    I agree that #4 won't happen. I also believe #2 won't happen. Pence doesn't have it in him.

    If #1, Trump resigns, do you think Pence will pardon him? That won't help for the charges on the state level, but they could for any Federal charges.

    The only message most on the right heard was "I'm not Donald Trump," on the rare occasions when Biden rose from the depths of the basement. That was the major piece of his platform. He has hypocritically called himself a "unity" leader, when all he has done is to continually bash Trump in order to show himself "the better".

    His "Orange Man Bad" speech yesterday was disgusting. He has the bully pulpit now to truly unite or continue to divide. Not even in office yet, it appears we are starting out with partisan rhetoric "Well, look how bad Trump is," rather than consoling a nation divided. That is not leadership.

    Don't get me wrong. Trump completely mishandled the protest rally this week, but Biden is not helping make things one bit better. I don't suspect he will. Hate and anger is more motivating to voters than peace and love. It also enriches the corrupted corporate media. Hate and anger requires an enemy of the people, either real or constructed by constant rhetoric and propaganda.

    Would you pointing me to which Biden speech you are referring to? I didn't see that one.

    I agree wholeheartedly about the media. The bloodlust is revolting.

    Don't know what Pence will do. A pardon is doubtful. That would just anger people left-of-center and I think Pence is capable of taking the high road more than any other top-level leader right now in considering the feelings of all Americans and the need for calm. Whatever he does, I'll think it will be an attempt to pour water on the national fire. He won't try to put it out with more wood and a blow torch like everyone else in Washington seems to be doing.

    Trump has technically not committed any federal crimes, but if we want the incoming DOJ to spend taxpayer money to absolutely crucify a man in order to satisfy the public's blood lust (which was created by the media and elite politicos), then so we shall.

    Endless investigations and crucifixions. No meaningful legislation for the people. A bunch of tax money going to figuratively kill someone else's political reputation. That's our current state of government. Banana Republic.

    I was at work yesterday and had this on as "background noise" so I didn't hear every word, but Biden set the theme in the first few minutes. Most people agree that the very few people who caused all the riotous damage are criminal insurgents, but what the majority of people on the right will hear is Biden painting everyone on the right with a broad brush. Then he just rants about "Orange Man Bad"....deserves to be burned at the stake.....blah, blah, blah.

    He had the option to use an infinite number of messages. A forward-looking, positive, unifying message would have been a good thing. That didn't happen.

    I agree that he didn't concede the election. He never will. As to taxes paid, I suggest that your beef is with the tax laws, not the people and companies that follow them.

    I quoted it to say that Trump also has financial interests in China, and at least in one occasion, his action doesn't pass the smell test, and is highly suspicious for a backroom deal with Xi. Can it be proven? Absolutely not. But it stinks. So, if people feel free to throw innuendo at Biden about links to China, they should realize that Trump does have those, as well.

    Propaganda Alert!

    Joe Biden has moved Democrats toward the political center and you aren't going to be successful attacking Democrats from your perch on the far right.
    Propaganda Alert!

    People are getting tired of this BS.
    Fearmongering Alert!
    We'll see. Anti-vaxxers, the changing SARS-CoV-2 virus, and possible short-term protection from vaccines could make your victory lap premature.
    A lot of Republicans support wearing masks.

    OK. Innuendo means nothing in politics. It is politics itself. What can't be proven is opinion. Opinion is politics itself.

    More extreme trash talk.
    Are you prepared to at the same time look at Republican gerrymandering that resulted in this...?

    How about voter suppression generally?

    Did he break the law? If he did, he should be prosecuted. The vast majority of BLM protests are peaceful.

    What about the thugs who attacked the Capitol? Should they be prosecuted?

    You won't win by attacking a centrist Democrat from your far right perch.

    LOL.. Ok, he was an active member of the protest, filmed and photographed in the melee... So, he can be your first real BLM person you'd prosecute... Only took 8 months to get you to suggest this. Perhaps this is movement? Nah. I doubt it. I don't actually think you mean it or are being honest.

    I just got done describing the real world to you. You should read Animal Farm sometime, then you might realize what is going on before your very eyes... I'd suggest reading 1984 and The Giver as well...

    If, as a lot of folks now believe, a "centrist democrat" would be a valued party member in the CCP. Good of you to self identify like that.

    Are you game to look at voter suppression? How about gerrymandering that resulted in this...?

    There are a lot of GOP creepy crawlers on underside of the rock you want to turn over.

    You don't speak for most Americans.
    Once again you promote Trump's Big Lie.

    It may take Republicans longer to cleanse the party of Trump supporters.

    You remind me of leftwingers I ran across in the late 1960s who thought "The Revolution" was going to put them in power. A decade later it was "Morning in America" with Ronald Reagan.
