President-elect Biden is speaking. A great speech. A true American leader.
Joe Biden is ready to declare that “not even an abuse of power” can stop a peaceful transition of power in the U.S. after last month's election — a swipe at President Donald Trump's refusal to accept defeat and at the top Republicans who have continued to stand by him.

...as he drops doodies in his Depends....you wackos are comical.
That was Rudy-tooty two weeks ago.
No, that was hair dye....Sleepy is dropping a lot more than hair dye into his panties.....
Trump is gone, and thankfully so.
However bad Biden might be, he'll be better than Trump.
Not for those of us who depend on our jobs to support our families and your SNAP bennies doofus.
Oh look, another fat welfare hillbilly crying because his orange god got his ass kicked.
Who is crying? You are the ones who elected the dementia patient who wears two diapers.
Trump was a dreadful mistake and a dreadful president, the worst in US history.
Good riddance.
I had thought George W. Bush, since he got so many killed and started the middle east wars lasting into two generations, but NO. He did not assault the American way of constitutional rule or attempt a coup against the government and it's constitutional free election process. He truly is the worst president in living history, if not the history of the United States. He always wanted to be number
#1 and he actually achieved it.
Public Enemy #1. As you said,
good riddance. His ignominy will undoubtedly last forever.
People live in the moment, it is in our nature. As a direct result of this, the current president is almost always the 'worst' or 'best' one in history. You know it is almost always utterly false. FDR did FAR more to attack our constitutional protections. Andrew Jackson is responsible for one of the most atrocious events in our history. We have the trail of tears, we have Japanese interment camps, we have the McCarthy witch hunt to name a few off the top of my head. Trump is nothing but bloviation in the face of some of the things we have faced in history. It is just a matter of bloviating in the present vs some words in a history book.
And using the court is not an coupe against the free election process. It is a legal and constitutional process. The silly nature and zero chance of success does not suddenly make it a coupe, it just makes it dumb.
Just because method is legal, does not make it a righteous thing to do.
Where did I say righteous? Did I even allude to it being good?
Nope. You mentioned a coup. My point is that it is not a coup. You mentioned an attack. It is not an attack.
It is a legal and authorized means of challenging results that you think are not fair. That he is wrong does not suddenly make legal and authorized challenges a coup.
Overthrowing the election would be a shitty end to democratic representative government and would have destroyed the country as we know it.
That may be but that is also not what is occurring. The
ONLY way he overthrows the election is if the election actually was stolen by Biden. If there actually was overt and directed cheating by his campaign. in that case, Trump would be RESTORING democracy.
As that is NOT the case, the election will not be overturned. The hyperbole about it ending our democracy is just that, hyperbole.
You are stating a philosophic position based on knowing the outcome, as it has already occurred. Trump is stupid and hires stupid people. Someone someday may actually pull it off and overthrow free elections. We must recognize the possibility and be on guard to denounce treachery of the powerful or fall pray to it's excess and destructive nature.
No, I am actually stating the very real process and results that actually are happening. It is you that are stating a philosophic position of what if he manages to actually overthrow a valid election result. That is a position that is very much
not happening and as such is just philosophical nonsense. My statements refer to what is happening in real time right now, a president that is using a legal process set up to protect our elective process to challenge a valid result and losing miserably directly because the result is valid. Trump has lost virtually every single case that has come fourth and with extreme clarity. The only damage Trump is doing here is that his sycophantic followers are losing trust in a system that is clearly working. However, Trump is a symptom of a grater problem, one where a significant portion of the nation feels unrepresented in the nations government, rather than the cause. It is that feeling that elected Trump in the first place and, to be perfectly honest, would remain even if Trump was capable of stepping aside in a gracious way.
The problems with our elective system are not because Trump is acting like a child, they are not because Trump will not concede and they are not even because Trump is challenging the result. The problem with our elective system is that the ruling class does not serve the people but rather serves special interests and elites.
