Don’t see anything in my news feed.

Did he have his grand red carpet 21 gun salute?

Has he got on the plane?

Has he left Washington?

He’s just walking out to the helicopter that takes him to Andrews AFB. CNN said he about a half hour behind schedule.

A lot of “If it goes bad, I told you so” immediately followed by “When it goes good I did it!”.

These last five minutes are the longest I’ve been able to stomach just listening to his voice uninterrupted, and I’m already starting to break out in hives.

My wish is that all the personnel ordered to attend the fiasco he is throwing leave the instant Biden takes the vow.

Trump and Melanie are boarding the plane now, and Y.M.C.A. is playing. Really.

I am surprised Trump didn’t try to steal the red carpet so that he could sell one inch squares on eBay.

I had to mute it, but I watched as the trump garbage was loaded up on the plane. I was flicking my finger at the tv and yelling “Get” “Out” “Go” as I saw each of them walking up those stairs.

I hope I never have to see another TRUMP again.

So what happens when he gets to Florida? Will he still have a Presidential motorcade to take him to Mar-a-lago, or will he have to call an Uber? 😛

The American news channel I’m streaming just mentioned that apparently Trump did, in fact, follow the tradition of leaving a note on the Oval Office desk for his successor.

I am assuming it says

MISTER POLICE YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER I GAVE YOU ALL THE CLUES
