That's premature by at least 73 days?  Maybe a decade.

And what do you think he's going to do afterwords?  maybe he'll join NT?

He will move back to TT or MarALago and torture half the country with daily tweets,

maybe he'll even have more rallies for the half

just to prove he's ready for 2024.

Face it John

The genie is out of the bottle and he won't be put back or silenced any time soon.

Trump said if Joe Biden beat him we would never see him again.  Do you mean Trump might not be a man of his word ?

This is from a locked "article" published yesterday. 

Trump, “I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from,”
(SP) Well Hillary has something in common with at least 46 other people who lost a Presidential contest, many of whom complained like HRC.  She belongs to a very small and exclusive club.

Now one Donald T Trump has joined the club and possibly feels at least some of what HRC felt four years ago.

Bittersweet...

Nope, like Carter, Clinton, Bush & Obama, we are now on the hook for SS protection for Trump

for the rest of his natural life.

The real question, is whether or not that will include Melania and which residence(s).

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for Joe Biden to be a one-term president."   /s

"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for Joe Biden to be a one-term president." 

That sounds like a realistic goal for an opposing political party to have. 

Wouldn't make much sense for Democrats to have wanted or worked for a Trump second term, or for the GOP to work to make any Democrat get reelected.

I never have understood why people get all faux-offended over something so glaringly obvious.

The comment is actually from after Obama became president but I'm sure it applies to McConnell's thinking today. 

I think the Senate Majority leader should be thinking about what is best for the country, not the Republican Party.

Yes, I know--I have heard all the bitching about it since it was said. Come on, please don't be so damn naive as to believe that Democrats don't always want the same fucking thing.

I think the Senate Majority leader should be thinking about what is best for the country, not the Republican Party.

Some adults aren't so fixated on one thing that it prevents them from thinking about other things, too.

Unless the SCOTUS has become totally corrupt and no more independant than China's courts of justice, Trump is only disgracing America and democracy for the whole world to see.  If the SCOTUS finds in his favour, I would not be surprised if America will experience its second Civil War, which would make it no better than a third world country.

As my wife's family is Buddhist, we have a small shrine in our home to Bodhisattva GuanYin, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy and Compassion.

This morning, to thank her, I paid ritual homage to her - something that is not my own religion, but very relevant in the circumstances, as America has been blessed with mercy and compassion - freedom from tyrrany and disorder.

There is a huge dance party celebration going on outside the White House right now and on the streets of NYC.

The Mayor of Paris just sent a message:  Welcome back America.

We are glad to be back.

The arc of history has changed and we are all much better off for it.

It would be nice if Trump would act like an American instead of lying about the race and his ridiculous lawsuits. 

He said he would not concede, no plans to invite Biden to the WH.

This is what all modern presidents have done. 

As the Mayor of Philadelphia said, ''Trump put on your big boy pants''.

Can't say it any better than that.

He's been whining about votes since Hillary won the popular vote, claiming "illegals" voted for her.

The only one who might be able to talk some sense into him would probably be Ivanka

Really wish I could be a fly on the wall in the WH.  Wonder how many things are going to be broken when Biden starts living in the White House.

I have seen news videos of huge crowds dancing and singing, filling the streets of America celebrating.  I have not seen anything like that in my lifetime since the ending of the Second World War.  There are similarities of cause in both cases.
