I just don't see any reason he should have had the fireside chat. It's not like he needs to call Trump names on the way out the door, but to pretend that there's any kind of respect from Trump to the Democrats, that's just more of the same b******* that got the Democrats here in the first place. The fact is that Donnie and his hooligans don't give a damn about human decency.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Legacy?
This is his and the parties legacy. They made this. it's a direct result of how first the governed, and then campaigned.
Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.
Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.
same with harris congratulating him. they just can't get over that "we have to be better than them".
This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn't. Maybe even more better.
It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?
Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.
Who cares at this point, they're already ruthlessly mocked, and it's not like they lost a bet, they're handing the keys to the nation over to a massive fire that plans on destroying the country for monetary gain. Fuck em.
It's easier when you're a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.
Wake up babe, new "this is fine" just dropped
Biden could always have him [official business]ed.
Act*
And how wild would that be? Biden shows up, shakes Trump's hand, then garrotes him. What happens next?
I just thought the headline by the guardian and the photo they chose of smiling Biden was hilarious. It made me LOL. Could've been an onion headline?
And this wonderful line: "The last meeting of these men, combined age 159, in effect ended Biden’s political career....."
Lol...
Be a shame if someone accidentally dropped some polonium in trump's big Mac.
His legacy? Try his country.
Indeed. No one gives a flying fuck about any politician's "legacy". How about some concern for the future of this country, FFS.
Democrats: "we are the only thing standing against fascism"
Reality: *democrats standing with fascism*
Pushes glasses Well, actually, they're sitting. Nay, maybe even laying??? IN BED?!? HOLDING HANDS!!! >:0 /s
Good headline 😀
You have one party led by a Nazi, you have a Nazi party.
If you have one party led by a Nazi, and the other party invites and allows "peaceful" talks, you have two Nazi parties.
Trump is a Nazi, acting like you're just doing your job of transition of power means you're handing the keys to the Nazis.
'If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.' There's a real Christian in this picture.
at this point, I'm guessing he must be glad his legacy in the middle east will be fulfilled.
is that bismarck? look a lot like it.
Quality article. What a headline. Spicy callouts. Great contrasting.
