Biden is President elect

Lemon, pay attention to what I'm saying in my posts. Nothing to do with not liking the UK. Drop that idea, that's not the fake news. Jeez.

However, its a lot to do with the daft idea that there were votes cast in the names of people who were over 100 years old and were actually dead. Incorrect, not true, fake. Just like the assertion that Harris hates the US and that there are grounds for Biden to go to prison.

And why this obsession with there only being one post? GNHQ asked us to stop posting fake news as if it was fact. They didn't suggest how many posts were like that. One is too many.

There are none so blind

The ‘obsession’ as you call it, for one post is simply that! One post out of how many? Yes, one post too much indeed but it
Hasn’t continued has it? There are no other posts after that that are lies/ fake news or whatever you wish to call it.
So all the push me/ pull you outrage going on now isn’t necessary.That’s why I suggested upthread ( pity that nobody paid any attention to that!) that it’s time this thread moves on.
Jeez.

Shrub .
Counting chickens before they are hatched ????

Well go on then, move it on.

Ah yes, Algerias I see...one post on page nine from an American poster. That’s it.

biba it was a suggestion to move on before it descends into the usual you know what.

Fennel there may have been some mistakes/ irregularities/ voter fraud ( be amazing if there wasn’t) and there were errors with the software that attributed 9,000 votes to Biden that were really for Trump in one State, but that was corrected.
Even with all the re-counts and check ups, it would be very surprising if the Biden win was overturned though, there are just too many votes to make that possible by the sounds of it.
It was close, but Biden won fair and square I am sure.

I attempted to......

I sincerely hope that there will be no mass violence in the US
Over this, there is certainly a lot of anger by many who voted for Trump there ( much like Brexit here....a close outcome)
Of course DT could do much to counter that by putting out a message of calmness to them ( but am guessing he won’t).
If he stops tweeting it would be a good start.

Fox News is culpable imo. It is watched by Trump supporters and could do much to calm things as well as point out the lies and myths on social media, but it doesn’t. Murdoch sticky fingers once again.

This Sub-human sits in the House of Lords.

John Kilclooney tweeted

“What happens if Biden moves on and the Indian becomes President......”

This will be seen by America.

And we wonder why they think of us as they do?

Why do some Americans worry so much about socialism and losing their freedom? We have a National health service and most people in the UK think it’s great and would hate to lose it. We certainly don’t think we’ve lost our freedom by not having to fork out vast sums for medical procedures or by having allowances for people who need them. We also consider ourselves a free country. In my view that freedom would be curtailed if I had to worry about people carrying guns around with them everywhere- I would be afraid to go out. Biden and Harris are not left wing- as someone said up thread they are something like our moderate Tories. They just aren’t hard right like Trump & his cronies. I find them far more frightening!

He has history. He previously referred to the then Irish PM Leo Varadkar as a “typical Indian” Yet, still he’s allowed to turn up at the House of Lords and claim his £300 a day attendance fee.

Biden has begun to tackle Covid. Urging everyone to wear a mask. What a difference!

I see Trump is lashing out and sacked his Defence Secretary.

We are slowly, at long last, moving in the right direction.

Apparently they are expecting Trump to lash out further and sack others.

He's still President, and seems to be able to do what he likes.
Pre-arranging support in the Supreme Court, and he might even have the Senate in his favour.

white coats? Straight jacket - coming up.

Hope they have taken his nuke them all button off him.

There is a lot wrong with the electoral system in the UK, but one thing I do like is that on election day, or the next day, it is quite usual for a furniture van to park out side 10 Downing Street.

I see the racist Lord has compounded his remark by making an apology by saying he called her an Indian because he didn’t know her name..

God spare us from these people!

WWM It was clearly beyond his wit to call her a woman.

Why didn't he call Trump 'The German' and Biden 'The Irish' - or Johnson 'The Turk' whilst he was at it unbelievable- he should be severely dealt with.

And while we are waiting for the official sanctions we can just refer to him as the wanker.

He could have called her the "Vice President Elect", which is what she is of course.

That would have stuck in his crawl. She is aligned with an Irish supporter.

Dear Gransnetters,
As an American born citizen of the US (who voted for Joe Biden), it gave me much joy to read so many supportive posts from across the pond.

Like many of you, I am greatly relieved and optimistic about what's ahead, especially with regard to this pandemic and what to expect from a Biden presidency going forward!

It has to be better, doesn’t it willa ? I don’t think there has ever been a President quite like DT before ( and hopefully won’t be again.) I wonder how many American GNers there are on this site, members don’t always say which country they live in. I hope that Biden will reinstate the things that DT opted out of.
