Well, folks, no matter how you feel about it, the Trump Era has officially come to an end.
Maybe you've been waiting a long time to hear those words, or maybe you're stitching a flag together out of old NASCAR t-shirts with a plan of forming an independent nation-state in your backyard.
We will be back in some form... have a good life.
These were among the final words Donald Trump said on the morning of January 20, about four hours prior to Joe Biden getting sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.
To quote former East Grand Rapids resident and ex-President Gerald Ford...
... our long national nightmare is over.
Well, depending on where you fall on the political spectrum, our long national nightmare is either soon to be over or just beginning.
(We suppose it's possible that you belong to 2021's most endangered species: the centrist. If so, could you hop on over to Twitter and calm some folks down? K, thanks.)
Well, it's taken us a long time to get here but believe it or not, we're in the final 48 hours of Donald Trump's presidency.
While we're sure the topic is taboo in the Oval Office, Joe Biden will be sworn into the highest office in the land at noon on Wednesday.
As you've very likely heard about by now, Donald Trump has been impeached.
Yes.
Farrah Abraham is exactly the sort of person who should probably just steer clear of politics entirely.
She takes pride in her ignorance and her tribal allegiances, and even though she almost certainly couldn't tell you how many branches are in the US government, she feels very, very strongly that her opinions about current events are objectively correct.
Donald Trump has made history, folks.
For someone obsessed with his reputation and his ego, however, it may not be the kind of history that he wanted to make.
These days, Donald Trump has about as many powerful allies as that German fella did when he tied the knot with his actress girlfriend in that bunker.
Former bootlickers like Michael Cohen and Anthony Scaramucci jumped ship long ago, and now the president has even managed to alienate Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell, who recently downgraded Trump's status from "useful idiot" to just plain idiot.
With five people dead, thousands put at risk, and millions more traumatized by the sight of American democracy coming under attack on live TV, there's no denying the devastating consequences of last week's attack on the Capitol Building.
It's tough to gauge the damage to our national psyche or what sort of repercussions we might experience in the years to come.
You may not believe this, but it's true:
Donald Trump is taking no responsibility.
On January 6, 2021, armed Trump supporters stormed the nation's capitol in an attempt to overturn the election results with deadly force.
Despite the deaths and the permanent stain upon our country's history, their attempt at a white nationalist revolution failed -- this time.
Even by his own admission, Donald Trump will be leaving the Oval Office on January 20.
The current President has said he will not attend the inauguration of the next President, Joe Biden -- but Trump has at least acknowledged that a "new administration" is on the way.
Nancy Pelosi came for Donald Trump on Sunday night.
Soon, meanwhile, it appear evident that she'll also come for Donald Trump's Presidency and his pride.
Donald Trump doesn't seem overly concerned with the fact that close to 400,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus.
Nor does it bother him all that much that five people were killed and a government building placed on lockdown because a slew of his supporters committed an act of treason last Wednesday.
Donald Trump is having a very, very bad week, and it is entirely his own doing.
He lost the election months ago. Those results were certified despite the armed white insurgents who stormed the Capitol Building with his encouragement.
Nancy Pelosi has upped the ante.
Two days after the stunning assault against Democracy and the U.S. Capitol, one of the women right at the center of the mayhem has issued both a challenge and a threat to President Donald Trump.
Michelle Obama has minced nary a single word.
The former First Lady shared a lengthy social media message on Thursday in response to the violent attempt by Donald Trump supporters to overthrow the government.
Just hours after armed insurgents raided Capitol Hill this week in an attempted coup, the Senate reconvened to certify the election results.
The coup attempt failed, this time. President-Elect Joe Biden's victory was certified by an overwhelming bipartisan vote. So, what now?
Donald Trump is in the final days of his Presidency.
Heck, the sociopath himself has even admitted as much at last.
FINALLY.
Backed into a legal corner, facing yet another rumored impeachment and/or the possibility of actually being thrown out of office via the 25th amendment, Donald Trump at last said these words on Thursday evening:
It took multipe acts of domestic terrorism.
And the certification by Congress that Joe Biden really will be sworn in as President on January 20, 2021.
We are 13 days away from Joe Biden getting sworn in as the next President of the United States.
Even Donald Trump himself has at last acknowledged this is going to happen on January 20.
