David Waldman brings us our KITM on the day we’ve all been waiting for: Day One of Donald Trump in exile.
Donald Trump did throw together a victory speech for last night. If you didn’t catch it, there will be a lot more to come. Newt Gingrich demands arrests. Seb Gorka demands storm troopers. Steve Bannon moves toward Games of Thrones solutions (Twitter puts his head on a pike.) Brooks Brothers rioters — except this time heavily armed — head into battleground states. Your puny logic, norms, and laws will be no match for them.
The Secret Service ramps up their protection around Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, Rick Santorum looked nauseous last night on CNN. Just spit it out Santorum! Chew some gum, you’ll feel better! Rick promised on the air that Republicans wouldn’t try anything crazy... like appointing electors to steal the election. Rick speaks for all Republicans, even the lying ones, so that’s that.
It’s time for Donald Trump to call in all of those favors from his friends and… Oh wait, Donald Trump doesn’t do favors, and has no friends. Oh well.
The Democrats have won, and as per tradition, their accusations and finger-pointing can now commence. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will not be made a scapegoat, and instead demands credit. That’s no way to get ahead!
As long as fear, hatred, greed and stupidity exist, Republicans will find voters, and that includes those in the Latiñe, né Latino, community. Democrats need to start paying more attention, however.
