Here is the news from America

So good news here - Biden won the election with a pretty commanding win. Trump won't concede but I had a feeling that was going to happen - he is going to have to exhaust all of his legal stuff and sue and litigate and contest the result but it will all come out ok because voter fraud is not a thing and the election was really fine. Trump told his people to vote in person and Biden and the Democrats had a lot more mail in voting and that is why they caught up to and beat Trump ultimately. This is not rocket science - it is tallying and counting. This will take a while but Biden is handling it well. He has said that Trump not conceding is an embarrassment - which it is - but he is working on his transition and getting things ready. I have looked at the transition website and it looks really good. You can find it here -

Lots of information on there and they are adding to it everyday. Anyways - I am sure this will all work out ultimately and Trump can slink off into oblivion or to jail as the case may be. There are a number of court cases pending against him and I really hope he goes to prison like he deserves. He might flee the country to avoid prosecution so that could happen too. I honestly don't care. He is threatening to run again in 2024 but I honestly don't think that will happen given his debt picture and the cases against him in court.

The really depressing thing about this election is the amount of votes Trump got - I think he got 70 million votes - that is a lot. He has a lot of support. That is really sad that this many people think he is ok and electable. Those MAGA heads are a crazy bunch - they have really drunk the KOOL AID. Crazy.

Anyways - I am glad about the election and waiting for the transition to our new Presidency to begin. Biden is not concerned and thinks that things will eventually go his way. I am on team-Biden and waiting patiently. So that is where I am on this. Let the Republicans waste their time with litigating the election. I think they are using this as a fundraising opportunity to bilk their supporters for more money - so there is that.

Anyhoo. That's what I think. Hope all is well with you. I have today off for Veteran's Day - my dad and my brother are both vet's and thinking of them today.

Cheers to you.
