WOTD: "Demonic Confederacies & Angels from Africa".
She's hearing 'sounds' so maybe it's time for her to check herself in for a little vacation.
“When those shithole countries send us their angels, they don’t send us their very best . . .
. . . Why don’t they send me some angels from Norwegia?”

A riddle, for our Q-anon friends:
Trick question! You WANT us to say "one," but the real answer is "massive Democrat deep state Soros-funded global pedo cabal."
I'm still waiting for my Soros check. I plan on ordering some pizza delivery with it.
MSNBC calling Biden President Elect with latest vores from Philly.!
Trump heading to the golf course. He’s going to have a lot more time for golf now, at least before he goes to state prison for tax fraud!
Good luck in the days ahead Kamala and Joe. If you need advice, Pols is just a keyboard away
Now I can breathe.
AP has also called it:

Thank God it is over. I feel like a hostage being liberated.
73 days and (checks clock) a bit under 22 hours to go….
Jill Biden apparently tweeted out a photo with Joe in a Biden #46 hat. I'm wondering if those will become valuable eccentricities — with Trump coming down with something awful and resigning, with Pence becoming #46 in time to pardon all of the Trump family members.
Fortunately, pardons aren’t for future crimes. And wouldn’t they need to be charged with a crime before it could be pardoned?
They would have to explicitly confess to breaking federal laws in order to be pardoned. Anything discovered later would not be covered. And of course, state criminal investigations would not be affected. And as OJ found out, civil suits could serve the cause of justice as well.
But, yeah, Pence might become #46 for a few weeks, given the norm-breaking Trump regime years.
Pizza actually worked! After years toiling in newsrooms on election nights, I realized Friday evening we had not yet had pizza for the longest presidential election night ever. So I ordered some.
And Biden was called the winner this morning!
But I’M going to take credit – 20 hours ago I officially called the election:
“I hereby officially call the election: Biden and Harris are the winners. They are our next President and Vice President. Congratulations to our President-elect and Vice-President-elect! #CallTheElection”
Mike Littwin has an excellent column worth reading. He dug up a 65 year old quote I’d never heard, but explains a lot — where the GOP’s current mindset really became mainstream (when Joe McCarthy was thought merely to be an aberration).
Nixon was a better president than Trump. Reasons I know this: signed the National Environmental Policy Act, signed the Endangered Species Act, banned DDT, signed the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, created the EPA.
What has Trump done other than being a tool of the oil & gas industry? He did sign the Great Outdoors America Act, but probably did so only as a sop to the Senate campaigns of Cory Gardner and Steve Daines.
It was a Democratic Congress that passed these acts, but Nixon did sign them. Credit where credit's due.
CHB — Littwin’s point was that Nixon was the grandfather of today’s Republican Party, with Trump being the logical outcome of the path Nixon forged about 70 years ago.
Fortunately, Biden’s call for unity is more aligned with Stevenson’s philosophy, and we are fortunate that Biden actually won and is a position to follow his better angels.
Neither Biden nor trmp has 50% in Georgia at this point. Will the presidential race go to a runoff in GA if neither reaches 50%?
Thank you, Jo Jorgensen, for siphoning off enough libertarian-type Republicans from Trump to help Biden.

Rest in Peace, Alex.
