And The Beat Goes On.

    It is Saturday, November 7th, 2020, and the Democratic party is giddy with excitement.  The media has projected Joseph Biden will replace Donald Trump as President based on the vote projections for the State of Pennsylvania.  If the vote is upheld it is an interesting choice for a state so heavily committed to the fossil fuel industry, but then when does Presidential voting ever really make sense.  For example, four years ago there was absolutely no way Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton, yet despite all the protestations of her and her supporters he did.
    So, what happens next?
    As we are seeing – political rallies are no longer “super-spreader” events as the people mass in the BLM approved massing zones of the major cities to celebrate the downfall of “Orangeman Bad.”  But is the king truly dead?  We can expect to see at least a month of legal squabbling over “every vote” versus “every legal vote.”  
    I assume based on the software “glitch” found in dominion software at least some minor investigations may be made, but if the ruling parties in those affected states have their say it will be quickly asserted that we should ignore the man behind the curtain and the media will assure us there is nothing wrong with the software since the high tech companies are all neutral in their political beliefs.
    To the benefit of the Democratic Party, the RNC and President Trump eliminated any claim they might make about being fiscally responsible.  Biden has pointed out he will increase taxes -- so those people who complained about not getting as big a refund as they were used to under Obama will now have the opportunity again (maybe).  They say they are going to tax the rich, but somehow it never seems to work that way… Maybe it’s because the rich donate all those campaign dollars?
    On a bright note, all the mansions of southern California will be okay since none of their millionaire stars will have to move to Canada.  “We are the world” telethons will return, and the ability of the rich to fly wherever they want with the simple purchase of “Carbon Credits” will become unquestioned as the rest of us transition to a green new deal.
    The questions that will remain unanswered are:
    Will the Democrats be as partisan and vengeful as they have been these last four years?  If we look back to how they reacted in 2009 I think we can assume they will.  Sure, there will be the public displays of serving the “entire nation,” but certainly not the deplorable's or those who didn’t vote for the progressive movement.  Their social influencer type people have already started making up their enemies list of who to remove from the public space.
    Will the government continue to be stalemated by the separate control of the House and Senate?  I assume we won’t know the answer to that until Georgia is sorted out.
    Will the press remain as hostile and questioning as they have been these past four years?  I think this is the simplest of questions to answer, and we should know the answer with certainty by inauguration day.
    They will return to their sleepy little role of broadcasting the state media approved message.  Jim Acosta will be elevated to the head of the White House Press Corp and his tweets will cause many to develop diabetes as they sing the praise of President Harris.
    As a friend pointed out the hardest question is, what will late night talk show hosts (formerly known as comedians) find to make fun of.  For the life of me I can’t imagine what they will do for their monologues except dig up the material they used from 2009-2016 to mock the Republicans and make sure they comply with the new standards of wokeness. Those changes should keep the writers busy as those standards seem to change weekly.
    One final question, which may go unanswered for the next four years.     Where is Hunter Biden?
