President-elect Joe Biden pleaded with Americans to take steps to remain safe over the Thanksgiving holiday as COVID-19 cases soar, while President Donald Trump pardoned a former aide who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI

Biden gave a presidential-style speech acknowledging people’s fatigue with restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic, but urged them to exercise caution as caseloads surge.

Shortly after Biden spoke, Trump pardoned his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the former Russian ambassador in Washington.

Since winning the Nov. 3 election, Biden has offered a message of healing and reconciliation after Trump’s tumultuous term, while the president still refuses to concede and falsely claimed again on Wednesday that Biden’s victory was stolen.“Our democracy was tested this year,” Biden said. “In America, we have full and fair and free elections and then we honor the results. The people of this nation and the laws of the land won’t stand for anything else.

Trump has waged a failed legal battle to overturn the election results. The outgoing president on Wednesday canceled a trip to accompany his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to a meeting of Republican state legislators in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Giuliani repeated his unsubstantiated allegations of voting fraud.

Trump admin is full of criminals

Biden exaggeratedly announced the cabinet? Could it become a big joke in the world soon in the future?

...and this is unbiased journalism how? FakeNews

Biden is not president-elect, yet. The media is so inaccurate in its reporting. Trump pardoned a man set up and framed by the rogue Comey FBI.

kittyclinton2 Rump also encouraged big gatherings/ I consider him to be culpable for much of the pain snd death surrounding Covid

At least label opinion pieces more clearly.

There is no way to prevent getting it. Our family “played it safe” and now have it.

Flynn was coerced to plead guilty. And the FBI hid exculpatory information in his case. Reuters sucks at honesty. PS. It’s projected President-elect

an speaking incoherently 77 years old man implicated with son’s corrupt got 88 millions record votes in the history, unbelievable. american people are sicked or duped?

Well now that is some real economic truth telling. Obama and co should be in jail for the stunt they pulled on that man.

There’s one important fact to remember here General Flynn is still bound by military law, and holds many of the country’s most guarded secrets It is well within the federal government’s rights to be curious whenever generals secretly meet with hostile foreign nations.

The Democratic mayor of Denver implored people to stay home as well but got on a plane to go see family.

fake president as fake news😂😂

So Trump pardoned a innocent man. Seems to me the president did something truly wonderful that truly makes a difference . Joe just read a speech some ass kisser wrote for him . The fraud illegitimate so called president elect should be in jail by now if we had a honest system

So you're still calling him president elect....what a perpetual delusion?
