Text of statement from President Donald Trump

Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal...

Trump is out golfing because of course he is!

 

[quartz]

Just rang my mother to tell her the good news and she said "That's great, but I'm going to miss Trump and his shenanigans."

trump will be pulling ridiculous and hateful shenanigans until he takes his final breath. And then leave instuctions to his mob family to continue his sordid legacy.

 

[caseyedwards]

Did you watch the video? I can guarantee it will cheer you up!

Conspiracy theory!

 

[DFJ]

I'm watching all of these spontaneous celebrations and note that everyone I see is wearing a mask. Smart people!!!

 

[rfisher]

I am immensely grateful to see the crowds cheering and not waving guns in the air. I feared for the later. The crowd outside the WH is getting bigger and bigger. Pity, Trump is hiding on the golf course.

I feel liberated. I feel like the majority of country is liberated. I feel like Joe’s life has prepared him for this exact position he is in. We couldn’t have asked for a kinder more empathetic person to lead the country right now.

Also, you guys...remember all the stress and worry from the primaries on? IMO, I think it was good to have that clown car number of people running. It made people feel more heard and more accepting of the primary results compared to Hillary 2016. Some Bernie or busts peeps were complaining still but it was a lot quieter and had much less traction.

Donald is a loser by his own words: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow/videos/2865896513735697

I don't think he'll make a concession speech. Ever.

The concession speech is not required. Its usually a graceful attempt to unite the country.

We know that not only can he not accept defeat, but he never wanted to unite the country.

I feel like singing this in karaoke!

Madonna - True Blue (Official Music Video)

You're watching the official music video for "True Blue" from Madonna's album 'True Blue' released on Sire Records in 1986. Buy/Stream the 'True Blue' album ...

The Washington Republicans need to start stepping away from him - McConnell especially. I notice that Pence seems to have gone into hiding - I'm sure he wants nothing to do with Trump now!!

 

[love skating]

So beyond thrilled, mostly relieved - though I am concerned about these last two months, but for today I will be singing and dancing all day long!

I gotta give thanks to Tony for keeping me from going off the ledge Tuesday night. Yes I wanted to slap you when you told us all to relax that night lol, but reading your posts and the political pundits who were confident in the win did help me remain optimistic. I still am dismayed at 70 million Americans who voted for the internet troll, but am pleased with the majority of us out there!

 

[rfisher]

IMHO, it's not just Biden who needs to try to bridge the gap in this country, but all of us. Biden cannot act like Trump and choose to denigrate and ignore those who didn't vote for him. It's going to be a challenge, but there is an opportunity.

That being said, MSNBC is already predicting Lindsey Graham to suddenly reverse course and start praising his old friend Joe.

Joe and Kamala - 8 p.m. tonight

And in all the excitement, I missed my finally an over 50% - NV 53.7 / 44.4

 

[skipaway]

The transfer at the White House on Inauguration Day will be epic, must see TV.

 

[once_upon]

Sorry - double post. Said he was leaving the US if Biden elected.

Not sure where he can go. He owes someone 500,000,000 or 750,000,000. And won't have the US government to scam.

Congratulations to President Elect Biden and first ever female Vice President Harris.

Mother won't like him being alone in a room with Kamala.

What the scene where the Secret Service is dragging him out by the heels? They need to check his pockets for the silverware.

 

[jamesy]

I am relieved and happy and so so excited to start undoing the nonsense of the last 4 years.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread, but special shoutout to @Tony Wheeler who has had to talk people off the ledge since Tuesday.

 

[ryanj07]

So, so very thrilled for Joe and Kamala!! Love seeing everyone in my city so enthusiastic. I can finally pop that champagne that’s been chilling since Tuesday evening!

 

[Cachoo]

Thank you everybody in this thread! Sometimes it was the only one I could read without h

What a relief! Bye Donald. Hope you enjoy prison.

Goodbye Ivanka, Goodbye Jared

Any chance we are going to see Trump doing a walk of shame?

 

[Susan1]

FB - More Americans just took to the streets to dance and celebrate than attended trump's inauguration.

There is a countdown to inauguration clock on FB - right now 73 days, 22 hours, 40 minutes (and seconds). Long time!

I have some super close friends that were much worse than any of you were (well, as much as you shared ). One of them is super knowledgeable in politics and trends yet he was melting down on Tuesday night so much that I had to text STFU (not abbreviated) AND GO THE F TO BED. YOU’RE ANNOYING. And then I delightfully shared the conversation all over his social media by Wednesday night.

 

[floskate]

Bojo has apparently sent his congratulations to President-Elect Biden and VP-Elect Kamala Harris. He (Boris) must be relieved to get off that fence he's been straddling all week. (I'm sure Dominic can help pull out the splinters for him.)

Any chance we are going to see Trump doing a walk of shame?

Will the crowd be yelling "You're fired!" and "Lock him up!" ?

I was glad to be here in the UK - 5 hours ahead of NYC, 8 ahead of the West coast - so had zero intention of watching anything live. Waking up on Wednesday I was disappointed to see no clear win but after reading this thread - and especially your clear comments - felt confident it would eventually be called for Biden. Thank you for that.
