Similar numbers to fraudulent postal votes by the sounds of it.Quote:

Well his legacy certainly won’t be the Paris Agreement. If Biden sticks to his word and recommits the USA to it on day one, then Trump will have managed to extract the country from it for c.10 weeks. Symbolically that’s a huge embarrassment for him.Quote:

Coronavirus task force set up ready to go will be announced tomorrow.
Paris decision will be be reversed.
Straight back into the WHO.
What else will Biden do pretty quickly?
Trump is the political equivalent of hearts. A bombastic obnoxious jobbie that just can’t accept he’s been flushed.
Can he do that so soon?Quote:

The task force won't take effect until he's sworn in i believe and the others will be taken care of by Ex O's i would imagine.Quote:

Try to repair the Iranian Nuclear Deal (although this will cause a lot of friction with Israel and Saudi Arabia whom he might not want to piss off immediately)Quote:

What's the Former President claiming there? That his TV show was cheated out of awards by fraudulent voting? :dunno:Quote:

You wouldn't address someone as Former President, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't talk about Former Presidents.Quote:

All things that the incumbent has not done. True, he won’t have the mechanics of State yet, but he can get wheels in motion.

In Designated Survivor the current president addressed the former president as Mr president.Quote:

Yes, as a form of address. But there's nothing wrong with the current title of this thread.Quote:

Somebody needs to do something as the Loser who thinks he's a winner seems to think that if he is still running the country he can do it all by sulking round the golf course.Quote:

Apparently the General Services Administration (GSA) is responsible for setting the transition process in motion. Until they officially recognise Biden as the winner the transition can't begin.Quote:

If he were to run in 2024 and win, could he defend that in 2028 and become a three term President?Quote:
