That’s cute, but it doesn’t help much.

My wife is losing our first child a few months into a rough pregnancy.
I’m losing my job at the end of the week.
And Trump is president.

I don’t want tomorrow to come.

Most of that’s not Trump’s fault, I guess. But it still sucks.

Yeah, I almost never drink, but it sounds nice. Wish I’d picked up a bottle earlier.

Oh, shit. Does this mean I have to acknowledge Scot Adams was right about something? Fuuuuuuuck.

Also, a much more significant worry. One of my best friends in law school is a Dreamer. I was not worried for him this morning…

Yeah, I’ve tried beers of all shades, gin, whiskey, tequila. They all leave me gasping for about two hours now. I used to liquor blog. I’ve got hundreds of dollars of obscure hooch sitting in a home bar. It’s not got me as bummed as Trump, but it’s got me bummed.

If Trump wins, I will feel a great sense of schadenfreude when things get objectively worse for these people.

How any of these folks can ever think such a bouge as Trump can ever be on their side just boggles my mind.

I won’t. Most of them don’t know how ignorant they are. Besides, they’re just going to get angrier and meaner, and that’s not going to be good for anyone who isn’t one of Them.

Yeah, if there’s one group of people who deserve to feel the painful consequences of their hate-driven, ignorant, foolish choice, it’s those fuckers (even if I’d prefer nobody suffer for it and their foolish choice was overridden by cooler heads).

This election reminds me that uneducated white Americans are slightly more dangerous than educated ones.

Like I said, my biggest fear is the American Kristalnacht that’s going to happen when people realize America suddenly isn’t “great again” and Trump says it’s the immigrants keeping them down.

The problem is, we’re all gonna feel the pain.

I was just watching that clip from the Wire. The audio track works well for this evening’s mood.

Yeah, the people who deserve the least to suffer will feel it the most.

Oops, sorry, I’ll have to look it up.

Apropos, I don’t even want to imagine what some people will feel emboldened to do in the next few days.

On the plus side, public transport funding in Seattle & surrounding areas looks to have passed, and Neil Gaiman has been tweeting photos of baby hedgehogs. So there’s that.
