Looking at what Biden is saying and what people he's nominating I think it's rather clear that Biden is by no means a moderate. He's a left-wing extremist who would be consider too extreme by most European countries.

Trump's legacy will be the infamy of Jan 6th, 2021, sadly. Americans are unforgiving in this respect. Nixon had his merits, but his reputation never recovered. Lincoln is a saint for somehow weaving the country back together. Wilson won a war, as did Truman. Reagan and George W. Bush were very good persons and loving spouses. Reagan finished communism off. George Bush oversaw unification of Germany. Clinton was handsome and balanced the budget with Newt. George W. Invested in Africa and in American children, also managed 911 admirably. Obama will forever be etched in the history books as the first man of color in that post, no matter what else you and I agree or disagree on. As for Trump, the scenes of Jan 6th 2021 will dominate. I hope his clarity on Israel and his dedication to the rue of law at the Southern border will prevail. But they are peanuts compared to his morbid stubbornness, his inability to recognize who he is, his bullying and his perpetual fact twisting which led this nadir of American political culture.

Daniel Greenfield January 24,2021.
On a cold, windy day with a small group of spectators watching from behind barbed wire, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Swore another in a long series of false oaths before his motorcade passed between a long row of soldiers with their backs to him looking outward for threats.
No inauguration has been this empty in a century of American history. And at no inauguration have the spectators been outnumbered by a raw display of armed force. American presidents have been inaugurated in wartime and during actual national emergencies with a better turnout.
Through world wars and wars on terror, Washington the. See. Has remained a national capital where the hundreds of millions of taxpayers who labor to pay for its grand edifices, free museums, and lavish lifestyles could briefly come to enjoy a little of the life lived by the ruling class in the Imperial City. Now the ruling class has made it clear that it doesn't want peasants entering the. See.
Even as Biden's team prepped the executive orders that would end the national emergency at the border and shut down construction of the wall, new walls topped by razor wire were rising across the imperial city. The new Fortress of Government sealed off two miles of the National Mall and parts of downtown the. See. And filled it with more soldiers than are deployed in Iraq.
The Secret Service designated green and red zones. Some 25,000 National Guard members were dispatched from Vermont, Maine, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Arkansas, Missouri, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Colorado to prepare for a fake invasion that never came. But the armored vehicles and heavy weaponry did come. President Trump had wanted a military parade that would show America's strength to the world. Biden held his own military parade to intimidate his fellow Americans.
Democrats had deployed more soldiers in the. See. Than they had in Iraq and Afghanistan while authorizing them to use lethal force and investigating their politics before the deployment. The radical leftists who had resisted using the military to fight terrorism or secure the border from invasion were eager to deploy the military against the people of the United States of America. . . ".

And T. Shit look so pitifully & desperate when he tried lying about his crowd size when compared to Obama.
Trump was always afraid of being objectively "Measured Up" to Barack Obama.
Melania knows what I mean.

Posts: 291All in the name of equality, obviously
An opinion piece by Douglas Murray, published today in the Daily Mail (link below).
In what way is this policy a good idea? Is this not open to abuse? Would you Liberals be happy to let your daughter or your granddaughter or your girlfriend share a restroom / changing room with a male?
"During his first hours in office, Biden signed an executive order calling on all federal agencies to ensure that people who identify as the opposite sex should be free to use whatever changing room or 'restroom' they wish to. And that school sports must sign up to 'combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity'.
There is something of the late Roman empire about this, the arrogance of a ruling elite in terminal decline. The world's most powerful man gets into office at a time of unprecedented crisis and one of his first priorities is to ensure that men who identify as women should be allowed to use female changing rooms and pulverise any woman he comes across in competitive sports. All in the name of equality, obviously. ".

Really? Something so obvious never once occurred to you in the weeks since the insurrection until I mentioned it here?

The reality, however, is that while impeachment is a legal hearing, it is not necessarily a criminal trial. The standard of proof is much lower than, say, a murder trial, despite multiple numerous defense teams' attempts to try a case otherwise.
As such, if a reasonable case can be made that, even if Trump did not directly instruct the crowd to cause violence, his actions leading up to the 6th of January (knowingly promoting unwarranted claims, coercing election "officials to find votes," the inflammatory speeches and tweets, etc) it would be reasonable for the Senate to find him responsible for "incitement of insurrection" even without direct verbiage to promote violence. In this case, it is a case of personal conduct, one that betrays "public trust. " Even if his words cannot be proven to be direct incitement, his cumulative actions from the election to the riots are being evaluated in their totality, not just the speech on the 6th of January.
(I am no constitutional legal expert but I can read Wikipedia and the sources that it references.)

The Federal government has no say in how states conduct there elections. Trump already did an audit in 2017 and found nothing. Many states just told him to go jump. Biden could not institute an audit without cooperation from the states. Georgia did several recounts and an audit and it did not change the result. The bottom line is Trumps behavior antagonizes more people than it wins.

Donald Trump riled up the crowd with his first words at around 12:15 until his final words to the Eclipses' crowd around an hour later at 1:15 PM. Before TrumpShit finished his speaking, crowd members began heading to the Capital. The first of five barricades at the Capital was breeched at 12:53 PM and by 2 PM essentially all the different barricade boundaries had been crossed by groups of rioters.
He was delighted with the rioting he was seeing on TV and he seemed confused (like not understanding) that the people around him were not as gleeful about what was unfolding as he was.
He expressed his pleasure and enjoyment with the insurrection.
Numerous WH people were encouraging TrumpShit to call in the National Guard, but for around two hours of repeated encouragement from the folks there, TrumpShit made no call to the National Guard.
Mike Pence, securely guarded with other Pence family members in the Capital grounds was the one to eventually call for the National Guard.
The National Guard mobilized after a brief delay, the delay used to confirm they would act this time on Pence's request alone.
If you remember, around a half dozen people who work in the Trump administration, and who were witness to all this fucked-up crap from the President, resigned in less than 24 hours.
What is the literary comparison?
Maybe Roman Emperor Nero fiddling as Rome burned?
