What outstanding legal challenges.

Small ball.

Won't change the result.

Pathetic actually.

Read: President-elect Joe Biden's full victory speech

 

"I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me.

I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify.

Who doesn’t see Red and Blue states, but a United States."

Absolutely. Boring is the new cool!

Doddery and just more of the same. What America needs is young, forward thinking blood, not some old croon in the hotseat. He'll struggle on C19 lest he would upset the populace by completely locking down. I'll be a fan if he takes climate seriously, ups funds for NASA, takes on China, doesn't fawn over EU.

Maybe you would like trumps son to take over

The mainstream media has pronounced Biden president "BECAUSE " THE OFFICIAL RESULTS HAVE BEEN RELEASED. They havnt made the declaration based on a whim.

The official results are official, MSN is just announcing the results, as are FOX, CNN etc, 

Well to be fair not exactly. 

Networks call states when they are sure of the winner and sure that the loser has no chance to reverse it based on the size of the lead, the number of votes still needing counting and the source of the votes. 

For example it is known that mail in ballots from Philadelphia are going to be over 80 percent for Biden.

The official certification of the results happens much later in each state.

Networks don't wait for that except for exceptionally unusual cases such as Florida 2000.

Congratulations again to President elect Biden.

Have you seen the court filings, are you privy to Trump attorney's files?  LOL

Amazing speech by Kamala Harris this morning. Heartwarming words.

 

Indeed it was, and I'm so looking forward to not having to see, think and talk about trump on a daily basis. Let him fade away like a stale fart, only reappearing during the odd court appearance and mugshot.

Yes exactly. What a sense of relief in America and indeed the world. Let's be honest. That's what most of the dancing in the streets is about. We the people have with our free and democratic votes vanquished something truly horrible. Bring on the boring!

Trump can’t stay in the WH much longer, it’s forBiden.

If he wont go voluntarily it may be time for that great American tradition of the tar and feathers prior to leaving town on a rail.

It would take a hell of a lot of feathers to cover him.  ????

Would you recommend duck feathers ?

Till January 20 or he will be forcibly removed. He won't be that stupid. He knows about evicting people. It's no fun for the evictee.

[Kinnock]

I think the new Vice President will be an added bonus.  Interesting times ahead.

 

I hope she can help to heal a deeply divided country.

 

And I guess Boris will be late to the congratulatory party?

He'll be gone before that in order to get pardoned by Pence.

Considering he already did so around six hours or so ago I guess you're guess isn't very accurate.

Doesn't fawn over the EU? Let me guess, you're a Brit who's pro-Brexit? I'll bet we'll see President-Elect Biden move swiftly to restore relations with America's most important allies in the EU.

Unfortunately the UK has greatly diminished it's clout by going alone and the economic and political consequences will clearly be seen in the years to come.

A great shame, I have several Brit friends and met tons of nice people from GB.

Ah yes - my mistake.

 

But I think the Biden/Boris dynamic may not be good for UK.

 

Biden described Boris as a "kind of physical and emotional clone" of Trump.

Which is a compliment compared to what Vietor said about the congratulations 5555

Quote

 

Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council under President Barack Obama and co-host of Pod Save America, dismissed Johnson's good wishes to Biden.

"This shapeshifting creep weighs in," Vietor wrote on Twitter. "We will never forget your racist comments about Obama and slavish devotion to Trump but neat Instagram graphic."

I wish I shared your optimism but I believe when the trump base (I'm talking about the 5th Ave ever-trumpers who IMO are largely motivated by White angst/racism and misogyny) sees VP-Elect Harris they shudder, she's everything they're against; liberal, female, educated and articulate, non-white.

Congratulations Dems, soon you'll have a hawk back in the White House.

The mainstream media has pronounced him president; however, this is not official and there are outstanding legal challenges. 

But then the MSM has done everything in its power to hobble President Trump for the past 4 years and they are continuing to circumvent convention. 

What outstanding charges are there against him?

PS. I've just made that my signature and am considering having t-shirts and buttons made.

Not an Amrican but I don't envy the job Biden has to reset all the negativity of the outgoing president and I wish him luck.

 

My biggest worry is that 70 million Americans stil think Trump should be president.

Tell the people of Yemen how lucky they are to have Trump as President. And didn't Trump boast about defeating ISIL?

Yes, it is really sad that so many Americans still fawn over and adore the despicable person Trump (and his family) is.  It will be a very big gap that Biden will try to bridge.

 

Let's hope Trump goes quietly and doesn't cause any more harm in his remaining 60+ days in office.
