I have always felt that there is no point in dwelling in the past, no point in holding grudges, and no point in bemoaning what cannot be changed. I just take stock of things, and do the best I can to deal with it. Including laughing...
So, let's count our blessings:
1. We won the popular vote, not by much, but it is still a small comfort. I believe we are the only so called democracy in the world where someone can win the popular vote and lose the presidency. The rest of the world think we are nuts, and rightly so.
2. Trump actually had a point: the system IS rigged. It was rigged from the start, by our "canonized" Founding Father, a bunch of rich slave owning elitists who wanted democracy on their own terms, and made sure they built in a way to stay in control. After all, the main reason for kicking out the Brits was to avoid paying them taxes, and in order to have a say in the new American Democracy, one had to be a Rich Male Landowner. Doesn't seem so very Democratic to me...
3. There will be a new cabinet position opening: "Wig Secretary", and the "Five Orders of Periwigs" are going to be restored:
3. We could have Ted Cruz going to the White House instead...
4. The Trumps will need permission to redecorate the Diplomatic Reception Room, rip the antique wallpaper, pawn the furniture, replace Georges Washington's Portrait
and install his gold leafed throne and panelling:
The carpet of course will have to go to make room for the gilded floor.
5. The first lady is obviously not going to be baking cookies either, and seems well qualified for the position of Undercover Special Agent 001:
