President Bush's comments:
“I just talked to the President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden. I extended my warm congratulations and thanked him for the patriotic message he delivered last night. I also called Kamala Harris to congratulate her on her historic election to the vice presidency. Though we have political differences, I know Joe Biden to be a good man, who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country. The President-elect reiterated that while he ran as a Democrat, he will govern for all Americans. I offered him the same thing I offered Presidents Trump and Obama: my prayers for his success, and my pledge to help in any way I can.
I want to congratulate President Trump and his supporters on a hard-fought campaign. He earned the votes of more than 70 million Americans – an extraordinary political achievement. They have spoken, and their voices will continue to be heard through elected Republicans at every level of government.
The fact that so many of our fellow citizens participated in this election is a positive sign of the health of our democracy and a reminder to the world of its strength. No matter how you voted, your vote counted. President Trump has the right to request recounts and pursue legal challenges, and any unresolved issues will be properly adjudicated. The American people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair, its integrity will be upheld, and its outcome is clear.
The challenges that face our country will demand the best of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris – and the best of us all. We must come together for the sake of our families and neighbors, and for our nation and its future. There is no problem that will not yield to the gathered will of a free people. Laura and I pray for our leaders and their families. We ask for God’s continued blessings on our country. And we urge all Americans to join us in wishing our next President and Vice President well as they prepare to take up their important duties.”

It's good to know you two guys are praying for Mr. Trump.

I was really uninterested in the man that GWB is when he contributed to the "systemic racism" narrative in the wake of the Floyd incident.

I'm so old I remember when anybody who criticised the Iraq war as Trump has done was branded a traitor.

Yes, that was when they realized they could do to Trump what they did to Trump.
And as long as they all hung together they didn't hang separately.

I too recall that epithet being cast about. Quite frequently I might add.

I was for the Iraq war. I still think it was necessary. Saddam was stuffing people into crusher/grinders and feeding the meat to the victim's family, grabbing innocent women on the street, gang raping them, and then killing the ones who lived through it. But the Iraq war was over in a couple of weeks. I do not and never did support the nation building nonsense the occurred after the actual war had been won.

I haven't changed my mind about Iraq. Or Afghanistan.
And there will be no honeymoon. My fervent hope is for a Special Counsel to investigate Biden's influence peddling.

Special Counsel
Assuming the GOP holds the Senate, can that happen?
Because, if they don't, it's not going to happen.

I think it can.
No Republican has lost a Senate race in Georgia, since the statement red. Chances of both guys losing in the runoff are astronomical...But you'll still have the thieves of Fulton County piling ballots...
