I disagree! It was the height of delusion to hitch his wagon to the Trump train in the first place.

Watch this space with Hunter and Daddy Joe at the end of his tenancy ! He's going to be signing FBI and DOJ pardons 24/7 in his last week of office if Trump (or any Rep candidate for P) is near to any sort of victory

It appears you are suggesting that Biden would pardon his son in the future (we will have to wait and see), whereas Trump has already pardoned the father of his son-in-law. So you are hoping that Biden will be as bad as Trump in this regard?

July 29, 2023

Does the fact that he would pardon him mean that he thinks Trump is guilty?! Tell me it's not so!

Everyone knows that you quote a 'news' source that has paid an out of court settlement to Majed Khalil, developer of Smartmatic software, paid 12M USD to a Fox Producer, 787M USD to Dominion voting machines and is subject to a lawsuit of 2.7B USD from Smartmatic. All for telling lies?

It is quite entertaining to consider that after years of in-depth scientific research that we still do not fully understand the entire workings of the human brain and cannot predict what it will do; yet we allow humans to programme the workings of A.I. What could possibly go wrong?

I think there is sufficient, obvious, and unworthy motivation to explain their actions without resorting to speculation.

Very true, but as the motives for crime can be broadly defined as -

C- Coercion

R - Revenge

I - Ideology

M - Money

E - Ego

It would seem there is a possibility of a 'full house'!

Why risk angering the candidate whose candidacy Putin supported?

Putin: I wanted Trump to win the election

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday he wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election because he believed Trump’s policies would be more friendly to the Kremlin.

“Yes, I did. Yes, I did..."

Totally agree, but note that I said, 'use what they found for leverage and control.'

It is hard to fully understand the continued unwavering support of some legislators for 45 without considering the possibility of outside influence on their desperate measures to cover for him.

It would be in Russia's interest to hack both the Dem and Rep servers and use whatever they found for leverage and control.

After winning 2020 election, Biden said it was 'time to put away the harsh rhetoric,' 'lower the temperature'

Candidate Joe Biden in 2020 sold himself to the fatigued American public as an empathetic, ice-cream-loving grandpa who was going to usher decency and expertise into the White House. But those carefully crafted narratives that helped propel him to the Oval Office are crumbling as the country barrels toward the 2024 election in a time of economic and global instability.

On the 2020 campaign trail, Biden and the media consistently billed him as the candidate to unify the country after four years under former President Donald Trump, who critics blasted as "divisive." After his election win, Biden declared in a speech that it is "time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again."

Biden took it one step further after he took office, threatening to fire anyone who didn’t share his views on decency and respect, telling nearly a thousand federal appointees and staff, "I'm not joking when I say this: If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot."

But Biden’s inconsistency between his actions and his words are coming more to the forefront ahead of what is expected to be an explosive 2024 presidential election.

They're obsessed with labels to denigrate people they don't like. Many of those epithets they don't even understand. It's a just a convenient buzz word. Like woke.

They call people names in order to dehumanise them and make them easier to hate and abuse. You can see the result of this in the extreme with the Nazi death camps where everyday people with families carried out some of the most inhumane acts on other humans. A result of many years of vile propaganda identifying jews, homosexuals, gypsies and others as untermensch that were not worthy of compassion or respect. Those guards were then later described as monsters in order that 'normal' people could distance themselves from the 'monstrous' actions of their fellow humans Even now the MAGA types first resort is to call a person or group by a name in order to make it easier for their followers to hate and abuse them.

Sadly, we never seem to learn.

Christopher Browning describes it well in his book -

Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as roundups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions. Very quickly three groups emerged within the battalion: a core of eager killers, a plurality who carried out their duties reliably but without initiative, and a small minority who evaded participation in the acts of killing without diminishing the murderous efficiency of the battalion whatsoever.

While the book discusses a specific reserve unit during World War II, the general argument Browning makes is that most people are susceptible to the pressure of a group setting and committing actions they would never do of their own volition.
