Exactly what I said, "Trump was not graceful in defeat". So, what's the problemo?
Is it perhaps not time to move on, smell the flowers and breathe some fresh air. Time to look forward and not back.
There is a wonderful opportunity here to be graceful in defeat. That's what the nation is longing for. Let's put some class into politics.
Biden understands these things. Some folks on the forum obviously don't.
A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.
The problem is that 'not being graceful in defeat' and 'spread lies that led to insurrection / undermined the democratic process / continues to attempt to delegitimize a democratically elected Govt' don't live in the same neighborhood.
It's like saying punching someone in the face is exactly as antisocial as decapitating them and then skull-fucking the corpse...
...and that's like lecturing the corpse that it should just lie there and take it.
I'm not saying that at all, and if my wording is suggesting otherwise I'll have to be more careful. I'm remembering the Christopher Earle quote, "Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat". I think perhaps the time has not come for that just yet. Trump's behaviour vis-a-vis the riots are entirely unforgiveable and I'm not suggesting for a moment there weren't. My hope is that he fades away, and quickly.
I try not to lecture anybody but in particular not corpses.
Speaking of corpses I do believe that more blood letting is required in the short term. I shall continue to lay low for a bit.
Take care.
What would you have Biden and the Dem's do to be more gracious? Look at what they have to be gracious to. Think about that and let me know Russell, as I have seen Biden be gracious though this whole mess. All created by a guy who led an insurrection against his own country because he could not accept defeat.
Not familiar with the procedure, is the landslide "YES" just for the debate? (Don't they trust their POTUS? he showed just how he is good with figures...)
Or are the $1.9T already distributed? I saw some funny figures on "unrecognized" links (who can believe?):
- $1.5 million to build Chuck Schumer a bridge.
- $112 million to build Nancy Pelosi a subway.
- $200 million for museums and libraries
You are the only person on planet earth that can understand that gibberish.
Please stop going to right wing propaganda sites for your references. If you did you would know this simple fact.
Funding For Bart's South Bay Extension Pulled From Covid-19 Relief Bill
A provision in the coronavirus stimulus bill currently being considered by Congress that would have allocated nearly $150 million toward BART's South Bay extension has been removed after the Senate parliamentarian ruled it is not eligible for inclusion.
This is Russell. How do you deal with shit like this? Covid relief for a nation devastated by it.
GOP Sen. Johnson delays Covid relief bill by forcing all 628 pages to be read out loud

The effort could last over 10 hours before lawmakers begin debating the provisions in the legislation.
I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what you're talking about AO.
Maybe put the bong down for a minute?
Hey Russell, back to the old days eh. Look wake up. You lived here for how many years and know absolutely nothing about Thailand. Now you live in Canada alone and know nothing about anything either. Don't give me this bong shit as a comeback. Just deal with what is being presented to you.
What is your problem you thick shit? You've lived there thirty years plus and you still know shit. Any political discussion has always been way over your head and I'm talking many years back.
And have you not recently and on another thread used that on me? So put a fucking rag in it you hypocritical asshole.
I am doing just that you humourless asshole.
Fuck you AO. Your nothing but a backup clown at the moment.
Well, AO being a douchebag aside - crude is rising like a mofo and futures are looking good.
Biden has it within his power to mitigate this at the pump - yet he won’t, and has been doing his best to make it rise further.
Priorities.
