That said how can one hope that Biden will ever be held to a fair standard? IMO, the media has done nothing but fawn over him, so far. I would love for you to prove me wrong.
Biden and Trump have been held to the same standard....the difference is Biden fairs way better at least attempting to reach that standard than Donald Trump could have ever hoped to do. And what is the tough question that you think Trump was asked so unfairly that Biden has not been asked? And why doesn't that beacon of truth Fox News ask that question for you....perhaps you should get Sean Hannity on the phone and tell him to do his job....

Just not to put on a clown show like we just saw with Democrats wasting everyone's time, when pretty much they and everyone else already knew what the outcome was going to be. Meanwhile the rest of the world, our enemies - and even some of our allies - are laughing at us. IMO it was nothing more than showcase of the left's never ending hatred for Trump that they just can't seem to put away. I realize a lot of it is Trump's fault, but not all and the blind hatred has fueled just as much of the division that exists on both sides. Perhaps those who hate America enjoy watching this division become greater...I don't.
Why is it a clown show just because the outcome was predictable? It does not mean the trial should not have happened. More than half the senate voted to convict him, only Republicans voted to acquit him and not all of them at that. Trump was impeached while he was still in office therefore a trial needed to happen. There has to be a line drawn and consequences (in this case facing a trial in the senate) so future presidents know that the last 8 weeks of their term if they are not getting another term, are not a free for all and a free pass for bad actions. There has to be a line that is drawn and that line WAS drawn, no matter what the outcome was.
Where was the need for healing back in October when a Supreme Court Justice was being rammed through the system for the Republicans less than a month before the 2020 election when 4 years earlier a nomination by the Democrats was left stranded and to die on the vine by Mitch McConnell after 10 months with the excuse that the American people should decide the nomination with the presidential election? ***THAT*** is the type of action that stokes the fire of division...

Incredible how it took trump's criminal mismanagement of a virus resulting in countless Americans dying needlessly for enough of the voters to wake up to the fact that the individual they voted for the last time is as fit for the presidency as a kiddie fiddler is fit to run a kindergarten.
I could not agree more....COVID drew back the curtain on Trump and exposed him as unable to meet the moment when he needed to be able to unite groups and coordinate efforts instead of divide people and have tweet tantrums, to have success. The Trump Covid response shows what a horrible President The Self Proclaimed Stable Genius actually was...up to and including his behavior being directly responsible for The White House becoming a flag ship and a hot spot for corona 19 infections...it is now coming out that he was basically hours away from being put on a ventilator himself...

8 hours ago, webfact said:Trump lawyer Giuliani faces $1.3 billion lawsuit over 'big lie' election fraud claims
By Jan Wolfe and Susan Heavey
FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani gestures as he speaks as Trump supporters gather by the White House ahead of his speech to contest the certification by the U.S. Congress of the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Washington, U.S, January 6, 2021. REUTERS/Jim Bourg/File Photo
(Reuters) - A U.S. voting machine company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against former President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, accusing him of defamation in what it called his "big lie" campaign about widespread fraud in the presidential election, court documents on Monday showed.
The Denver-based company, Dominion Voting Systems Inc, filed an earlier lawsuit against pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, whom the company also accused of spreading false conspiracy theories about the election that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
A senior Dominion employee, Eric Coomer, also filed a defamation lawsuit against the Trump campaign, saying he had been driven into hiding because of death threats from Trump supporters.
Giuliani said in a statement that Dominion's lawsuit was intended to intimidate others from exercising their free speech rights.
A U.S. voting machine company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against former President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, accusing him of defamation in what it called his "big lie" campaign about widespread fraud in the presidential election, court documents on Monday showed. Lisa Bernhard produced this report.
"Dominion’s defamation lawsuit for $1.3B will allow me to investigate their history, finances, and practices fully and completely," Giuliani said, adding that he may file a countersuit against the company for violating his rights.
Trump and his allies spent two months denying his election defeat, and claiming without evidence that it was the result of widespread voter fraud, before his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages from the former New York City mayor, alleging in the lawsuit that "he and his allies manufactured and disseminated the 'Big Lie,' which foreseeably went viral and deceived millions of people into believing that Dominion had stolen their votes and fixed the election."
Dominion said it filed the lawsuit "to set the record straight" and to "stand up for itself, its employees, and the electoral process."
A group of prominent attorneys last week asked New York’s judiciary to suspend Giuliani's law license because he made false claims in post-election lawsuits and for urging Trump’s supporters to engage in “trial by combat” shortly before they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Dominion states in its lawsuit that it has spent $565,000 on private security to protect its employees, who are facing harassment and death threats.
“Giuliani’s statements,” the lawsuit stated, “were calculated to — and did in fact — provoke outrage and cause Dominion enormous harm.”
Founded in 2002, Dominion is a major U.S. manufacturer of voting machines, and various Dominion machines were used in more than two dozen states during the 2020 election.

Engage huh...you mean like ask them nicely, with a tone of compassion and sympathy, "Why did you march down to and ransack The Capital while the election that Dear President lost was being certified? Why did you wave the Confederate Flag inside the People's House, weilding zip tie restraints, steal politicians notebooks, erect a gallows, chant "Hang Mike Pence" (you know, the VPOTUS at the time....yeah that guy)", attack police officers that you spent a whole summer claiming you support?
Oh and by the way, since we are being "engaging" and we certainly don't want to hurt your tender feelings or offend your delicate sensibilities anymore...the guy you worship so much who called that mob to assemble, incited them with a call to insurrection, gave them their marching orders and then sent them off to stop the certification of an election that HE LOST and have "Trial By Combat"? Well hell, that's all Ok....since he only had two weeks left in office....lets just let him go and let bygones be bygones....because even though he divided the country every chance he got for five years and all of you ate it up that division with a spoon everyday...now that you are on the losing side and the balance of power has shifted....NOW you think it is time for "healing".
No...THE RIGHT THING TO DO...now is for reckoning, justice, consequences and atonement...and when that is done....either by Trump being convicted by the Senate or by Trump walking away...this is going down...so future Presidents at least think twice before they decide that insurrection and sedition are the way to keep and wield power in the United States.

Yes that's right. The vaccine distribution plan was called Operation Warpspeed, it was even praised by Biden.
"President-elect Joe Biden finally offered some words of praise for President Trump’s record-breaking Operation Warp Speed. Better late than never, we guess.
After getting his own jab Monday, Biden acknowledged the Trump administration’s hard work on vaccine development, specifically crediting Operation Warp Speed with “getting this off the ground.”
https://nypost.com/2020/12/22/biden-finally-praises-operation-warp-speed/
I was wondering if the poster could explain what happened to 20 million Americans vaccinated by NYE? and by the way...Shocking.....even the New York Post was acknowledging before Christmas that Biden was "Prez To Be" and that Dear EX President had lost the election...such treacherous rhetoric and I for one am shocked this poster would subject us with left wing propaganda during these "tender times".

Trump administration had no coronavirus vaccine distribution plan - White House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - There was no distribution plan for the coronavirus vaccine set up by the Trump administration as the virus raged in its last months in office, new President Joe Biden's chief of staff, Ron Klain, said on Sunday.
"The process to distribute the vaccine, particularly outside of nursing homes and hospitals out into the community as a whole, did not really exist when we came into the White House," Klain said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Biden, a Democrat who took over from Republican President Donald Trump on Wednesday, has promised a fierce fight against the pandemic that killed 400,000 people in the United States under Trump’s watch.
He signed a series of executive orders last week, including some that target vaccine distribution.
Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator under President Donald Trump, told CBS's Face the Nation that Trump was given 'parallel data streams' from another source on the COVID-19 pandemic and that Trump presented graphs she never made. This report produced by Yahaira Jacquez.
Biden plans to partner with state and local governments to establish vaccination spots in conference centers, stadiums and gymnasiums. The new administration will also deploy thousands of clinical staff from federal agencies, military medical personnel and pharmacy chains to increase vaccinations, and make teachers and grocery clerks eligible.
Vaccination programs lagged far behind the Trump administration's target of 20 million Americans inoculated by the end of 2020.
"We've seen this factor all over the country where millions of doses have been distributed, but only about half have been given out," Klain said.
"So the process of getting that vaccine into arms - that's the hard process. That's where we're behind as a country.
That's where we're focused in the Biden administration - on getting that ramped up."

If the two of you were called in front of the Supreme Court to argue your respective sides, who do you figure would win? I know where my money would be.
The same Alan Dershowitz who came up with this brilliant argument during Trump's FIRST Impeachment:
"Every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest," he said. "And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment."
The author of that hot mess does not exactly have the credibility you seem to assign to him...in my opinion.

the rules for impeachment are in place and have been for a long time....he has been impeached, he needs to go to trial. If anything he will be made an example of for President's of the future that try to take the course of action Trump decided to take.
And as far as the people not being "allowed" to vote for him again, Trump did this to his supporters, not congress. Trump is the one that is responsible for his actions and if he was any type of politician he would have known what would happen to him if he decided to invite his supporters to a pregame pep talk to fire them up and then direct them to go to the Capital.....to basically attack the government...and how hypocritical would it be for Donald Trump...the King of Political Theatre...of all people...to not be subjected to the bright lights of a conviction and banning of public office.
And by the way, if Trump does get convicted and the vote does go for him being barred from running for office again, what is so terrible about him going to the Supreme Court....it isnt like he hasnt been there before for less (and lost....the same way he would lose this time too)
Basically his only defense is what happened....happened so close to him being out of office....and that's weak because that is the very reason he basically sent a lynch mob to go kill some politicians and stop and election from being certified...because he was running out of time.

"Real Americans" know the law and the fact that Trump was already impeached while he was still in office (for a second time by the way.....a record....so much for making American great again) and now they are going to trial in the Senate to decide if he should be convicted...I love how some people think they speak for "Real Americans"...

As he leaves office, Trump pardons former top strategist Bannon
By Steve Holland

REUTERS/Andrew Kelly
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has granted clemency to former White House aide Steve Bannon as part of a wave of pardons and commutations he will issue during his final hours in office, a senior administration official said.
Trump was not expected to pardon himself, members of his family or lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who was at the forefront of unsuccessful efforts to get the results of the 2020 presidential election overturned, according to sources.
Trump leaves office on Wednesday, when Joe Biden is sworn in as the nation's next president.
Trump also pardoned rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black who were prosecuted on federal weapons offenses, as well as former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who was serving a 28-year prison term on corruption charges, a senior administration official said.
Bannon, who was a key adviser in Trump's 2016 presidential run, was charged last year with swindling Trump supporters over an effort to raise private funds to build the president's wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. He has pleaded not guilty.
White House officials had advised Trump against pardoning Bannon. The two men have lately rekindled their relationship as Trump sought support for his unproven claims of voter fraud, an official familiar with the situation said.
Bannon, 67, is the latest prominent political ally to receive clemency from Trump, who has often used the powers of the executive branch to reward loyalists and punish his enemies.
Trump previously pardoned former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI about his conversation with the former Russian ambassador, and he commuted the prison term for Roger Stone, who was convicted of lying to Congress during its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Bannon can still be charged in state court in New York, where a pardon would not help him, said Daniel R. Alonso, a former prosecutor now at the Buckley law firm. Fraud prosecutions are frequently brought by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, Alonso said.
Lil Wayne, 38, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., pleaded guilty in federal court in December to illegally possessing a firearm and faced up to 10 years in prison. He has expressed support for Trump's criminal justice reform efforts.
Kodak Black, 23, who was born Bill Kahan Kapri, is in federal prison for making a false statement in order to buy a firearm.

Tennessee man accused of being 'zip tie guy' pictured at Capitol riot arrested in Nashville
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A Tennessee man who had expressed pro-Trump views and was accused by online researchers of carrying plastic hand restraints in the U.S. Senate during the Capitol riot Wednesday, has been arrested.
The Nashville man, Eric Munchel, 30, was being held in a Nashville jail Sunday on a federal warrant, online records show. An FBI spokesperson, Samantha Shero, confirmed the arrest.
This one is obviously one that should receive a little more "justice" than the average "patriot" when sentences start being handed out. What do you think he was planning with those restraints he brought to the party?
