My favorite photo today!
I watched a video about her earlier. It hasn't really sunk in how historic this part is, just so relieved to be rid of Trump.

So sounds as if Bojo knows that his worm is turning.

I'm really going to have to educate myself on UK politics now. It's only fair since you all supported us so strongly for the last 4 years. Up until now I've dipped in my toes but have been so preoccupied with our own headaches that I've only had half a mind to devote to it.

Woken up in Australia to this brilliant news. Happy happy day. It has been such a long 4 years.was saying to DH how hard it has been to see someone who is clearly a predator of women elevated to this position. My senses have been screaming danger for 4 years.

Hi. Just dropped into your thread to share a few whoop whoops from another here in England!
I am so happy for you all and hopeful for the future. I can't seem to post fizz so have some Flowers

@Willowkins

Across the thing is that a no-deal Brexit means we need a trade deal with, well everyone really. I was never convinced we'd get that with Trump anyway as he seems quite capricious. Is Biden likely to turn us down? If so, then the people who want his job could use that to force a leadership election (that is Conservative Party stays in power but he is replaced) but I think it would take a lot more than that (breakdown of food chain, civil unrest say) to cause a vote of no confidence.
Honestly, I think that Biden is going to be eager to re-build those international bridges that Scrotus so gleefully burnt down, or tried to. So I'd say that yes, he'd be more than willing to work out a trade deal.

Look at me, planning a happy future of international cooperation between the US and other countries!

Michelle Obama in response to Van Jones's tears on CNN:
"Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years."

As always, what a class act!

I wonder which poor sap had to lose to him today?

Video:
President Trump finishes up his round of golf—which in the middle of, Joe Biden was declared the winner of #Election2020.

After finishing the round, he stopped to take photos with a bride getting married at the club today.

I'd be wary of thinking Biden will play happy families with anyone who would toss the Good Friday Agreement into the sea without a second thought for the effect it would have on Northern Ireland.

To be fair, I have NEVER paid as much attention to our elections as I have to this one! (Although Brexit possibly came close...) When it comes to UK politics I probably know as much as you Grin

I do wish the media could have held back just for half an hour just so we could have really appreciated the bizarre spectacle of Trump's finest legal brains (and Rudi Guiliani) holding their press conference in a garden landscaping yard in the rough end of Philly

I'm praying you're right, Across.

Across I said up there ^^ that I think this marks the beginning of the end of the collective madness that has seized both sides of the Atlantic.

Grown ups are coming back into rooms.

SomeSmotheringDreams · 07/11/2020 20:01

The real hero of this election is CNN's John King. The man is a machine. He doesn't appear to sleep, eat or pause to breathe. So well informed, it's been an absolute pleasure watching him.

Next to an adult bookshop. Let us not forget the appropriateness of the juxtaposition of Guiliani and dodgy adult bookshop. Grin

That’s so funny.

He walked across the lie of his ball on the green.

Fucking amateur.

I still just don't get what the hell that location was all about.

@RedToothBrush

First lady Melania Trump is not expected to make any sort of public statement or comment today, neither in support of her husband’s efforts to challenge Joe Biden’s win, nor to acknowledge the Biden victory, a White House official tells CNN.

Behind the scenes, she has been "keeping to herself," and she has not engaged in any strategy sessions with other Trump family members or senior administration officials, a source with knowledge of Trump’s activities tells CNN.

She's in Florida still isn't she?

Bitch has packed her bags, checked out and is back in the arms of you know who lol!

Sure as hell, I'd rather Michelle runs for President than any of Trumps spawn.
Tellmetruth4 · 07/11/2020 20:09

Congrats from England. Four days of anxiety and poor sleep. Bolsanaro had a match ready to light up the Amazon as soon as Trump got back in. Phew.

Four years of anger, rage, encouraging spite and grievances, divisiveness and promoting stupidity.

Time for adult leadership. The world needs it.

[/quote] Watching that, I wonder if it is too subtle for Trump to realise that Biden intends to do the exact opposite of everything Trump "achieved" during his presidency?

@AcrossthePond55

I just want to offer a deep and heartfelt 'thank you' to all our international friends, the regulars on these threads and those who lurked or dipped in and out. You have held our hands, prayed with and for us, and most importantly stood by and defended us during this nightmare four years. I don't think you all realize what a source of love and strength you've been, not just to me, but to all the US citizens who have hung our heads in shame at what he make us appear as to the world.

"Hands and hearts across the water

Love to you. There's more that joins us, than divides us.

I’m not as up on the ins & outs of Melania’s private life. What’s the story there, Across?
