One day

One day until the cancer is excised from the White House.

One day until decency returns to government.

One day until the only time we need to think of the traitorous filth is when he and his family and henchmen are in the dock.

Four long years—five if you count the 2016 campaign—have been building up to this.

One day.

Historians will look back on this period in American history and marvel. Never before has the country given in to the paranoid style of politics so completely, so unreservedly. A part of this country's citizens finally had the long-awaited nervous breakdown, and took the rest of us with them.

One day.

The work of this and succeeding generations will be to make sure this never happens again. To make sure we never have to wait for "one day" to rid ourselves of an evil we allowed onto hallowed ground. 

It's one more day, and I won't feel at ease until after Joe and Kamala take their oaths of office, the festivities are over, and they're ensconced in a cordon of security.

But it's one more day, and many of those who came before us struggling for justice didn't get to that point of "just one more day". We have a chance to continue their work.

I'll have more to say tomorrow. But for today: One day.

This is your open thread.
