They’ve only been and gone and done it.

Thanks for the new thread.

I expect we will see grace and dignity from Biden's forthcoming speech.

I'm surprised we haven't seen tweeting from Trump - someone's probably hidden his phone from him....

Ha this is brilliant! Journo telling Trump supporter to fuck off live on air...

Great title!

As an aside, one of my takeaways from being immersed in CNN endlesslyfor72hours was the realisation that, the very minute it was declared for Biden, the gloves were off, following no doubt gritted-teeth restraint up until that point. For Brits, its still noticeable when commentators are nudging partisan, and the dawn of realisation that we were now seeing 4 years of payback by the media was absolutely delicious. 😬 (I did see some Fox News for balance but I could not suspend my disbelief for more than 60 seconds at a time )

Is anyone else utterly shattered now that we can relax? I am worried I won’t be able to stay up for Joe’s speech

Kayleigh fucking hypocrite McNinny retweeting about "cure for covid" over pictures of celebrating crowds and asking why Biden isn't speaking out against Superspreader events in his name

@TheNorthWestPawsage

Actually the Van Jones link should be at the top of this thread. No further words are necessary.

Agree, he expressed the feelings of most right thinking people, and it was so moving coming from a man. Sorry to generalise as I said on the previous thread, but it did make a big difference to me anyway that a man could show his feelings and relief like that.

I need to contact this person, would anyone know how to do that? Not to stalk but to congratulate him. He deserves a lot of credit for spilling tears as we all did today, but he did it on CNN prime time. Brilliant to see it.

Hope springs eternal.

I'm putting the trump voters down to Stockholm syndrome. Which is charitable.

Just here for the after party.

God I'm just sooo relieved...

Janey is on it like a car bonnet, I literally cannot wait for her next outing. I like to think it will be a wee girls chat between Honey and Melania 😬

You can follow him on Twitter, I have! And you are able to message him on there if you have an a/c

Welcome to the light side of the Trump era.

I cried watching Van.

Anyone else suspect Trumpy will give a press conference at exactly the same time as Biden tonight?

I just have a feeling

I was thinking this earlier, the tone is so completely different to a couple of days ago. It's so refreshing.

Trump not coming out to play today...

The White House has issued what is called a “travel/photo lid”, which means we will not hear from Trump today.

Biden, meanwhile, is expected to give remarks this evening at 8 p.m. Eastern, as the president-elect.

@Wherrsmaclickypen oh yes! Will be checking her youtube tomorrow

A couple of days old, but if you haven't read Marina Hyde's take on the tempter tantrum that Trump's currently having, this is worth a read:

There may still be reasoned and incisive tweets of course.

Thank god.

So how much has he paid the hit man?

Thank you Roussette.

I don't have a twitter account as I had a bad experience with it a while ago.

But I might try again. Just for the hope and encouragement and honesty that man showed us all. Well those who appreciate it!

I could always email CNN I suppose and try that way.

So delighted! What a brilliant week this has been! I've just said to DH that I think this is one of my most favourite 'news events' - the week where we stayed up almost round the clock mainlining CNN!

It wouldn't have been the same without the camaraderie on this thread, thanks everybody! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🥳

Trump has always said that America is/was lucky to have him as their president.
Maybe he'll decide they don't deserve him any more and go off and play all the golf he's missed. 7 days a week.

LBC reporting that Trump is going after the Electoral College WTAF?

For the faithless voters one presumes. But that is not permissable anymore I think via Supreme Court ruling. Anyone know? This is becoming ridiculous now.

This is not going to end soon is it?

And breathe, sleep, dream ...

Thank you North for the new thread.

It's been lovely to see so many new posters, old posters, lurkers and people of goodwill coming together to mark these days.
