    The full quote is....
    "Folks we got a lot of work to do. I don’t only need you to get me elected, I need you once I’m elected.”

    Typical BS.

    Maybe look at the true story before posting utter rubbish like this

    But the grifters they follow told them this was the quote how can they be wrong.

    You're right, not all were pathological. Still liars though.

    I would have thought that Trump would have been able, after 4 days of moaning about voter fraud, to have assembled a proper team of lawyers, and not still be wheeling his unhinged personal lawyer in front of the cameras. I bet he is struggling to find the high profile and skilled lawyers willing to take on the cases, and is short of the donations and funding to be able to pay them.....I’m guessing would cost a few tens of millions

    I generally don't gloat but after 4 years of alt right fanbois and trolls debasing political discourse with thinly disguised racism, homophobia, pathetic language like snowflake, libtard and bedwetting, it feels good to raise two progressive digits in your direction and say: suck it up losers.
    Time for them to go back under the bridge.


    I'd say America will try to quickly skip the last four years in the history books.

    I'm interested to see who Biden appoints in key Cabinet positions: Trump's flawed appointees, and how he handled them, were a telling symptom of what was wrong with his Presidency. Appointing the wrong people, not getting along with them, and having them leave under suspicious circumstances.

    For example, Omarosa Manigault Newman was let go over an allegation she and a husband used a staff car to attend a Congressional charity baseball game, something which was permitted and which many other White House Staff did. This was all ordered by Chief of Staff John Kelly, and Trump called Omarosa the next day, claiming to not know what was going on. Either he was lying about ordering her to be fired, or he genuinely didn't know and it was all down to Kelly: neither is reassuring.

    As for Kelly: he resigned in January 2019 after reportedly "not being on speaking terms" with the President. His predecessor, "Reince" Priebus, had the job for less than six months, and was a bizarre choice. He had publicly criticised Trump on multiple occasions during the 2016 campaign and reportedly read gave Trump a stern talking-to after some remarks about Mexican immigrants. In office, he ran interference for Trump on issues such as alleged links to Russia, but was accused of leaking inside information to the media and resigned.

    Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis: Secetary of Defense for three years: clashed with Trump over commitments to NATO and other allies, and the last straw was the withdrawal of American troops from Syria, leaving the Russians as the only strategic power there. John Bolton, National Securiy Advisor whose advice was largely ignored, most seriously when it came to Ukiraine; accused of leaking to the media and of misusing military aircraft (which he had to use to visit places like Afghanistan).

    In other words, I'll be looking to see who Biden appoints in key positions as indicators of how competent he will be as President. There will be limits on what he can get through Congress, thanks to a Republican Senate, but if you look at Trump's appointments in the Executive Branch and otehr Federal agencies, you can see where Trump got it wrong and where Biden needs to get it right.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Is the ridiculous Irish response to this election out of hatred for Trump or a weird love for America?

    It is frankly beyond cringe some of the stuff at this stage.

    Given that you don't care about it.

    He won't even get the nomination in 2024.




    75m votes for him.



    He'd walk it

    President Elect Joseph R Biden: Trumpslayer.

    Gotta love the smell of Schadenfreude in the evening, there will be time for healing but right now people are going to celebrate this one term orange bunker bítch getting a well deserve comeuppance. At least now we have a competent leader and someone who sympathises with Ireland and it will give Boris and co serious pause if they create alot of trouble for us over Brexit.

    I wouldn't be calling it a purely Irish response tbh. The world is celebrating. F*cking delighted.



    What's cringe is Trump accepting it and ranting like a baby.

    The world? You think people around the world care about this?

    Every person on the planet is a liar. It's a question of scale and motivation (amongst other things).
