T is a piece of shit. He also has spent years getting an underground civil war in place. It could be wise to not challenge.

Is life a movie that always has a sad ending?

I agree ...Biden should have met tRump at front of WH and served him a restraining order for damages he caused to the Capital building on 1-6...saying no admittance and it should have been a blanket restraing order on the entire Washington DC public area and private . If he was anyone else this would have happened 1-8 at latest

What is he supposed to do? Lock him out and call from the window above “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry wine!” (Monty Python humor)

Neville Chamberlain tried this, and we all know what that got us.

I entertain fantasies that Biden is being polite to his face and furiously using the powers recently given to the President by the Supreme Court to commit any crimes he wants to sabotage Trump's entire Presidency. I know this is isn't happening. But I would like it to.

Trump and his howler monkey supporters are laughing at Joe Biden. They think this proves how fucking out to lunch the doddering old fool is. And, so do I.

Come on. Did you really think a rules and norms centrist like Biden wouldn't welcome that piece of shit back into the White House?

Trump deserves no grace whatsoever. He tried to stage a coup by using violence, fake electors and manipulation of the courts. Then he locked the doors of the White House and flew to FL to pout and refuse to eat while Republicans flew there to comfort him. No prison, no convictions for incitement of violent insurrection. Stealing classified documents, storing them in your bathroom, lying about them and then directing people to destroy evidence…no problem. He deserves no grace.

I think this is simply all Biden knows. He’s 82, he’s in the twilight of a career and life built on integrity and geniality. It’s who he is. We’d all like Trump to be treated like the maggot he is. Biden won’t stoop to that in his final moments in the spotlight.

Allegedly elected twice to the highest office in the world and he's still nothing but a low-life POS failure. A childish, petty douchebag.

Biden should concede Trump won 2020 as his final official act as POTUS, and have Trump sworn in by proxy, making Trump potus for a single day as his second term ends. Trump cannot serve a third term, and Harris is potus.

Yes, there are several plot holes in my plan, but I’m trying.

Nothing he does is ever good enough for any-fucking-one. People need to stop whining about every move he makes I swear to christ.

He cares about norms. He’s doing the right thing, by example.

I think this is the wrong place to claim "nothing" he ever does is good enough for "anyone." We spent the past four years hailing *everything he did* and trying to get the word out about it.

Joe Biden shouldn't *physically lock him out of the White House, like he did to Joe*, but he didn't need to pose smiling with him like everything's fine when he TOLD US this man will end democracy.

Yet he did. So fuck him and every other Dem politician who normalizes this shit.

I agree! I appreciate Biden is a good man and will meet a minimum of decency. But when I saw the two of them together in the Oval Office, I realized why yesterday bothered me: When things go viscerally bad in this country, history will have a record of an honorable president sitting down with a fascist president-elect. It's disquieting.

I think he is doing the wrong thing myself.

It is not whining. The dude is an actual fascist. Do not congratulate.

I dont' think it's petty to refuse to take a picture smiling next to him.

PAB is trolling the Senate Rethugs with the Gaetz pick. Even Susan Collins has voiced opposition. He may find himself in a world of hurt, as Schumer and Thune might discover themselves to be in agreement about some things.

MAGA 2.0, like most things Trump does, is about trolling everyone who dares not like him or share his vile views. It’s designed to be a “fuck you” to the world, because when you find yourself smothered in nearly limitless wealth and power, and you STILL can’t find inner peace, joy or love, all that’s left is to destroy.

I'm pretty sure he's planning to go the "acting" rout, not to save Republicans from having to put Trump over country repeatedly, but so that he can fire them at will.

He loves “acting” officials. No confirmations or pesky interference, and he can bully, control and fire them at will. Plus, who cares if anyone is hired or vetted properly, this is all for fun. It’s MAGA playtime and the name of the game is revenge and trolling people who dare challenge him.
