President Donald Trump........ **YOUR FIRED!**

Bahamians are rejoicing - back to anything goes. Spoiled.

praise God. now everyone who thinks they have some special insight into craziness that the rest of us blind dummies can't see can cease and desist. Hopefully this includes the FNM party who has been allowing Donald Trump emulation to rule them as some winning strategy

The Biden team has wasted no time in setting up their priority list for new foreign policy goals. The number one item on the list is to re-establish full diplomatic ties with Cuba by eliminating all existing travel and trade restrictions. It seems many of Biden's corporate backers are anxious for him to pick up where Obama left off in his efforts to once again make Cuba the main playground for American tourists and business interests alike in the Caribbean.

Or, by treating people with an iota of respect?

What's wrong with normalizing ties with Cuba? We have normal ties with Vietnam and China... both are communist countries just like Cuba. I am completely free to vacation in Vietnam and/or China -- but can't vacation in Cuba? Doesn't make any sense.

Then perhaps you can explain why The Bahamas wrongfully does not have "normalized ties" with the one and only real China, more specifically the Republic of China (ROC) a/k/a Taiwan.

Why does The Bahamas instead diplomatically recognize the very illegitimate People's Republic of China (PRC) a/k/a Communist China but not Taiwan?

Ohhh, that is an easy one... money!! The Bahamas (and the U.S.) purchase too much goods from China. Plus, the Bahamas also imports Chinese workers (e.g. the Baha Mar project). To put it simply, the US and many, many other countries do not want to upset China too much -- due to business, trade, and money. As for Taiwan... yes, it would be fantastic to normalize relations with Taiwan and recognize them as a fully independent country from China. That would be incredible and something I would support 110%!!

I would only add that the Chinese Communist Party is very skilled at bribing senior government offiicials in other countries to get what they want.

My Comrade ThisIsOurs, **unlike some other judges closer home,** the USA judges were not out for a replay of the Bush republicans types dirty politics. The ditching of **The Donald** for a Comrade President Joey **goin' for sure have serious consequences won't favour** best interests **the Commonwealth** of 1200 Islands, Cays, and Rocks. **Shakehead** once for Yeah, Twice for Not?

but neither does COVID.

Shaking my head, NOT!. You do not understand the ability of a Democratic Government Vs. a dictatorship.

Comrade wasn't talkin' about how to nod head best in human being the two comrades but rather governing policies. A Biden administration will be impacting we Commonwealth **but shouldn't our job be** to be at the ready for all outcomes?

... I would prefer a harsh talking leader with a heart for people who gets things done over a well rehearsed politician who says what people want to hear and has pursued self interest over the nations interest during their political career. It seems people just want to feel good and hear nice words while getting screwed by politicians!

Remember my fellow Bahamians Biden said

Crack Cocaine started in the Bahamas

Be careful what you are wishing for, one extra point, Biden is the same as a 1 quarter of a tank of gas, with 500 miles to travel, the Wicked Witch of the West Harris is what the Bahamas should be terrified of

maybe if we moved away from money laundering,drug trafficking, human smuggling and started innovating we wouldnt have so much to worry about Noone will save us. Trump wasn't interested in us that's a myth. Every country is interested in their people first and forward, its about time the Bahamas learns the lesson

My interest in Biden is not for some Bahamas friendly policy but that he works to put an end to this virus spread. This invisible microscopic bug has done more damage to us than any European blacklisting and to date any hurricane.

Time will tell,

BUT

Biden will do NOTHING that Trump hasn't done for Covid 19

Remember HEALTH in the USA is by STATE not Federal

Biden's already doing more than Trump has. He is forming a task force to combat the COVID-19 crisis. By contrast, Trump eliminated the National Security Council's pandemic unit:

... allowing a group of people to sit around and talk about what *they will do* is not doing anything, especially with a vaccine with 90% efficacy coming down the pike as a result of Trumps work!

Congrats to the President -Elect Joe Biden. The third time is a charm.

Congrats to Vice-President -Elect Kamala Harris. She represents something that has aided and driven development in the United States, immigration. A father who is an economist from Jamaica and a mother who was a researcher from India. The browning of America. Also a white JJewish husband.

Mr.Trump please concede defeat and leave office with some grace. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush did it.

You old enough to remember THIS

**Shakehead** once for Yeah hope the USA has **Insurrection Act,** Twice for Not smart today move comrade Jamaican into House as veep, by tomorrow she be's plotting a **sister Loretta** to become da prez.

Why did you not mention Al Gore?

A bit premature no? Did the electoral college announce a winner? Or just Cnn.......

Networks and newspapers report results, which are reported to them by the entities that are counting the votes. Duh.

the media doesn't decide who the winner of an election is but you people are so brainwashed by it you think it does. As the other person said it's the electoral college and they do not meet until December by which there will be many lawsuits by the Trump Administration over this election which will be contested because of voter fraud.

You have to *prove* fraud ... and we haven’t seen much proof yet. Just filing a lawsuit doesn’t prove anything, and a couple of the earliest suits have already been tossed out of court. As for the Electoral College — the electors vote according to the ballots cast in their state ... thus, they vote according to the numbers you’re seeing. It’s not a whole new election ... it’s a done deal.

There's lots of proof and lots of witnesses, Giuliani briefly spoke on it yesterday, hundreds of thousands of votes that are to be contested. But when the mainstream media ignores it and social media bans anyone for posting evidence and links because they're both corrupt, it's not surprising people like you think there isn't any evidence. Good thing there's the law and when it crashes with your manufactured version of reality created by FOX, CNN, MSNBC, Twitter and Facebook... I'm sure you'll be surprised.

Uh ... Rudy Giuliani holding a bizarre press conference in a crapped-out parking lot of a Philly landscaping firm, next door to a crematorium and a dirty-book store, is your idea of *proof*? Bwahahaha, LMAO. Yes ... everybody is lying, and only YOU know the real story. Anyhow, I think it is kind of the staff to loosen your straps on the weekends ... 🤣🤣😎

Millions of people know the "real story" not only me, it's naked fraud, anyone that's not brainwashed by the MSM can see exactly what's going on. It's people like you that are in la-la land. You're the one claiming hundreds of registered poll watchers are lying about fraud by laughing it off, not me. But you'll have a reality shock before the month is out when the press has to admit the issue is not going away.

Don't worry though, when it hits the courts and reality comes crashing down then CNN and MSNBC will tell you what to think again, probably that Trump is "stealing the election and a racist dictator". The location of the press conference has nothing to do with anything really, it's the witnesses that will testify under oath to fraud that matter and they are in the hundreds, this will go to the Supreme Court. Proof of dead people voting, people voting more than once, and hundreds of poll watchers denied to check HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots, which is standard procedure for mail-in ballots to be counted otherwise they're disqualified, even in the Bahamas our vote counting process has more integrity. Laugh now, Cry Later 🙃

Exactly. I wonder if Minnis can now be assured of reelection? All he has to do is follow the new play book - don't allow observers from any opposition Party to see the ballots when they are taken out of the box. Observers who "are in the room" but can't see - opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Look toward a viral spread of dictatorship around the world (and that's no coincidence). Pun intended.

Didn't Minnis instruct that 'red' colour ink and not 'blue' must be used for all thumb dipping by voters in the next national general election? Apparently he's sick and tired of the PLP blue colour ink that has traditionally been used. No joke!

This is a catastrophic day for the Bahamas.

Trump has been good for the Bahamas. Clinton forced the Bahamas to sign the exchange on demand agreements and Obama forced the Bahamas to sign the automatic exchange of information agreements, thus ending banking secrecy in the country. The result has been the closing of many banks and the loss of hundreds of good paying jobs for Bahamians. Under Trump we had no attack on the financial sector, only the EU has been blacklisting us. With Biden President we will see renewed attacks on the little that is left of our offshore sector.

Obama opened Cuba to Americans and we were about to witness a major switch of tourists from the Bahamas to this new destination. Fortunately, Trump put an end to this. The result is that currently the major foreign investors in the Bahamas are US cruise lines. If Cuba had been opened all these investments and tourists would have gone to Cuba. With Cuba opening up again you will see the main foreign investors in this country shift their attention South of the Bahamas.

And by the way Trump got more than 5 million votes than Obama in his second term and 12% of the black votes versus 4% for McCain. Just think about that for a minute…

And think about the fact that Biden received more votes than any president in the history of the US.

Think further that Trump votes were for a one term president while Obama was a two term presidet. What is it to get 5 million more and history shows you still lost compared to one with 5 million less who won?

Despite what may happen with Cuba, Trump was no more for the Bahamas than the EU or the US. Every country works for its own interest. and like THISisOurs said previously, it is time leaders of the Bahamas begin to learn the same thing.

exactly. Trump was opposing the global police state and OECD, now with Biden US will join EU efforts to crush places like Bahamas (and couple of others). And first of all they will put heavy restrictions on travel to/from US, eventually the airspace will be completely closed to "combat covid". If we have bad luck even no cargo will reach Bahamas. Say good bye to Bahamas basically with Harris and Biden. People in the Bahamas easily get fooled by Trump called racist and so on, but as you said he was keeping Bahamas from complete collapse. Now prepare for impact!

The Bahamas just simply needs to step its game up plain and simple. What else the governments sell besides sun, sand, and sea? Many other places offer it as well ad have attractions and things to do, and if Cuba opens up like under the Obama administration then the government of the Bahamas/bahamas in general has no one else to blame but themselves. The tourism sector isn't only for the Bahamas, we just failed to diversify and keep relying on same old same old. What has the tourism product offered here as in something to do for the tourists staying on new providence in let's say 5-10 years?

This is exactly what i was saying for years. The bahamas really only has a convenient location going for it. There are MANY other places that provide what we do and more. I always railed on our government for not doing more to beef up our tourism. Every island in this country has something to call its own, some have ssports fishing, others have bird watching, some have beautiful reefs or blue holes to explore. Yet the focus is always nassua, a place where tourists, upon leaving Paradise Island quickly see a drop in beauty depending on the direction they go. Cuba opening will either end us or push us to be better and for the sake of everyone, we better hope its the latter

This country could absolutely be doing more to improve its tourism. How many years has downtown Nassau been decaying the way it has? There need to be more activities and cultural experiences. People can have a nice beach anywhere in the Caribbean or even in Florida. Also, the people panicking about Cuba don't realize that Cuban hotels and resorts don't typically offer an experience that meets American standards. I have traveled to a lot of places and met a lot of Canadians (a huge percentage of tourists in Cuba) who have told me what it's like to travel to Cuba. Even they say the food isn't very good and the facilities are not as comfortable.

Victory at last! The fascist wanna be dictator has got his due. The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!! As for renewing relations with Cuba, it is about time. They are our next door neighbor and the 60 year old embargo HAS NOT WORKED! Better to get the people of Cuba on your side in order to get a change in the government than to continue a policy that is obviously futile! The only thing that the embargo has done is hurt the Cuban people and not the Cuban government! Where or where is the soothsayer JoeBlow? He predicted Trump would win. Glad that didn't happen! And now for a victory drink! Maybe two! This win for which I worked my tail off has to be savoured!

You don't know what a Fascist is.

You appear clueless.

Just go watch CNN.

I am so glad that at least the Associated Press remains unbiased😂🤣😂

Joe Biden's victory is a good day for America and for the world. Trump will go down as the worst President in American history. He surrounded himself with sycophants, befriended tyrants, offended traditional allies, pulled out of climate agreements and trashed America's reputation as a world leader. Worst of all, through his negligence, he allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to die of COVID. He should not be forgiven for that. The American people have spoken loud and clear: the character of the President matters. Joe Biden, however, is left with one huge mess to try and fix. Let's hope he succeeds - it is very much in Bahamas' interests that he does.

Just like having the choice between the current FNM government and the PLP to run the country. Trying to pick the lesser of two evils. At least the exceptionally politically incorrect leaders spur the masses out to vote while they still maintain that privilege.....

My Comrade DDK, a **Healin'** comes over we Commonwealth 1200 Out Islands, Cays, and Rocks are not something just pops right out televisions screens, the miraculous kinds likes see on Sunday mornings television evangelists who just be's yankin' a **Healin** right out blue. It goin' requires fulls scale smart hard-fought boots take to the streets general election.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS DONALD TRUMP AND IT SHALL REMAIN SO, THE LORD'S WILLING, FOR THE NEXT FOUR (4) YEARS & TWO (2) MONTHS.

You got the 2 months part correct. And there’s no need to SHOUT. Typing in all-caps is rude, and across the internet it’s considered to be a sign of a moron at the keyboard.

Unfortunately the Trump campaign did not appreciate that no Red Wave could ever have been big enough to overcome the Blue Wave of ballot box stuffing engineered by the very sinister and evil forces behind the deep state military industrial complex, the high tech giants and big media. As a socialist state, the US will be ripe for the pickings by its superwealthy ruling class of oligarchs. The stars have never been aligned better for the Chinese Communist Party. LOL

that's the first nonsensical thing I've ever heard you say. There's no massive ballot box stuffing in the US. In fact I believe Trump did over and above what was expected. He could have won. But he dudnt. plain and simple he lost. Will Biden be a great President? I don't know. Nobody does. I am expecting that he will listen to the Joint Chiefs, he won't start any unnecessary conflicts, he wont support dictators and he'll listen to scientists on this covid thing. heavy is the head that wears the crown... with the exception of Donald, his was light as a feather

Waiting patiently for actual evidence of “ballot box stuffing,” especially given that *all* the polls in the U.S. had both Democrat and Republican observers present during the voting and the counting. As for all the conspiracy theory crap ... 💤 💤

Idiot Trump shot himself in the foot when he told his cult that they shouldn't trust vote by mail. Democrats' mail-in ballots are what killed him. Thank God.

Yup ... ‘zackly ... in the midst of a global pandemic he cast suspicion over mail-in ballots and discouraged Republicans from voting by mail, or even in advance at dropoff locations. And then it all backfired on him. Whadda moron.

You can skip the first two minutes, and then hear what Diamond & Silk have to say.

Just another DNC puppet, like his former boss!
