Forty-six
‘History says
Don’t hope on this side of the grave
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.’
Seamus Heaney
Joe Biden added, “This is our moment to make hope and history rhyme.” And I'm sure he'll make sure we do.
Joe Biden will be the most prepared president the United States has had.
He’s also defeated the incumbent President, something very difficult to do (especially one with a cult-like following).
He has currently 74,446,452 votes (and counting).
He’s probably going to get more than 51.3% of the National popular vote.
He has won 290 (as of today) and could win as many as 300 of the Electoral votes needed to win the presidency.
This was not a close election.
He IS the president-elect, but of course, given that IMPOTUS and his cronies have sworn to fight the title, he has not started the presidential transition, something that will affect us all.
But he WILL be the forty-sixth president of the United States and Hair Furor will be a footnote in the (disgraceful) history of this country.
And now I can breathe.
XOXO
P.S. Yes, I'd text young Joe Biden at 1:35 a.m.
There was a collective sigh of relief when the call came. But as you stated 💩is going to fight tooth abs nail to hold on. And he won’t concede. That’s admitting that he LOST. I loved that when you search for loser on Twitter he pops up first on the People tab 😂.
ReplyDeleteI know that they will pull some shenanigans when they exit the White House. Stuff will be missing and there will be some “land mines” that will pop up. But Joe’s administration will be prepared on day one. But the repugs will make it difficult to govern. That’s their MO.
XOXO 👨❤️💋👨
Oh, Cheeto and Co. are already fucking things up. Hair Furor keeps peddling the debunked 'fraud' in the states and prepping the ground for the December elections. It's all corruption all the time.
DeleteXOXO
A President who can speak in complete sentences, :)
ReplyDeleteNow, can you imagine that?
DeleteIt's incredible how low the bar has been set by IMPOTUS.
It's practically subterranean. How seventy million people voted for him says more about THEM.
XOXO
Young Joe is hot. So is old Joe. So grateful. I am so happy... and worried. Kamala is going to make a great president. She has such winning ways. I hope she wins over the world. And Joe? Joe is going to be a fine president. Will he get anything done? Or will MoscowMitch remain what stands between greatness and this nation? Hmmm. Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? I think he's very charismatic and intelligent.
DeleteAnd you know Bitch McConnell and Co. will obstruct every little step. It's their way.
They are already doing it.
XOXO
Loved the poem, Loved the speech. And now the work begins to move the country away from the angry right and back to the peaceful center.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very thoughtful campaign. What a contrast, no?
DeleteAnd it's going to take a minute to get away from the angry right. They love grievance. It's their daily bread.
XOXO
It was such a great day.
ReplyDeleteAmerica can change. But we still have work to do.
Oh, It's going to take a minute.
DeleteThe repugs are already feeding the MAGAts conspiracy theories and bullshit. They need to keep their base going.
XOXO
"The longed-for tidal wave of justice" -- what a wonderful image!
ReplyDeleteVery smart and very beautiful.
DeleteIt's the difference between a human being and a pile of sentient mustard.
XOXO
Once PA and NV had been called for Joe, it felt like a huge weight had lifted. We toasted with a bottle of Dom - yes, we've been saving that since Hillary lost. Now we must focus all out efforts on GA and help Abrams and the Lincoln Project as much as possible. Otherwise we shall be gridlocked for 4 years as the Repugs in the Senate decide to try to pull another Obama on the country. XOXO
ReplyDeleteHahaha way to go, Big.
DeleteWe drank coke and had some pizza. LOL
The repugs are already fanning the flames of conspiracy in order to keep Georgia. Their majority will ensure they don't let uncle Joe do squat.
XOXO
Well, the goddess help us...Now, 45 has taken to taking over the Pentagon. To what end? We don't know. But, I fear the pundits are being quite naive as to what this man is capable of.
DeleteWhere's the anxiety blanket???? xoxo
Ten more weeks and Hair Furor Agolf Twitler will be out of the White House and, hopefully, into the clutches of the SDNY. Of course he's being himself -- a petulant toddler and sore loser -- right up to the end.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that conflicts between bitter-ender Trumpanzees and those who want to move on from his "legacy" will keep the Republicans divided and ineffectual for a while. For now, we can still make things easier for Biden and Harris by helping Georgia wrest the Senate majority away from Moscow Mitch.
Hahaha
DeleteAgolf Twitler is just PERFECTION. And I can't wait until they get him for any of his myriad scams. There's got to BE something.
Oh, and they are already feeding the MAGAts bullshit and grievances. The Repugs are going to use Cheeto's base for their own benefit. And you just KNOW Bitch McConnell is planning on stonewalling everything. Ugh. I hope he dies.
XOXO
wonder what bottle was in that bag? uncle joe has the experience to LEAD, he is an ADULT!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is wine. LOL
DeleteAnd It's so refreshing to have an adult in the room. Of course, you know they'll help Cheeto throw tantrums these next three months, right?
XOXO
Just like a good, hot, round of sex, Im still basking and enjoying in the after glow....and spent.
ReplyDeleteAnyone got a cig?
Oh, Maddie
DeleteI don't smoke but I'm totally tempted. It was a very, very intense week. A very intense four years, that is.
It's not over, but it's better.
XOXO
it seems to me that having avoided another 4 years of T. is a precious result for the USA and the whole world.
ReplyDeleteYes, we seem to have dodged that bullet.
DeleteBut the consequences of having an idiot racist in the presidency for four years will last for a long time...
XOXO
