the President-Elect in prior years and are familiar with his work ethic and MO. They are already transitioning him and his veep about intelligence concerns.There is nothing needed from anyone else. Good thing. Nothing helpful will be given. less

Anyone ever give you a hand to hold or pull you up? Ever do for others to pay it forward? Are you a good person?

He said "it's just an internet social site. It isn't life. You can't get hurt by words or bad behavior or rudeness or someone who lies."Know what? He is correct.How often do you get your pants in knot when you are chatting with names on a screen whom you have never met and never will meet? Why?
The home state of the person who lost is New York. New York did not vote for the person who lost. New York voted for the person who won.Try to spin that.

There is great relief and a feeling that Democracy is stronger today than it was several days ago and HAS BEEN SAVED. He said the feeling was that 4 more years of the same as the last 4 years would have done GRAVE damage.What was is known. What will be isn't. But the feeling is strong that the future will do better by us than the immediate past. Of course we can't KNOW that until we live it. But feeling better is better than feeling worse.The world is feeling better. less

A non-American suggested she choose Tammy Duckworth. A fine candidate I think. There are many possibilities. That's the best thing. It is a VERY DEEP BENCH now and will be even deeper then.

I thought she was gone and lost forever but she's back.I think she was just hiding deep within ready to emerge when I was ready to be her again. It's nice to find most of myself intact.

The world moves on. The segment stays sitll. What will happen? I don't know but it matters so little I cannot worry about it. What mattered bigly worked out fine. I am happy with that. I am not greedy. I will be glad to settle for that.

It wasn't for any purpose other than that.An outing like having a picnic or attending a sporting event.To have it end is not going to happen if it is up to them. Now they chant and cheer and holler about fraud and rigged and stolen.Anything to stay together in bondage for a cause so they feel they BELONG to something bigger than they are and they don't have to go home and be all alone on their own without that support of a crowd on which they count and have depended for 4 years. Giving that up isn't easy so they won't.Perhaps it is as simple as that. The point is staying together being together doing together. What for doesn't matter. What for isn't the draw..Anything to escape the solitude. Anything to belong to something no matter what. Anything is better than nothing which is what they are left with if they disband and move on. They are help... less
Chanting "stop the steal" and "this is isn't over" and "lock him up".Where is the evidence the proof the truth the facts?Or is it rather that this is what they enjoy doing?

Do you take everything with the same grain of salt as you tke everything else? If so is that a learned talent or must one have had to be born with it? Which brings up another question.

There is no point in rehashing the past. It is done and cannot be changed. The future holds many possibilities. If you keep looking back you will miss all those opportunities to do better be better. I think.

Not enough to change the winner and the one who didn't win.Now we extrapolate from those facts to date using a well-known phraseA house divided against itself cannot stand.Who said that?Check out MATTHEW 12:22-28Jesus is speaking"Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand"We are divided. But we are not doomed to fall apart and cease to exist. We have the option of not staying so divided. We have the option, choice, free will of coming together ENOUGH to keep standing. We are never going to agree on everything. The good news is...WE DON'T HAVE TO. We just have to agree enough on the important things. We did before. We can do it again if only we will.... less
