I think VP elect Kamala's phone call "we did it Joe" has great potential to be the new rickroll..

Usually there is that speech where the winner says they received a very dignified call from their opponent, and where the loser says they called the winner to congratulate them. McCain's speech was really memorable in that respect, his true dignity in defeat and how he immediately quelled any booing efforts.

Guess that won't be happening this time.

I wonder will Trump be at the inauguration. Last time, he was able to say a few words about how helpful the Obamas had been during the transition. I'm sure Joe Biden is able to offer the same empty niceties, but will Trump be there to hear them.

No chance he'll be at the inauguration. More likely he'll hold a rally at the same time somewhere else.

That McCain speech was on one of the news channels the other night along with Bush 1.0 and Hillary's speeches. The difference between every one of them and Trump's behaviour was striking, and I say that as someone who isn't a big fan of any of them.

I have personal experince of worse than Parkinsons and I wouldn't hesitate to wish the same on Putin, particularly as he gets his jollies from using exceedingly nasty toxins and poisons on many of his victims.

If Trump is looking for some examples of how to concede gracefully he could do a lot worse than look at these.

Trump campaign called a lid again! Remember all the Trumpists on here laughing at Biden about that. Love it!

The only good thing to emerge from this mountain of shíte is that Biden has to be surely better for all things Covid related

Have you considered a career in international diplomacy? you would be a natural.

I'm just too good at being diplomatic and gracious that I'd just make others jealous.

It would be rude.

The best comparison would be Gore. If they truly are compiling data and presenting to the courts on Monday (I'm not naive I know it is likely frivolous) then he has no obligation to do so. It's Trump so it'll never be gracious, but people are assuming he won't leave office but I'm certain once he exhausts the courts he will step down but continue tweeting about it forever more.

Another trump lid called! He's racking them up, I think he wants to beat Joe's record before he leaves the White House

Trump is supposedly a billionaire, so Biden's a relative pauper.

True, but he didn't just claim it.

Some of it was hollow like all politicians but he took a lot of hits and used up a lot of political capital for certain policies and pushbacks that meant something to many people. I know people on here thinks covid is all his fault, but just in isolation he took on being called xenophobic by all the democrats just for shutting down planes coming from the centre of the outbreak. On that one Biden had to backtrack, and on many policies Biden had to start integrating some of Trump's agenda which was attacked by the establishment

He lost a hell of a lot of popularity with the military because the generals fundamentally disagreed with his isolationism (Mad Dog and others). Whereas it's actually the popular consensus to bring troops home and stay out of foreign wars, but that was deemed a negative for Trump by the media. I mean he could have just went with whatever Mattis said and saved himself any political loss there.

I don't agree with that interpretation of events tbh

He got some things right, but a broken clock is right twice a day.


But my point is - I think it's beneficial to not get bogged down in Trump any more. He's gone. We could argue all day about good Vs bad of Trump. We might convince each other about some points, but generally, probably not.

What IS important is what appealed about him. What was missing. Why do people feel he resonated (again ignoring the argument of whether or not he cared) and what can be done to improve the situation.

Similarly, Trump definitely did destroy lots of parts of society. Trump fans have to try and understand that it's not acceptable to disown the media** etc they too represent the views of real people and u can't all be 'fake' just because the message is different.



**There are major issues with journalism, but no where near what has been painted for Trumps gain.

So Obama is diddling Melania and W Bush is diddling Michelle Obama because they get on very well.

If that trend continues...you have to feel sorry for Jill Biden.

It has a million views and rising, it's not that hard to find at all

Trust Biden supporters on here and elsewhere to have complete blinkers on to him even touching kids though

There was no winner today. Both of them are disgusting "men"

I'm happy Biden got elected, even though the vote counting has a whiff of Zanu PF about it. I think he will be good for Ireland re brexit.

If someone had been earning what a Senator and then VP earns for that length of time and *wasn't* an asset millionaire, I wouldn't want them to them run a charity shop let alone a country.

Its gonna be a quiet at The Inauguration of the President with covid and since alot mailed in their vote. Good to see it will be kept sensible so the spread of the virus will not increase.

I’ve only been watching cnn , so it may be a network bias, but I never thought I’d see news anchors openly calling a potus a liar and other names and generally sticking the knife in at any chance.

i thought trump would concede and make the call to biden. Bit more skeptical now as i think he will fight this to the bitter end.

whether or not trump turns up i dont think matters as much this time round to the transition. biden was VP only 4 years ago, and aside from Covid most of the same issues remain such as the ideological divide between red and left. i'm not sure about the various foreign policies.

I can show you similar images for Trump, only it's his own daughter, Ivanka, the one he's on record as wanting to....
