Finally, a sensible man in charge.

But did the Americans forget about Covid? The celebrations may cause havoc :/ Not good at all..

Doesn’t matter if Biden didn’t organise it. As I already said, these are the same people who blame Trump for every coronavirus death in America. I suppose the pandemic is on hold now for the large crowd celebrations.
It does because that was the reason behind the tweet. While the crowd should have thought better, they were wearing masks.

No you're not. Your original post was that Kayleigh Whatshername was right. Her tweet was about blaming Biden. Stop trying to move the goalposts: it's a forum, we can actually SEE earlier posts here. You can't just pretend it didn't happen.
The tweet says why isn’t he calling for the gatherings to end, she didn’t say he organised them.

Did anyone cover it?
From what I saw there just a rag-tag little audience, one of whom told Giuliani - who then stopped mid-rant in stupefied shock - that every single major media organisation had just called the win for President-Elect Biden.

Giuiliani then asked, in disbelief, "what, all of them?"

So you ARE blaming Biden then. Both of you, I mean.

I think it's quite unreasonable. I don't blame Trump either for not telling his supporters - who are also out in the streets in several places, it should be noted - to go home.

Well done he’s 13
Just can’t get over how old he is/looks. The man will be 82 by the time of the next election ffs. He looks like one bad fall away from being permanently crippled.

I hope that Biden has his inauguration in front of an empty National Mall (because of Covid) and then tweets about having the biggest crowds ever at an inauguration.

Just like Trump and his cronies isn't it? Pretending actual things they said didn't happen :lol:

Only if he then photoshops 1 million Greta Thunberg's into the picture.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
Look at this pillock:

Words can’t express how much I despise this pseudo intellectual wet cock of a man. He’s banging on about how this is a victory for Trumpism as it’s the closest election since the Second World War. In actual reality land it’s the closest election...since the fecking last one. Based on my admittedly poor maths 3 of the last 5 elections have been closer!

I think I see the issue here, you cared about facts. Easy mistake to make rookie. :)

This is what I found weird. All week people have been calling it the closest race in decades. Didn’t Hilary win the popular vote at the last election, it was that close?

The way I see it with the crowds is:

Are they wrong? Short answer: yes

Long answer:

The US is ruled by government who have let the pandemic get out of hand, they've essentially allowed this situation to manifest. Moreover, they've played a bigger role in spreading the virus. Republicans don't get to cry hypocrisy, yall made this mess!

Now its not Joe Biden who organised these celebrations, the only thing I think he could do is release a statement telling people to follow safety measure (he might have already done this).

Whoever won, this was going to happen and I've no doubt that we're gonna see a few Randy Marshes.

Moreover, I would say that all public demonstration shouldn't be off the table, the BLM protests were about issues which have been plaguing the African-American community for centuries.

People do bear some responsibility but let's not pretend that this situation is something that the right can just point at use to point against the left.
