GSA starting transition is a step forward. Biden will finally have the needed resources to combat COVID-19.

Trump's concession is a slight shock. I knew he had to sooner or later. He didn't take as much credit for the start of the transition as I thought he would. I wonder who finally convinced him and what did they use as a reason?

Looks like being the National butt of the joke has finally gotten to King Naranja. Reports are that he not only signed off on the transition, but has also signed off on "Updates" to the personal residence at Mar-Lago and the Secret Service is accepting apps from those interested in transferring to Palm Beach.

President Donald Trump is upset with how his legal team has handled his challenges to the election, according to NBC News.

Trump is worried that they are "fools that are making him look bad," one official told NBC.

He also reportedly complained about Rudy Giuliani's appearance at a news conference last week

Yeah, that's all that's making you look bad Donnie. You ARE bad you (bleep)!

He didn't concede. He's just merely agreed to allow the transition process to start. But he is still pushing forward with his efforts to overturn the election results and saying he will be successful.

I mean concede to allowing the transition to begin. His tweet says he's going to continue to fight.

He will never concede we all know that. But the transition will happen regardless of him conceding or not and January 20th at noon Joe Biden will be the 46th president.

It doesn't matter if Trump concedes; he's out on January 20th, regardless.

F*#k him and his concession (or lack thereof).

Of course, we all know that. The only reason for the clarification about not conceding is to make it clear he has not done so so he doesn't get credit for appearing to do the right and honorable thing, something he is entirely incapable of.

Yes, Biden will be the 46th president irregardless of what Trump says or does. That's a surety.

Him saying he's allowing the GSA to start the transition is Trump's way of implying he's doing the right thing and taking some credit. He has to make everything about him.

To those of us not in his base, nothing Trump does, to give an optic of honor, will work. We see his egotism and narcissism.

Trump is a very wretched, insecure, obtuse, and odious d!qkhead.

Seems like around 100 top donors said concede or no help in Georgia senate races...

Everything is lies on top lies and lying in failed attempts to hide the lies with these people.

Someone must have told her that she was breaking the law by delaying the certification, so she had to make it appear as some independent action. Trump still made sure to throw her under the bus.

Biden hopes to avoid divisive Trump investigations, preferring unity


Biden has told aides that he's concerned that investigations would divide the country but that he would leave decisions up to an independent Justice Department.

Biden will have nothing to do with it, considering his Justice Department will be independent. And even if they don't prosecute Trump, New York state will make their decision independent from Biden's administration.
