Hope so. Guy comes across as a standard issue pro-Israel, pro-KSA, interventionist hawk.

It’s just a a sad truth that sometimes you have to work with people like Erdogan for the greater good.

It's crazy hearing a stat that like almost half of the people who voted Republican think the election is rigged.
Congrats Donald Trump. You did something not even the Soviets or the CCP could do, and that's break US democracy.

I mean, it's not that surprising, is it? They buy what they're told to buy. The last time I saw a poll about it, over 70% of Republicans believed that President Obama was born in Kenya.

That's about as close to a real concession as you're gonna get from Trump. Of course he'll never publicly admit that he lost, but it's looking more and more likely that he's just gonna fade into the background and disappear.
The guy has been hiding out in the WH since election day, and he clearly has no interest whatsoever in governing over these final two months. I'm sure even the GOP would be happy to just have him out of the way and playing golf everyday until Jan. 20th.

I agree with the sentiment but I think a lot of credit has to go to US democracy, hopefully not prematurely.
It has withstood an unprecedented attack from within and managed to deliver a legitimate result. Yes, it received a significant black eye but it won in the end. In a somewhat bizarre way, I am actually proud of US democracy. It did what it claims it is supposed to do.
This process uncovered many warts that need to be addressed with specific legislation. For example, why is the certification of a state's election a party-line issue? That should be a simple administrative process without discretion. The US has far too many 'norms' in its process, but that can be fixed.
The GSA has now approved transition funds and I see now the Orange Dingleberry has now authorized the transition to begin. We are near the end of this bizarre episode.
