If Biden won in a quick landslide, Trump could have put on a con man act as the gracious loser to win a bit of sympathy from the public, instead we get to watch the biggest douchebag on the planet and his douchebag children go down in flames in Full On Douchebag Mode
Nobody will ever confuse Trump with anything other than a douchebag ever again ... as we watch him slowly get buried in a state by state landslide.
And the fact that Republicans are just sitting back and enabling him will not be forgotten either.

(4,103 posts)That Trump will continue attempting to use the Supreme Court as his latest personal fixer.
They had a few days to reflect upon how much of an anchor he is around their necks and can see that Trump will have no problem trying to drag them down with him if his self serving shitshow is allowed to continue for four more years.

My good friend Dr. Seuss wrote a book a few years ago titled "Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!" He sent me a copy the other day and crossed out "Marvin K. Mooney" and replaced it with "Richard M. Nixon." It sounded like fun so I asked him if I could reprint it. Please read it aloud.
"Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!
The time has come.
The time has come.
The time is now.
Just go.
Go.
Go!
I don't care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
Richard M. Nixon will you please go now!
You can go on skates.
You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But
Please go.
Please!
I don't care.
You can go
By bike.
You can go
On a Zike-Bike
If you like.
If you like
You can go
In an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!
Please do, do, do, DO!
Richard M. Nixon
I don't care how.
Richard M. Nixon
Will you please
GO NOW!
You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
If you wish.
If you wish
You may go
By lion's tale.
Or stamp yourself
And go by mail.
Richard M. Nixon
Don't you know
The time has come
To go, go, GO!
Get on your way!
Please Richard M.!
You might like going in a Zumble-Zay.
You can go by balloon . . .
Or broomstick.
Or
You can go by camel
In a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble-boat
. . . or jet.
I don't care how you go.
Just get!
Richard M. Nixon!
I don't care how.
Richard M. Nixon
Will you please
GO NOW!
I said
GO
And
GO
I meant . . .
The time had come
So . . .
Richard WENT."
