It’s about 36 hours after the best news in a very long time….. Trump defeated and defeated BIGLY. That orange dupek making the US #1 in COVID deaths, crashing the economy right up there with the Great Depression, making the US a laughingstock globally, butt kissing dictators and taking all their foreign money, a mass murderer/war crimes between the virus and the deaths from the immigrants at the border that have been in cages and detained in other facilities with minimal oversight and care, the grifting and stealing and profiting from its corrupt businesses while in office, and breaking more laws than can be enumerated here.
After five days of stress, and holding of many breaths, in cities and towns all over this country HUGE parties, celebrations, dancing in the streets, many signs of YOU’RE FIRED, EVICTION NOTICE, fireworks…… partying like it was New Year’s Eve or 1999. And it was a gorgeous day across much of the country with bright, sunny skies and warm temperatures. People will remember where they were when they heard the news.
Now, will all our problems be solved any time soon? No. There are still many, many, many deep divisions combined with the mass destruction poopookins and its party has done over the past four years. And the next 75 days could be the most dangerous of all with poopookins a lame, orange duck with nothing but time on its hands and still all the power of the office and the party in power sitting back watching this country burn while the orange Nero fiddles out of tune.
2021 cannot come fast enough for so many reasons. This is a European blog but for today….. I want to focus on Boston and history. Boston (Massachusetts) being one of the original 13 colonies and one of the earliest settlements in the early 1600’s. I want to include Plymouth that was supposed to celebrate 400 years since the first settlers landed (and where my family tree began in this country). Maine was supposed to celebrate its 200th birthday this year. But with these milestones in mind – a tiny bit of US history.
