Joe Biden beats Donald Trump, officially making Trump a one-term twice impeached, twice popular-vote losing president


Recommended Posts

So to keep the 'Trump as Orange Nero' metaphor alive, we would now have to see Biden, Harris, and a few more in the presidential order of succession step down early on in his term to approximate 'The Year of the Four Emperors', and then wind up with a pretty decent candidate to stand for Vespasian. (Maybe whoever gets appointed Secretary of State?)

 

Although I'm open to labeling Trump as Romulus Augustulus and interpreting our current era as the beginning of the Fall of Rome, with him being the last, fairly pathetic emperor.  But then that means the barbarians will rule in the West, and Biden isn't very barbarian-ish.  Although Xi definitely makes a good 'Emperor of the Eastern Empire', which essentially took off while the Western fell.

You could just ask Wade for an upvote instead of going on a fishing expedition :p

Also, credit where it's due: your skepticism this season was well warranted.

I'm surprised that Trump hasn't petitioned the Supreme Court right fucking now to put an injunction on any further vote counting.  

 

He should have done that at the stroke of midnight, when he was still winning WI and MI. 

Trump would lose right now if they stopped counting votes, guarantees all votes will be counted as its his only hope to claw his way back.  Best thing is the PA votes not counted all arrived on or before E-day so can't do shit about them.
