Today in tweets Trump didn't write himself
By blackace Go To Postso guess Biden is giving back the money he begged for the other day, right?any day now
Can't believe I'm going to have to do DY's whatabout bit here, but raising transition funds is a thing. Trump and Clinton did it in 2016, Romney did it in 2012, Bush did it in 2000, I'm assuming Obama also did it in 2008.
You'll note some of these candidates actually lost and yet still raised transition money.

By diehard Go To PostWhy would election losers raise transition money
They likely started before losing, of course, but it's noted that Romney raised nearly $9 million in transition funds.
If the Biden team reaches its new fundraising goal, it will be one of the best-funded transition efforts to date — at least when it comes to private fundraising. In 2016, Trump raised $6.5 million before he assumed the presidency. Hillary Clinton, who would’ve taken over from a fellow Democrat, raised just $2.1 million. Mitt Romney raised $8.9 million in 2012, part of what was widely considered one of the most organized transition efforts to date.
Biden’s transition team started fundraising in June, as Biden officials anticipated a potentially fraught handoff from the Trump administration. The Biden transition raised money discreetly during the campaign, with donors and Biden officials trying to avoid the appearance of presumptuousness, but both parties typically raise private funds to complement the public financing provided for the governmental changeover.
Same article notes Biden's goal is 7-10 million, and it sounds like he has already exceeded the lower boundary on that.

By aka Espi Go To PostI wouldn’t know what OAN or Ben Shapiro was if it wasn’t for slaentShapiro I knew of elsewhere because he’s huge but OAN I never knew about before Fender mentioned them here. That network is so smalltime.
By Laboured Go To PostThis genuinely feels like the end.
This was not written by Trump lol
Shapiro sent out a newsletter attacking fox and telling everyone to cut cable because even if you don’t want to you’re paying for MSNBC and CNN.
Edit: if that was his concession, when’s the pardon party and does he have Pence pardon him making Biden #47?

By Laboured Go To PostThis genuinely feels like the end.Oh my god you can smell the coming lib rehabilitation/exoneration effort from here
Fox News will eventually have to fight back in some way against Trumpism, because it's starting to stand directly in opposition to their organization. Problem is there don't seem to be any politicians with any clout worthy of championing for some kind of resistance efforts.
Biden's plan, like the one Trump has backed, will include more direct stimulus payments, but it doesn't specify how many or for how much, or if any of the qualifications would change. Democrats and Republicans are currently negotiating for more stimulus relief that would include another round of direct payments, but the clock is ticking to get a bill passed.
Fox News caught by surprise by the worst parts of the base they have been enabling for the past four years; didn't flip as easily as them into mask mode on.
