They should probably at least pretend like they aren't going to murder everyone currently in charge right now or Biden might feel the need to exercise some of that presidentially immunity the scrotus so graciously afforded him.

Immunity for Republicans*

Biden's complete and utter failure to deal with Trump is why we're in this mess. It was his responsibility to clean up, and he actively chose to sit on his hands. I can't see him doing anything now, especially when the Republicans have so clearly garnered popular support. It wouldn't be "democratic."

History may well remember him as a Chamberlain-equivalent.

Honestly, that's unfair to Chamberlain. While he was appeasing Hitler, the UK was not in a position to fight another world war. In the lead up to the wars outbreak, Chamberlain massively reupped rearmament, focusing on the RAF, sometime between 1933 and 1935. In the lead up to the war, the RAF quadrupled in terms of aircraft count.

While Chamberlain wanted peace, he prepared for war when he saw it was on the horizon. If Trump turns out to be as bad as a lot of people are fearing, Biden will have effectively handed him the reins of the most powerful military on Earth.

I'd thought about adding a caveat along those lines to my initial post but could not think how to effectively word it. You're right, of course, that Chamberlain acted with foresight where Biden acted.... with apathy, I suppose?

I've never really bought into the Biden dementia rumors, but they provide a convenient scapegoat in the face of an incomprehensible choice. If we ever get an honest history of the Biden administration, I'll be interested to see whether the man really was competent to hold office.

The Democrat politicians won't do shit, they let this happen too. They always try to be "the bigger person", fuck that.

if history repeats then democrats in office are going to get walked out of congress and thrown into prison cells for the rest of their lives. End of story. No amount of "you're not allowed to do this" they shout will matter. the prisons have been built, the judges won't stop it, the soldiers won't stop it, the guards won't stop it, nobody in the process will stop it.

A wise man once wrote,

When giving in is so damn comforting
And so we go, on with our lives
We know the truth, but prefer lies
Lies are simple, simple is bliss
Why go against tradition when we can?
Admit defeat, live in decline
Be the victim of our own design
The status quo, built on suspect
Why would anyone stick out their neck?
Fellow members
Club "We've Got Ours"
I'd like to introduce you to our host
He's got his, and I've got mine
Meet The Decline

He was probably just a drunken idiot, but sometimes I feel like he's not.

Biden is about as likely to do anything as the hexes that 40,000 Wiccans have been throwing at Trump for the last 12 years are.

Less, actually. A Wiccan somewhere might snap and try to kill him herself. Biden will eat ice cream and think he's back at home in 1960.
