Good Riddance

In less than 24 hours, Joe Biden will be President.

Kamala Harris will be Vice President.

 

And Donald Trump will be a disgraced ex-President, failed businessman, and a Twitter-less private citizen.

 

We are in the final hours of the worst presidency of our lifetimes, and one of the most destructive in our country's history.

 

For the first time in four years, the sitting president won't be a national security landmine, a walking emoluments clause violation, or a nepotist pimp dealing spoils and favors to loyalists and the highest bidders.

 

We will soon have a president who listens to scientists instead of conspiracy theorists, experts instead of provocateurs, and trusted legal minds instead of pillow salesmen.

 

Our new president will consider the human toll of the raging pandemic before his political posturing.

 

Our new president will defend the values of liberal democracy, instead of abandoning our allies and cozying up to autocrats and oppressors.

 

Our new president will work for all Americans—not just himself and the privileged few.
