Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Action—-reaction.
It’s like physics, except we have a cult that argues against it.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Well, when you look at the margins of victory, it’s reasonable to expect a modicum of care and urgency in looking into possible fraud. The Russia hoaxers from four years ago wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Pretty impressive. He forgot about the closeness of the vote and the potential fraud, but he’s exactly right on the logic of late dem votes.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Biden will form a commission. Results to be a report issued in 2022 on what actually happened.
A lot of people don’t understand how deeply ingrained a bias for or against action becomes in a given individual’s makeup. Trump and Biden are at exact opposite poles.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It’s a fascinating strategy: foment outrage, division, and violence that will end when the good guy gets elected. Thereafter, point to the absence of violence as “healing” and “unity” that the bad guy couldn’t manage.
It’s as if we are in a made for TV movie. A bad one.
In reality it is the only leg they have to stand on: that Trump was bad for the country. If he wasn’t, then a LOT of Dems are really bad people. Really bad.
I still believe that history will judge Trump’s presidency favorably from a policy perspective. Yeah, he’s a boor, and that will ultimately he his downfall as a politician, but is that really surprising? I think that’s a lot less surprising than Arab countries recognizing Israel, people of color having the most economic opportunity of all time, and a massive spotlight being placed on the power of an intransigent bureaucracy.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Didn’t trump get more votes than in 2016? Hardly a repudiation. He was always the underdog.
still, I don’t think This is something he could do.
all that said, I believe the trump phenomenon will change politics for then better. Mainly it has opened people’s eyes to the games being played for their votes and to keep power structures in place.
A trump loss is a huge win for the entrenched bureaucracy and its patrons regardless of color. That bad for all of us.
Maybe somebody could pick up Trump’s mantle without the rough edge.

Coincidentally, I have about a bottle and a half of that smelly stuff sitting in my liquor cubby as I write this, and I will resent you for associating my enjoyment of Laphroaig with somebody’s enjoyment of Kamala.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Hey GR, wait until you see the cult of personality around Nikki Haley. It’s gonna be uge, and a lot of people will realize she’s a tea partier and trump never was.
here’s to four years of prosperity for us all.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Yeah. Trump is the only narcissist in this game.
Im w cc. I think Trump is done. Michigan moving hard toward Biden probably seals it, but they ARE still counting.
while I’m no fan of Biden as president, if he is indeed the president elect then we get some sense of normalcy in the White House, along with a relative beat down of the so called blue wave and the senate firewall still in place.
the market likes that.
____________________________________________________________
Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Hard to tell what to think at the moment. I’d like to say I like Trump’s chances, but with all of the “flexibility” around voting rules locally, who really knows?
Stalin’s famous quote holds sway: It’s not who votes but who counts the votes that matters.
It’s a disgrace that we don’t have some sort of secure voting system that tallies instantaneously. We’ve touted blockchain for years and this seems tailor made for it, but nah, paper ballots and stamps that some idiots probably still lick the sticky side of.
