[Teddy Eagle]

Since he lost the election Biden and his team have been issuing proclamations almost directly opposed to what Trump will do for instance banning offshore oil and gas exploration.

It's ridiculous that a leader who has no mandate can continue to run the country and make policy directly against what the incoming President will do. He's just trying to wreck it for Trump.

Most outgoing Presidents do very little in the dog days because they feel an obligation to the electorate, of course if the incoming is from the same party they can work together. What Biden is doing he should be ashamed of himself.

It's almost as though he doesn't know what's going on but surely that's not the case.

Others might say he that as he remains President he has a duty to do whatever he sees is necessary for his country.

What is necessary is, of course, a matter of opinion but his may well be to protect the USA, and it’s allies from the worst excesses of someone regarded by him, and many others, as a totally unsuitable and corrupt felon who was the worst President in history, as best he can.

He could have just sat back and done nothing by taking the attitude that as the people put themselves in this situation then they should accept the consequences. It would have been a lot easier, but he took the more active path.

His country will eventually thank him.

Do you honestly believe that anything being done is at his behest? When he thinks those who've lost everything in the current fires will be pleased to hear about his family news that isn't likely.

He has no mandate. A responsible President would either avoid policies he knows the incoming President will reject and work with him on areas where they can agree.

Passing laws he knows will be revoked is just throwing toys out of a pram.

Of course I do. He is thinking ok. He has mobility issues.

Of course it is. He's as sharp as a sack full of wet mice.

Working with Trump is impossible.

He has a mandate until the moment he steps down. Some things cannot be revoked and those that can will receive publicity.

If Mickey was the incoming President things would look a whole lot better!

Fox News host tells Canadians it should be ‘a privilege to be taken over’ by the US.

Fox News presenter Jesse Watters has told Canadians they should see it as a 'privilege' to become part of the US and said: 'The fact that they don't want to become part of America makes me want to make them'.

It comes after President-elect Donald Trump has increasingly floated the idea of making Canada the 51st US state, going as far to threaten economic force to make it happen.

They really are like this.

🙄

It's trolling Steely.

Whatever happened to the left?

When I was young it was the right who took everything literally and now it's the left.

No one's invading Canada.

We just want their cheese, their economy and their good looking women and will accept no excuses.

Perfectly reasonable.

You're getting a bit carried a way on the cheese front Stirling.

Just between you and me Ted, it's getting worse.

Anymore than a few hours without a cheese hit and my hands start to shake.

I'm meeting my cheese dealer down a back alley tonight.

Can't trust the b****** though, he scammed me, gave me 'extra mature' that he'd cut with some 'mild'.

You have to be careful out there, turn your back and it's babybel.

It's a slippery slope. You'll be mainlining Stilton before long and snorting Wensleydale like a Hoover.
Go Caerphilly.

These cheese jokes are beginning to grate.

At least none of them are blue.

Yup his two brain cells are watching telly now in his head avoiding being mobile. A bit like the numskulls from the Dandy 😂

Everyone playing nicely at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Trump next to Obama. At least someone has a sense of humour.

God only knows. It'd be good to find out she's got some American relations to see how keen they are on taking her in.
