As of this morning---
Joe Biden is ahead in the delegate count, 238 to 213 so there's some great positivity there. I naturally love this headline and conclusion, no matter the source.
On news that it looks like Joe is going to win today, the Dow is up. Again. Another more than 700 points just now. Fantastic.
Meanwhile, the Orange Man is getting as crazy and desperate as predicted. He did this last night.
Trump falsely asserts fraud, claims a victory
The reaction, understandably, was swift.
It seemed almost fitting, in a tragic way, to see Trump, after brazenly lying to the nation for his entire term, lying once more on Election Night.
For four years, President Trump has sought to undermine the institutions of a democratic society, but never so blatantly as in the early morning hours of Wednesday. His attempt to falsely claim victory and to subvert the election itself by calling for a halt to vote-counting represents the gravest of threats to the stability of the country.

Naturally, with this orange President fighting our election system and this election, he's coming under very heavy but fair criticism, all across the nation.
Trump says he'll take election fight to Supreme Court
We're not some banana republic, after all. He doesn't own us as he did his own companies---which he ran into the ground, thanks very much. This is, once more, unprecedented for a President to do to us, to the nation.
We didn't get the "blue wave" across the nation the way we wanted and the way the nation certainly needs, that's for sure. Missouri, for God's sake, passed Amendment 3. Unreal. So now, Republican legislators will be free to gerrymander yet more of our state. It's unconscionable. But hey, they'll do anything for power, as Mitch McConnell shows nearly daily.
Some good news overnight, so far:
- Mark Kelly won in Arizona.
- Arizona went blue.
- Michigan and Wisconsin went blue.
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won! Yes!
Then there's this.
Biden’s current likely electoral vote range is 270-306.
That’s a big deal.
Folks need to (quickly) get over the emotional let down of not having a wave election, and realize the practical reality that we likely have done what we came here to do: end the Trump Presidency.

Here's hoping, folks. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, Kansas City, Kansas did this, locally.
It used to be, youth kept people from being elected to government positions and that was wrong. But this? An admitted sexual harassment and "revenge porn"? And he got into office? It stuns me he's a Democrat. Wow.
Pray for us. All.
God help America.

In summary, presently, anyway:
And for an indication of just what awaits Mr. Trump once he's no longer President, besides tax evaluation in the state of New York and possible crime violations, there's also the case of his finances.
