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.

My biggest heartbreak remains in trying to understand the 70 million voters who supported him, and whose voices cannot and should not be ignored. I am not American, I am not there, I cannot feel their pain, I do not understand. But I am choosing to believe, give or take some cultish new born Christians and white supremacists, that the majority of moderate Republicans were voting Republican and not Trump. His wholly unpalatable and unhinged conduct in the last few days (and in the days to come most likely) must have been the icing on the cake. I cannot imagine the machinations amongst senior Republicans now, their stark choice is to disavow Trump and save their party or be drowned in the tide of reconciliation. I think it would save time if they just cut out the middleman and just drove him in the taxpayer-provided, bulletproof limo straight to a state penitentiary. It is ironic, but likely, that he will be hung out to dry by his own party not unlike Boris, imminently

[quote PerkingFaintly]I've just been listening to the Hallelujah that you posted on the last thread, lionheart, while watching live footage of the celebrating crowds in the streets of American cities, and I'm absolutely gone now.

Sobbing and sobbing.

(So much that I posted on the wrong thread to start with!)

That's gorgeous, Perking.

Hello Natsku.

@MagicoRomantico

It seemed so close at first, I was scared Trump was going to win. Can anyone answer if this is considered a resounding victory? I think I read Biden flipped all the states that Trump won from Hilary but Trump didn't flip any states.

Once Biden got beyond 270 Electoral College votes, it was all over.

Trump is not going to go easily. Don't know what US can do if he causes mayhem. Awful undignified idiot, but that is why he was booted out.

Didn't see many rednecks on the back of their flatbed trucks fully armed and toting themselves around with glee with the Confederate flag today. Just saw people happy to be rid of the Pumpkin.

I hope the radical reds are not storing it up for the future.

I am so glad I don't have to deal with his lies and conspiracy.

I hope everything will improve and and finally a woman VP!

Agree, awful to think 70 million people voted for Trump. NRA/anti abortion/staunch republicans would be a fair number??

[quote lionheart]Oh Perking I love that song and so many covers of it.

But one of my strongest memories from the past four years was just after the last election when Kate McKinnon performed the song on SNL.

It seemed fitting then and now.

[/quote] I cried buckets when I watched that 4 years ago. I hope Kate is back with a song tonight.

Some of the religious fanatics were enthralled by him too.

Helloo new thread

Just saw a tweet from Lt Col Vindman's wife, Rachel. I hope the new administration can find a place for him.

The way “covfefe” serves as a shorthand for Trump’s use of Twitter, for example, or how “soon be down to zero” encapsulates his approach to the coronavirus pandemic.


I think we'll also be adding "a non-zero number" to the list of Trump-isms

It's been used in this house several times today

I can't believe the relief I'm feeling. Not to have the toxic misery and hatred filtering through every single damn day from him.

I don't know if this has already been posted but I LOVE this:

I wonder what Trump's spiritual advisor is doing now.
So very relieved for America and the world.

He's not going to go quietly is he? What happens if he refuses to accept defeat?

Natsku, how the hell are you?!

Hope you and your family (inc bro) are keeping well. You were in my thoughts this week, as it happens.

Sorry I'm new to the threads so I'm sure this has been shared before, but just in case not...

I don't know if you saw this gem.

Finally here to say WOOOOO.

Would have been here earlier but have been drinking champers with equally happy friends.

On the way there we drove past people shouting and whooping and holding up BIDEN-HARRIS signs to get there, and it was lovely.

Now enjoying just breathing easily.

I literally just pmkd the last thread the celebrations are so emotive. I’m so happy for the US today.

Hellooooo HoldMyLobster.

Also thank you to everyone for these threads. For the numbers, and the jokes, and the warmth, and the support, and everything.

@Zixxy

Have to say the choice of music accompanying those celebrating is dire.

But it's great to see a bit of joy in the US of A at long last.

Thanksgiving will be good for many this month.

Actually Thanksgiving might cause an uptick in cases. Not so good

Is Trump toxic? Yes. Misogynistic? Yes. Racist? Yes.

Do we need to mock his speech impediment to gloat he lost the election? No.

You sound to me as toxic and hateful as he is. Shame on you.

Didn't see many rednecks on the back of their flatbed trucks fully armed and toting themselves around with glee with the Confederate flag today. Just saw people happy to be rid of the Pumpkin.

BBC just now were reporting Trump supporters protesting. Some heavily armed and part of the 'Boogaloo Boys militia or something.

Natsku, how the hell are you?!

I'm fine thanks, my brother is alright too for the most part. What a coincidence, this week I've been thinking of you all but did not have the focus to find the thread. This week has been nail biting, but at last we can breathe a sigh of relief.
