Biden is being a gentleman doing what is expected of him and accepting that the public elected a sack of shit who didn't even show up for Biden's inauguration and tried to seize the government. The point is, the public did elect the sack of shit this time, and Biden respects that. He's doing his job, no matter how hard he's gonna have to wash that hand.
Now explain why Trump using violence to overthrow an election is an attempted coup, but Biden doing it is protecting the constitution.
I am all for Trump getting his shit pushed in and I wish him nothing but the worst, but don't pretend that your double standard is somehow a righteous defense of the Constitution.
Should he have given mango bastard both barrels of the ol' S-Mart special as soon as he walked in the door? Maybe. Would that have changed anything in the medium or long term? Not at all. He'd have to mow his way through half of Congress to make a dent.
You're not wrong about the first part and the constitution, by way of how the votes came in, says Trump is the next President.
If that makes Biden derelict of his duty, however, that would be a leap because I don't think Trump has been convicted or otherwise held to account of anything that would be disqualifying.
If the sitting president can eliminate the incoming president because he believes him to be a threat then damn, were right back to where we started.
Sure, why not? America is rapidly turning into a tinderbox, Biden would at least be incredibly based if he lit the fuse. It'd certainly increase his status in the history books, because right now I imagine he'll look pretty goddamn stupid.
I was thinking about if Jimmy Carter covertly got a gun and suddenly laid out Trump and Vance. What are they gonna do, send the centenarian to prison? Assume the old guy was in cahoots with the rest of the party and not just off his rocker?
Remember when Trump won the first time and all that "lock her up" bullshit evaporated. He even said nice things about Hillary after he won. Pepperidge farm remembers.
They're in the same class. They have no skin in the game. Their families and friends aren't at risk of shit, except for the excruciating decision of what to do with all that privilege they've got knowing an ex-President. That golden parachute of the lecture tour and book deals and fundraisers is always gonna be there for any career politician. Biden "tried his best" guys and that's good enough. Take solace in that as you're carted off to the blacksite.

But yeah, I said that months ago and was downvoted for it. None of their lives are going to be affected by any of this, any of this fascism coming through. That'll be for us poors to bear, the wealthy don't hurt the wealthy. It's the only honor amongst them.
