Should I pretend that this post isn't schadenfreude???
Nah....the title was full disclosure....
1. "The year ends amid the most astonishing display of sour grapes, mass embarrassment, and unspontaneous amnesia in living memory of United States presidential elections. The national press, sleepwalking toward the inauguration they did everything possible to prevent, having denied at every stage, including late on election night, could occur, have clangorously announced each new desperate plan to overturn the election result.
2. The recount, begun in Wisconsin by the Green candidate, Jill Stein, but financed by the Clinton Democrats, spent $5 million to increase Trump’s plurality in the state by 131 votes.
...Pennsylvania, a federal judge declined to act on the opposition claim that the state’s election, in which 6 million votes were cast, had been influenced by computer hacking.
... Michigan, the only irregularities that were turned up were in African-American districts of Detroit, where the vote exceeded the number of registered voters ....
3. ....the cry arose that the chosen members of the Electoral College, though morally pledged to cast their votes for the candidates whom they were elected to support, could be induced to shift their votes because of the alleged unsuitability of Mr. Trump. The Democrats put out some television advertisements urging conscientious citizenship on the 306 Trump-pledged electors who were chosen on Election Day. It was another exercise of large amounts of money chasing very few potential votes, and the result on Monday flaked four Clinton electors off and only two Trump electors...
4. Never in history has there been such a foolish commotion about so improbable an effort to change an election result. It was all nonsense, and of a piece with the other symptoms of common or garden denial that have afflicted the country and its press these last six weeks."

What could be appropriate as the coda to the reign of the most incompetent of all modern Presidents?
