One thing I can truthfully say about the US election results...
I'm glad I am well on my way to enjoying psychotropic drugs.

Salmon Swim Free
Salmon have returned to the upper basin of Oregon’s Klamath River in recent weeks, successfully laying eggs in the area for the first time in decades, according to expert surveys. The development comes roughly two months after the removal of the last of four hydroelectric dams was completed, wrapping the largest dam removal project in US history.

Hogarth: Hey Dogger, morning to you. I was just thinking about things I never got over.
KD: Wow, that's pretty heavy this early, you mean like politics and stuff?

KD: Tis true, Hogarth, tis true.

Ken-Dogger: Morning Sly
Sly: What up Dog
KD: You seem to be looking around a lot this morning, what gives?
S: I'll tell ya what gives...That new guy keeps picking some weirdos for his cabinet. I'm just hoping I don't get picked.
KD: Why is that?
S: Dude, I only know how to eat and walk right now, not much qualification for anything. Seems that's what gets you in the candidate pool.

Joe Conason on #47 Cabinet Selections
What stands between our country and the national wreckage portended by these abominable Trump appointees is the U.S. Senate. There is no more important function outlined in the Constitution for that deliberative body, and there has never been a more urgent need for senators to stand up and protect the nation.

Unrecognized Downside to US Election
Given the alleged 'landslide' of MAGA and their ilk, women are taking a stand.
In my household, the Mikster has become more strident.
I REALLY don't need more strident in my life; it was strident enough already.
The tabloids will adjust; they always do.
They don't play the Democracy game; they play Capitalism.
I would have a lot of difficulty in the next four years in the USA if I were still restricted to wearing tighty-whiteys.
Your stuff loves color too...
And don't get me started on the fabric.
We ain't into Dixie cotton any mo'
