The vast majority of Canadians have been waiting for this moment.
Would that the vast majority of Americans had been waiting for it too.
It isn't anywhere near the humiliating repudiation of his Presidency I had hoped for, nor are the House and Senate outcomes particularly to my liking, but he IS GONE, and that's nothing to be made light of.
I doubt that there's any more "legislative" type damage he can do other than ram through a bunch more incompetent judges, which doesn't require House/Senate cooperation, and beyond that, I'll guess that he's limited to executive orders, which will no doubt be vituperative, but will be reversible immediately after the inauguration (which, I suspect, may really break the attendance record this time).
I don't think the nuclear codes enable him to hit NY and CA, so we're probably OK in that respect.
More: A potential side-slapping side effect of his loss may very well be the bankruptcy of his D.C. hotel, which, I"ve read, is the first of his ventures that he's ever let his kids in on.
