Donald Trump is our Ex-President(whew)

[cranefly]

I've worked at several hi-tech companies in my career, and along the way there have been occasions where people were laid off.  Usually this was done respectfully, and the departing employee was given a week or two to get things in order before leaving.  But on occasion an employee or manager was promptly escorted from the building by guards.  I'm never certain it was ever done for good reason.  Maybe as a precaution.  More likely as a bit of theater by a boss wanting to hurt someone he didn't get along with.  I've seen it backfire, where the boss himself got escorted out by a higher up replacing him, because the boss hadn't considered that the woman manager he had escorted out might have a boyfriend in a higher position than his, who would return the favor.  [That was a glorious occasion, btw.]

All in all, I don't think I've seen a situation where the walkout was anything but theater.

But never have I felt it was absolutely necessary than in the present circumstance, in Washington D. C., with the Horror Clown.  The moment Biden was announced president-elect, the Horror Clown should have been escorted out within the hour.  To hell with this 80-odd day wait to have Biden sworn in.  You don't leave someone like the Horror Clown in office for another 80-odd days.  That's utter madness.

While I'm trusting that this election will stick, I think we better brace ourselves for a whole lot of tantrum damage beyond the pale.
