He also said there would be a vaccine before the election. Another lie

I wonder if Biden will keep on Fauci.

He said the virus will go away on Nov 4

Paul1977: ... He’s clearly completely detached from reality, and it makes you wonder if he actually believes his own lies (does he even know what he’s saying is untrue)?

You have to ask other dictators ... I think sometimes they do sometimes they don't.

Anyway, lawsuits to be files left right and center tomorrow according to Trump ... I don't want to be too certain of his outcome until it's certain ...

Here's another dictator for you: Although no-one filmed Hitler's last days in the bunker as far as I know, there were plenty of witness accounts with other documentation and the scenes were re-created in later films from this. One that particularly struck me was Hitler moving imaginary armies around on a table as he fantasised counter-attacks and comebacks with forces that no longer existed in reality. I imagine Trump's tweets and lawsuits being something like that.

It is my hope that Biden will keep Fauci and other capable people on, and it would also be a wonderful gesture if he offered those unfairly dismissed by Trump, like Colonel Vindeman, their jobs back.

I always get confused when people say "oh America is a big place, there's no way coronavirus could be under control here, it's not like New Zealand and can't be compared.

However.

Puerto Rico is an island under the commonwealth of the US, and doesn't even have 4 million people. Yet (according to Wikipedia) they have almost 70 000 cases and nearly 900 deaths. But shouldn't it be doing even better than New Zealand?

Wait, wait...different leaders. I get it now 🙄

The problem with "capable people" is that they tend to disagree with Trump - which is intolerable to the Orange Egomaniac.

The best that we can hope for is that Biden will welcome back competent people after 20 January 2021 (should they wish to return).

Exactly the thoughts/analogy we discussed

I just love these fanatical christian republicans. They said Trump was god's choice to be president and he was gonna be re-elected. Now that he hasn't got a second term, it was because the democrats cheated and rigged the election. So that means god almighty wasn't powerful enough to stop the cheating and rigging.

This is from Trump's pastor apparently? Robert Jeffress -

“Daniel 2:21 says that ‘It is God who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings.... If President Biden succeeds, we all succeed. May God bless Joe Biden, and may God bless the United States of America."

Typical from a fully sucked-in "true believer" in the supposedly omniscient invisible man in the sky. He'd said the same thing (quoting the same passage) about Obama BTW.

If it's all "God's will", then no need to be worried about anything. Dealing with Covid? A President flirting with pure fascism? - no problem - it's out of our hands - in God's. He'll save us.

Parts of Biden's speech I didn't like were the religious bits. I know he has to cater to the (US) Christian majority, but surely the first amendment should guarantee freedom from religion - not just freedom of religion. Believe what you you want, but shut the hell up if you're talking to me and expect me to abide by some religious doctrine telling me how I should behave.

As an atheist - I get really p*ssed off when politicians push fairy tales.

I completely share your sentiment, but if the Spanish Inquisition has me in the comfy chair, I will gladly say whatever is needed to placate the less devoted inquisitor.

Apart from the fact he is a Catholic he almost has to mention religion. A black lesbian Christian has more chance of becoming US President than an atheist.

Yeah, yeah. Might get a few hundred or some votes one way or another. But won't change the results. Also they won't be able to go around five or six states - apparently the campaign has no more funds... And lawyers don't work for free.

Excellent article from the BBC's correspondent Nick Bryant about why he thinks Chump lost. Bryant has written some great articles on America and Chump in the last 4 years.
