  - helps if you've seen Wanda Vision for sure -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 05:50 5
    - but isn't wanda vision nothing but easter eggs from all of the movies? that's why I avoided to begin with. -- nm - amandachem Nov 7, 05:56 4

      - Hee! Jettie leaves her favorite toys in bed for me. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 7, 05:47
  - Oh, no! Did you and David get the 'Rona?!? -- nm - secretslacker Nov 7, 05:27 1

- Wait, St Louis College of Pharmacy has a basketball team? -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 7, 05:22 3
  - Pharmicists need to hoop too! -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 05:29 1
    - But they're all 6 foot nothing and whiter than Maalox. -- nm - Bayronmax Nov 7, 06:36
  - Their campus is basically in the middle of ours. I sometimes go over there to hit their Chick-Fil-A or Starbucks. - Bayronmax Nov 7, 05:26
- Their athletics is strange. I only see two games on their schedule for the season. One today and then another on Dec. 21st. - Krusty Nov 7, 04:57 2
  - They do have a full NAIA schedule. ESPN only shows their games against NCAA opponents. -- (link) - Dano Nov 7, 05:00 1
    - Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was on a different site of theirs and it didn't have sports schedules. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 05:01

One really crappy thing about this election is my attitude swerving close to "fuck 'em all, I don't care how much these low-information voters suffer now." -- nm* - mara Nov 7, 04:25 8
- I am fully there. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 7, 05:53
- I'm there; but then I remember all the people who didn't vote for him (and will suffer same as the ones who did) and feel bad -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 05:43
- I agree completely. from now on when someone complains about costs or the job market, I will ask who they voted for and walk away if it was trump. -- nm - amandachem Nov 7, 05:30
- Leopards. Faces. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 7, 05:16 1
  - Yup. Medicare slashed, social security reduced, friends deported - ya'll asked for this! -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 7, 06:04
- We are all processing our reactions and I don't think anyone should beat themselves if some of those thoughts occur. However... - ty97 Nov 7, 04:57 1
  - This is good, thanks. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 05:20
- me too. I keep wanting to lash out and the scolding myself when I do -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 04:45
I have seen you liberal white people come here in order to preach to the choir about your politics. I do have a question: - con_carne Nov 7, 04:25 14
- I've seen your posts over the last several days taking shots at several of us, or in this case all of us. I do have a question: - Turd Ferguson Nov 7, 06:38
- cause it is going to make me mad, I can't reach them, and I love them. They are not like me -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 7, 06:06
- My family (wife and kids) share my politics. My family of origin (mom and sister) are trumpsters and I have cut them off. -- nm - Fuzzy Nov 7, 05:51
- Why do you presume we don’t? -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 7, 05:14 3
  - With that said, if there is something, anything we can do to help you feel more like part of this community, I am all ears. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 7, 05:39 2
    - Yes, I concur with this. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 06:38
    - This. -- nm - Marlowe Nov 7, 06:37
- Hi Latino male whose fellow Latino males voted majority Trump in this election. - ty97 Nov 7, 04:59 3

    - If there's one thing this election has made clear, it's that progress needs everybody's help. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 06:07

Now Playing: That 90s Show. Because what soothes the soured spirit more than completely frictionless sitcom humor with a laugh track? -- nm - Qale Nov 6, 20:18
I'm so sad we let down Jimmy Carter. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 20:03
and in lighter news today I realised Brett Goldstein is Roy Kent. never really watched Ted Lasso, but I've listened to podcasts he's been on and he's - mafic Nov 6, 19:46
my hot take is I'm blaming Biden. at the time I thought quitting would be fatal, but the start of Kamala's campaign changed my mind. - mafic Nov 6, 19:45 27
- I blame the people who voted for Trump. That’s it. That’s the answer. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 7, 03:33 5
  - For sure, but learn from it or lose next time too. For whatever reason dude resonates with people, and the playbook isn’t working. - mafic Nov 7, 04:23 3
    - 1) "effecive" is hilarious and depressing. 2) 100%. -- nm - amandachem Nov 7, 05:33 2
      - It really is. A couple Australians have tried it and fizzled, but I feel like there’s growing ill will particularly around housing, inflation, and - mafic Nov 7, 05:45 1
        
        Trump's superpower is getting people to feel exactly what he wants then to no matter what words he uses. - Inigo Nov 7, 06:10
  - 100% -- nm - Inigo Nov 7, 03:47
- running against a 34-felony conviction, adjudicated rapist, who tried to overthrow the gov't the last time he lost, there was literally nothing any - mr mooch Nov 6, 22:24 3
  - agreed -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 7, 06:07
  - This. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 05:20
  - yup -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Nov 7, 04:38
- Obama and Pelosi apparently wanted Mark Kelly to be the nominee and had already worked on it, which is why Biden immediately said it was going to be - jnine Nov 6, 22:23
- Though I’m not convinced that Kamala would have won the primary, or that a better candidate would have come out of it. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 20:10 3
  - What candidate would have made it? Name one. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 21:16 2
    - kind of the unknowable of history. moments in campaigns forge people for good or ill and who knows what might have happened. - mafic Nov 6, 21:49
    - evidence suggests, unfortunately, that dems should have gone with Penisface McDickhaver -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 21:36
- Yes he should have quit in 2023. But it's BS to blame him. There was so much more. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 20:04
- She proved herself to be up for the job, look at how she triggered him at the debate, she would have been a competent executive. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 20:01 7
  - she kicked his fat ass into the sun at that debate. Hias cult says it was 3 to 1 because the moderators fact checked him, he's the Real Victim. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 21:14
  - for sure. I just think people would've been more excited if she was a choice rather than a given. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 20:35 5
    - It was racism and sexism that made her have about 12 million less votes than Biden. Being on the campaign trail longer wouldn't have changed that. - Inigo Nov 7, 03:53 1
      - it's not going to change the result but it's driving me insane that people are comparing this when half of California is still not counted. - Reagen Nov 7, 04:08
    - The people voted for her as VP. All of the votes for Biden were also votes for her. This is MAGA bullshit. -- nm* - loosilu Nov 6, 21:15 2
      - also I'm not saying "nobody voted for her, she's a fraud!" I think she was the only possible late-stage replacement for Biden, but people are more - mafic Nov 6, 22:00
      - veep is a secondary factor, and for most people a distant one. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 21:53
- Sadly overheard more maga types mention gender over anything Biden did/didnt do. -- nm - budice Nov 6, 19:50 2
  - Heard countless MAGAs, especially women, claim she was unqualified and had no policies, both of which are obvious bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 20:05 1
    - Every time, I asked them to specify. No one ever was able to answer. They were repeating Trump and Fox bullshit. - loosilu Nov 6, 21:18
Will Biden forgive more student debt now that the election is over? -- nm - budice Nov 6, 19:41 1
- I think they're considering a tsunami of executive orders. But will he do it is the question -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 19:55
Congratulations America, you got back together with your ex who was supposed to be in jail -- nm - FB Nov 6, 19:36
I know you're tired And you ain't sleeping well Uninspired And likely mad as hell - zunk takes things literally Nov 6, 19:21
Remember the unnamed black clad squad of federal cops donny let loose in Portland? Made of Border patrol and prison guards. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 19:11 3

- When the looting starts the shooting starts. There's no "deep state" to say uh wait a minute, they'll be fired -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 6, 19:12 1
  - My dad has accused me of being deep state for years. - loosilu Nov 6, 20:10
Yay!! Regular programming on ABC. I needed my Jeopardy. -- nm - Meg Nov 6, 19:04
I’d like the head of the person in the party who quashed “they’re weird” and “we’re not going back” on a platter. -- nm - Tim Nov 6, 18:56
