Put a plaque under the portrait of Trump. Worst President Ever (with an up arrow). In comic sands maybe. ---

Forget hanging trump’s portrait. Hang Trump! Forgive me, I’m giddy and a little drunk right now. It is but a semi-permanent touch of vengeance and retribution talking. ---

From a very relieved and joyful Canadian, congratulations to all our American friends! I’m having an early glass of wine myself here. 😀 😀 😀 😀 The happiest person in Canada right now is probably Justin Trudeau, who faced an almost impossible task having to deal with the orange toddler. His message of congratulations to the president-elect and VP-elect was an understatement, to say the least. His relief must be enormous! ---

I think Trump is about to learn just how fast people stop taking his calls and jumping when he demands it. It’s going to drive him crazy (crazier). ---

Just looking at Arizona now - Trump needs 56% of the remaining votes to beat the President Elect. Trump needs about 55% to force a recount. He probably won’t manage it but could be close. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > I’m another who long ago made this point and supported Biden from the very beginning. I am so sick of all the Biden bashing. He’s a very capable, experienced man who is, as you well said, not Mr. Flash – Biden is precisely the guy. The danger of having a terrible man like Donald Trump in office is a county could swing radically in another direction, which further breaks down the social compact. A calm, experienced hand on the wheel is what the USA needs. ---
