Yeah that’s true but once the numbers are irrefutable Biden should be able to take his position as president elect.
 

Pointless waiting for trump to concede, not going to happen. 

 

It takes class to do that.

Yes but my point is that Biden has already won and networks decision to delay the call gives oxygen to 45s desperate effort to deligitimize the Biden presidency.

I like to think of it as prolonging his discomfort.

Yeah, I see your point and I don’t disagree with you, but I also understand my Biden and to a certain extent the media, is acting as he is.

There is a very slight chance that Trump could still win. But the way I see it, its not over till the fat man squeals.

I don't see it that way. It gives his craziness more air.

No chance via the votes determining the electoral college because Biden has Pennsylvania wrapped up with a pretty Philly cheese steak on top.

Legal problems galore await Trump now that he's lost reelection — and, soon, his presidential immunity

hope the 2 boys and Ivanka are on the same line of legal troubles

He's slower than before nobody is denying that but he's smart and experienced enough to organize an incredibly effective cabinet. I am worried about the transition period though. Definitely a vacuum now and an opportunity for enemies.

Trump is even more powerful than Gerald Ford: next to him anybody looks sane.

Not so evident, you believe he is the worst person you have ever listened too. and thus, as I do support him, I am then deemed in your opinion to being a danger to society. As I have no "skin in this game" being an overseas observer, I have found his speeches a bit dis-jointed but heartfelt patriotic to the U.S.A.

Wasn't Comey supposed to take Trump out? Wasn't Mueller after his failure? Nancy with her impeachment? 

Beyond a joke.

D J Trump met with Rocketman, and eased the nuclear clock, D J Trump met with Xi Jinping and temporarily eased  the tension.

D J Trump told  NATO allies they need to start contributing equally, D J Trump reiterated the need for a hard border between the USA and Mexico as it was open gateway for illegal immigrants.

 

Wish USA all the best for the future, however the horizon looks bleak.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the intelligent differing view. I would love to engage you in a on list of my disbarring trump events and specific policy and stands this clown has spewed. Consider my offer to go deep into this. Having no dog in this fight I see your pick and choose  and that is not a reliable messaging.

Rupert Murdoch-owned conservative media outlets in the United States, including Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, began saying “if and when” a Trump loss becomes clear he should preserve his “legacy” by showing grace in defeat.

If you flip an egg before it's ready, you ruin the meal.  Joe has intelligence and knows how to show patience rather than paper tiger braggadocio. Joe already has Secret Service protection reserved for a president elect.  Even Murdoch told 45 he has a 98% chance of losing. It's all over but the crying.

Well, he’s got the better of Trump.

 

Just sayin.

A post with derogatory candidate nickname calling has been removed, as will any other future candidate name calling posts.  They have actual names -- use them.

When are they gonna call this Kamala Harris presidency anyway?

Speaking of crying anyone heard a peep out of Cryingdick. She and I have  bet on this election. Choosing a flowering trump avatar can anyone help?

I am not a US citizen, but I have always admired the many checks and balances that the founders (With possibly some later amendments?) built into the constitution. Unfortunately your Electoral college system mirrors our UK  FPTP stupidity, and the Senate gives too much power, to a small number of people, in States that contribute too little to US PLC (I understand that it was a necessary compromise at the time). 

 

One thing that I will never understand though is why there is a 2 1/2 month gap between election and taking power. Asking for trouble, as should have been obvious I would have thought.

What you say is quite true. However, Trump also stokes racial hatred, demeans women, and separates children from their parents. He insults and belittles anyone who disagrees with him. His contempt for science has resulted in thousands of preventable deaths during the pandemic, where he has admitted the risk was deliberately downplayed. America is the basket case of coronavirus nations. His support of the fossil fuel industry will come home to roost, American shale oil producers are drowning in debt.

Dr. Samuel Johnson said patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. I guess whether one admires or loathes Trump comes down to the values they hold dear.

Newspapers in the UK don't come much more right wing than the DT.
