Trump won and won well, for which he deserves great credit, but you do know that more than 48% of American voters preferred the other candidate. A win is a win of course but it’s not sensible to ignore or deride such a significant minority of Americans.

The mainstream media’s ratings are collapsing. That’s why it’s not surprising MSNBC Morning Joe hosts @JoeNBC and @morningmika are desperately trying to walk back their years of attacks on President Trump. It just shows us how truly disconnected they are from voters.

@MickPuck Yep, that was their perfect opportunity but Garland, like Mueller before him, bottled it.

They always say "ah but Biden couldn't politicise the Dept of Justice". What shite. He was Prez and had a duty to the rule of law. DOJ should have been instructed. The bampot Trump should have been lifted (Scottish for arrested) on January 21st, charged, held and tried.
Mike Scott@MickPuck
The USA f*cked up big time by not prosecuting Trump for insurrection in 2021. He should never have been allowed to run for President again. Now comes the karma from that failure.

@davstu11 Alex Scott, what a bonnie player he was, part of that classic forward line of Scott, White, St John, Law and Wilson.

On this day in 1957, Scotland qualified for the 1958 World Cup by beating Switzerland 3-2. Archie Robertson, Jackie Mudie and Alex Scott scored the goals for Scotland.

Just the 36 different words to describe a 'piggy-back' in Scotland 😆 Is yours there?

@davstu11 And he was the best looking most dashing player of his time. Peerless!

Mindblowing Fact of the day. On this day in 1962 Denis Law scored four goals v Northern Ireland in a crushing 5-1 win at Hampden.
One year exactly and Denis scored another four past Norway in a 6-1 hammering.
What a player!

Oh Good Jesus, don't you just wish golfers would keep schtum. Player and Nicklaus, Mickelson and Norman are bad enough but now we get Rory kowtowing to Trump and Musk. Spare us Rors!

Never has the United States been in so much need of advice from The Sage if Baltimore, the great H L Mencken.

How right he was, more than a century ago. This is that "great and glorious day".

We have to accept that millions of Americans are misogynistic, climate change denying, racist fucking lunatics who don't give a single fuck about anything apart from the price of gas in their tanks.
Having done that we need to stop caring about America and build a better Europe.

Congratulations to President-elect Trump on his election.
Scotland and the USA share many social, cultural and economic links.
In that relationship, we will stand fast in support of our values of fairness, democracy and equality – ideals that America was built upon.

What I want to wake up to tomorrow:
- Harris wins in a landslide
- FBI arrests Trump for insurrection & treason
- Homeland arrests Musk for conspiracy & treason
- X becomes Twitter again
- a little man in a bunker in moscow had a cardiac arrest and didn´t made it.
..and coffee.

@JohannaTC A brace of buffoons. What are CH4 playing at? Bothsidesism gone mad.

@JaniceForsyth Imagine there's no Trumpster! How good will that feel?

@BertWright1 You can say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. 🎹🎤🎶

Don’t forget,y’all that Trump’s mentor was the utterly corrupt and vile Roy Cohn, who, up until he died of AIDS, decried gay people. He worked for the mob and the Trump playbook is the Cohn playbook- never admit to anything, deny, deny, deny and divert attention from your crimes

The Lincoln Project has played a blinder 👏👏👏
Joe Trippi@JoeTrippi
After over 40 years of working in political campaigns i had the honor of becoming a senior advisor to @ProjectLincoln The sole Democrat to join a courageous team of former Republicans I had worked against for years but joined together to defeat Trump and put our democracy ahead of party. What an amazing team. So grateful for the creative pirates that fought so hard for all of us! The fight is not over. But I wanted to say thanks.
