Not waking up and wondering if we’ve gone to war over a tweet is a refreshing feeling indeed. ---

Every day for the past four years, the first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was roll over and check several news sites on my phone to see what utter bullshit Trump had tweeted or done (and let’s be honest, to see if he had started a nuclear war overnight). Most mornings were started with me rolling out of bed, thinking “Holy crap, what a fucking dipshit.” (And let’s be honest, also thinking “Thank God we’re not all incinerated.”) Today, I rolled over, and just out of habit, grabbed my phone and checked a few news sites. Without exception, every story I scrolled over I thought “Boring, boring, boring, boring…” And then I rolled out of bed with a smile and thought, “It’s gonna be a great day.” I’m just really looking forward to going a day, or five, or 15, without thinking about the president. ---

China was rather succinct in their opinion (from CNN): > [@](#): > > On Wednesday, hours before Trump was due to leave the White House for the last time, state-run news agency Xinhua tweeted in English an image of the US Congress with the words, “Good riddance, Donald Trump!” In fairness, Pompeo got the same treatment. He recently (from CNN): > [@](#): > > Thursday’s sanctions come in the wake of a series of final moves by the Trump administration targeting China, including sanctions aimed at officials and a declaration on its final day, that the Chinese government had committed genocide against Uyghur Muslims and ethnic and religious minority groups in its western region of Xinjiang. Which is probably closer to truth than we know, but why on the last day? Just to poison relations further? (because I doubt that Biden and the Democrats can just renounce it…) But the 2-word Chinese dismissal reminds me of working overseas for the Defense Department, I had to provide an offical letter to them via an officer that was much smarter than a lot of Washington folks were. His comment on reading it was to hand it back to me and say one word: “Rubbish”. So say we all. ---

How long can it take to cobble together a grand jury? But my more adult self is enjoying the meditative bliss of just being able to say “President Biden.” ---

It has been already 24 hours since the inauguration. Why is there no news story about some fantastical lie said by the president and a controversial decision? What is Joe Biden waiting for? He should have lied about something that is easily verifiable and is of no consequence at least twice by now. Oh, you mean he is a normal human being? I think I can get used to that. `//i\\` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-a-clusterfuck-in-the-making-part-deux-part-1/911083.md?page=459) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-a-clusterfuck-in-the-making-part-deux-part-1/911083.md?page=461)
