The Inauguration Heard Round The World

The Presidency Survives Turmp, Will America?

Joseph R. Biden, Jr. sworn in as 46th president

I will try and keep this brief. Finally, against all odds, and against all odd, Joe Biden has been successfully sworn in today. My only complaint is that the oath of office, needs to be modified to reflect the new reality in America. It must say, “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, particularly Donald Turmp.” Once Turmp no longer walks among us, we can think about changing it back, but it might be best to simply leave it in place as a reminder.

Apologies for not being ready to let go and walk away, but really. I thought I would be so glad to be rid of this terrible affliction – one that makes the current virus pandemic pale by comparison – that thoughts of the Orange Gas Cloud would quickly dissipate, leaving me at least a bit of peace. But no, I find myself still fuming, like a wild fire beaten down to ash and coals, still needing to be watched less it burst back into deadly flame. After all, a virus can be vicious and brutal, taking many lives and disrupting many more, but Turmp ripped at our souls and the soul of our nation. A virus has no malice, no brain. Trump, though bereft of brain, more than makes up for the lack with a massive, immeasurable dose of malice.

The miserable shit-weasel/IMPEACHED-IMPEACHED-ex-Fake president held a pathetic campaign rally after completing his criminal pardon spree and shortly before the planet-wide sigh of relief at the swearing in of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States. A surprise to no one, as Turmp remained steadfast in his dishonest, delusion and danger to democracy. Refusing to mention Biden’s name, Turmp spewed his usual mile-long-string-of-lies, ignorance and drivel, ending with what amounts to a threat to the country he just spent four years trying to destroy for his benefactor Vladimir Putin. Before shuffling off-stage to the ironic tones of the Village People’s YMCA, Turmp warned, “See you soon.”

Yes, Turmp’s second-in-command Mike Pence opted to be present for the ultimately – no thanks to either Pence or Turmp’s yeoman efforts to the contrary – peaceful transfer of power. Make no mistake, this was nothing other than political calculus designed to keep his comatose hopes to continue a life in shitty politics alive. I wish him hell.

I. Mangrey relieved.
