And yet again, Trump wins

[nwhiker]

DC has said they're closing the National Mall for the Inauguration.

Yes I understand that it's safer but OMG, WTF? That man has taken away the only event of this presidential cycle that could still have been enjoyed by people, this time not because of his willful craven malicious stupidity about Covid, but because of fomenting insurrection has the to a concern about a melée on the mall, I expect.

I am so angry at this.

Biden -and Harris- missed the pomp and fun of a big convention. They missed the election or result night parties for a different kind of event. What kind of balls, if any, are planned, so we can see what gorgeous outfit Dr Biden might wear and the VP :) too. All that isn't happening because of covid.

But the one event that still could have happened, the open air inauguration with a masked crowd... has not been cancelled.

I am fucking enraged.

And Trump is probably gloating that he'll have had a bigger crowd than Biden.

I've been thinking about that, too. About how it might not be such a "big deal" for the Bidens, because they were able to experience it in the Veep roles, but how Harris is getting a truly raw deal. It figures that once we finally get to see a woman on that stage, the stage is effectively walled off. <>

(that should've ended with brackets around the words "insert steam-from-my-ears emoji" but the casual HTML parser ate it :^)

LOL. Yeah, I hate how it does that. A perfectly good quip eaten by the parser.

And yes, everything in your first comment.
