Nikki Haley's concession speech was a somewhat meek last stand of Republican resistance against the MAGA takeover of the party. She quoted Thatcher, and alluded to Reagan and 'A Time for Choosing.'
Did you see/hear Joe Biden today. Was it wishful thinking on my part or did he lift his game to stratospheric heights ? He was overwhelmingly positive and upbeat, but still rubbed Trump's nose in the shit. Big appeal to women voters - reproductive rights - living examples of two women run through hell because of the fuckwit conservative supreme court overturning Roe V Wade - and Texans shutting down IVF and abortion clinics.
The Congress crowd was on its feet cheering and clapping - except for the rump of republicans sitting there like a pack of dressed down Cranbrook Schoolboys.
Joe got stuck into big pharma and touted his triumph in forcing them to drop a month's supply of insulin down from $400 to $35.
His pitch was clever - he said "The middle class needs to succeed because they drive the rebuilding of America. And the workers are their builders" - and he praised the head of American Auto Workers Union for forcing the car industry to stop closing plants and to rebuild plants producing EVs. More cheering.
He made the Republicans look like a bunch of ignorant pigs for refusing to rubber stamp ams for the Ukraine - saying "History would not be kind to Americans who walked away from their role preserving world peace. (I had to leave so I don't know what he said about Israel, but that was an open sore for him bleeding votes)
It was like Gough's "It's Time" speech - he was radiating hope.
For a moment there I almost wanted to become an American.
Love to hear your thoughts about Biden's performance. FFS - he even quoted Reagan "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall !" and contrasted this with Trump's pally-wally relationship with Putin.

Haven’t seen it yet but look forward to having a watch. Thanks for heads up!
