    You do know Trump doesn't write his tweets, it's not him.

    I am not aware of any 7 year olds either in the WH or on his staff, so it was him, you are just dribbling.

    You couldn't find an adult to employ who would be so filterless they would put out a tweet on behalf of the POTUS complaining they had nothing to do.

    Yep, he'll take the reins to reign from January!

    They could, but it's also highly likely they are not.

    Lads, give it a rest with the disingenuous nonsense.

    Your guy lost, get over it.

    We are just pointing out the double standards yet we have posters sticking childish memes up mocking trump supporters, what we posted above is based on Biden gatherings that happened yesterday. Responsible thing to have done was for Biden and his camp to advise supporters not to gather in large groups and where they have to disperse.

    The point isn't valid in the context of the post. Unlike Trump, Biden did not organise crowds and rallies like this. There are both dumb Democrats and dumb Republicans, the dangerous thing is when the leader himself is dumb and organises such rallies and encourages people to attend such rallies.
    It's the same message we've had here about crowds and it's just what PH officials do. We do appreciate what they do and say and we mostly listen but boy are they killjoys!

    Rudy heard the news in the middle of his "press conference" in the parking lot :pac:

    The crying on Twitter is a sight to behold. "It's not over yet! The count isn't over! You can't say it's over!", and, "His court cases will get recounts, they'll prove fraud and Trump will win this election!"

    Epic levels of denial. This is pseudo-religious stuff. Trump supporters have lost all sense of logic.

    You could say they have some sort of... Derangement Syndrome..

    Isn't it the responsibility of the president of the country, or at least the members of his team, to tell his citizens not to gather in large groups? How many times has he done that since the pandemic started, let alone in the past week?

    Yeah the celebrations were concerning. The one saving grace is that most people were wearing masks and were doing so properly. I saw people on twitter encouraging those who celebrating to do so safely and to get tested for covid.

    While the celebrations are not a good idea, comparing them to the multiple super spreader Trump rallies organized by Trump is absurd.

    Hope Johnson is seeing this on twitter.

    Farage did and he's scared witless.

    Biden has 9m and rising in California but that still will only get him 55 electoral votes. As Trump showed in 2016, it's not the number of votes it's where you have them and he doesn't have them in the right places.

    Johnson now has to factor in that Biden will be president when the US-UK trade talks are happening. Between an extremely high Covid mortality rate and hospitals being overrun, the economy tanking, a possible crash out, and Biden's disdain for him and his Brexit, Johnson has painted himself into a corner. At the very least, he needs to foster goodwill with the Biden administration. Messing with the GFA in any way will mean that he can forget about a meaningful trade deal.

    Did you say Trump should not have been holding any of the rallies that he organised and actively encouraged people not to wear masks at them? If not (which you didn’t), you’ve no place in taking the moral high ground.

    Those celebrations made me uncomfortable too, however when you’ve had to deal with four years of that tyrant openly saying he represents people who voted for him and constantly talking about your run-down city, as well as all the various dog whistles and the fact that he made the US a laughing stock, I’m not going to pass judgement. I just hope nobody gets sick.

    It just means another set of adults to deal with, who will not humour him in any way.

    Clearly Biden is nowhere near as culpable as Trump but his and Harris's failure (AFAIK) thus far to call for an end to these gatherings IMO falls short of the leadership required in a time of pandemic.

    They should not be gathering in large groups but you're not fooling anyone with this faux concern now when the current President was actively bragging about having massive crowds in the middle of a pandemic.

    I agree Fauci or Biden should have something to say about it however.

    Meanwhile Biden has his acceptance rally as a socially distanced event in jeeps (which some on here decried as 'low energy' by its low turnout, f*cking lol)

    Might have been Barron? If I was his age, in his position and had Dad's password, I'd definitely have done it...

    Come to think of it, maybe he booked the Four Seasons Landscaping gig. He was the inside man all the time...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Exactly, a set of adults who are ideologically opposed to almost everything Johnson and his populist Tory government stand for.

    It was a spontaneous reaction and outburst of joy and relief. If they are still at it in a week's time you can be sure they'll say something.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,234 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    Funny alright how they where all moaning about how unsafe Trump's rallys. But no criticism of 1000's of Bidens fans congragated together yesterday that gets a pass because Biden's supporters are immune to Covid.

    Get your head out of the media circle it's stuck in, there's been criticism from the outset.

    The main difference though is that pretty much everyone there are wearing masks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,033 ✭✭✭Christy42


    It was a good speech last night.

    However it will be interesting to see how he can reach across the aisle. The number 1 thing Trump supporters seem to have wanted the last 4 years is the misery of liberals. I am not sure how to work with someone who only wants to make you unhappy. However if there is one person who find some common ground it is Biden. Plus it is nice to have someone who will actually try as opposed to Trump who only wanted to divide and expressly only did things for his own voters.

    On the rallies, they shouldn't have happened. Hopefully they don't happen again, Biden has been setting a great example with his rallies. However the outrage is hilarious. It shows that people are quick to hold Biden to a higher standard than Trump.

    Biden will listen to the scientists. There is a reason his rallies where not linked to more cases. There is a reason his campaign has not had multiple outbreaks within it. He has already been getting briefings on the situation and will be able to hit the ground running in January.

    Disappointed that Trump hasn't been on Twitter since yesterday around the time of the press conference between the landscaping business and the porn shop.

    Part of Bidens election drive was calling out the president's mishandling of the Covid crisis, so if he is the president elect him then him and his team should be practicing what they preach and at least call for restraint amongst there supporters.

    You'd imagine they are starting to work on him, while Rudy rides across the country suing everyone.

    No it's not. Uncle Tom may still be alive and well, but I have no interest in what he has to say.

    That's a disgraceful thing to call a black person. Assuming that all black people need to have a certain political point of view because of their race?

    You have just blamed republucans for all the division, attitudes like that are why America is so divided, both sides are at fault. Not talking about trump we all know he is divisive but you cannot just blame republicans for the division.

    They are practicing what they preach. There has been social distancing and mask wearing at their speeches from those in the crowds, and Biden is going to announce a COVID task force as soon as Monday. https://www.axios.com/biden-to-announce-covid-19-task-force-monday-23b353bd-863b-4e0f-bb64-c6da4a5758b2.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
