Just left a small Brazilian church service in Queens. It’s amazing to me how kind and resilient the pastor of that church is. Even though we all despise who and what Trump represents he still prayed for him as well as Biden. I can admit I cannot bring myself to say a prayer for Trump. That is on me, but pastors like that man and the woman who is the pastor of my church in The Bronx that also prays for him despite her dislike of who he is shows a level of forgiveness I hope to reach one day. That day is not today though.

Never realized how much positivity made a difference. I'm proud to be an American today!
Positivity can be such a driving force for a country. It is a choice we all are able to make, but it is nice to get reminders like tonight that those who occupy the two highest offices in the land will govern with that mindset. It makes such a big difference in how issues will be approached.

Today was awesome and I am so proud to be an American again. These last four years have been dark and I am glad my 5 and 3 year old daughters don’t have to grow up under that weight anymore. They get to see what is possible instead of being told what isn’t. It feels like a new day with fresh fall air blowing in the windows of a damp, dark house.
I will remember this day for a long time for several reasons, but mostly because Team Trump accidentally held a press conference outside a Philadelphia landscaping company.
Oh man today felt good! From waking up to the yelling and horn honking of the Puerto Ricans in my neighborhood in East Harlem when the election was called to seeing people dancing quite literally in the streets of Harlem was amazing. Just pure unadulterated joy from people who have not had much to celebrate this year. Then going from that to seeing the young folks partying at Washington Square made for a very enjoyable and blessed day.
I still cannot believe that press conference in Philly. That is easily the funniest thing to happen during this entire election!

The two speeches tonight were so good to hear. They were breathing positivity back into the lungs of our nation. It was so nice to hear two adults get up and talk to us tonight and remind everyone that we are able to choose to be positive or negative in our outlook. For tonight at least I hope most of us decided to enjoy the return of decency and empathy to the White House.

I’m seriously thinking about going down for the day.
I will definitely be at the inauguration. If I had not had to work yesterday I would’ve stayed in DC from Tuesday until they had announced Biden’s win today. I have never been to an Inauguration so this will be a good first one to attend.

I'm at E58th and 1st. That is looking across 1st Ave.
There is going to be a dance party down in Washington Square Park tonight. I'm heading down.I will definitely stop by to watch that. Spent a good deal of time at protests there over the summer. I am in East Harlem right now so you can imagine how festive it is here right now.

This weekend is going to be a party across much of our world. I hadn’t turned on any coverage yet today, but I gathered what happened after hearing horns honking and people yelling in the street within the last 45 minutes or so. I first thought it was another protest march since we have still had plenty of those here this week.

No one understands and writes better stuff about Trump and Trumpism than David Roth.
Absolutely. He is the guy you want to read if it has to do with that. He’s just an extremely talented writer overall. I am glad all the old deadspin guys and gals got together to form Defector.

Oh and David Roth is pretty funny too.

Speaking of still counting, apparently California by itself, with just 2/3 of the vote counted, accounts for Biden’s national 4 million popular vote lead over Trump. I cannot overstate just how much he is loathed by most people here, and that’s why it’s shocking to see how close this election was for those of us out West.
He should lose by somewhere between 6-7 million nationally and that will mostly be y’all. That’s awesome!

But someone has to do that job. That person shouldn’t be able to make a living wage?
No they just bootstrap their way to the top and work 90 hour weeks like a real American would to earn their keep.

Meanwhile, Bannon wants Trump to start beheading Fauci and other “traitors.”
STEVE BANNON (HOST): Second term kicks off with firing Wray, firing Fauci.
Now I actually want to go a step farther but I realize the president is a kind-hearted man and a good man. I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England, I'd put the heads on pikes, right, I'd put them at the two corners of the White House as a warning to federal bureaucrats. You either get with the program or you're gone -- time to stop playing games. blow it all up, put Ric Grenell today as the interim head of the FBI, that'll light them up, right.
JACK MAXEY (CO-HOST): You know what Steve, just yesterday there was the anniversary of the hanging of two Tories in Philadelphia, these were Quaker businessmen who had cohabitated if you will with the British while they were occupying Philadelphia. These people were hung. This is what we used to do to traitors.
BANNON: That's how you won the revolution. No one wants to talk about it. The revolution wasn't some sort of garden party, right? It was a civil war. It was a civil war.
I’m glad they agree that traitors should be hung. Looks like they want to be first in line.

Here's my quick question -- folks are saying that if Biden wins, we must engage the other side, and work to heal this country. I think that is sound reasoning. It is indeed what we should do. I don't know if I have the willpower to do it, but I agree that it's what should happen.
Now, run that same play....if Trump wins a second term. Do you think team MAGA will "reach out to the other side to unite and heal this country?" Or.....will it be an unrestrained orgy of overreaching and "SUCK IT, LIBTARDS!" around the clock? Come on. We all know the answer. The Trumpkins who have the guts to post around here have admitted as much (and provided their example of how it would go).
There is a path to healing this country if Biden wins. It will be tough, but there's a path.
There is no path to healing if Trump wins. In fact, the mission will be to inflict as much pain on those who "betrayed" him as possible. It will be four years of vengeance and cruelty, and policies aimed solely at inflicting pain on those they want to hurt.
And we don't know which will happen yet. Thus, a LITTLE BIT of anxiety.
So the reasoning is sound on if Biden wins. I agree with it.
If Trump wins I agree with what you said there too.
I am fairly level-headed and have a really good ability to listen to others and their worldview. Prepare to read the following in Stephen A Smith’s voice. HOWEVER, I do not have the wherewithal to listen to someone talk about an entire political party participating in some wildly ridiculous conspiracy involving a child pedophile ring. I also do not have the ability to listen to a party full of our fellow human beings just randomly say COMMUNISM is coming with Biden and Antifa will be marching on our neighborhoods along with MS-13. There are people who are professionals at working with cult members and reintroducing them to the real world. My younger brother voted for Dotard. I have never heard him go the conspiracy route. He votes R because he thinks the economy will continue to crater with Biden as best I can tell. Trying to explain to him why that is not accurate in any way, shape, form or fashion is something I am not prepared to do at this point. I can be kind to them like I would anyone else, but not I will not listen to wild Pedo-driven conspiracies and the Deep State whatever you want to call it.

Well, in Q-aggon's defense, the sudden impact of unfiltered reality would have to be akin to having a jet airliner collide with your brainstem.Folks say that to heal this country you are going to have to engage with the other side to do so. I am not prepared to engage with people who have a completely fictitious and made-up reality that take their direction from a carnival barker soon to be evicted from the White House as well as fervently believing in that absurdly insane Q conspiracy theory.

Cube knows what it is. Niggaz mad at him because it was a bitch-assed Uncle Tom move. Sometimes the pride of your people needs to take precedence over collusion. Get off your knees and wipe your mouth off Cube!
I have always liked Cube (Die-hard Laker fan like me and I grew up listening to him), but it would serve him well to just admit he screwed up. Something about his personality says that admission will not be forthcoming though.

I like King but I feel like these segments have gotten incredibly repetitive. I wish they’d do more projecting with the numbers as more votes come in. I’ve been watching all day long. There are five states in play — I know each candidate’s path. You don’t need to keep showing them to me.I probably like him more than the average viewer because of how repetitive he is with the numbers.

His young backup isn’t bad, goes overboard on trying to be objective which is actually appreciated.He's incredibly nervous. Constantly wringing his hands. I'm surprised he hasn't kind of settled in by now.
He’s nervous because he might be starting at QB for Dallas this week.

So, who takes Harris' seat?

I cannot say I have ever used it. I heard it said a bunch during the protests I attended in DC and NYC though. If I run across someone, like a guy who stopped me here in my neighborhood to welcome me to El Barrio about 30 minutes ago who is from Mexico, I would refer to him as Mexican (Especially since that is how he referred to himself.)
