But why the Republicans would forget what they received as a treatment  whiteout kicking back ?

Remember in 2008 the GOP Senate leadership announcing their mission was to make Obama a one term president.l?  And look at the goverment shutdown during the Clinton Administration.  The deep partisan division and obstructionism goes back a lot further than 4 years. 

 

We could run the history tapes all the way back to Hamilton-Jefferson. 

 

Of course there will be more of this going forward.  For better or for worse, it is a fundamental tension engrained in the American political system.

Do you forget how the Republicans treated Obama? You are making it sound that they are totally innocent in all of this.

Trump shouldn't have even had a sniff of a chance in this election. Most decent people find him repulsive. The fact that at one point it looked like Trump could win a 2nd term says it all about how weak the opposition was. I'd be very concerned about that if I were a Dem supporter. 

 

The way I see it, Trump was just a warning shot to the woke brigade who were pulling things too far left. It was 4 years of punishment for them. I hope they learned their lesson. 

 

 

I think it is more a sign of how many undecent people there are in the States.

IMO I estimate 50% of the American people don't know the difference between a socialist and a social worker.  I think the impact of DT in this election was his denouncing of Biden, accusing him of things that most people didn't even know what he was talking about.  Most people have enough to deal with in their lives and don't pay attention to all this mess: kind of funny, in the 2016 campaign Ted Cruz accused DT of misleading the people who were not paying attention, which is his own tactic.

An example is the DT "fine people on both sides" statement, made all the news outlets, but a few days later when he whispered a denouncement of the white supremacists it barely got coverage.

 

When he goes back to laundering $$$ for his Russian pals federal law enforcement is going to be waiting for him, "yeah, we remember all those things you said about us."

He's just come out of the bunker on the golf course apparently .. expect a volley of full caps rantings with loads of exclamation marks from his Twitter account shortly .. 

[dundas]

It's great news and not just for Americans! But it's not over til 'the fat lady sings' and that's months away. My main concern is the possibility of Trump fermenting civil war in the US. He's not going to climb down easily into the position of 'LOSER."

ooh, i just noticed!  the BIG press conference is being held at a landscaping company.

 

reminds me of all the ex-student athaletes that are hired by used-car dealerships for sales promotions to sign autographs.

 

"hey!  i remember you!  you played center in '18, right?  shame you lost the championship with the 3-pointer just as the buzzer sounded.  what?  no, thanks, no autograph....but could you send that salesman over for me?  thanks."

Trump is not going to go gently into that good night. The way I see it, he is an incubus which has wrenched the Republican Party off its foundations. They are now mere followers of a cult of personality which will persist until he dies.Until now, Mitt Romney was the only Republican to stand up to him. Trump will still have huge influence over the party, even if he is in jail.

Trump's success at getting 48% of people to vote for him, including Hispanics and in the middle of a pandemic exacerbated by him, is an indication of the tremendous polarisation of American society. Biden has the toughest job in the world.

i hope this makes it through, a short clip from star trek that pretty much sums it up.

Woke to a different world this morning, so before the gloating starts, just going to say there was a certain inevitability to the result, but ....................................

 

Anyone else want to estimate how long before the US has president Harris? I'm guessing by end of 2021.

Just guessing, and IN MY OPINION, but say hello to lockdown and the end of the economic recovery. The US can join other western countries economically destroyed, like the UK.

Thank god trumps reign of destruction is almost over let’s just hope they can limit further damage till he’s run off it’s been a long four years!

Yup, Biden is Harris' Trojan horse.

Given her past indiscretions and from what I saw of her in the debate with Pence I suspect there is trouble ahead, sadly. But she does tick a lot of boxes for the woke folk, and for them that's more important than having the best person for the job.

that's the thing....he seems to be the type to want to take everyone and everything else down with him.

 

he can still fire any big cheeses in the executive branch, all the ambassadors and department heads, to make the transition........difficult.

 

he has unlimited pardon power for anyone convicted of federal crimes.

 

he has his executive orders, and boxes of fresh sharpies.

 

and he has a radiologist as covid advisor, with plenty of time to kill an additional 100,000 americans before liberation.

 

he's gonna need something big to cement his legacy.  (remember "why do we have all these nukular bombs if we can't use them?" and "maybe we could drop a nuke into a hurricane to stop it!")

A lock down is only part of the solution.  And in some states in the US, which didn't do lock downs, their economy did NO better than ones that did a lock down.  Time to get the virus under control so we can get back to a normal life.  Hopefully, with science in control, that will start to happen in the US.  If it requires a short lock down, then so be it.

Iowa Never Locked Down. Its Economy Is Struggling Anyway.

President Trump has blamed Democratic officials’ rules for impeding the recovery. But even where restrictions are few, business is far from normal.

And Iowa is in an exceptionally favorable position. Agriculture and manufacturing make up a larger proportion of its economy than they do in most other states.

Harris is a great VP elect.  Way better than that religious nut Pence.  Probably the best pick for VP the dems could put up.  Congrats to her.
