Comrades,
Of course it was pleasing
to see the culmination and confirmation of the Miracle
of Democracy in its most idiosyncratic form with the meeting of
the Electoral College casting their votes as per protocol in an
orderly fashion with zero hanky-panky, a complete absence of
brou-ha-ha, no low-down dirty dealing, and not even any "faithless
electors" (there were seven of those the last time they met).
Joseph R. Biden Jr becomes the 46th President of the US of A, and
that's that. But what on earth is the 45th POTUS up to now that
he's an
official loser and lame duck? Whatever happened to his glib
promise of a few weeks back that he would "respect" the vote of the
Electoral College? Does it matter anymore?
Poor Donny - he's depressed
and doesn't show up to work, by all reports. He's
ceased going to the Oval Office, does not attend any meetings, and
won't sign anything...instead he's welded by superglue to his
Twitter phone for
the now time-honoured, traditional ALL CAPS rants while manically
smashing the
buttons on a succession of the cable TV remote control channel
changers. So where exactly
is he? The President is missing. You know that there is something
very seriously wrong when the perfect made-for-TV moment comes
along and the DJ! is nowhere to be seen. Of course, he should have
been the Master of Ceremonies when the first person in the USA got
the jab with new Covid19 vaccine. If ever there was a good news
success story to go out on, this would have had to be it. He could
have trumpeted that without the massive Govt. subsidies he granted
through Operation Warp Speed, Big Pharma would never have been
able to come up with the world saving prophylactic. But no, he's
just very peeky that they FAILED to come up with a vaccine BEFORE
the election so he could have ridden home on its coat tails (and
that would have been a genuine possibility). But, heck, he's never
taken the disease seriously, so why start now? The Donald, given his
previous form, will now sink further and further into the White
House woodwork
after his vile Attorney General quit on him (thereby denying the
President valuable last minute advice on how and who to pardon),
and he lost
Congress (it's again worth pointing out that the President cannot
spend a single penny of Federal money without Congressional
approval) after that exceptionally ugly toadying Senate Majority
Leader Mitch
McConnell decided at long last to cast the Trumpotus adrift,
finally congratulating Uncle Joe on his seven million vote
victory. The Donald is all at sea. He doesn't have a friend in
Washington, let alone a dog.
Speaking of Presidents who aren't interested in the job, all
kudos must go to Sophie Germain who has assiduously maintained the
Trump Golf Count website over the past four years, meticulously
keeping tabs on when and where the Donald has been to play golf
(most weekends), even down to the number of hours and minutes
spent at the club, according to the records of the Secret Service
who have to account for the whereabouts of the POTUS for every
second of every day. What a champion effort, Soph. Never mind that the Donald seems to have
shaken off his security detail and gone into hiding, he's probably
played more golf in office than all the other 44 US presidents
combined. The most slack-arse Leader of the Free World in the
history of mankind, but that's hardly news, or even close to the worst of it...
