Michigan has certified their election results. The two democrats on the board and one republican voted to certify while another abstained. Also Pennsylvania's Supreme Court rejected Trump's appeal to block certain absentee ballots.

Isn't Cubism decadent post-modern, liberal and left-wing art? But I guess having cowboys as the subject matter cancels all that out.

Cubism is modernist, so just made the cutoff point before art became Bad.

Are there any working class BAME classical liberals?

He's been playing this game for a while. Basically give his base a show, but acting like he's on his way out. I guess now he wants to implicitly concede so things don't get too crazy and ruin a Trump 2024 run or media project.

GoblinAhFuckScary

Well. There you go. All very unceremonious really.

Was looking forward to democracy manifesting

Cecil Edwards is funnier than Trump will ever be. his comic turn will be treasured forever. Trump will be considered four years of unfunny shit

To be fair he only had 4 years.

Poor Donnie. He never did get his military parade. He loved pretending to drive trucks. Imagine how excited he would have been to get in a tank.

And he would have loved to nuke somebody (still time of course), but all he got was to drop the (so called) Mother Of All Bombs (a damp squib) on some middle of nowhere shithole, that no-one gave a fuck about.

Relative to other recent US Presidents, one of the few criticisms of Trump that surely isn't applicable is 'warmonger'.  The odds of the US dropping bombs somewhere has exponentially increased with Biden's win.

He likes pretending he's 'tough', and using the language of militarism without actually following through; he still hasn't worked out that not blowing the living fuck out of other places is actually one for the positive column.

Cuellar

The US has been killing plenty of civilians under Trump, don't worry.

Jittlebags

He also got that Iranian general killed. If that's not an act of war I don't know what is.

I'm under no illusions as to what the man is or what he's done - but if we're comparing to previous recent presidents rather than what most of us would consider reasonable, then he's got less blood on his hands in the shooting / bombing stakes than his predecessors.

He's done well to catch up by doing nothing re COVID, but I don't think that should impact the batting average.

He's killed more Americans than foreigners, surely that makes him the least patriotic president in living memory?

My understanding is that drone strikes have increased with each president, and last year Trump revoked a rule about the CIA reporting the number of strikes.

I suppose most other recent presidents have had twice the amount of time Trump had. Who knows whether Trump might have started a war if he had had a second series.

He's still got a couple of months to have a crack.  I suppose we can't rule one out yet.

What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & "Dominion".

He might genuinely not understand what allowing the GSA to issue a letter of ascertainment means. Wonder if someone told him to do it but "its meaningless, don't worry".
