Substitute "Republican" for "rabid dog," and the statement still works......

Joe Biden is going to become president next month. That's a fact, Jack. I guess we are expected to praise these people. Nope. Not gonna do it.

And to those who still won't accept it because they are butthurt that their precious didn't win, I'll leave a quote from one of your own: facts don't care about your feelings.
