I can’t remember the particulars but I saw a Trump ad that was listing all the things Biden would do if elected and I was mentally putting a check mark by each one.

I’m sure the twit governor of South Dakota would love to have him in her state, so what I would like to see: Find a ridiculously desolate area in SDak (shouldn’t be too difficult). Give him 100 acres, completely ringed with a 20’ electric fence (or heck, build his wall, but still add other deterrents). Smack in the middle, build a 700 sq foot 2 bedroom, one bath house. Outfit it with a leaky toilet, loudly humming fridge, and Salvation Army reject furniture. Dial up internet only, with frequent outages. No cell service. Only vehicle is a 1993 Toyota Corolla with 280K miles, front end issues and bare tires. Deliver generic groceries, nothing pre-made. Then leave him there. ---

Before I can get on board with this plan I need to know if there will be a vegan option with soy kittens. As a liberal, I can’t support anything that isn’t inclusive of everyone. ---

Regarding Ann Hedonia’s proposed new thread from post-election to Inauguration, I propose it be called “The Interregum”, which is defined as: “an interval of time between the close of a sovereign’s reign and the accession of his or her normal or legitimate successor. any period during which a state has no ruler or only a temporary executive.” OK, not a perfect 1-for-1 definition, but it gets across the idea that one ruler is going out and another is coming in, but there is a gap of time between the actions. And it’s a word that fits the bill best, IMHO. Now, just to make sure such a thread is needed… Press on. ---
