You know who is genuinely happy? Not just "anti Trump happy", is entities like Boeing. They are the ones partying right now in their mansions, and for good reason. 

Anti-Trump: Boeing "the greatest company in the world."?

Well, we'll see if he makes it through the whole four years, if he is confirmed as winning.

 

I'm not sure how they can keep him in a basement or away from media if he is actually president.  I guess he will either find a new lease of life somehow, make it through four years of being bumbling and doddery but somehow it gets ignored, or he'll have to step down at some point due to ill health.  The right will only be able to say "I told you so", nothing will ever come of it.

 

We'll just have to wait and see.

If they only could put a age limit to run for a president, so they would not be older than 70 if they finish off 8 years. That could be something to think off?

Winner hasn't actually been confirmed yet.  Just the press are saying Joe won.  A lot of suspected election fraud going on.  Need to wait until litigation has completed and the result has been certified.

 

Need to wait for official result.

 

Edit: If you're so sure that Biden has won fairly, you should be fine for a recount and full investigation into possible voter fraud.  If you have a problem with recounts or investigations into voter fraud, then you probably don't care about democracy and only care that Trump lost.

Where the margin is close thr state do revounts. And last time I checked the Trump campaign had launched 5 suits and not one of them alleged fraud. Does that tell you anything?

"Finding inspiration" lol enough said, really. 

I am not denying it was plagiarism. I am just saying it was 1988 and that worse things happen. He copied parts of the British Labour leaders speech. He paid the price. But he kept fighting and here he is.

[bannork]

Wonderful news. I can't recall in my lifetime any Western leader being as downright crass and unpleasant as Trump.

All when they all wake up the following day only the top names will have changed.

It's all just politics.

What on earth does "1988" have to do with anything? He was a professional politician. He was not in 5th grade. Would rape be ok if it was in 1988. Stop rationalizing. Just accept that the president is a complete wreck. 

 

He is here because he is a bought candidate. You seem to confuse being bought with being a fighter.

Off-topic, inflammatory, troll posts and posts with false information have been reported and removed.  One person has been removed.   If you post false or misleading information, you will receive a ban.

I was referring to the businesses in DC who boarded up their windows anticipating rioting for the election. Have there been riots? No. It would lead me to believe the businesses feared the liberals. 

Yeah, it was clear what you meant.

Yeah, minor. Rationalize away.

 

Plagiarism is actually a crime. Doing it multiple times is multiple crimes. Doing it in front of the entire world and not thinking you will get caught, for some odd reason, is not a crime but it is downright telling? Who on earth, pick anyone you can think of, thinks they could give a speech in front of the world and copy a Kennedy speech? 

 

This should be 100% career ending, but we are who we are as Americans. We are not "forgiving" we are just plain stupid.

Yes.  The dancing in the streets is for Trump losing, they don't know/care about who they elected or what he will do for their country.

 

Seems like a win for their "team" but a loss for democracy.

Do you understand that Biden offered a detailed plan that included increased financial support for social security, increased financial support for Obamacare, increased support for creating alternative energy infrastructure...etc? Whereas Trump never offered a straight answer even to friendly interviewers like Hannity and Bartiromo?

Biden will raise taxes, that is bad for business. Watch the stock market react.

[mfd101]

And the entertainment isn't over yet. Will the Supreme Court prove to be part of the universal Democrat conspiracy? Will Melania put poison in the sandwich nibbles? Will Trump confuse the swearing-in with a golf course? ...

 

Seen from outside, as a non-Usofan, what strikes me is how rightwing just about ALL US politics is. In the rest of the Western world Biden would be considered a rightwinger!

Absolutely, I am fine with recounts and investigations into voter fraud.  A number of meritless complaints have already been thrown out of court.  And recounts rarely change the state totals by more than a few hundred votes.  In the courts you have to have evidence unlike social media where you can say any plausible BS.

In a way it is all just politics.  But not this time.  Trump was toxic.  Biden isn't.  Trump divided America.  Biden will try to bring others together.  If you've done any research into Biden, that's what he's al about. 

 

Time for people to stop treating politicians like rock stars.  They work for us, we don't work for them.

It is a wonderful world.  Too bad so many fell for Trump and his use of fear to try and win the election.  Life is pretty good....as soon as we can deal with this virus!

You are probably one of the last people on earth who does not know Biden is bought. 

 

What happened to rationalizing and defending the plagiarism? Gave up on that one? I don't blame you. 

 

I got one for you all, I could be wrong, call me out.... 

 

Name me one president or major politician who has blatantly, word for word, plagiarized multiple speeches. Oh, you can't? Right. That is because that is behavior that simply never happens, that is off the deep end. The only way you can come back from something like that: corporate backing. Now THAT, Biden is very good at.

You think that copying speeches is a forgivable mistake at these levels. Ok, fine. But I just have much much higher standards than that... I wont accept a candidate that says word for word what others have said in a sad attempt to gain popularity from past powerful speeches. What could drive such a person to do this? Thinking they can't inspire with their own words perhaps? 

Lucky you dont support trump then, fraud on his charities, universities, bankruptcies, paying porn stars, bragging about secually assaulting women etc.

 

Who did you vote for, mickey mouse?

You are just making stuff up. You haven't provided proof regarding being beholden to corporate interests so I'll leave it there.

In terms of the plagiarism I'll say it again.

I agree that he did it and it's not good. He made a mistake and paid the price. In 1988.

Comparing rape and plagiarism is in my mind ridiculous. To plagiarise a speech is lazy and silly but to my mind not earth shatteringly bad. I think most people would concur. 

You are picking one mistake he made and ignoring the 1000's of lies, that have much worse implications than a plagiarised speech, from Trump.
