I think I'll stop at Jersey Mikes and get a Philly cheesesteak in honor of the City of Brotherly Love. After which I'll have my customary shot and a beer.

I will try to look at the positives of a Biden Administration such as a trade deal may be reached by Biden joining the Trans Pacific Partnership, which Britain might also join.

There are also pluses in the fact NATO will now be more secure, and that the US will return to the Paris Climate Accord, and other international cooperation.

Biden may also be more sympathetic in relation to the extradition of Anne Sacoolas and other such cases, when compared to Trump's America First on everything stance.

If Biden wins his time will however be limited and he will be hindered by the fact that the Dems did not perform well in terms of Congress.

As for Harris, Biden's tenure does could tarnish her in any future Presidential campaigns, and this is always a problem in terms of VP's.

Joining the TPP would be good. One thing that hurt Hilary in 2016 was backing away from the TPP after earlier calling it the "gold standard of trade deals" just to pander to Bernie supporters on the left. The woman simply had no principles.

Have a nice steak dinner with my wife and bask in the joy of watching the narcissist lose. Very entertaining to sit and watch a narcissistic bunghole get served.

Then I'll cringe with others as we watch America go down the drain again.

How nice of progressives to relax during covid lockdowns and curfews, civil unrest, and a pandemic.

Liberals really do think Biden is the Messiah.

Well , it was a great 4 years. The last year being probably the best we've had, same with all my family members and friends, even the liberal ones. I've got a bottle of Woodford Reserve engraved with Trump 2020, was going to open it if he won, might just open it now to toast how thankful we are for how things have been.
Now it's time for Biden / Harris to shine , I guess. I've been hearing from the Democrats, and leftists how much better of a job they can do...looking forward to it. If the next four years are as good as the last, I don't care whom is in charge. Looking forward to seeing Covid controlled, and those new 750 million jobs...I'm sure those will help the country.

Not the point Dude...it's that, despite the sadness, loss, frustration, desperation, depression, etc., experienced for too long, people are wanting a leader who is in control, one to positively assist the American people, one who is supportive, empathetic, kind, smart, experienced, wanting unity... being appropriate for the position.

That is why one could begin feeling relief, knowing that a real leader is in charge.

First a feeling of relief. Then satisfaction. And now that the defeat of Donald J. Trump has had time to really sink in a feeling of pure unadulterated joy.
