I will miss my Republican and Democrat family members. I won't get together with them for the holidays this year for the first time since I was young, single and too poor to travel home. I am hopeful that I will get to see them again next year.
I miss my Republican and Democrat coworkers. I am hopeful that I get to return to our office to work with them in person next year.
I miss my Republican and Democrat friends. We'll cancel our annual holiday party for the first time in a decade. I am hopeful that we'll get to host them in our home again next year.
I miss my Republican and Democrat fellow KU fans in AFH. I am hopeful I get to return there some time next year so we can all squeeze in shoulder to shoulder to cheer on our Jayhawks.
We have a long ways to go to dig out of this toxic sludge pit and return to normal but I am hopeful we can do it.

I wonder how many in the streets right now were complaining about Trump's super spreader events.
Masks help, but in a crowd that size and density...
yes.
Very dumb and incredibly hypocritical.
I'm sure Ousdahl will justify it.

Jesus dude, I don’t get your beef with me.
Allow me to kindly suggest that I might come across as less of a villain if you stopped putting so many words into my mouth.
Since you brought it up, I’m not a fan of celebrating political victories as if your team just won the super bowl, and I’m certainly leery of disregard for public health precautions during a pandemic.
And since you also brought up the issue of hypocrisy, may I ask why you tried to give me so much shit about Biden even though I never supported or defended him, then you voted for him anyway?

Let me break down the big difference/s between a super spreader and celebrating Biden's W.
Super spreader - Assholes supporting another asshole. Assholes ignoring science and rebelling against what? Common sense?
Biden's W - People of all races, religions, etc., UNIFIED. Supporting and celebrating a decent human being.
I was just out celebrating with 1000s of people. 98% wearing masks. Don't think so? I have photos and videos to prove it.
No, not everyone "social distancing" but amazing that Dems will wear masks because they care about themselves and OTHERS.
Imagine that, respecting your fellow American.
TODAY I witnessed what what America is supposed to be. For many reasons.
Good stuff.

When the Wicked witch was killed, there was a pandemic in Munchkinland. Try to stop those who have been spared from brutal tyranny from rejoicing, The Lollipop guild partied for days.

I haven't given you ANY shit about Biden.

Tell you what dude, let’s both just chill out and try to get along.
If you happen to stop by the satellite shack later, first bucket on me.

Here as well. It's a good night for America. Time to stop yelling and demonizing and behave like normal adults.

I can see the Trump Tower from my west windows.
First time I can ever recall the spire is not illuminated at night.
Looks like there may be a power outage on the top 10 or so floors.
Talk about poetic justice.
