Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
The election is over.

It’s time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric designed to demonize one another.

We have to come together.

[Zorro]

1. Republicans won't listen

Lindsay Graham: "...Trifecta from Hell..."

[TheBlackAdder]

20. "Hey, leopards ate my face!" sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

.

Only when they want to act like adults.

2. But your old time friend, LG just named you as part of a "trifecta from hell."

Are we really going to reach across the aisle again? 80 million people did not stand in long lines & risk their well-being & even their lives so we could reach across the aisle & look forward. We will lose the House in 2022 if we do this & probably the WH in 2024.

[madaboutharry]

3. Dear Joe,

Good luck with that, man.

Republicans come to the table in bad faith.

[JHB]

4. That has to be the public face...

...but if they refuse it doesn't mean meeting them halfway. We already know that only encourages them to move the goalposts.

They're not inclined to give up the demonization rhetoric. Too many of them have made it their business model.

5. Newsmax headline:

[Cha]

29. Exactly what I was thinkin of when I

wrote my post.. But I still see why Biden is saying it.

& fucking Rubio, too..

[dalton99a]

36. +1. Words are cheap. Speak softly, carry a big stick, AND HIT THEM WHERE IT COUNTS

[Hotler]

6. Repugs first. nt.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

7. Lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

No quarter for the fascists who tried to end democracy in the US, and who are still intent on overthrowing the US government.

Unity means coming together to protect ourselves from fascists and fascism.

[Brainfodder]

8. With OAN, Fox News, and Newsmax still lying/gaslighting daily?

[BSdetect]

10. Use the big stick

We cannot be nice to them at all.

They will exploit any sign of civility so give them the very minimal basics

[CentralMass]

11. How's that working out for you Joe?

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. It's not(trifecta from hell) and won't EVER. Never learn.

[0rganism]

12. yay! time for unilateral disarmament to celebrate national togetherness

always turns out well for everyone
good times, good times

[LizBeth]

13. Three weeks to get election declared Bidens. Right. 4 yrs of hell and being told, let it go.

Doesn't work that way.

[IsItJustMe]

15. Well

he's gotta set the right tone anyway. I am absolutely sure he knows how it is and what to expect.

[LizBeth]

16. I do not have your confidence. Biden excels in ways, and one of them is glass over flowing

kumbaya. I hope, though.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. I don't either.

[Zorro]

21. In the Navy the COs let their Execs be the ones to bring the hammer down.

Let Biden be the voice of reason and bipartisanship, and have Harris be the hammer.

It's something Republicans would respect; think Bush/Cheney.

[IsItJustMe]

24. I completely agree.

Good cop! Bad cop! That is one huge mistake that that dump always made. Instead of having his cult members and stooges spread the manure, he could not help himself and had to spread the manure himself.

The only problem is, that stench sticks with the one that is doing the spreading.

[StarfishSaver]

31. Some Democrats want Biden to be a Democratic version of Trump

Throwing red meat at the angriest among our side and governing as if they're the only people in the country he needs to satisfy.

Thank God, that's not what he's going to be or do.

[LizBeth]

39. No. That is not true.

[SoonerPride]

43. Yes it is.

Just read this thread.

Actually read it.

People are pissed and want revenge. Or justice.

That anger is justified.

But they do want a trumpian anti-Trump strong man to exact revenge and mere out justice to those who deserve it.

[LizBeth]

44. Revenge? No. Repercussions for criminal behavior. People are pissed? Hell yes. 4 years

of vile, vulgar, racist, hateful, criminal behavior. Ya, people are pissed. Everyone should be pissed.

Consequences for ones action is important in every civilized society.

Democrats want Biden to be a Democratic version of Trump

To compare what people are talking about a version of Trump is bullshit. BIG difference between justice, and Trump. You can't see it? Not my issue.

[IsItJustMe]

14. loveya Joe.

But we gotta keep our eyes wide open. And as some idiot once said, "Trust but Verify".

Don't trust em.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. "come together", hah! Y'all just trying to make me wear a dang mask!

"Partisanship" has been hardening ever since Newt Gingrich (and maybe earlier). McConnell will fight such a notion.

It sounds good, though, and I hope for success.

[soothsayer]

18. This

[Midnight Writer]

19. A smart brawler knows to hold up his hands and loudly say "I don't want trouble" before the fight.

That way, when the cops show up, you've got witnesses saying you didn't start it and tried to calm things down.

[edhopper]

25. Exactly

Let's see what the new AC does first/

[StarfishSaver]

30. Exactly

Contrary to what naysaying keyboard warriors seem to think, the guy who survived and thrived in politics for nearly 50 years and just beat Donald Trump in a landslide knows a little something a out being tough.

[Crunchy Frog]

22. Like that's going to happen.

[eleny]

23. I want a pound of Republican flesh

It's why we donated heavily. This can't be brushed aside.

Hopefully, he's treading lightly for the sake of the Georgia run offs. After that I expect the kraken to be released. Otherwise the next authoritarian will be smarter.

[pecosbob]

26. I would have preferred something like

'Now that were done with all that kumbaya crap let's go kick some supply-sider ass.'

[Bucky]

27. Maybe it'll be different this time

Maybe it won't be like under Clinton and Obama where they started demonizing and sabotaging the administration from day one. Maybe this time they will restrict their arguments to honest critiques of policy differences while seeking out genuine opportunities for bipartisan efforts to put the country first.

Yes, maybe that will happen

[IsItJustMe]

41. We can always hope,

but I gotta tell you what I have observed over the last four years, and that is that there is a serious totalitarian strain that is running through the Republican party and in America. Just look at how many people voted for dump. I truly hope this can be turned around, for my kids sake anyway.

[Bucky]

42. I have no problem living in hope

But my preceding post was 100% sarcasm

[Cha]

28. Yeah, that's not gonna happen with Maggots..

but I see why Biden is saying it.

[marlakay]

32. And most of America sighs, nods and

Continues on. Glad we have older stable guy but he obviously isn't on social media to see where all the red/blue wars are.

He was on tv this morning, it actually cut off my show to let him introduce some of his people, it was nice to see John Kerry again. My husband from next room heard him talking about god or something religious and said why does he have to bring that in? I said honey he is old school, but we need some old school to balance us.

But thinking we will be friends with the republicans after all they did thats too much.

[LeeAndrews]

33. I support President-Elect Biden and his sentiments....

I don't think I'll be able to come together with that group of people personally, but I know Joe is battle-tested and will handle himself fine.

[jalan48]

34. I'm sure the right wing terrorists are listening.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

35. I believe Joe is trying to set a healthy tone for the public in order to attack COVID-19.

He knows if we don't establish a degree of public unity in the pandemic war, many more people will die.

Both he and Kamala are perfectly familiar with the partisan division in Congress and will deal with that on a different level.


KY......... ..........

[Marthe48]

40. Sorry Mr. President I'm not ready

Let the new DOJ and some of the states haul some traitors and criminals into court and thence to jail, and I might feel less antagonistic.

They don't get good feelings like the last 20 years hasn't happened.

And I'm not like Kevin Bacon in Animal House saying, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

45. What's the compromise between democracy and fascism? I don't like Nazis.
