I don't think I will ever not be amazed at the extent to which we

just normalize Trump's behavior no matter what he does. I mean we just assume he won't concede, we just assume he won't invite Biden to the White House or cooperate in regards to a transition. We wouldn't do this with teenagers. We don't say, of course they won't do homework or of course they will cheat on tests or of course they will beat the crap out of each other. I mean WTF. He lost. I am old enough to remember Carter losing, and there weren't news stories about him refusing to concede or him not cooperating with the transition. I also remember Bush losing, and he didn't do that either. It also should be noted that Gore also cooperated. Why is this man baby behavior just assumed to be what is going to happen without any real comment?

They've been talking about it quite frequently for the past few days.

Brian Williams, in particular, has been bringing it up very often.

Back in 2016

He was obviously a con man, a liar, a grifter, a cheat, a cruel narcissist, and incompetent.

But they told us we should be excited to see an empty podium in anticipation of pearls of wisdom he might soon bring.

The consequences were obvious and that's exactly what we got as a result.

4. No surprise here. For four years, he's made a mockery of laws, regulations, traditions....

and standards long carved in civil stone in America.

What a relief when we see our government regain a large degree of normalcy.......

Plus, I won't have to see his ugly ass on every one of my news sites every single day!
