Joe Biden will take his place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most crazy time in american politics I&#8217;ve seen.  Trump has not conceded, and is now pressuring the senate to not ratify the results.  I&#8217;ll have to make sure and update about this tomorrow.   Maybe in a few hundred years I can make some history blog or something.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proud Boys are now marching on Washington.   Small amount so far.  Doesn&#8217;t look like more than 50 people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"592\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image.png 592w, https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They are going all out with this <em>Save America March<\/em>.  I think most people are convinced that the president is insane, and really doesn&#8217;t believe he lost the election, or(my opinion) he is doing this for the millions of dollars in donations he is bringing in to &#8220;fight election fraud&#8221;.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"581\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-1.png 581w, https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-1-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, not sure when I last mentioned it, but there is still this whole pandemic going on with COVID-19.  One of the main things Trumps supports seem to believe is that it&#8217;s a hoax.  As you can see in the above photo, they are packed in like sardines.  And in the below photo, the speaker encourages attendees to hug each other and say &#8220;super spreader event&#8221; or something.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"534\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-2.png 534w, https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-2-300x288.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, with my boredom with reality the past few decades, things are starting to look up.  If the country devolves into chaos, it will be really interesting.  I said the same thing when trump was elected, &#8220;news is going to get real good for a bit.&#8221;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"582\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-3.png 582w, https:\/\/thecweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image-3-300x272.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new year is here, and Trump was voted out of office.
