I agree. I like Van Jones, he doesn't fear monger that everything is racist. He does a lot of good work on the ground. That was pretty fake.

They have also called him President Elect, multiple times. They aren't hedging their words about it, as it had been reported they might.

Those tears are real but he's way too over dramatic for me.

After the last 4 days of stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep I think it all just rushed over him. Compounding everything that has happened over 6 months, in context it looked pretty genuine to me.

Not quite anticlimactic. It is 48 years ago to the day (I think I read that), that President Biden was elected to the Senate for the first time. It's quite a nice double anniversary to have now.

Honestly I think Fox called it just so that they could get it over with in case Arizona flips back. Now it doesn't matter anymore.

Oh he totally deserves it. It's just that even in normal arguments he starts to tear up when he gets totally involved.

This isn't going to change anything. Biden is arguably even worse than Trump. How many other hidden laptops are there Joe??

In a weird twisted way, you kinda want Trump to be focusing all his attention on these stupid lawsuits. It hopefully distracts him from everything else so he doesn't do actual damage in everything else while he's still technically president until late January. If all he does from now till Jan is constantly whine about being screwed and rage on Twitter, that's probably best for everyone.

But what about the big Trump press conference this morning at the Four Seasons (landscaping company)? Fake news doesn't cover the important stories!

Yup, Giuliani is giving a press conference in the parking lot of a small landscaping firm in Philadelphia this morning.

Amazing.

Yes, but the point remains that it would have been even nicer to know on election night since ultimately this was a definitive win; the 4 day draw-out makes it seem like it was close.

Of course none of it ultimately matters, orangeman is gone and that's the important thing.
