  End? He’ll just move to Fox News and/or keep tweeting. We haven’t seen the end of him.

  Yes, but he won’t have power and nobody will be obliged to listen. Big difference.

  I’ve heard a theory that he’ll announce his 2024 run during his concession speech, assuming he even does some sort of concession. It wouldn’t surprise me.

  Five bucks says Trump will be dead by 2024.

  It’s a relief more than a triumph, when you see that Biden won a bare 50.6% of the popular vote. Whether you can trust any poll these days is questionable, but it’s sobering to see the results of this one:

  Still, the relief is real.

  I dunno about dead, but five bucks says Twitter bans him in January, if not before.

  PatrickC, Biden’s share of the popular vote is expected to grow – they’re still counting votes. From MSNBC: “If Biden ends up with around 52% of the popular vote, which is what some are projecting, it would be the second best performance by a Democratic presidential nominee in the last half-century. … he’s also a challenger running against an incumbent president. With this in mind, it’s worth emphasizing that Biden’s popular-vote win is likely to be the largest for any challenger since Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s victory over then-incumbent Herbert Hoover in 1932.”

  My American neigbours have informed me they’ll be using the backyard for socially-distanced launching of soft wooden projectiles from bottles of highly-carbonated alcohol.

  I was on St-Denis today checking out the new REV and a very happy looking guy drove by in a black sedan with an American flag attached to the window, honking his horn as we went by.

  Now that he’s not President he loses immunity from prosecution and can be sued or federally charged so most likely he’ll be in court or prison

  I was fully expecting to be all “rah-rah” and “par-tay” when and if this day came, but now I’m just depressed. My bullshit-o-meter has been well and truly broken. It’s frankly heart-breaking to face the fact that 40+ percent of our neighbours to the south are still die-hard full-on fucktards. I’m still hoping that the American electorate will install a Democrat majority in both the House and Senate, but it’s getting harder and harder to hold my breath. With any luck, orange-tard will be either dead or behind bars come 2024.

  Fuck off and die, 2020. I’ve had my fill of you.

  With Max. Worth noting that 10 million more people voted for Trump this time than in 2016.
  I did laugh though at an email from an activist group that said “now we can go back to criticizing and protesting the US President in a normal, sane way.” Exactly.

  Remember: more Americans than you can possibly believe pay no attention to politics, the world, or anything outside your county.
  This SNL skit *is not a joke*
