Oct 2024

Trump and his minions slow walked and obstructed the ordinary and orderly transition to a new Preside (i.e. witholding funding, preventing the Biden transition team from full access), continued to spread lies about the election and promulgated conspiracy theories about the outcome, culminating in Trump fomenting a riot on January 6 that he didn't lift a finger to stop for several hours and, in fact, appeared to have even obstructed efforts to intervene earlier via the National Guard.

Tim used his time wisely. JD? Lies were aplenty. ProudMNDemocrat Oct 2024 #11

Watching that whole exchange during the debate, my reaction was "He yadda yadda'd Jan. 6!" AZSkiffyGeek Oct 2024 #13

There was a line from the election to inauguaration that was conveniently overlooked Mad_Machine76 Oct 2024 #23

Yes, convenient. Such a far, far cry from the things Repubs used to complain about when they called Dems sore losers. Beartracks Oct 2024 #48

Trump didn't hand over power on Jan. 20th... lame54 Oct 2024 #34

It wasn't his to "hand over" anyway. The power is vested in the office of President, bestowed by the people. Beartracks Oct 2024 #46

It was a cowardly petty move on his part lame54 Oct 2024 #47

Maybe, but I also think he couldn't face what he would have seen as a public humiliation. ShazzieB Oct 2024 #52

I actually do think it was more this -- the humiliation and admission of the loss. Beartracks Oct 2024 #55

Good point! ShazzieB Oct 2024 #57

When asked about accepting results of 2024 election, Vance said he didn't want to speculate on the future. Beartracks Oct 2024 #14

That perked up my ears too. . . . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2024 #20

Voters are speculating on the future also KS Toronado Oct 2024 #33

Vance kept saying "the Harris administration," so let's make that happen. Beartracks Oct 2024 #45
