Can you imagine what it’s going to be like to have a President who actuality trusts experts in their field? Man, Trump set the bar really low, didn’t he? ---

Dude in my neighborhood had that “NO More BS” flag hanging on his flagpole the last month. It was gone today. Actually, kudos to that guy. His Trump sign was gone as well. ---

There really will be no more bullshit after January 20. Well, much less anyway. Late to the party here - well done America! What great news to wake up to. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Go bake a tray of cookies and bring them over to him as a thank you/peace offering. I actually don’t even put Biden or any other political signs out. I kind of have a little bit of fear of the rabid Trump supporters. My neighborhood has several Trump flags and banners, but my county voted 70% for Biden. ---

When I heard on NPR this morning that Joe is already assembling teams of experts to advise on a bunch of stuff, I got a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. Has Mitch McConnell offered any words of ~~wisdom~~ bullshit re Biden’s victory. Maybe he’s weeping quietly into Mother’s lap next to Mikey. ---

How about Andrew Johnson? Wasn’t he also notoriously terrible? ---

I guess. I’ve always heard Andrew Jackson listed as the worst. It’s Trump, though. I think Trump is the worst in the entire history of the country and he will be at or near the bottom of all lists in 100 years time. ---

So I just poured the last little glass of champagne from the bottle I picked up earlier. (It’s been a dozen years since I’ve had champagne.) I’m single, and I couldn’t let it go flat, so I took care of business. I just now realized that I can go back to capitalizing the word “President”. ---
