The Swamp

We made it. As a board and a country.

Figure it’s time for a new thread on where things go now. It’s a good day.

That must have felt good.

Jinxiest guy in the Swamp starts this thread 4 hours early. I'm sure it's fine.

I called it for Biden early morning day after Election Day. We got this . The Cheeto is about to get on the helicopter of shame so I think we are good to start looking ahead now.

So glad my retirement certificate won't have Donald Fucking Trump's name on it.

Also loving conservative friends act like they are sudden victims since their leader is no longer the president and they have to deal with the fact they lost. Fuck 'em, I say. Crybaby shitheel white people.

But muh unity! Libs, you so mad! Why are you tearing the country apart!?!?

Like dealing with the stereotype of that special flavor of toxic human. It's gorgeous. I hope every fucking psychotic thing they think up comes true.

Of course they played Fortunate Son. Fucking idiots.

just seeing the title of this thread was enough to release just a little anxiety.

i had some especially fucked-up dreams last night; i'm "working" here with CNN on in the corner - i'll be fine tonight if today just ends up being...boring.

What the actual fuck is it with Trump and the song Gloria?

Happy Happy Happy Day.

I guarantee you its because he totally almost fucked Laura Branigan in 1993.

The St Louis Blues had that as a rally song for their Stanley Cup run, I think.

I'm literally laughing out loud right now.

Get fucked, Diaper Don.

YMCA?

Wut.

With no political commentary, just the usual bored love of trivia, here's a partial list of people that once got more votes in a presidential primary or delegates at a convention than Joe Biden:

Gary Hart
Jesse Jackson
John Glenn
Richard H. Stallings
Bill Richardson
Dennis Kucinich
Pete Buttigieg
Amy Klobuchar
Tulsi Gabbard

I'm happy for him and I hope this thread is actually about him after a while.

With his final moments as President, he debases the office a final little bit.

Correct response:

I felt good about this until I saw the news about JFK Jr. this morning

I'd love to see an atheist president. I couldn't care less about what church service the Bidens are going to.

We just had one.

Since I’m all about baseball memories from 1977 ...

What a heel turn that would be.

"My friends, I will be taking all of my orders from Pope Francis, the true and rightful leader of the American people now!"

I suspect a lot of things would go pretty well?

Better treatment of immigrants and the poor, elimination of the death penalty, maybe better environmental protection. There are worse scenarios.

(Then again we don’t need to worry as much about abortion rights.)

No property tax

CNN is reporting the Supreme Court is being evacuated due to a bomb threat.. This is located right across from where Biden will be sworn in..

Trump's Terrorist are at it already

I'm literally watching CNN and haven't seen that. Is my feed that far behind?

Not evacuated...

It was on the web..

Got you.

She's normally a average looking person, but in a mask, Amy Coney Barret looks like Immortan Joe from Fury Road.

Watching all these old pols fist bump each other is the content I didn't know I needed.

It’s really good to know that we got adults in charge again.

I should have said Immortan Joe without the compassion and humanity.

Sad that the nba and baseball have gone away from the organ and decent announcers. Number 26, Wade Boggs. Third base. Boggs.

Well actually...

She did a damn good version at the (IIRC) Broncos-Panthers SB. Plus she did the part I prefer, when you go up and not down at the “that our flag was still there” part.
