The more years you get behind you, the less happy you are to see one pass. But 2020? To hell with it: good riddance.
There really wasn’t anything good about 2020, the whole thing was a joke at our expense. Even though it feels like 10 years ago, and was a complete joke, the year started off with impeachment. Remember that? Democrats manufactured charges against President Donald Trump, knowing full-well there was nothing to it, just so they could stain his record.
Calling the bluff of Democrats, and in an extremely rare move, President Trump released the classified transcript of his call with the president of Ukraine and it showed nothing remotely close to problematic. Knowing that, Democrats in the media had to omit 540 words, stringing together two separate thoughts to concoct anything remotely close to what they labeled a quid pro quo to justify their actions.
As was obvious to anyone with half a brain, the charges went nowhere in the Senate. But the mark was made, a scare in history to be scratched at by liberals in the future. Mission accomplished.
While Democrats were pushing their choreographed impeachment plan, a pandemic was sweeping the globe. President Trump talked about it in the State of the Union Address; Nancy Pelosi ripped up the pages. President Trump stopped travel from China, then from Europe; Democrats encouraged people to attend parades and not take it seriously while calling the President a xenophobe.
There was literally nothing to be done to stop the spread of an airborne virus. Its place of origin lied to the world about every chance they had, but simply because they weren’t in the White House, Democrats engaged one of the most despicable rhetorical tools to attack the president – the undisprovable lie.
The undisprovable lie is used by the shameless to claim what they would have done and how it would’ve worked out better, usually perfectly, when there is no way it’s true but can’t be disproven because there’s literally no way to know. The rest of the year was marinated in this scam, swallowed willingly by pundits and journalists and repeated each and every time it was repackaged.
That was really the story of 2020 – nothing was beyond the pale; there were no lines left uncrossed. The more absurd the claim, the more it was repeated. The “senior official in the Trump administration” who penned an op-ed claiming to be part of an internal “resistance” in the administration was a mid-level flunky without access to do or know what he’d claimed. If someone said anything that made the President look bad, no matter how disconnected that “source” from being in a position of knowing. Report first, do no fact-checking later.
Meanwhile, a zombie won the Democratic Party’s nomination, then quickly went back underground. Not one single pile of human garbage with a press pass bothered to ask a tough question of Joe Biden or point out the fact that he couldn’t answer it if they’d ever tried.
That zombie “won” and now awaits reanimation daily in scripted appearances, and still couldn’t fumble his way through repeating the most basic of details about what he did yesterday. Most of 2020 was a cruel joke.
We went from “15 days to stop the spread” to “you may never be allowed to leave your house again,” and everyone calling the shots, ordering people’s lives to be ruined, never missed a dime in pay. We are now, through orders from governors, split into the rules and the ruled.
How this ends is no longer the question, it’s whether or not this ends. Dr. Fauci threw out his back moving the goalposts, contradicting himself on every issue, multiple times; yet his every decree is gospel. Biden promises to cede decisions to him. Did you see his name on a ballot? Have you seen his record of success? Holding a job for decades appears to be his biggest, yet our fate rests in the hands of a man who came to fame working on a vaccine for AIDS that never came into being. Now a paper-pusher, he somehow is de facto president in the media, readying for his move to the big office. Maybe 2021 won’t be any better…
This year was a disaster, and if we play our cards wrong, things will stay bad for a long time. As it ends, the only good thing that can be said about 2020 is that it is ending.
We’re having a party tonight at my house. The main attraction will be a Grievance Fire. People are invited to wright down their 2020 grievances and then toss them into it. Its going to be busy, hopefully the town will leave us alone.
I personally lost three friends to the stress of this manufactured ‘pandemic’. One of which was my best friend of 36 years. He was 43 and my best man.
Great article. 2020 will go down as the year of the Jacobins with Pelosi as Robespierre
Derek Hunter is a local talk show host in the Baltimore area (WCBM). He’s quite good.

If the GOP looses those two Georgia senate seats 2020 may be remembered as the Good Ole Days....
dont blame 2020 blame china and the rats
Doesn’t even mention the George Floyd overdose hoax.
2020 is almost over, almost over, almost over
2020 is almost over, all over the world.
Loosely, from Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson
Yes, I agree. They’ve seen what they can get away with and how docile we’ve been, so 2021 will be federal-level tyranny on steroids if the Dems control the entire government.
I think I’ll give another donation to the Georgia campaigns.
I hope my competitors remain as fearful and cowardly in 2021 as they were in 2020.
If they hold the seats what do you expect to improve? Both parties have made it clear they are led by anti-Trumpers - by extension, they oppose US.
If Beijing Biden is installed it is the end of the republic; it is already very clearly the end of any semblance of a two-party system. The average American worker and/or taxpayer has no voice at all if Trump is removed.
If you asked someone last year that we’d be in this mess right now they wouldn’t believe it. If this is a trend then look out a year from now. It could get bloody.
Not for me. 2020 has been a disaster for me, will 2020 continue a disaster for me? I sure hope not. I do admit I did make mistakes.
But even if the Usurper is installed in office, some of the gains made under President Trump will survive. We are not going to return to what the Democrats and primitives think of as "the good old days." The Usurper and his assistant may try to turn the clock back, but the changes President Trump made were too radical to be overcome by a tired old ideology. If the Democrats and their figurehead get anything done, it'll be of little or no significance.
If I have any disappointments it's been that President Trump was far too late, if at all, to get the tumbrils rolling down the streets to the clickety-clack of knitting needles. He should have done far more injury to the enemies of the Constitution and The People, than he did--especially since he had the power and the means to do so. I hope he is the last Republican president who tried to play nice with the Democrats.
As for other things about 2020, it was the fourth year in a row that I exceeded an expected expiration date. As for others with terminal cancer, I suggest that nothing in life--other than God--is infallible, including medical science.
Does that mean a 9 Thermidor II is coming in 2021?
2020 showed us the evil and sinful acts of mankind and thus we feel the effects of our sins.
Christ told us not to follow the ways of the world, but to follow Him. We receive our reward in Heaven. I feel that many will receive theirs in Hell.

Understand your thoughts. And, don’t disagree. However, keeping senate control with the GOP is the better of bad options for the time being.
Besides the massive political loss in the US, 2020 was actually very, very good for me.
Personally - my workload and remuneration actually increased as more companies discovered that they needed to use online analytics. And my expenses dropped significantly - down by nearly 40%. No debts and money in the stock markets increased. Family wise the first lockdown in April-June was stressful but after that we actually bonded more and things are better than before 2020.
politically - Trump’s loss was a blow, but where I live, in Poland, the right conservative pro-life President won a 2nd term.
“However, keeping senate control with the GOP is the better of bad options for the time being.”
I agree, but it is maintaining a fiction of two parties instead of exposing the Uniparty collaboration to remove Trump.
