You don't need to be a physician to know that injecting disinfectant is incredibly dangerous and stupid.

Trump was asking a doctor and "supposing".

And what does Biden have to do with anything?

He first used the word "bleach" in the context of Trump's speech,

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Absolutely laughable Biden made one comment about trump supporters being garbage and somehow that’s worse than anything Trump has said over the last 8 plus years ..the media was treating it like something the Dems have to apologise for immediately and yet ignored any comparison to anything Trump has said over the years

It was all in the timing. Trump said some cringey things over the journey too. Each side tried to capitalise on each other’s gaffes. This was probably the last one made by a Democrat, and happened to be right before Election Day. Nice work, Joe.

 

[Gethelred]

Oh sorry THAT changes ...nothing. The relevant part is the accusation that the Sup Court is "stacked". Its not. It just has fewer Democrat appointees.

... I'm sorry, but are you unfamiliar with what the term 'majority' means?

Geerymander is a just a word for "the voting boundaries don't suit my side of politics".

... I have a question for you, impromptu of nothing.

Are you a halfwit?

"Voter suppression" is an insult to blacks and hispanics, that somehow they're incapable of getting ID or actually placing a valid. Shock actually Trump increased his black and hispanic votes.

...I didn't know it was possible to have one's head shoved up their own arse and buried in sand at the same time.

Voter suppression is not merely a means of suppressing votes from racial minorities, because it persecutes people by class. Being the racially focused individual you are, this might come as a shock to you, but the republican party persecutes people just as much on class as it does race in a modern context.

The Democrats blocked Republican judicial nominees mutiple times decades before McConnel repaid the favour. Don't dish it out if you can't take it

- looks left and right -

I don't know how to tell you this, you utter fool, but...

I'm an Aussie mate. I've got plenty of criticisms for the Democrats and the Republicans, and I've long said their parliamentary system's ****ed due to a combination of things, one of which is their lack of an independent electoral commission.

Dunno why you thought it was such a good idea to lunge out with the 'don't dish it out if you can't take it', you're not even encountering me with it. Go find someone else to oppose.

You need to dig deeper. The Democrats did the dirty on judicial appoi

You need to refrain from digging. Your head's in deep enough; at any point, you're liable to give yourself a colonoscopy.

 

[stefcep]

Fantastic to hear from you again Dr Atlas…

Dr Phil..

Dr Berenson…

Dr RFK….

We are super dooper saved.

So you have noting to add but personal insults. So boringly predictable.

Here's the fact check not that you will read it:

Take a breath man.

You’re a good guy.

All Things Must Pass.

The President of the most powerful country of the world should not be asking on live TV during a pandemic if it is okay to inject yourself with disinfectant.

Gaffes

That’s an interesting take on Trumps behaviour over the years

called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”

suggested that Harris was a sex worker and her advisers were “pimp handlers”…

“Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”

I could go on and on

 

[BobbyMorri]

End of the day, people have had enough of the establishment status quo, so they look for something different.

Dems seem to want a "Broad tent" including neocons, when everyone hates them on the left and the right now. It just makes them seem like they are the establishment.

Also 12 of past 16 years have been democrats, so there is often just a natural appetite for change from the electorate.

Trump would have won 2020, before Covid happened. (and yes, he did lose)

If covid was a year later, Trump would have been the one who was smashed in this election. The economy isn't too bad, it just takes people too long to realise the effects of that.

This was always going to be a change election. Biden had to quit sooner and the Democrats (in hindsight) had to pick a radical as well.

Anyway, there is no excuse for old Donny not to do what he said. Senate, House, him, all his people......I just glad I am not the pollie who has to kiss Donnies arse and pander to that ego.

 

[revo333]

It will be interesting to see what will happen from here.

WW3 no doubt.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Geez Kamala was a really shitty candidate. But honestly its Biden's fault for not standing down and allowing a Dem primary. And why Walz as running mate? I never got his appeal.

Walz was Tim Kaine 2.0.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Gaffes

.called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” …

TBF, that wasn't him and it was a joke. His team approved it though, which is where I would have drawn the line .....

But hey, he increased his Latino vote, so didn't hurt him at all.

I spent utterly no time reading that.

Thank you.

You'd know surely.

Being the racially focused individual you are, this might come as a shock to you, but the republican party persecutes people just as much on class as it does race in a modern context.

Utter ****ing nonsense. Trump just won an election- and the popular vote-on the back of the working class and ethnic minorities.

Once again the Facts. Do. Not. Fit.

You clearly are a half wit incapabel of simple comprehension, The democtrats dished it out and then you parrotted their "the court is stacked against us" grievance. Learn a bit of history and educate yourself you poor simpleton.

You need to refrain from digging. Your head's in deep enough; at any point, you're liable to give yourself a colonoscopy.

Head. Explodes.

Must had been joking about everything else from mocking the disabled reporter to insulting minorities groups

All one big joke

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Still find it utterly insane how many people just don’t bother voting in America.

Always wonder who that 40 percent would vote for if forced

 

[stefcep]

The President of the most powerful country of the world should not be asking on live TV during a pandemic if it is okay to inject yourself with disinfectant.

That's your opinion, and is beside the point. The point is it was reported falsely and it still is.

Ever expanding Russian isn’t good for tension …we have seen this play out before

 

[JB1975]

There is a movement which isn't just Trump now.

Even if Trump lost today, it was never going to be the end of MAGA.

The movement straddles too many fault lines to just blow away once its inaugural leader bows out, and it has also shown an ability to adapt and grow.

Left-wingers in far-flung countries (like me) can suggest that the American people get what the deserve from Trump, but they have never deserved the robber baron economy or the pretend democracy they've been putting up with for decades.

What they did deserve was a Dem candidate who offered them something more than simply not being the other guy.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Was pretty shitty that Harris didn’t address the country

Her team hadn’t prepared the autocue for a loss. They’ll be up all night writing her a new speech as well as the congratulatory phone call to the President-elect.

 

[Plugger35]

Can't believe Kamala cosied up to the ****ing Cheney's at the last minute. Same energy as Hillary palling around with Henry Kissinger.

Her biggest mistake was going on SNL and doing a blantant ripoff of a much better Mick Jagger/Jimmy Fallon SNL mirror sketch.




People could see right through it.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Ever expanding Russian isn’t good for tension …we have seen this play out before

Russia has expanded more in Bidens presidency than Trumps….

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Was pretty shitty that Harris didn’t address the country

It was the the most fitting, on brand ending. Fake phone call and didnt speak to the people.

 

[Strange Cat]

Putin has expanded more in Bidens presidency than Trumps….

You’re being very obtuse about this , Russian take Ukraine back and then their borders keep expanding …they will target other areas now that Trump favours Putin and will withdraw support

It’ll be up to Europe now to try and hold back Russia

 

[tandino]

Not sitting down and talking to Joe Rogan probably didn't cost her the election, but as it turned out she was in no position to turn down an otherwise hard to reach audience of millions of people.

Though I think the points Howard Stern has made about Hillary Clinton not appearing on his show in 2016 are pretty informative.



Maybe long form unstructured conversation in that type of setting was too much of a risk for her.
