He owes it to them to usher in a period of closure.

when they looked at the children in cages who were separated from their parents? No disrespect, but I don’t see how people can be so misguided given what kind of person Trump is.

How did she feel in 2016 when we were all so devastated? I had wanted Hillary to be president since 2008 and it was crushing. I don't mind giving sympathy where it's due, but it needs to be reciprocal.

Stay on it and just contrast the good thing Joe does against the lout who just got kicked out of the WH.

This is not about politics, its about morality and the GOP is morally bankrupt. My mom and sister will be heartbroken and I do not give a shit. If you are ok with kids in cages and children lost without parents, then we have nothing left to talk about.

Thanks for posting. I agree with him and it's depressing. I fear the contrition he talks about is not going to occur. The necessary morality just isn't there. The Presidency has changed but the people haven't, and they won't. Not in this lifetime. Like he said, this election wasn't about politics, it was about morality.

15. Too Fucking Bad!!!

I’m sick of seeing those “Make Liberals Cry” Trump 2020 hats and t-shirts. Fuck them all. They can wallow in their misery. I hope it truly sucks for them, and if this is most disappointed your mom ever is, she is doing pretty well.

A local cigar store I used to patronize held a “deplorables” party 4 years ago to celebrate the election of Trump. I would not go back into the place after that. I went in this morning, laid about $400 worth of cigars on counter, whipped out my AMEX card, and then asked the shop when he would be scheduling an event to celebrate the Biden Election. The owner looked at me with a puzzled expression and I reminded him about the party he held 4 years ago to celebrate the election of Trump. He got a little flustered and stood there with a scowl on his face. I put my card back in my wallet, left the cigars on the counter, and walked out of the store.

I feel bad about breaking the common-sense rule about not handling cigars that I ultimately did not purchase in the face of the pandemic. But the pandemic ended on Election Day I’m told, so that probably won’t be an issue for the dumbfuck.

You have to be hella poorly informed with no ability to spot BS to still be on Trump's side.

Their feelings are based on lies, so yeah telling them to cram it where the sun don't shine is fair?

And that's why instead of what Trump did, saying "suck it" and stuff, we should support them. We are better than they were.
