Trump lost

That’s a ****ing mountain of joy right there

Alright I guess

I pretty much knew he was going to lose so maybe that's what dulled the effect

I’m gonna be even happier when Joe’s actually sworn in and Trump’s sorry ass is gone.

I’m not going to cheat myself out of that moment with cynicism.

One of the things I'm interested to see is how the parties will pivot from this.

The Democratic Party hasn't controlled the White House since the Bernie revolution, and in 2018, Bernie was a dominant figure. Assuming the Progressive Left doesn't hemorrhage Congressional members, it might make for a logical shift in how foreign intervention is carried out.

Also, I think there's going to be a lot of Congress taking back power, and a wind-down of Executive power creep. 70-something days until the transfer. We'll see.

Stupidity obviously. The idea of the legislature taking back power when they're already comfortable letting the judiciary handle their lawmaking responsibility so they can scare people into voting for them over judicial appointments is pretty dumb.

Well, there was a take-back of power after Watergate. There's a lot of things Trump did because it wasn't illegal that we all thought it was an accepted norm. The pardons, the kids serving as whatever job they had. Things like that.

Wall Street donated to Obama and he still passed regulation against them. I know you want Glorius Revolution, but a few of us out here have something to lose. So we're not going to vote for it.

I was listening to something earlier that said the muslim ban, and the detention centers were going out immediately. I thought there was something else but I don't recall.
