Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit.
Enter our recurring feature,
Memes, Ranked. This week, we ve got Joe Biden and Lady Gaga, the vaccine announcement vs. the vaccine rollout, Donald Trump s note for Biden and, of course, Bernie Sanders at the inauguration.
4. Donald Trump s Note For Joe Biden
The meme
After much speculation following a norm-breaking presidency, it was confirmed that Donald Trump did in fact leave a note in the Oval Office for Joe Biden, just as previous outgoing presidents had done for their successors. On Wednesday evening, Biden called the letter very generous but wouldn t divulge its contents. No need, really, as the internet had already let us know what the letter said.

Ours has always been a fragile democracy all democracies are but over the last four years, its fragility has become ever more apparent by the day. You need look no further than The Atlantic s November cover story by Barton Gellman, published just yesterday: it s titled The Election That Could Break America. Fragile things can and do break, after all.
The story largely concerns one of the great hallmarks of our system of government, the peaceful transition of power from one president to the next. A hallmark though it may be, it has never been guaranteed. Our Constitution does not secure the peaceful transition of power, but rather presupposes it, the legal scholar Lawrence Douglas writes in his book Will He Go? about the 2020 election.
As President Trump’s term came to a close, he embraced one tradition while ignoring so many others, leaving a note in the Oval Office for the next president, Joe Biden.
