Did Biden flip some breakers in the White House before he left...

President Trump loves to set the day’s narrative at dawn, but the deeper story of his White House is best told at night.

Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room. Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit. In a darkened, mostly empty West Wing, Mr. Trump’s provocative chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, finishes another 16-hour day planning new lines of attack.

Usually around 6:30 p.m., or sometimes later, Mr. Trump retires upstairs to the residence to recharge, vent and intermittently use Twitter. With his wife, Melania, and young son, Barron, staying in New York, he is almost always by himself, sometimes in the protective presence of his imposing longtime aide and former security chief, Keith Schiller. When Mr. Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe or on his phone reaching out to old campaign hands and advisers, he will sometimes set off to explore the unfamiliar surroundings of his new home.

9. Douched -- ugh. Thought that went out in the 50s as it is dangerous (plus normal bathing/showering

does the trick). Trump IS a douche of course.

(Dangerous as in it can cause infections and does nothing as far as normal vaginal health is concerned)

...but many times persons who will be engaging in passive anal sex "douche" to make sure they are fresh and clean all over.

8. Is now and always has been ugly. Um, whose bed is that? Looks like a girl's bed

I don't want to know if that bed was young Ivanka's -- it doesn't look like the bed that Ivana and Trump would have been sleeping in in the 80s (not sure what the date of this pic is?)

Back in November he was quoted as saying, "Darkness is good." I didn't realize he meant it literally.

They would have called an electrician or got the white house staff to fix the lights by now. If it's true, then Congress needs to remove these idiots from office immediately and Paul Ryan will take over.

15. I can just see him now. A sad, pathetic little man padding around the WH

in his slippers, jammies, and robe, looking at pictures of men who had more greatness in their little fingernails than SCROTUS will ever have in his entire, bloated body.

It really must suck to be him. Seriously. He's a tormented, pathetic, insecure little man who is so far out of his depth that he doesn't realize how far out of his depth he really is. Or maybe he does, hence the utterly incompetent, horrendous job he's done so far.
