Notes from the Post-it Wall | Post-Election 2020 Edition
• The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ensures Jim Carrey and Maya Rudolph are secure in their jobs while SNL cast members don’t get the opportunity to play POTUS and VPOTUS. Celebrity guests are fun every once in a while, but I have to imagine that not being cast when you’re a cast member is pretty frustrating.
• I desperately long for the day when every fucking thing isn’t a fucking thing. Maybe by 2023.
• The Republican Party gained more ground locally, and even some nationally. The courts are full of conservative judges who have every opportunity to legislate from the bench. The fight rages on, and progress is still a little behind. We must be more tortoise and less hare. Mitch McConnell not only looks like a tortoise, he’s been playing the slow and stead game for a long time, which is why he’s winning.
• Discussing America’s future with my dad, he told me, “You really need to be more optimistic about things, David.” I said, “I am. I’m optimistic that Mitch McConnell will die one day.”
• With President Trump soon to no longer be front and center all the time, HuffPost will have to find something else to be petty and snarky about. Maybe it’ll fold. But that’d be a Christmas miracle.
• Losing sucks. Not being able to admit you lost sucks even more. Winning is great. Gloating makes you a loser.
