Even Pence has showed more fire than Biden. No one will ever remember one word Biden uttered from his bumbling speech.

Didn't think the speech was any great shakes.

The tone of it was about right though - IMO.

But it certainly wasn't time for fire.

Also.

The second biggest cnut in politics is now trying to curry some favour with Biden.

Shameless cretin that she is.

It is tough to figure out who is 2nd worst but I'd say you could be right. It's very competitive at the top these days.

Shows you how cowardly they are - they'll only speak out when it's basically all over.

So the prophecy has came true. Trump is a fascist who tried to overthrow the government and grab power. But what of those who have hooked up to him even though they were told? What about those fascists? Farage, Paisley, Wilson, IDS, Jacob Rees Mogg? Surely now people must see them for what they are..

I wouldn't worry. He'll be wise to it.

By denying democracy and effectively trying to thwart it by any means Trump is veering very closely into coup territory,  He mightn't have the military behind him but he's still hoping for the same outcome - preventing a democratically elected leader from taking up his rightful position.  Very dangerous times for the US.
That's just, like your opinion man.

Nothing to worry about here - Trump has promised on orderly transition - but he still disagrees with the outcome of the election  :o

You would hope that this would shake the GOP and the US right out of their Trump-addled stupour, but this shit runs far deeper than him and his pathetic narcissism. They've nurtured and cultivated this culture of baseless grievance, bigotry and anti-intellectualism for decades, and now it may be out of their control. They might jettison Trump and return to the dog whistles, but the idiocy they've created is not going anywhere.

Wonder was it all a big cover for his land sale to the huge Oil companies which were previously Nature Reservations.

Trump expressed his "love" for his MAGA mob yesterday.

Meanwhile, back in the summer, he tweeted this:

Biden is going to have his hands full trying to mitigate and undo Trump's assault on environmental and ecological protections.

Should be a wee bit more doable with the Senate, but there's probably only so much he can do.

Some major banks have vowed not to fund ventures such as drilling in ANWR, but it's going to take a lot more than that.

Not a single one of those people will give a fcuk.

The gushing they do about 'democracy' is bullshit

These guys would ditch democracy in a millisecond if they thought

a)
It would get them into power

and

b)
They could get away with it
