HOW ARE YOU TODAY? Sending love ... please breathe
Will I make enough money to thrive and help my family thrive? And those people who've done well during this period, for some reason, who still have compassion have been able to celebrate your abundance when so many people don't have that. So it's a test for people's empathy for their compassion. And today is no different. Today is the day we're thinking about each other, who's standing online, who's freezing, who's feeling like their vote doesn't count

Thanks for that. Swell. We're doing pretty good today. Honestly, for me and my wife, we're just getting ready for the show, you know, because it's going to be Showtime. I do appreciate the well wishes and sending out the love. And that's true. People need to just breathe because not to get off super philosophical. But every emotional spade that we have comes with a breathing pattern

The monumental failure we've seen in leadership from this man is something of science fiction, almost like a dystopian science fiction. If enough of our populace wants more of this, if their lack of critical thinking, their lack of intellectual honesty and their willful ignorance is so profound that this seems like a good option again. And imagine the lawlessness we're about to witness if he remains President of the United States
The more I think about it, just the more silly it seems, and the more it reminds me that when this was established, people were still struggling to figure out how to refrigerate their foods properly, where they were going to get their clean drinking water and those sorts of things. So I feel like we're stuck in the past a little bit right now, and there doesn't really seem to be any indication that those ways of the past are going away anytime soon

I'm going to try to stay away from any kind of cable news, any kind of news whatsoever, any kind of news sites for most of the day, because I think it's a lot of mental anguish. We really don't know anything. So I mean, I think it is a lot of people just trying to project get eyeballs, get ears. And I just don't think anyone's really going to know anything till 08:00, maybe

Everyone's making such a huge deal out of this and you all need to calm down. Just wait it out, no matter what, something's going to happen, something's going to go wrong. But we have to just go go through it. If Joe wins, people who like Trump are going to get so angry. If Trump wins, Biden lovers are going to get angry no matter what, there's going to be something wrong that's is going to happen
Hey, Deborah, thanks for posting this. And when I saw this question, how you're feeling today? The word that popped into my head was Fay, and I actually had to go up and double check the meaning of Mary Mistrust website, and it means kind of an impending sense of a calamity. So that's what I'm feeling today. I hope I am completely mistaken. I hope we'll all get out of it. And it will be a cheerful, bright you morning for America

Calm and vigilant. I am going to make a Tshirt and wear it around the block with those two words. It's a great combo and it really embodies so much. So thank you for sharing your thoughts and thank you for that coupling of those two words. Really, really good for me. Thanks

To be perfectly blunt right now, I'm feeling pretty s***. Just read other New York Times that basically USPS has lost 300,000 votes or ballots largely from Democrat States, Democrats strongholds. Other joy is not wanting to comply with the federal judge and William Barr's backing other basically. So it sounds to me like I don't even know. I don't know what to make of it. I hope to God that Trump is still outvoted handily by people going into the polls and everything

And when I think about the true cognitive dissonance that we're all experiencing right now, the shock that this joke of a human, this bully, this man with no moral Compass can be voted in again. Or even if he doesn't even get in, this close call is just making me realize that we're living in a country that should be two countries. And I've never believed in boundaries or nationalism for the sake of nationalism

This dude that they claim they want out of there so bad, man. F*** that. Keep counting them votes. You ran out of ink. Well, you should have took care of that. And that sounds fishy anyway. Oh, you ran out of ink. That sounds crazy. Come on. I don't know. It's pretty much what I expected to be honest. Some type of some type of bullshit going to be thrown in the game, which is what had happened

If it goes against him, he can just dispute the h*** out of it. And he's going to feel like he's in the right because they stopped the voting. Especially one of the reasons I heard last night was they ran out of ink somewhere, and that's f****** crazy. If you really want this dude out of here so bad, why would you run out of ink?

Hey, it's Deborah. I'm checking back into this conversation. It's November 6 at about 01:00 Pacific Standard Time here in the United States. And it is pretty clear to most of us that the election has a resolution in in site and that bill that Joe Biden is the winner very razor sharp margin, but very important margin, although he did get over 4 million popular votes more than Trump did

You know what, Deborah? That's really admirable. I got to say that. I mean, it really is admirable. I don't know, maybe need personally, I think I'm just going to continue to just deal with each situation appropriately. Their whole mission and goal is to take yours. But I hear you the sentiment is nice and I really respect that. And I applaud you

But something I've been trying to do to help me understand is to think of things from the perspective of the Republican Party and think about what good in terms of advancing the Republican Party's power Donald Trump has done. So if I try to put myself in the shoes of a Republican, and I try to kind of reconcile other reasons why
