General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

January 19, 2021 Part II

 “In less than 24 hours, Joe Biden will be President.

Kamala Harris will be Vice President.
And Donald Trump will be a disgraced ex-President, failed businessman, and a Twitter-less private citizen.
We are in the final hours of the worst presidency of our lifetimes, and one of the most destructive in our country’s history.
For the first time in four years, the sitting president won’t be a national security landmine, a walking emoluments clause violation, or a nepotist pimp dealing spoils and favors to loyalists and the highest bidders.
We will soon have a president who listens to scientists instead of conspiracy theorists, experts instead of provocateurs, and trusted legal minds instead of pillow salesmen.
Our new president will consider the human toll of the raging pandemic before his political posturing.
Our new president will defend the values of liberal democracy, instead of abandoning our allies and cozying up to autocrats and oppressors.
Our new president will work for all Americans—not just himself and the priveleged few.
Reaching this day was years in the making. November’s election did not occur in a vacuum.
It took all of you Patriots in this coalition to fight for democracy and deliver Joe Biden’s victory.
It took millions of Americans standing up for what is right versus what is so clearly wrong.
This is our time.
And this is our new president.
Thank you, One and All, for helping us reach this moment.”

I've sent The Lincoln Project a few bucks. I know they are republicans, but the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

For the first time in 4 terrible years, I woke up this morning with a glimmer of hope for our nation. Pulling all together, I'm convinced we can yank us back form the precipice Trumpism took us to and set us back on the path towards a better, more fair and just, prosperous society. If not, there's always alcohol, I guess. :)

"A disgraced president regales a few hundred family, staff and smattering of loyalists with a disjointed and dishonest tribute to himself as he departs the capital he tore apart." --David Axelrod

The Great Orange Scourge left the White House, and his last speech before boarding A.F. One was all about him. He did not mention Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris by name. A spiteful, nasty, lying, sore loser to the end.

Donald John Trump's name will live in infamy!

The Great Orange Scourge may be gone for now but his revolting stench shall remain.

Being the delusional narcissist that he is tRump certainly plans on making as much trouble as as he possibly can for President Biden. And he has millions of deranged cultists behind him.

A recipe for further strife with possibly disasterous consequences.
