in which pennsylvania makes us very happy

 

 

 

From the Ministry of Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction. 

Donald Trump won the 2016 Republican nomination

Donald Trump became president.

Now I am relieved and happy that Joe Biden is POTUS. 

I have a pretty good imagination but never ever did I foresee any of these things. 

All pundits should now retire. The world is far too strange for anyone's predictions.

I hear you Laura! Four years ago, I sat down with my late uncle and a pile of snacks to watch the election of the first woman to the US presidency. Hours later, the snacks were going rancid, I was low enough in my chair to risk falling out, and my uncle asked me to turn the TV off. I got out of the political prognostication business that evening.

Hillary Clinton wasn't my first choice, and neither is Joe. But what a relief it will be to have an adult with a full complement of emotions and a conscience in charge.

Trump tweeted today: "71,000,000 Legal Votes. The most EVER for a sitting President!"

On Fox, it was reported that Trump "would consider an appropriate transfer of power ... under some conditions" and was "willing to concede if certain conditions are met".

You can't make this shit up!!

Once Biden starts throwing around the "heal the nation" stuff, be afraid, very afraid. I can see Trump and his crime family riding unscathed into the oligarch money machine.

I fully expect that. I'll be beyond shocked to be wrong. (But as we know, that has happened!)

Apparently I didn't learn my lesson, as I predicted a decisive win in both EC votes and the popular vote. Whatever, it's done!

Clearly he does not understand the concept of LOSING. #yourefired
