Good heavens. Somebody must really have put the fear of legal liability into him to get that unprecedented lip service to responsible-governance platitudes out of him. I would have bet he would have just gleefully gone on from day to day coyly hinting at how much worse things could get if his adoring supporters really got angry and how lucky we are that they’re not as nasty as those evil, unfair, vicious antifa and Democrats. Aren’t his supporters going to be very disappointed in him as a “cuck” for backing down on the intimidating swagger, though? ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > Somebody must really have put the fear of legal liability into him . . . I think not so much legal liability as much as being fired. “Mr. President, we will have no choice but to invoke the 25th amendment if you don’t stop this shit now”. ---

Someone is down out of sight with a taser aimed at his crotch. ---

That was damn near a concession speech. Although I don’t think he ever said the word “Biden”. But then, he never said the word “fraud”, either. ---

President Elect Biden had a live 20+ minute speech today that was excellent. Dumpster Fire releases a pre-recorded 2 minute speech with multiple takes/breaks/angles because he is such a fucking shit-show he cannot string multiple teleprompter sentences together. Sleepy Joe? Shut the fuck up Donnie! ---
