He can thcream and thcream until he’s sick but the US has taken its future back (Trump thread #112)

They’ve only been and gone and done it.

Even Trump couldn't get some things done

I'm surprised he got anything done.
And by done, I mean mostly destroyed. His purpose seems to have been to remove legislation and ruin people's lives.

Of course everyone is celebrating him going out.

It will be like the end of Independence Day.

Biden is a Seamus Heaney fan:

'History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.'

From Michael Spicer, of "The Room Next Door" fame.

Interesting analysis

Iron Economist
Its amazing how common the view is that large turnout is good for progressives in the US election. While I am pretty certain Biden will win, its worth pointing out that in pretty much every anglo saxon country the median voter is to the right of the political centre.

I’m allowing myself a hour of schadenfreude and smugness this morning. I will seek forgiveness later.

“BUH BYE TRUMPERS”...

I hadn't read that Atlantic article. But AA expresses all of my concerns. 100%.

Oops, sorry for the duplication, @TheNorthWestPawsage

Michael Spicer deserves the exposure Jaichangecentfoisdenom

SNL

Following from how a high turn out may lead to the right.
Autocensorship rising.

(Possibly due to the climate of polarisation and adversaries as enemies climate? I do wonder if the trend reflects how polls are made and targeted.)

I genuinely can't remember, in my lifetime, headlines saying that countries all round the world are celebrating the election of a new President of the USA. Yet today, we have them! thehill.com/homenews/campaign/524962-fireworks-in-london-church-bells-in-paris-as-biden-win-celebrated-abroad To be fair, they are more likely celebrating seeing the back of Trump.

TBF - Saturday night after bonfire night is always going to have fireworks going off!!

Jared is very likely to be the fall guy, Trump will never admit that the real problem with the campaign was the central candidate.
Ivanka is going to have to make a hard choice...

Just watched KH & JB on the news, totally blubbed which prompted a discussion with DS aged 9 about race/woman/being the best you can.

There will be some unseemly scrambling for book deals going on, I believe Brad Parscale already has one in the pipeline.
I'm hoping for one from the current inner circle who will finally clear up the truth behind the Four Seasons Landscaping press conference

I am getting more than fed up with my Trump friends on social media who are all doing their but saying “the media don’t call the election”.

Delurking after folowing these threads and the trump soap opera since the beginning.
I think there is a collective trauma on all sides of the political spectrum. Everyone is scared of losing their way of life and have been for a long time now and are trying harder and harder to retreat into the things that make them feel safer.

No one has won throughout the last 4 years.

Hopefully everyone will take a deep breath and start working together to make things work now. Biden isn't brilliant but has a strong record of being able to work with others. That's what is needed to help the healing.

Like others I've started sleeping more deeply and am letting go of a level of background stress that has been constant for years.

Thank you to all the intelligent and knowledgeable posters who have patiently and consistently taken time to explain and discuss it all. It's been a place of sanity in an insane world

Wow the fireworks!

This is great.
'Rosa sat, so Ruby could walk, so Kamala could run'

Just love the pictures

Just in case anyone wants to watch the whole speech(es) it's being replayed on CNBC in a few minutes

TBF - Saturday night after bonfire night is always going to have fireworks going off

Well exactly, for goodness sake

That SNL Cold Open is the only concession speech we'll get, I'm guessing.

Just watched Kamala's speech, brilliant speech, got a bit teary eyed. Anyone know if there are transcripts of the speeches somewhere about to read? I find it hard to focus on videos so prefer to read.

Laughing so hard at the #fourseasonslandscaping hashtag on Twitter

Is Trump still blabbing on twitter( I don’t follow) or has he stfu
