Today is a silver medal kinda day. First place, would have been if the country could have stopped that madman by way of impeachment. Instead, we simply waited him out.

It still rankles me that so many senators abrogated their responsibility to choose rule of law, instead leaving it up to the electorate to decide. As if the distinction between duty and grift can change with the winds.

I am hopeful that we can make good on this opportunity, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Same here. I actually witnessed pro-45 signs on my commute that are newly installed, just within the last week or so. His legacy lives on.

Words are just words unless you got the actions to back them up but it was still like the difference between night and day to hear a president have a gram of humanity and compassion and empathy. I’m gonna add another voice in support of the poem as well, particularly - “we braved the belly of the beast”. Nice.

So long to the orange hell beast.

Definitely the way to go. I think the only reason to check in on the pundits is to keep an eye on whatever drivel they are serving up for mass consumption. I never expect to learn anything from them.

(Honestly, the history professors who have stepped up to write regular analyses of the news have been so much better. The two I have been reading the most are Heather Cox Richardson via the BBS and Christopher Bates on electoral-vote.com)

The thing that makes me relieved the most is that the Orange Loser hasn´t got the football anymore. Every day that this sociopathic freak had access to nuclear weapons filled me with existencial dread. This nightmare is over now.
Congratulations my american friends.

It’s nice to keep seeing all these little reminders of how so many of Trump’s shitty policies are being swept away. The page about this stupid program on the White House website is already down.

I’m hoping that they secretly replaced the football with this:

I think there should be a charivari of sorts for right wing intellectual charlatans who pull stunts like that bullshit for money.

Remember back in the fall when Trump kept saying on the campaign trail that if Biden gets elected the stock market would collapse? Well…

Honestly, it’s really, REALLY time to start ignoring the stock market as some kind of measure of national well-being. If this year has taught us anything about the Stock Market, it’s that Kai Ryssdol is right.

I mentioned it back on the original thread and it kinda dropped like a brick in the mud. I was relieved seeing this here, I feel moderately normal again.
