As scheduled, President Donald Trump and Joe Biden meet in the Oval Office to discuss the transition of power. Joe Biden delivers remarks, including “welcome back.” President Trump thanks Joe Biden for his efforts to ensure a smooth transition. Then the insufferable media go bananas. WATCH:
There’s a livestream below as President Trump and Joe Biden meet behind closed doors together with their Chief’s of Staff.
The media is awaiting President Trump’s exit from the White House.
.

Both men are good actors.
Kind of a requirement for the job — Trump has been through so much!
And Thune is picked for Senate majority leader. So the anti-MAGA uniparty runs the upper chamber and will obstruct the populist agenda. Another win for corruption.
Well maybe not for long if he wants to move back to SD.
If he wants to be governor, he will have to wait until 2026. Lt. Gov. Rhoden will succeed Noem.
So you think Sundance was in error regarding his speculation about Noem calling for a special election to fill her vacancy ?
Yes.
See SD Constitution, article 4, section 6:
“When the office of Governor shall become vacant through death, resignation, failure to qualify, conviction after impeachment or permanent disability of the Governor, the lieutenant governor shall succeed to the office and powers of the Governor. “
Is there a time limit on how long the LG can serve as Governor before an election?
The Lt. Gov will finish the term.
Murkowski was appointed by her corrupt Dad looonnnnggggg ago.
Yes. Wishful thinking aint reality.
She can’t. It’s SD law that the Lt. Gov. fills the vacancy.
No he doesn’t want to move back until the Senate is back in Democrat control.
Too bad. Fox News says “Sources told Fox News Digital that no candidate reached a majority on the first secret ballot. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., received the least amount of votes and was knocked out of the race. The second secret ballot was between only Thune and Cornyn.“
Yuk…. I guess the calls and e-mails caused no one to fold under a secret ballot.. and why should a corporation (rnc) hold sway over the electorate in both choices and secrecy.. ya who’s gonna do anything.
Leak or release the VOTES…we need to KNOW WHO these senators are.
Release them. There should never be a secret vote for anything!
in Corporate Republic(extab.1871) it’s everything possible…..
HATE/DESPISE capitol hill.
NEEDS to be shut down or destroyed.
Career politicians that incentivize themselves with mega $$$. Greedy whores. Damn THE people and this country.
TRUMP BETTER BEAT THE H*** out of Thune.
We unfortunately knew it was coming. How to rid ourselves of the rino obstruction is the real question now..
Trump takes it to them. IN THEIR FACES and tells the public daily what he’s doing and WHO are the enemies….
Fireside chats.
Yes! Thune is a snake but the less of two evils. Lifelong Texan here. LBJ stole elections back in the day. Read “A Texan Looks At Lyndon” by J Evetts Haley. Sorry, a little off topic.
While it is annoying and I reached out to my senator this isn’t surprising.
It will take more election cycles to fix things. At some point the “secret” ballot will leak and you will know who to start finding candidates to primary them
While running time off the clock.
What’s time to a hog ?
There all up for slaughter.
We got dogs specifically trained to pin a hog.
Release the DOGEs !!!
Trust God. Fear not.
I can’t wait to hear all the Senate pigs squeal when DODGE starts making recommendations
Trump plays 4D chess. With Kristi Noem moving to Homeland Security, it leaves the S. Dakota Governor position open for S. Dakota Senator John Thune. I understand that Thune’s wife would love to move back to S. Dakota as their first lady. Stay tuned.
Work on her! With grace and consideration of course! Not like Democrats would!
Why, so even-worse Cornyn would assume the position?
No.
SD Lt. Gov becomes governor and finishes the term.
Saw an early tweet. “Why the roaring fire?” Symbolic, or coincidental? Maybe Joe is just cold?
I noticed his purple tie as a match for the roaring 🔥 fire to send a message…
The Lord be with you, President Trump
Double up on your angelic security 🙏🏻
Amen Betty.
Beautiful image! 🙏 ❤️
Haha! You ROCK Betsy!
Screeching, mostly female voices howling into the ether. What a performance!
I like the way Trump and Biden looked at each other as if to say “these women are nuts.” 🥜 Why yes. Yes they are.
What the AF?!
It sure didn’t take long for the WH “presstitute corp” to revert back to their disgraceful and unprofessional decorum of disrespectfully screeching and howling at PDJT.
I am confident that PDJT and his team will tame these lunatics.
The return of chopper pressers.
It will be glorious.
I don’t want President Trump to do those helicopter pressers. Too noisy and the press doesn’t deserve it. They don’t deserve the time or the opportunity to edit, misconstrue or opine on him or his message.
Don’t feed the beast. Let them starve.
I thought it was kind of funny how they had to wait out there in the cold, wind, and snow and how our President was always dressed for it and would make sure to call on as many as he could and answer in the fullest way possible. They all had to get their exclusives…..Not much reason to be nice and considerate to them that I can see.
Kari Lake for the taming of the shrew.
Banshees
Right in one.
Jackals.
These women are an embarrassment.
They don’t even have any real questions.
They just want to throw a few insults out there for the president elect.
That’s how it was during the Covid daily briefings during PTrump’s first term. We never learned much of anything to help us deal with the scourge.
I’m so old I remember when people practiced decorum in public.
The entire world looks to the U.S. The press is an embarrassment to themselves and our country.
Miss Manners would be cringing….
MNN BREAKING…
BIDEN PROMISES A SMOOTH TRANSITION BY NOT SHOOTING PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE HEAD AGAIN
“Welcome back.”
“Really didn’t go anywhere, Joe.”
“Yea, I see that now.”
Wonder if Buraq and Val Jarrett are going to move back to DC.
Half the people will be moving out. If you want to get any money for your house, sell now.
The “press” sounded like a kindergarten class getting ready to go on their first field trip.
The screeching monkeys never pulled this stuff on Pedo Joe. They can’t even wait until President Trump is inaugurated.
We will have, no doubt, a return to chopper pressers?
They will never be heard above the chopper…or maybe with difficulty.
In their defense, I CAN’T EITHER!!
Lord, please keep Mr. Trump in the shadow of your wings…………as you always have. In Jesus’ name I pray, pleading his blood, amen.
Amen!
I don’t think Trump should acknowledge the press this time around. Just put out a statement every now and then.
I agree 100%. The media no longer are the eyes and ears of the folks. President Trump can use Truth Social some other outlet to get his message out. He won’t be running again, so he can ignore the press jackals.
That should finish the MSM since they would have NOTHING to talk about.
Put one up on Truth Social and X. Every M, W, F.
Turn off the comments section.
play it Kamala la la’s way. the press seemed to like it.
Or send Bannon out to drive them crazy.
YES! Well done Jim.
The noise of the media shouting questions…
🤨🥴😖😵💫
Did Biden admit that he voted for Trump? 🙂
Oh, you know he did! Jill and Hunter, too.
Mentor Jill’s Red Dress on her way to vote on 11/5 said it all to Harris.
She even topped it off with a ‘dark MAGA’ belt and shoes…
She did miss a face shield……
In England we call that a baying mob.
I sure as hell didn’t see any foxes around….just beeches barking.
Throw them a bone once in awhile President Trump. They deserve nothing more.
I saw only braying and insufferable media hacks. Maybe if they were polite they would get an answer.
All I can say is, “PDT, we feel your cringe”
In your face biden to harris.
In you face Trump to biden.
Trump and Biden have been in talks for over an hour now, so this WH tête-à-tête is more than just a proforma political photo op chat. Trump is probably ‘mansplaining’ our new reality to old Joe from Scranton.
Hope Donald has very loyal and professional security protection while in the Belly of the Beast today.
“Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” While Trump was meeting with lunch bucket Joe, the Senate was busy electing John Thune to succeed McConnell. By virtue of the secret ballot, Thune has not moral authority to govern. Only a sociopath would willingly accept the position given to him via secret ballot.
Trump needs to DESTROY Thune, at every opportunity.
He gave McConnell and Ryan a PASS. See how that worked.
Yes, I do see how that worked! And McConnell gave him Thune. PT has McConnell’s answer.
I look forward to PT’s answer to Turtle and McThune!
McThune. I like that.
I’m sure DT will effusively congratulate Thune just like he initially did Barr etc.
Yup. McConnell Jr.
I’m sorry, but Real President Trump is far too nice to this treasonous, criminally-installed, child-trafficking Puppet Dictator.
It’s not politics, its Good and Evil and Joey Child-Rapist picked his team long ago.
Proverbs 8:13
To fear the Lord is to hate evil.
I hate pride, arrogance, evil behavior, and twisted speech.
Yes, Lord!
Fake president from the start.
Joe will be DOGE’d real soon albeit not soon enough. Good grief. Spit
I want to know only one thing: Who is that blonde?
President-elect Trump.
Biden” Please pardon me man. I’ll wear a MAGA hat the rest of my life. I’ll stop sniffing little girl’s hair.”
Biden to Trump: “I like your previous comment about considering pardoning my son Hunter.”
Trump to Biden: “That may happen if all these frivolous legal games against me go bye bye.”
Biden to Trump: “Let me see what I can do.”
Trump to Biden: “Every Father loves his children and wants to see them out of trouble.”
Biden can, and probably will, pardon his son himself.
Will he pardon Jim and Jill too? Hunter is obviously in legal jeopardy but so is Jim. Jill likely is too if she’s been usurping any presidential powers illegitimately while Biden is borderline mentally incapacitated. Joe could pardon them all but it would make it clear his family is a bunch of criminals. I think he would rather throw the democrats under the bus than his family.
Jill should be charged with repeated fashion and bad taste crimes
Look, any woman who tries so hard to look like Alice Cooper is obviously not mentally fit to stand trial.
How many sofas did she murder for her wardrobe?
It worked for Biden in Ukraine.
As many of us thought, the democrat cheat was focused down ballot. I hope this election this is fought against and looked into
Republican Wisconsin Senate Candidate Eric Hovde Breaks Silence After 90% of 4 AM Milwaukee Ballot Dump Favors Democrat Opponent
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/republican-wisconsin-senate-candidate-eric-hovde-breaks-silence/
If Hovde is this much of a chicken-shite, then let him slink away.
Agree. Don’t go all Nick Frietas on us. Get some damn lawyers and get to work. RNC? Where are you? Need help? Ask for it.
Nick Freitas? I thought he was pretty good…what’s your beef with him?
Me, too….I really like his YT Shorts…
Yeah, I thought his 4 minute talk was weak sauce. I mean, what did he think was going to happen?
He must have thought the 2020 election was the most secure election in history….like CNN said.
Wisconsin has “same day registration”. In some areas 50% or greater votes that were dropped at 4am were “same day registration”. That is a percentage way above any thing historically.
When Kerry was running for president in 2004 there was a “same day registration” scandal in Milwaukee. The LE working on this said he knew what to look for. By the 2008 election, LE was told to “stand down” from looking for any fraud by D operatives such as the DA.
imo- We are told that certain people, that live in certain areas, and tend to vote a certain way, don’t have the acumen to get a voter id, that they are “burdened” by having to go to the polls in person, etc. Now somehow they get their butts out of bed, go to the polls in person, go through the additional burden of same day registration, and vote, for Ds in large percentages in 2024 in Milwaukee.
Doesn’t pass smell test.
I have so many different names for the Mafia Media but after listening to this video clip, I call them The Magpie Media – a Magpie is described in the dictionary as a person who chatters noisily. They are hilarious.
Wow. The lame stream media has no class, no class at all. Bunch of screaming meemies. Sheesh.
It’s an act, what they actually are is far worse than any epithet we could imagine.
The MarxMerdia is a fully integrated element of the Derp State, which must be destroyed!!
And the confused cacophony erupts as soon as it senses Biden finished making his remarks.
Geez, the press in that room sounded like an out of control kindergarten. I gave up waiting for the outside presser and went to the store. I believe I am done all those nasty children.
Yawn, fell asleep years ago.
Same old same old. Like Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football. 😠My supply of hopium has run bone dry. Won’t get fooled again. Enough is enough!
So the Communist Party Operatives really let you down this time?
What could you possibly have hoped of such monsters?
The new press secretary should walk to the podium at the daily press briefing and read the weather report to the press and then leave.
Every day for 6 months ought to do it.
If Alina Habba indeed takes that role, I’d watch that weather report every single day!
Oh oh! Somebody let the Kindergartners into the room mistaking them for adult journalists.
It reminded me of a school bus full of unruly kids on the last day of school.
I wonder if the media ever listen to themselves. After Biden spoke, they loudly spoke over themselves trying to ask questions of Trump and/or Biden. They did it so long, I had to stop the video since it was so loud and confusing with the media members speaking over each other. It seemed so impolite and childish.
Trump can find the way out the door. Biden cannot.
Biden is a bad actor. Trump is being himself.
Biden will let the door hit him in the rear.
Trump won’t.
😉😏
ENJOY
Love this guy and what the H is an assylee – did she just make this term up?
No, that’s a legit term.
There was a great AI video (since deleted) of Joe Biden where he says, “Donald Trump has beat more women than Doug Emhoff.”
🇺🇸 BIDEN’S STAFFERS GATHER TO WATCH TRUMP’S ARRIVAL AT THE WHITE HOUSE
CNN Reporter:
“They’re there to watch a historic moment being made that nobody standing there wanted.”

I wish we could get another photo of the sour staff like the outgoing Obama team from 2016.
well what do you know, Valerie Jarret front and center. She is a cancer.
That was from 2016.
Same concept though.
Dem mugs are shot!
where is a Plouffe…???
The Press just insists on beclowning themselves every single day.
Yes, Indeedy!
The Turtle is very happy today.
Biden has that mile-wide grin again, sure seems happy considering his VP just lost to “Hitler” who is sitting next to him … ?
Hmmmm…..
Maybe he just ratted out the details on Obama’s, Clinton’s, Soros, Pelosi and a bunch of judges! Senility? Yeah, Right!
Or filled his diaper.
Or saw his caregiver arrive with his dish of pudding.
did he get honorary OSCAR ..???
Probably just heard about Thune.
PJDT seems to be holding his firearm from being exposed….
Hopefully Mr 47 brought his X-branded VR Goggles.
Makes it easier to interact with a flickering avatar!
So, a whopping 39 seconds of The Resident and President Elect making nice after an election and the rest of the time is just the Shrieking Banshees and Howling Jackals of the Living Dead Disrespectful Pressitude Corpses.
Kinda historically, politically poetic in a Edgar Allen Poe sort of way, eh!?!
Hopefully, We The People say; “Nevermore”!
I hope he stops by the gulag, unannounced, and insists he be allowed to see the conditions they are keeping the J6ers in. Prays with them and takes pix and releases them to the world.
Absolutely.
And I’m thinking many, many people who work in that jail, including the warden, need to be fired and held to account.
It would have brought about levity to the scene if Trump said to Biden’s welcome, “Thank you. I would like to know if you got that toilet handle in the Lincoln bathroom fixed or do you still have to shake it?”
Notice the style choice: “President Trump” and “Joe Biden.”
I’ve never once referred to Joe Biden by title, he’s just “Joe Biden.” Sundance, same/same.
Approved!
“Mumble mumble … mumble mumble”
And President Trump politely pretends not to notice.
I actually got a little emotional seeing the peaceful transfer of power
The “press” ridiculously barked like mad dogs for 1:10 straight. “Thanks guys”. Just get lost, losers!
President-elect Donald Trump told The Post Wednesday that he and President Biden “both really enjoyed seeing each other” when they sat down for a historic post-election get-together in the Oval Office.
“You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog,” the 78-year-old said during a phone interview as he left Washington. “It’s been a lot of work on both sides and he did a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else. We really had a really good meeting.”
“We got to know each other again.”
The last two presidents of the United States discussed the transition of power on Jan. 20, with Trump telling Biden in front of the world’s press that it would be “as smooth as can be” following the Republican’s attempt to contest the results four years ago that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“It’s going very smoothly,” Trump told The Post of the process of picking officials for his second term, added adding that the Republican transition team and the Biden White House enjoy a “very, very good relationship.”
The president-elect added that he and Biden did discuss two issues on which they have differed in the past: the war in Ukraine, which Trump has promised to end almost immediately upon taking office; and the ongoing war in the Middle East, with the Republican standard-bearer accusing the Biden administration of being insufficiently supportive of Israel.
“I wanted — I asked for his views and he gave them to me,” Trump told The Post. “Also, we talked very much about the Middle East, likewise. I wanted to know his views on where we are and what what he thinks. And he gave them to me, he was very gracious.”
Trump also revealed that he and Biden are expecting to see each other again just before his inauguration, which the Democratic incumbent has already said he would attend.
“The Oval Office is so beautiful and I do certainly look forward [to coming back],” he said.

Jackals = Media
Just thinking the same thing. Our leaders are not kings and queens but a little respect is due. And these so called media types have agendas.
Jack- Asses= mudia!!
It is time for them to go. Going to run out of ink printing up pink slips if the market share numbers are correct.
