i agree, but the image of the rejection of trumpism and having a multiculti vice president is very strong. for w/c americans, biden's election will result in small but not-insignificant improvements (i predict).

what should be kept in mind is that trumpsim lived on a terrain of image and goonery, not substance. the racialist violence didn't start during the past four years, and won't end now, but trump legitimated it, and that legitimation has been rejected with this election. today we're seeing rightwingers melting down who liked to accuse "liberals" of being "snowflakes" who melt down. that's an invaluable corrective.

The country is still pretty much 50:50 divided. Let's not forget that. They may not have their leader, but those Trump supporters still exist and aren't going anywhere.

Is there an accepted version of events that lead to the legal presser being at the out of town Homebase? Was it really a fuckup with the hotel?!

 

[Ax^]

I didn't say that, but many friends seem totally unaware of some of the shit that went on under Obama. Let's have a bit of realism.

or the stuff that happen under bush, Clinton , bush sr

posted this stuff and related videos else were but might be interesting for you to watch

Common i know biden is not bernie but surely you can manage a little smile

No. The joy of seeing Trump defeated is ruined by the spectre of Biden and the rotten party and politics he represents winning. And they did Sanders in

It's funny in the UK (or at least in Romford) cause the telly's just yanks celebrating and there's loads of fireworks going off outside. Nothing worth celebrating about Biden but I think most of the dancing is for Trump going anyway. The shot of his kids looking out of the windows at the White House is classic.

Sanders seemed fine about it half an hour ago on cnn.

I agree with you but celebrating the going of a white supremacist for a while seems fair enough to me.

I have no idea why people keep referring to Four Seasons Total Landscaping as a garden centre or Homebase, they are not a retailer, they are, funny enough, a landscaping company, the clue is in their name.

Interesting Trump has released a statement, but I have this image of people around him having to physically restraini him from going live and having a truly spectacular meltdown in front of the entire world.

 

[agricola]

is there a way for the republicans to get him out the way and allow pence to handle the transition? other than a godfather 2 style fishing trip with the secret service.

wouldn't he have had to mismanaged a casino, betrayed his brother and interfered with female employees for that to be an accurate analogy?

actually never mind

I think he is travelling back from the golf course to the White house, He'll be out later I reckon

Listen. Stuff (that isn't what I really want to write, trying to be less sweary) Biden.

This is anti-Trump day. Have some fucking (whoops) joy for dethroning a massive racist lying cunt (whoops again). Masses of working class people are thinking that and celebrating that. Stop being joyless nerks (some of you).

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Some poor sod is going to have to explain to Trump that all the people outside the Whitehouse aren't celebrating for him

Trump sparks confusion after announcing press conference at small landscaping firm

President initially said the briefing would be held at major hotel — before correcting himself

Just perfect

Fingers crossed they don't prevail much longer

Well, someone told him the political landscape had changed and then one thing led to another and his genius brain came up with a cunning plan.

Okay, bro, we'll get started on Biden tomorrow.

You do not have to like Biden or what he represents at all. Neither do I, and many left-Democrats and well-to-the-left-of-Democrats (as well as Trump-haters generally) don't have any time for Biden either.

BUT!!!!!!!!!

Surely? the defeat of Trump is worth, for now, today, as left-wing-minded a pint/cheers as you can find??

(I take the piss slightly there , but come on comrade! It's the weekend, etc. )

Spot on. No illusions.

Is it wrong that I assumed that guy was a Trump supporter?

No, he fully plays off that.

I think I'm celebrating the fact that today, America has dropped its cunt rating, from mental cunt, to just cunt.

Never encountered him before, so didn't realise it was a character.

 

[Cloo]

Thinking of starting a depressing poll of what atrocity one/several of Trump's supporters will do in the next two months in 'revenge' for 'stealing the election'. Eg:

• Attempt/carry out assassination of Pres or VP Elect
• Kill some poor bugger who was counting votes (my money's on this)
• Killing BLM activist/s

etc

actually seems quite genuine to me

 

[Cid]

Sorry, to be clear, it's not a character... I just mean he leans into that side of his personality. Every youtuber does it to an extent I suppose.
