This is Darwinism at work. Trust the process.

Sucks that he got it.

Particularly sucks that he got it while he still has health insurance.

Unlike thousands of other Americans who have to suffer from the virus and from not having health insurance.

not as egregious as some of the others but a Canadian band calling a 74 year old man a kid

They appear to have found just enough votes for Biden to catch up.

If there was something sketchy going on, would they really document it?

There's more new cases in the WH than there is in New Zealand.

The Whitehouse is becoming a biohazard superfund site.

I'm not sure why people are worried about Trump leaving. I heard they were building un-scalable fences around the White House. Just put a lock on it, and build a new one.

Is it going to dawn on people quickly or slowly that Biden won't solve any of the problems as they perceive them?

Presidential twitter nonsense will diminish, which will be a nice break...but they will still be left wondering why Biden hasn't fixed all of the things.

You can thank Mitch McConnell for that gridlock.

This person, who speaks to the president often — or, more accurately, who listens and says uh-huh as the president speaks — said that Trump is not just done for, but done. “He wants to lose. He’s out of money. He worries about being arrested. He worried about being assassinated,” they said. “It hasn’t been a great experience for him. He likes showing people around the White House, but the actual day-to-day business of being president? It’s been pretty unpleasant for him.”

Purple Man Bad

Seriously though, Biden won't have the unilateral power that Trump had, but just by listening to experts, he should do better.

Remember when you said Biden didn't stand a chance?? lol

over 300 electorals incoming

Biden won't fix everything but there will be a lot of change for the good...the days of pretending the pandemic is fake are over. Biden will actually put reasonable people in top positions and not just his buddies and anyone who will kiss his ass. Also, I will be surprised if its not a dem trifecta in 2 years time so its a MASSIVE difference
