    It’s like finally leaving an abusive four-years-long relationship with a bullying, cowardly, gaslighting, lying, greedy, mean-spirited, narcissistic psychopath who has managed to convince half your family that he’s actually a good guy and you’re the problem and they just keep enabling him and telling you how bad you are.

    Six hours and counting…praise the Lord!

    Wish you all the very best and that there will be no incidents!
    In Germany “we are sitting on hot coal” too.
    I just read up on what’s Trump been doing lately, like pardoning Bannon and his friendship with abominable loonie Ray Moore:

    And a guy like that was a judge and (almost) made it to senate???

    Maybe the two most important things we have going for us is that Biden is a decent person, which Trump was not and never could be, and the fact that Biden knows how government works, which Trump came in neither knowing nor caring about. There are no guarantees, but those two things are a good start.

        As someone who braced Biden face o face over his bad behavior and bad decisions thirty years ago, and notes he remains someone who dismisses a national health service out of hand among his other continuing bad ideas, I’m not at all sure he’s a Decent Person, so much as typical hack who has had some terrible personal experiences…and hasn’t as yet learned that political opportunism isn’t the same thing as genuine statecraft (see his deal with Clyburn that had all the other centrists step aside).

        That said, I’ll take the typical corruption over the berserk reactionary improvisation from an administration under the direction of a malignant narcissist and his band of thugs. I won’t like it, but I’ll take it.

        As happily as this kind of thing can get, the Trumpista putsch was populated by clowns. I wonder if they thought they would be allowed to do much more than serve as targets for the police and soldiers being assembled to route them, had they chosen to be any more obstreperous.

    Yes, “Oh Happy Day” is the song of the day, for sure.

    Agree mostly with Deb, but the people who like him, like him because of the things he says and does, not in spite of them.

    They’re stupid, basically.

    400,000 dead people and counting, at least half of them because he just didn’t give a sh!t about DOING HIS JOB.

    F#ck him into the grave.

    Watching him get on that plane was the best moment I have had in four years. Of course, it followed his usual lying speech.

    Agree with all the above comments, except of course for the one trumpanzee on this blog.

    Hopefully he’ll fade away into prison for all his crimes sedition, treason, (don’t those have a possible penalty of death??) sexual assault, fraud, lying, stealing, cheating
    the list could go on forever.

    Anyone who voted for him is complicit in these crimes and anyone at the “rally” of the 6th needs jail time.

    I don’t think there has ever been a more odious politician in this country.

      Maggie, Josh Hawley is grooming himself to be the next Trump. And Ted Cruz isn’t far behind. We still have a lot of weasels to deal with even if Trump is gone.

        Hawley is an asshole jerk who only wants to screw things up while making himself look like a big deal. I wish he’d go crawl in a septic tank and die. I wish that for T-asshole too.

      Rick. Hopefully the GOP will realize how badly they screwed up by embracing the worst person in the world for Potus. Some had their eyes opened when he incited the jan 6th assault on the capitol. Some have their heads so far up his big fat ass they’ll never see the light

    Bwa-ha-HAH!
    We did it!
    We stole the election with undetectable millions-of-votes Fraud!
    Now all we have to do is get everyone to take the mind-control drug we slipped into the phony vaccines, which everyone will want because of our phony Covid19 hoax. Once they do that, their tin-foil hats will be useless, and we can spread our Satan-worshiping, pedophiliac, cannibalistic new world order everywhere!

    Do I need to add “LOL”?

      I have to confess (pun intended) that I read about QAnon too and had to laugh like crazy. I really can’t imagine the type of people who think like this.
      Do you personally know any QAnon followers and what do you think about them?
      Imho fake news sources like breitfat, zerohedge etc are bad and crazy enough.

      Prashant, welcome back! We missed you!! Most Americans are relieved that Trump is gone. We endured four terrible years and we’re still dealing with the messes–coronavirus, unemployment, business failures–Trump caused.
