He'll leave if he's immune to future prosecution, is my guess.

What an absolute fool.

 

[sherb]

It's great to hear grown ups speaking from the presidential podium again.

It's been a while.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

I so hope Donnie's watching

It's probably on every channel.

 

[campbell]

full future immunity?

Won’t happen.
You can’t hold a country to ransome.
There would be no law and order in America if that happened.

 

[raskolnikov]

Trump supporters wouldn't have liked Biden quoting the Bible.

 

[Chameleon75]

But in reality, being elected to higher office, promotion at work,

We should make attractive people uglier and taller people shorter

not equal outcomes, liberal version of equal rights is limited to upper middle class, for those below antagonisms remain.

its quite emotional, had almost forgotten what US leadership was.

 

[campbell]

It's probably on every channel.

He probably stuck his fist through the tv.

 

[myblueroan]

Our happiness
Slowly creeeping back...
Listening to Kamala and Joe
Geez had forgotten what this feels like.
Joy.
Decency
Humanity.
Not since Obama.
The weight is lifting.
Thankyou voters.
Dems and Republicans who voted against that sociopath and FOR Democracy.
A great day.

The Squad keeps getting bigger!

Like Obama and Guantanamo and drone warfare and Yemen, they would do exactly the same thing and be patsies to the Generals, it is pandering and happy talk

There's gonna be a first dog again - and what a dog
(I actually think he has 2 dogs)
View attachment 1006235

a rescue dog too.

This is almost too emotional

 

[campbell]

Can't lose if you resign first

Um no way.

 

[Numero Uno]

Of course he isn't, he's America's president.

lol...

 

[NSWCROW]

"Usually in recounts they get a difference of a few hundred. This 7000 will be, uh, hard to overcome."

lol

This is a huge win for Fox. They can finally get back to what they're good at - attacking democrat Presidents and stoking fear. They no longer have to cater to the whims of a mad man child who has more social media capital than them.

I've been waiting a few years to say that.

Bang on son.

 

[Evolved1]

The stuff about stolen elections is just Trump consolidating his legacy. Sensible people haven't bought into it. He'll concede when he's ready.

When has Trump ever conceded defeat after a loss? He'll cut his losses and run, leaving others to clean up the mess he leaves behind. It will likely cost the GOP the next election too and Trump won't give a ****.

 

[raskolnikov]

It's great to hear grown ups speaking from the presidential podium again.

It's been a while.

But according to Fox he's a stuttering fool.

 

[semja778]

Any other election, this kinda speech would be kinda boring and cliche.

But this is actually refreshing.

 

[Gough]

Every speech Trump makes between now and the 20th of Jan will be compared to this and is going to come up so short it's not even funny.

 

[Satan]

The stuff about stolen elections is just Trump consolidating his legacy. Sensible people haven't bought into it. He'll concede when he's ready.

Surely you jest . Bit like fonzi saying sorry. Conceding is the gentleman's thing to do and Trump is not gentle or a decent man

 

[Chicago1]

I'm thinking of inviting President Trump and Melania over for dinner if he comes to Melbourne to open up a branch of his future re-established Trump University. Would ordering through Uber Eats be acceptable?

 

[Balls In]

It doesn't matter. Biden has 290 EC votes. He can lose Arizona.

Actually Biden has zero EC votes. As does Trump.

The inside dirt starting to come out. Good Politico piece:

Inside Donald Trump’s 2020 undoing

How Biden prevailed and Trump fell short in an unforgettable election, according to conversations with 75 insiders.

www.politico.com

That's a really good article. Mind numbing amounts of money thrown about by both campaigns. Gives good background to each campaigns struggles. Trump shot himself in the foot with his disdain for treating Covid19 seriously despite advice from some of his closest advisors. So the famous gut was wrong, it had better stick to Quarter pounders than campaign decisions. Pandemics are usally a boost for a government if the response is credible. It was an amazingly poor strategy.

not a single gloat about himself. Not a single exaggeration of his own performance or popularity or worth. How f'n good is this!

 

[Anzacpaul]

I just want to see Trump speak again. Surely must be a deliberate act to keep him away from the camera?

I want to see him throw the toys out the cot, mouth frothing.
