Joe Biden has won this election so many times now, he's now the 68th president of the United States.

Republican service announcement:

Hey gullible MAGA losers, keep sending your money to "Stop the Steal" and "Trump 2024" so I can divert it to prop up my failing hotels and golf resorts.

[Larry]

See what I mean? It takes a complete moron to believe Biden won. There's a moron right above me proving it.

[Renauda]

Behold, a tantrum of bigly Trumpian proportions!

Not to worry, the USA's 19 Brumaire will come. You will rejoice and wallow in the ensuing reactionary rapture!
Patience!

[Horace]

Yeah, patience for a great prediction that we'll all be dead long before is proven wrong. Congratulations on your genius prediciton that will never be testable within the lifetimes of anybody listening to it. It's a great way to pronounce one's genius without ever proving it.

[Renauda]

@Horace

Your job is to rejoice.

[Horace]

and your job is to pretend to be a genius.

[Renauda]

You and the other reactionaries will savour the neo-Bonapartism around the corner.

[Horace]

Around the corner, define it. Within our lifetimes? At what point is a guy like you willing to admit to being wrong? My prediction: never.

[Renauda]

I am hoping I will be wrong.

I was dead wrong when I predicted Trump would win the election. He lost.

[Horace]

You have presented your prediction of the future of America with much more conviction and veritas than some prediction of a Trump win, which everybody knew was a gamble.

Did @Larry and @Jolly know it was a gamble?

[Renauda]

I didn't think the power of presidential incumbency was that much of a gamble. Apparently Trump didn't either. In fact I even suspect he truly believes he won. His base certainly thinks so.

I see the The trump won by a landslide people in the exact same light. People who actually believe this stuff. It’s fascinating.

Mom and Dad have two young sons. One is an optimist, one an incurable pessimist. Their outlooks constantly get them in trouble.

Their parents decided to fix this. One Christmas they gave a big box of wonderful toys to the pessimist, and to the optimist they gave a big box of shit.

The pessimist unwrapped all his toys and cried and kicked them away saying they were all garbage. The optimist was found head down, shoveling in his box of shit. He pops up and exclaims, "There must be a pony in here someplace!"

I assume so. Personally, I had far less than 100% conviction that Trump would win.

It's well within normal psychological parameters of hyper-competitive people to not countenance failure on any intellectual level.

The SCOTUS just kicked the POTUS in the SCROTUS

I find it really sad how Trump leaves the office by showing his worst side.

I've always had mixed feelings about him, but he also made a few decent policy decisions during those four years.

But now it's just a complete WTF. Maybe it's the "...then I'll take everything else down with me" bunker psychology displayed in the "Downfall" movie.
