Oh I was gong to start this thread,

No one has ever said no to Trump, but now 275m people have.

Well we cannot celebrate by seeing a show. So toasting a virtual glass of champagne from, Bexleyheath, London, UK. An awesome day.

Now it’s for President Biden and Vice President Harris to unite the U.S. and the world after a lot of damage was done by a dangerous, divisive and narcissistic man.

Congratulations President Biden & Vice President Harris.

"Morning glow,morning glow, starts to glimmer when you know,

Winds of change are set to blow,and sweep this whole land through,

Morning glow is long past due.

Morning glow,fill the earth,come and shine for all you're worth

We'll be present at the birth of old faith looking new,

Morning glow is LONG past due.

Oh morning glow,I'd like to help you grow,we should've started 4 years ago (my lyric)

So--morning glow all day long,while we sing tomorrow's song

Never knew we could be so strong,but now it's very clear--morning glow is almost here.

Morning glow,by your light,we can make the new day bright

And the phantoms of the night will fade into the past,

 Morning glow is here...at last!"

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has tweeted:  Welcome Back, America !

 Thanks.  It's great to be back!

Ding Dong the wicked witch will soon be gone!

Here’s to hoping Donald has the balls to concede and actually leave the White House. The secret service will be dragging him out in January

[AEA AGMA SM]

Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen, Jorge. Hell, anyone who was relying on a presidential pardon to cover their asses should be scared as hell right now, because he's absolutely the type who is going to try to take as many people as possible down with him.

Congratulations to the President-elect. My financial guy was given instructions yesterday to sell everything I have in the market at the opening bell Monday morning. I am taking the profit and running to the hills with it - lol.

@yankeefan7 What are you holding? I'll likely buy the "dip" if any materializes. Seriously, my take on the Biden-Harris' victory is that the center is holding...balance has been restored. The stock & forex markets had already priced in a Biden-Harris victory last week. I could go on and on.

[CT2NYC]

I feel much more hopeful about the return of Broadway and the arts in general, now that the Orange Menace won't be in the picture.

In a democracy the media does not have the legal athority to declare a winner.  The legal process must proceed according to the law.  Neither this forum or anyone has the authority to ban the supreme court and other courts from hearing the evidence.  Period.

Sadly, it appears that it will be an incredibly difficult task to deprogram Trump's cult members. Right now, they're the biggest threat to national security.

It's odd that people are so concerned about this. It will simply go like this.

***KNOCK KNOCK***

Secret Service: Sir, today is the day, you need to vacate the White House. You no longer live or work here.

Trump (who is hiding in his bedroom with the door locked): No! I don't wanna! I won in my mind! That is ALL that counts!

Secret Service: Sir, no. Please come out and leave.

Trump: NO!

Secret Service: K.

They will then proceed to break the door, pick him up, put him in cuffs and walk him out.

He is leaving, no worries.

I have two IRA's which are invested in a bunch of things and will not get into detail here. My financial guy said for the short term until Biden is sworn in everything should be fine but he expects markets to take hit if Biden passes his corporate tax increases. I still have a few years before I would be mandated by the government to take money out but figured now was as good a time as any especially when I have done well.

I will give you example of the profit made. I retired at the end of 2018 and was only with the company I retired from a short period of time so I only had $55,000 in the 401K when I left. I immediately rolled it over into another IRA to make a little money and figured I could gamble a bit since this was like "fun" money and not my major investment. I wanted a separate IRA for this amount of money so I would go for more of a risk and higher reward since my big IRA is fairly conservative. As of last Friday, that IRA is now worth $73,000. So I will take the profit and put it away for later years and not worry about a possibly volatile market in 2021.

@yankeefan7 My apologies for prying. I really should have dm'd you. I wish you the best with your investments. As a third party voter, I'm heartened by Biden's centrist nature and the repudiation of both Trump & the ultra left wing in the House. I dm'd another bww poster and reminded him that 2 years into Bill Clinton's first term the Dems lost both chambers, and 2 years into Obama's the House was a goner. Biden and the other party elders are pragmatic enough to avoid making similar blunders in Biden's first term. Plus, with the runaway federal deficit & the pandemic in full bore, there'll be no funds for pie in the sky programs. Both sides will be constrained by fiscal reality which is a good thing. I'll be a happy camper as long as any new or expanded safety net benefits small businesses & natural persons directly. The GOP holds the record for corporate bailouts on its watch. And I don't want to ever again see a sitting president bribe farmers in the mid-west to look the other way while he (or she) uses tariffs to allow Putin to leverage his influence over the rest of the globe.

[SweetLips22]

Could we all just pause a moment and think about MRS Trump and what SHE must be going through at this very crucial time of her life.

Comments please how the First Lady will spend$$$$ the rest of her life????

My thoughts, long gone to an 'Island in the Pacific where the etc etc'.

No problem, thanks for the well wishes. I just think with the possible raise in corporate taxes and the rising deficit, the market may have seen it's best days. Hopefully all will be ok, fingers crossed !!

He lost, fair and square. Get over it. Besides, the claims he was making about it not being a fair election and all that crap hold no water whatsoever. It is telling that when he started to speak, all the news channels stopped to cut into hear what he had to say. And, within seconds when he started to make these bogus claims, they cut out again to return to what was being aired.

Just imagine where we could have been had they started doing that years ago once it was clear that they were never going to get an honest press conference out of him.

Racist, uncouth narcissist soon to be out of office? Check.

Return of democracy and decency in America? Check.

Oldest President in U.S. history? Check.

First POC and female Vice President in U.S. history? Check.

Hotel? Trivago.

 

I was outside enjoying the gorgeous weather when I got word of Biden's projected victory. Congrats to Joe and Kamala- very eager to see the members of his Cabinet. I should have known the first night of the election would be a red mirage... I never considered the Moonlight Effect before the tallying of mail-in ballots began. Let's face it, the entire nation was in dire need of news like this for many months now. This could very well be the start of a promising future for all Americans. God bless you all, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

 

[Highland Guy]

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will soon address the Nation from a parking lot in Wilmington, DE.  With an audience in the hundreds sitting in or on or around cars.  It all seems so completely weird and wonderful at the same time.  And this is the moment I and so many others have been looking forward to for four years.

Their victory is our victory.
