I’m sorry I didn’t upload this before, if there are some amongst you who want to discuss the, er, situation. I have been obsessing about this election for months now and I think that now we’re here I find I’m too anxious to watch the returns coming in as a Trump victory would be the biggest disaster for this country since, I dunno, the civil war? I took a peek at Twitter about twenty minutes ago (I refuse to use its other name) and the people I follow are all sounding very gloomy and now I’m more tense and scared than I have ever been about this election. The Russian bomb threats aren’t helping the situation. I don’t know if I’ll even check the news again tonight (who am I kidding, I will) but if you guys feel like chatting here’s a place to do it.

He killed three black shoppers and then himself.
This is the country we live in now.

Lock him the fuck up.
I’m still on hiatus–more details coming in a few days–but I thought I’d toss this out as a discussion topic. Here’s something on the, er, controversy from Vox. And feel free to talk about anything else you want to as well, as per our usual arrangement.
It’s a sad day in Trumpland as our former grifter-in-chief has been hit with another barrage of indictments, these dealing with Jan. 6.
Anyway, I thought you all would appreciate a thread to talk about the indictments and whatever else catches your fancy.

Well, it was about time he got indicted for something. And then today he was arraigned. You are invited to offer your thoughts on this historic development below and no, that picture of Trump’s arraignment isn’t an AI-generated fake or anything.
Well, it’s been quite a year, huh. Hopefully the next one will be a little better?
