It was the photo I had been dreaming about for four long years. Donald Trump leaving the White House for the last time.
After all those years, and all those posts, and all those graphics, I was disappointed that I wasn't able to watch it live.
So I could give him a last one-finger salute, or moon the TV in one last crude gesture of defiance.
But then the dirty old man is finally yesterday's story...
Golly, what a difference a day makes. Yesterday the Con clown Erin O'Toole was claiming that there was no room for far right extremists in his grubby Trump Party.
But today he is struggling to deal with an even worse problem, if that's possible.
A Con Nazi problem.
Oh no. It seems that Erin O'Toole has changed his mind and now does NOT want Canadians to look into their mirrors, and see if they can see a Conservative.
Lest they see him and his treasonous Trump Party beaming back at them.
For once upon a time O'Toole modelled himself after Trump, thinking that the orange monster and his MAGA maggots were going to win the next election.
But sadly for him they lost, so now it's a nightmare.
It's Erin OToole's worst nightmare, the one that wakes him up at night screaming MAGA MAGA MAGGAARGH!!
For just over four months since he became Con leader he was able to conceal who he really was, and what his party had become.
But not any longer. The fascist explosion at the Capitol blew their cover.
And the poll numbers don't lie.
I have always believed that Erin O'Toole is a far-right fraud posing as a moderate.
When he is really the would be leader of Canada's Trump Party.
He might fool a lot of Canadians, including most of our shabby shuffling media, but he can't fool me.
This is just more evidence of who he really is, and it's not pretty...
Erin O'Toole launched this creepy ad campaign at his first news conference after becoming Con leader.
"I want more Canadians to see a Conservative when they look in the mirror."
And he liked it so much he ran it again and again.
But not any longer. Now the Cons are desperately stripping the ad off all their media platforms.
Because now they're afraid that when Canadians see a Conservative in the mirror, he might look like this guy.
For a man who hates losing so much, Donald Trump has lost a lot recently.
He lost the election, he lost the Senate, he lost more than sixty court cases in a row.
His attempt to use a MAGA mob to overthrow the results of the election failed so miserably, he was finally forced to concede he was a loser.
And now Nancy Pelosi is demanding that he resign or be impeached.
But for Trump this must be the most painful blow of all.
Donald Trump was already a very sick man, mentally ill and increasingly desperate.
As CNN correspondent Jim Acosta reported, a senior GOP source had warned that Trump is "out of his mind, so traumatized by his loss in the election, it's all-consuming."
So when he woke up yesterday morning and found out that Republicans had lost the Georgia runoff, and consequently the Senate, it was too much to bear.
And when he addressed his MAGA supporters gathered in huge numbers outside the White House he was ready to blow.
Ever since he became their Great Leader, Jason Kenney has been treated like a god by many Albertans.
As long as he attacked Justin Trudeau, demonized the carbon tax, and called those who criticized him "Alberta bashers" he could do no wrong.
But not any longer.
Now he's the Con clown King of the Flybirds.
I watched the sun go down for the last time on 2020, and it was as ugly and as threatening as the cursed year.
Which seemed right to me because it was the worst year I have ever known. One with more dead than anyone could count, more fear and more madness and the prospect of even more horror to come.
A year only the Grim Reaper could love.
