That speech by Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris as a SPEECH was unusual. Presidential victory speeches do NOT feature the VP. They are delivered by the winning President-Elect
That Joe gave this platform to Kamala tells us how serious Joe is
Most Presidents do not give the Vice President much power. Donald Trump despises Mike Pence, did not even JOIN Pence on the night Trump announced Pence as his Veep, to dine with Pence. When Trump gave Pence the task to lead the Covid task force, Trump then hijacked that project
President Obama was an exception, and gave Joe Biden a lot of actual power, and Joe led the nation's effort out of the Great Recession. Now we have 2 significant signs from Joe, that relate to Biden era
The CHOICE of Veep is first 'Presidential act' that ANY future POTUS makes
Some Presidents select weak 'non threatening' inconsequential people as their Vice Presidents (Daddy Bush & Dan Quayle; Trump & Pence) but Biden selected a FRONT RUNNER of his rivals in the race against him - AND the clear face of the future of the Democratic party: BOLD & brave
The VICTORY SPEECH by a President-Elect is literally the first act of the next President, well before that President has taken office. It is the first ACTUALLY Presidential act. And the most glorious moment of that Presidency-in-Waiting. A speech seen globally by MASSIVE audience
What we saw looked 'so natural' with Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris speaking first & introducing President-Elect Joe Biden, that most probably did not even NOTICE how EXCEPTIONAL it was
Not the content of the speeches; the ACT of giving Kamala that speaking slot
THAT is Joe
In Joe Biden's FIRST ever act, in his official act towards his Presidency, Joe gave KAMALA a shared spotlight?
This is not just a great American President. This is a MODERN, team-building, inspiring, motivating, supporting President
THAT ACT signalled that Joe will be AWESOME
As a management consultant, I had to point that out. We saw the first sign of the Joe Biden era. More than what President-Elect Biden & VP-Elect Harris SAID, is what Joe Biden did
He genuinely shared of his moment. This man will not put his ego ahead of the members on HIS TEAM.
So President-Elect Joe Biden is good for his word.
When he said that his cabinet will look like America, we have the first bit of evidence of it. One older white (Catholic) man on team with one youngish black/Asian woman. His appointments WILL reflect a similar diversity.
But with this ACT, President-Elect Joe Biden signals to ALL American patriots, a clarion call, to join his administration, why? To join in a new era, where Joe will also LET YOU SHINE.
This EXAMPLE will be written in history books on the relevance of that speech.
BRAVO Joe!

Donald Trump himself is a serial con-artist & multiple serial criminal from racism when slumlord to frauds ranging from Trump University to taxes, to stealing money from veterans & cancer kids
Trump then HIRED criminals into White House
Trumpomob crimes 2/
Trump was broke in March 2016 when Manafort joined (worked 'for free' = paid by Putin) & suddenly Trump was flush with cash. Putin bankrolled Trump so that is election fraud
Putin also corrupted the GOP financing them via the NRA. So GOP also criminals
Trumpomob crimes 3/
If you've got a serial criminal who hires more serial criminals and corrupts others to join his crimes, you have epic, world record level crime mob occupying the White House and supported by GOP in Congress

If anyone knows of the unknown artists involved, please let me know. I will add it as it comes in
That is impossible. There is ZERO ways Trump can remain President to 21 January 2021. On 20 Jan 2021, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the new President, was Trump there or not.
The WHOLE US government will JUMP to side with Joe
Trump THINKS he has 'loyalty' from his Trumpomobsters. They are CAREER CON ARTISTS who are playing Trump. Not one of them will go to prison for Trump
Trump thinks #MoscowMitch McTurtle & GOP Senators will somehow go to the barricades with Trump. They won't. Not one will
Trump thinks his FAMILY will stay with him. Ok, Eric is so dumb he might simply be too confused to remember the escape plan. But the rest of the Hitler Jugend kids, Butthead Jr Trump, Entitlement Barbie & Bonesaw Jared will sell out Trump for 6 months shorter sentence
I expect Mnuchin to have STOLEN roughly a Trillion dollars. That is NOT typical Trumpian/Republican mismanagement or cronyism like tax cuts for billionaires or money laundering via Covid funding. I mean
STOLEN
Short thread...
You remember the most vile American ever to have lived? Manafort. He arranged the kleptocracies in countries on four continents. He was the go-to guy for Marcos, Mobutu Sese Seko & Yanukovich, etc - murderer dictator monsters FAR FAR more horrid (in their countries) than Trump
In each case, Manafort organized the LARGEST heist of public property & government funds into pockets of the dictators, that DECIMATED those countries - often for DECADES to come.
That was a 'young Manafort' before he got his hands onto the biggest piggy-bank ever: USA
Quick sanity check on the actual election result. Not the bullshit nonsense that was poisoning election coverage. The ACTUAL result
it was a WAVE election! Turnout is even higher than Obama 2008 wave, by percent of Americans who voted ! Around 60% !! A MONSTER election, and...
..and this was NOT A CLOSE ELECTION. It 'seemed' close, because of the bizarre vote-count this year, but experts (like me) WARNED you how the votes will be counted this time.
The ACTUAL result gives Joe Biden a victory of AT LEAST 6 million vote margin & AT LEAST 4% drubbing
No sitting President has ever been defeated by a LARGER national vote AGAINST the sitting President, than 51% of votes that Joe Biden got. Even Jimmy Carter was removed with only 50.7% for Ronald Reagan.
Trump was NEVER near US population support. His vote % will be under 47%
All this: have extraordinarily long life with
-Sentence of life plus 1,000 years (eligible for parole in 800)
-Cellmate Pence reading the Bible at him every damned day
-No internet & of course
-No Twitter
-Only 1 hr of TV daily: MSNBC tuned to Maddow #Pennsylvania
Trump end 2/4
(in prison)
Prison means no cheeseburgers or Diet Cokes
No orange makeup
No tanning
No long hair (That Thing that nests on his head will be gone)
By 2021 we'll have a Covid vaccination. so no early release for pandemic reasons
No Adderall
No Dexamethasone
No golf
Trump end 3/4
(in prison)
Prison means healthy food
Vegetables (I'd love to have them feed Goya beans to him every stinking day. The aroma in his prison cell would be epic)
Government provided free healthcare
Regular check-ups
No fake doctor notes
No telephone calls to Hannity
