Trump's about to have a new experience

"Lame Duck President"
Nothing is more weak than a president that will be gone in a couple months and in jail in 6 months (looking at you Individual-1)
Trump is about to find he has fewer and fewer friends in the house and senate and very little sway over them anymore.

Its going to be a bad day...that never ends.

I'd rather spend my remaining years in a medium security federal penitentiary than face NYC and even a couple yrs on Rikers Island.

but Biden has a mandate (51% of population) and major electoral college win (300+) and he flipped 5 red states blue.
Plus the reality is that by the end of January the Republicans in the Senate could be the minority party again.
As McTurtle is often quoted as saying "elections have consequences".

If there had been a "blue tsunami," they would have scattered, with each thrice denying before the cock crows that they ever knew him. But this election was close enough that they realize Trumpism is still in full control of the Republican Party. Not sticking with their "once and future king" (as I'm sure the MAGAts consider him) will be seen as treason by any of these "leaders"...and they know that, before they can stand for re-election, they must avoid any primary challenges from irate True Believers who will consider them to have "betrayed Trump."

6. He is so much of a jerk that he has it coming too.

I like seeing the smirk wiped off his face. I've never gotten justice for crap that happened to me. So, I'm not one of the nice gays or one of the nice people. It is cathartic to me to see the smirk wiped off his face. He will never see a day in prison for raping children. So, seeing that smirk gone will have to do.

and sulking. And holding rallies for jollies. He has no legislative agenda other than to aim for herd immunity, so he doesn’t need to worry about not getting his priorities done.

13. "There has to be retribution." "That's the way it has to be." Trump said that about the kid

he had assassinated. He only killed one guy, probably in self defense. So what do Trump and his collaborators have coming to them with all the deaths they are responsible for?
