    Trustworthy ? Well that lets out Trump , his cronies and his supporters.

    I guess the Biden administration will have to ignore and marginalize these people, work with reasonable ones and just wait for the wing nuts to regain their sanity when they realize they are being left behind.
    That's about as fair as one could ask, and they don't deserve to be treated that well.

    Are you asserting that @XXJefferson#51 is a member of AntiFa?
    Or was that just a sad attempt to not take ownership of what your party has become?

    Wonderful.

    In the spirit of Unity and reconciliation we should bring together various minorities and other religions together including Bhuddist and Muslim elements, Native Americans and Immigrants - to reflect the diversity of the great nation of the United States.

    What say you?

    I thought that's what we were talking about based in the description. It certainly doesn't describe the gop. It would describe left extremists and also the right extremists and the anarchists as well. (Actually I believe that the anarchists are a bigger issue than people are willing to admit)

    Yeah, it those dammed people opposing the left's plan for destroying the American spirit would have just laid down and died, there would be no trouble.

    If you can't see things any clearer than what you have just stated, that old saying about "removing all doubt" applies.

    You have benefited from Trump's changes everyday, while you criticize and follow the leadership of fools. What will happen to you next- is deserved, and the Biden circus is going to give it to you good.
    Wait and watch. You never seen anything as ugly as what they have in store for us.

    If the "American spirit" can be destroyed by wearing masks and distancing during a pandemic then it deserves to be destroyed.

    I think you are on the wrong side of history. The rabid dogs are not who you think they are, but rather Trump and his goons, who stormed the capital and tried insurrection. Yes, we won't invite those for dinner. We will, however, gladly welcome those Trump voters back to the table, who have seen the light and say enough is enough. Are you going to be one of them, or rather a forever Trump loyalist who puts love of Trump before love of country? It's your choice.

    But of course, that has nothing to do with what's happening. It's inconvenient, and many politicians are using the pandemic abusively instead of wisely helping their citizens- but on the overall scale of current issues, the resistance to masks and distancing is miniscule. The tolerance and excusing of riots, the tolerance of massive censorship, the attacks on police and a hundred more things like that are massive.

    Wait a minute. People who have burned Minneapolis and several other cities, seized areas and declared their own country, looted the miracle mile of luxury stores in Chicago and resurrected racism are "peaceful protestors".

    Since the incident in Washington lacked all the violence the left ignored and excused, and was a legitimate protest involving hundreds of thousands, the left of course decided that a couple hundred getting out of control is a vicious riot. They do of course know the difference; it's doubtful they would bring home road apples if sent to gather eggs. Lacking that level of ignorance, they obviously do know what they are doing and are responsible for it.

    The inability or unwillingness to see the moral corruption of those you side with makes you look morally corrupt- and strips you of any credibility. Our situation was never really about Trump- it was about Trump standing in the way of people who have been intent on destroying your country for a long time. They have been at war with the American dream for decades, and with Obama's help thought they were close to
    destroying it permanently. IF Trump wasn't a threat to that, he would have been just a temporary nuisance issue.

    The guilty always slander the ones they attack, trying to justify what they have done. Yup, Trump made me do it. He knows we hate the way he wears his hair, so it's his fault.

    Second verse.... same as the first. Etc.

    Yes, that was a bit sarcastic.
    But, you won't be happy until someone agrees with you- and of course, that is how you define intelligence.
    Just throwing you the best bone I can in an attempt at making you feel better.

    I notice you have responded to @Quantum Nerd post (#4). Don't you think the first step to creating peace and harmony would be with Trump conceding, congratulating Biden, attending the inauguration and encouraging his supporters to follow suit?

    If you won’t heed Trumps call for healing and unity why would we listen to one from Biden after Pelosi puts the country through yet another fake impeachment and social media trashes us?

    The call for unity may in many ways be out of the question, but I agree with the idea of acceptance of those we disagree with. We may have different politics, but we have the same citizenship. Can we ever disagree in a civil and respectful way?

    He already urged for unity and healing and promised an orderly transition of power on the 20th. Is that not enough?

    "Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again."

    That’s fine by me. No problem at all. Religious liberty is for all Americans and thanks to Trump the GOP has moved from being an establishment blue blood elitist oriented party to a multi racial working and middle class America first populist Conservative party comprised mostly of theistic believers. Trump got a higher minority voter percentage of the vote than any republican since 1960 and the GOP congressional delegation has more women and minority community members than ever before. There are Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, Arab Americans, African Americans, and native Americans in our congressional delegation now. The days of the GOP being a party for older white men with lots of money are over and a bunch of those became democrats once their Lincoln project failed. We are Trumps party now.

    Trump's call? Are you losing it?

    Trump is a criminal. Hopefully, he gets locked up. Tomorrow, the process starts for his second impeachment. He will be impeached again by Wednesday.

    Trump is done. It's over. He doesn't get to make any calls. You can choose to follow this castrated criminal or make amends with the rest of the nation. You can begin by denouncing Trump and apologizing for ever supporting him. Lacking that, you're not worthy of reconciliation.

    "Okay Barb. We can mend our ways, but you can't file charges and I get to keep beating you up."

    Trump delirium. Your choice. Trump? Or sanity? Trump? Or the USA? Choose wisely.

    So what is the purpose of this thread then? Do you think that anyone believes Republicans will work in good faith or actually do any to go across the isle to find this “peace”? No. The Republican Party has moved to an anti-democracy platform.

    I agree. Much of the violence over the past year has probably been mostly the work of anarchists. I think they thrive in chaos. While peaceful protestors protest, they smash and run.

    We will now. If not now while Trump is still in office calling for it, not ever for the next four years...
