Really. I guess the big news is that we now have a vulgar buffoon liar con artist for president, who has never held public office. He stiffs his contractors/workers and files lawsuits at the drop of a hat. Don’t get me started on the sexual harassment allegations and actual admissions of guilt. And that just not my opinion. That’s what the NY elite have called him for years-he’s anathema in the high social circles he failed for years to break into. Multiple people who have worked with him say the same, and some of it is on tape. Now he’s in the White House-what a disaster the next four years are going to be. I have no idea what’s going to happen, but it can’t be good. And how much of a mess is going to need to be cleaned up, I have no idea either-we’re definitely going to be going backwards-the reactionaries have won. And Hill got the popular vote, but not the electoral one. Second time in 16 years, and 110 year gap between the last two times. Here’s the voting map with %’s-purple means evenly divided. It’s definitely more red/blue polarized than last time, especially in the Midwest. It’s “vote for the outsider” time, even though he is about as much of an outsider as Hill is.

E is a mess because of it, and they’re in the streets here in Portland and across the country. It’s called the First Amendment, folks. And there’s a drive to get the electors to be faithless.
Anyways, work is fine, gamelan got moved to Fri., waiting on the Kronos. I have the money, and it’s just a matter of time.
