Séamas O'Reilly: The US election of 2020 ended with the honk of history's greatest-ever clown car

"On November 7, 2020, while America awaited the results of the presidential election, Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani held a press conference to discuss electoral fraud - this event was held, not at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Philadelphia, but in the carpark of a garden centre named Four Seasons Total Landscaping."

Rudy Giuliani speaks to the media at a press conference held in the back parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping on November 7, 2020 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The press conference took place just minutes after news networks announced that Joe Biden had won the presidency over Donald Trump after it was projected that he had won the state of Pennsylvania.

I celebrated an anniversary this week. It’s an important one for my family and I. 

Had I thought more about it, I would have booked some time off, perhaps taken the kids out of school and made a day of it, gathered with a few close friends to watch video of the event, so we could while away the hours, crying with laughter at a beautiful day we’ll never allow ourselves to forget.
