This is straight out of Fox News panel discussions. They look at the same footage and determine Democrats were just lying before, because... what, Biden didn't shoot him when he came for transition meetings? Because he didn't sit there with a permanent theatrical scowl?
Part of the issue here is the Dems are the party of systems and norms. I get the urge to show how the peaceful transfer of power works. But that can be executed behind closed doors, not in front of the press and a roaring fire.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Democrats need to stop doings what’s right and grow a spine and throw wrenches into the GOP plans
Charlamagne is part of the problem.
This is what a peaceful, mature transition looks like - as sickening as it must have been for Biden.
These soundbites and his shock-jock tactics are idiotic and an irritating distraction.
It's called peaceful transfer and the respect of the office of president. Something trump lacks and didn't offer to biden. Trumps trash wife didn't have the class Jill has to even show up. The trumps have destroyed our democracy. And I'm not even a democratic, and I'm so disgusted
Chuck Schumer looking all chummy with Trump behind closed doors is also a shitty look. They have been comparing him to Hitler, yet it’s all smiles when they are around him.
I think it’s just political talk. When you debate you try to make your opponent look bad, so you win. Trump said a lot of things about Harris as well. Election is over, some people do move on and wait for the next time they can vote.
They keep trying "they go low we go high" but it just feels like "they try to topple democracy and we smile and welcome them in because it's polite" at this point.
Before: Fight fascism, defend democracy!
After: Hello fascism, I've warmed the seat for you.
I'm not confused, but certainly disappointed. Despite thousands of reports, not a single demand for a recount. Let's not forget: Dems lost ~8M, while Trump only won ~2M, with ~10M more eligible voters.
I find it interesting that people can’t hold in their brains that more than one thing can be true at the same time. Yes democracy is being challenged here and around the world, and yes, it’s okay to proceed calmly with strength. Geez
Given the number of times I had to watch this ignorant ass falsely accuse Harris of supporting sex change surgeries for prisoners (a fallacy- it’s in reference to a TRUMP era law that supports gender affirming care for prisoners) I will not listen to a fucking word this guy has to say.
It's disturbing. One of two situations. 1 - Playing nice until the current administration gets enough evidence to unleash and bar Trump. 2 - Playing nice because it's the right thing to do... #DefendersOfDemocracy
“I’ll work with you because I am mandated by democracy to do so, and the people made their choice based on your lies. But that choice doesn’t absolve you of being a threat to that same democracy, and I don’t condone a single thing you’ve done or will do. May God help us all”
Only thing equally infuriating to finding out my fellow Americans elected a Hitler loving despot felon is the keenness in which the leaders of the Democratic Party congratulated his victory. Get w/ the program, we do not congratulate the devil’s wins.
It’s called decorum. And it’s not like Biden enjoyed spending time with Trump—he did it bc it’s part of the peaceful transition. Biden has respect for our democracy and the office of the presidency. He’s the bigger man in so many ways.
It made me sick to watch Biden be so gracious to Trump after the way Trump treated him in 2020. All I can say is, Joe Biden is an honorable and patriotic leader. He's determined to show the country what a peaceful transfer of power is supposed to look like.
They respected the process and abided by tradition. They took him by his word and have yet to see his actions to properly react to, because what Trump has said and what Trump has done aren't always 1:1. Charlemagne is a terrible host.

Did he expect Dems to riot? Or overturn the election?
And hasn't trump & the GOP already promised to use recess appts to circumvent the approval process for nominees?
