To many commenters here, and they will soon identify themselves. Don’t miss the current president too much, you’ll still need him, so you blame him for all of the upcoming failures of his successor. The new old rich white guy.
The GULLibles will not allow a peaceful new year. The Fat Orange Clown has told them to fight on so they have not yet accepted that their American Fascism has been rejected.
They will not let us forget the worst President in US history…and we should not to avoid a repetition.

Ok, So this is the bad side of Trump, according to Marc A. Thiessen…
~
10. He pardoned war criminals. Trump showed a flagrant disregard of the rule of law by pardoning Blackwater contractors who massacred unarmed Iraqi civilians, including innocent women and children.
9. He vetoed the bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act. Trump vetoed $741 billion in military spending and a 3 percent pay raise for our troops over an unrelated issue, and put Republicans who voted for it in the difficult position of having to choose whether to flip-flop or override his veto.
8. He ordered the drawdown of nearly all U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump was apparently talked out of a complete withdrawal, but reducing to 2,500 troops in each country makes no strategic sense. Despite an ongoing terrorist threat, we will have fewer troops in Afghanistan or Iraq than we do in Spain.
7. He put millions in limbo by threatening to veto coronavirus relief.
6. He failed to ban travel from Europe in January.
5. His jarring fights with reporters during coronavirus briefings alienated rather than united us.
4. His reluctance to embrace masks cost lives.
3. He is failing to distribute more than half the available doses of vaccine.
2. He lost a winnable election and then refused to accept the results — or his own responsibility for losing.
1. He discussed imposing martial law at an Oval Office meeting.
The virus infecting thousands of Americans a day is also attacking the country’s social fabric. The coronavirus has exposed a weakness in many rural communities, where divisive pandemic politics are alienating some of their most critical residents — health care workers.
A wave of departing medical professionals would leave gaping holes in the rural health care system, and small-town economies, triggering a death spiral in some of these areas that may be hard to stop.

COVID-19 cases in the county started to climb. Meanwhile, other small Kansas towns flared into some of the pandemic’s hottest hot spots.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Darnauer says. “Because we say, this is what we value. And then when we actually had the chance to walk it out, we did it really poorly.”
The pushback was too much. Darnauer resigned her position as Rice County medical director in July. Some friends reached out to support her, and her bonds with other local health care professionals strengthened, but she felt disrespected and betrayed by the ascendant anti-mask portion of the community.
Darnauer says the pandemic has exposed a rift that won’t be forgotten.
“Hard things should bring us together,” Darnauer says. “And instead, this hard thing has driven a wedge between us.”
That wedge is splitting off health care workers from communities that desperately need them.
More than a quarter of all the public health administrators in Kansas quit, retired or got fired this year, according to Vicki Collie-Akers, an associate professor of population health at the University of Kansas.
Some of them got death threats. Some had to hire armed guards.
Have we learned our lesson? We don’t have to repeat this do we? Once again from the top:
We are all connected, what you do for one effects all. What happen in a wet market in Wuhan, China can bring Peoria, IL to a halt.
Those to whom much is given, much is expected. The goal of life is to lift the most people up, no to accumulate the most toys.
The world operates by a set of rules, these are known, they are not optional, they go by many names, Science is one of them. Violating these rules usually results in receiving a Darwin Award.

On that, we agree.
But for me, it won’t end until vaccinations and herd immunity.
Otherwise, 01-Jan-21 is just another day.
(I am looking forward to 20-Jan-21, though. Hopefully, that will be the beginning of the end of the Trump virus response)

Don’t look so sad,
It’s not so bad you know.
It’s just another night,
That’s all it is, it’s not the first,
It’s not the worst you know,
We’ve come through all the rest,
We’ll get through this.
We’ve made mistakes,
But we’ve made good friends too.
Remember all the nights we spent with them?
And all our plans,Who says they can’t come true?
Tonight’s another chance to start again.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Another night like all the rest.
It’s just another New Year’s Eve,
Let’s make it the best

It ain’t the year that needs to end quickly, it’s the TERM!
20 days. Enough time for another 60,000 American covid deaths at the current rate.
Trump Disciples celebrate these steps to herd mentality.
