Completely overshadowed by the passing of Edward Van Halen, it seems singer Johnny Nash has also passed on. :(

Well he's has his own issues but atleast he's not Trump.

Theres a LOT of work to do though, a lot of damage to fix, progress to be made again, shit like the 2021 to 2027 Tax Hike Trump installed, cockroaches to send skittering back into hidey holes, watchdog positions to restore, etc etc

hopefully that keeps Biden and his 2nd in commander busy and away from some of their problematic aims.

So, yeah, to add to the big middle finger of 2020, apparently Sean Connery passed away, too. On Halloween. :(

Oh, yes, that too.

There is so much shit happening we can't even keep up with it. :(

Anyway, now that Joe Biden is projected to win 306 to 232, exactly the same electoral college distribution of Trump's victory, I need him to talk about his victory in exactly the same words Trump used. "Landslide victory," "historic," "greatest victory ever," etc.

EDIT: Quite a shellackin'! Just came across this video which gives a good summary.
