There is a positive side to Joe never having served. I can think of how many infantry soldiers lives were saved not having had Joe leading them into combat. Joe probably would have been the next leader of the lost platoon.

I think thanks to the instant communication age we live in, coupled with the hyper-partisan atmosphere he's had to govern in, and his constant asinine botton-pushing, fight-picking behavior brought MORE scrutiny and critique than any others. That's for certain. But that's on him.

But just because we're coming off of being Trumped to death for the past 4 years, does not give "not trump" politicians, including Biden, a pass.

Driving on a highway at 65+ MPH and getting used to the speed, does not give you a pass when you jump on another road and get pulled over for speeding.

Fair on the latter point, but how about we just have Trump concede, Biden sworn in, and you then tell us all his shortcomings, as well as applaud whatever he does that you like. Right now, some of us aren't done applauding his beating Trump. Like a drum.

On the most sleazy politicians, my algorithm has both sleazy level and impact in the equation.
None of those in that article comes close in my view.

Of the three Presidents, only Nixon was for sure actually sleazy himself and not on the Trump-scale. The rest are penny ante in comparison. But certainly sleazy.

Yeah. Trump had a real honeymoon transition.

No complaints from me. I don't think democracy's dying.
Biden's got no beef. He was part of the last "by the book" transition.

Probably not, I don't believe the force was ever with him. Face it with Joes chops the best he could ever hope for was a career in politics. Mission accomplished.

And yes, I shortly thereafter came to see the slime of the Nixon era as well as all sorts of other hypocrisy.

Analysis shows surge in Asian, Hispanic voters helped Biden capture Georgia



https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-b ... 5QUF4H2PA/


A surge in voter participation among younger, more diverse voters helped fuel President-elect Joe Biden’s slim victory in Georgia, according to an analysis by the Democratic firm TargetSmart, as the increase in the share of white turnout lagged behind.

The analysis found Asian-American turnout nearly doubled when compared to the 2016 election, while Hispanic voter participation soared by 72%. Turnout among black voters increased by about 20% while white turnout grew by 16%.




Hopefully, these patriots will have an equally significant impact on the senate runoff vote.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.

I was a HS freshman in 1973 and for as long as I can remember Nixon was one disliked person in our family. It started with Nixon having the audacity to run for president against JFK. My mom being the Irish Catholic woman that she was never forgave him for that. I am happy MD that you recognized the errors of your way. ;) I still have to take a jab at you every now and then over that. :D

Trump deserved everything he got and more. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law so that - if for nothing else - he can't run in 2024 from behind bars. With luck that'll give the Tom Cotton's and Mike Pompeo's of the world some pause when they consider using Trump's crooked, corrupt playbook in the future.

I think it is possible that once Joe gets the bill that sticker shock may force him back to the real world. There is the possibility Greta will paddle her row boat to the front lawn of the WH and have a teenage hissie fit. It could involve teardrops.
