Recognizing Joseph R. Biden, Jr, the 46th President of the United States

Remember when the senate is finalized who gets the last laugh. But enjoy it while it lasts as long as you understand exactly what you are doing now on all these threads.

And it truly is what matters in terms of all of Biden’s campaign promises.

The only one that really matters is from the debate "I'm going to shut down the virus!".

His popularity will drop like a rock if he doesn't make serious progress on this. He cannot claim credit for therapies nor a vaccine.

The Onion should write a headline that says “News outlets finally announce something that the population knew for the last two days”

How about 3 days ago? I literally knew 79 hours before it was announced and so did the rest of the functioning world.

Slow walk it until he moves to Minnesoooota.

Works for the FBI, after all.

Not going to lie, about 10pm Tuesday night it looked like you’d be the winner of that bet...

Yeah, but after those 4AM vote drops...

Who was the people who announced VP Biden was president elect?

Was there some official statement or what was the point at which this announcement was made?

[Catseye3]

@taiwan_girl I wondered the same thing. I think one of the major MSM announced it and it morphed like lightening from there.

I'm not disputing the ultimate result. However the official result won't be announced before 1) the states certify the results and 2) the electors vote in December.

This is what the media predict.

Some TV stations have made projections.

And then they agreed with each other.

The official statements will start to come in a few weeks.

That man is like a laboratory mouse lost in a red maze.

And there's no way Farage was interviewed since he's disappeared so far up Trump's arse

[Jolly]

I think you'll find Biden may throw Britain under the bus a lot faster than Trump.

Enjoy.

Former SecDef Gates said that when it came to foreign policy, Biden was wrong almost 100% of the time?

By Robert Gates himself:

While it is certainly fair to quote my criticisms of Joe Biden’s record on national security, fairness requires me to note for the record that those comments written in 2014 also noted that Mr. Biden was a man of genuine integrity and character. It is also worth noting that I wrote in these very pages that Donald Trump “is stubbornly uninformed about the world and how to lead our country and government, and temperamentally unsuited to lead our men and women in uniform. He is unqualified and unfit to be commander-in-chief” (“Sizing Up the Next Commander-in-Chief,” op-ed, Sept. 17, 2016).

Trust me when I say you don’t want any piece of how Robert Gates feels about Joe outside of his character.

tl;dr version: Trump is an incompetent asshole, Biden is an incompetent nice man.

Presumably he saw them as incompetent because they both disagreed with him. I do hope we're not going back to thinking that the neo-cons had it right all along. One of the few things I liked about DJT was his reluctance to bomb the shit out of brown people.
