It is almost 6 AM here in Belgium. I'm so happy to read good news for you.
It makes my day to see so significant wins :
- A transgender against the one who introduced a stupid bill
- A family member of a victim killed by gun against a brainless delegate of NRA
- A civil right lawyer become top prosecutor
- A Democrat become mayor of Atlantic City
- Next Governor of Virginia is Democrat, 14 seats flipped from red to blue
These wins shows how much your values are strong, how much you believe in them and cherish them. How much America is a great country.

May we have more election days like today. We're beginning to push back against those who sully our national honor.

Without any stupid red cap...
Trump's base can keep their stuff, it is still relevant for them...MAGA : made Amercians grumbling again...

(5,101 posts)I never had any doubt of you better than Adolf Twittler.
By the way, there is no comparison possible.

Thanx be to God for that!
My maternal grandfather landed at Castle Garden, not Ellis Island. When he disembarked, he got on his knees, kissed the ground and exclaimed, "God bless America!"
This is why I 'fight'.
syringis
(5,101 posts)I'm really happy for you.
Some might think I behave strangly and this is not my business since I'm not American. But I'm just acting as human, a world citizen who wants a better life for all. Not based on the worship of that hateful god named "Money"

(20,263 posts)All sisters and brothers in humanity.
We should be joyful for, share heartache, fortune and misfortune, and all human conditions with one another in proximity to us or on the other side of our world. 'Our' world.
It aggrieves me that we got this travesty put upon us. No one is deserving of destructive 'leadership'.
No one.
This happened in the good ole USofA.
Must be vigilant always.
Peace be unto you and yours.

(28,270 posts)Its nice to know that we still have friends in this world, post Trump.
His time will be limited by impeachment when the democrats regain control of Congress next year!
syringis
(5,101 posts)To me nothing changed : we were friends yesterday, we are today and still will be tomorrow
Trump is just a digression.

syringis
(5,101 posts)As we say in French : on ne jette pas le bébé avec l'eau du bain. It means litterally : we don't throw the baby with the water bath.
pnwmom
(108,995 posts)Maybe we originally learned that from the French speaking world -- as we've learned so much.
Lunion fait la force!

Best of luck to you!
syringis
(5,101 posts)I've been in many countries but still never went to yours. There is a reason : I want a very long trip, at least 3 months. Not easy to organize.
I did it once and all was set, our flight was on 14th september 2001...
Since, I couldn't manage yet another a trip. I remember; it took me almost 1 year to prepare the trip.
But now kids are adults, living their lives, I'm more or less half retired, it will be easier.

Well, half awful I love chocolate, we have the best one
Am I not a bit chauvinist ?

(24,123 posts)You don't know what you're missing... haha!
syringis
(5,101 posts)Well I drink a beer time to time...about 1 each 5 or 6 years
I like the fruity ones or a brown one called "bière de table brune". A light one, even kids can drink it. Purists would say it is not really a beer.

I was so happy this morning when I read the news
However, I feel a little disappointed : I expected a hurricane on Twitter but Adolf Twittler kept silent.
Must be too tired of all this winning.
