    Biden is being a gentleman doing what is expected of him and accepting that the public elected a sack of shit who didn’t even show up for Biden’s inauguration and tried to seize the government. The point is, the public did elect the sack of shit this time, and Biden respects that. He’s doing his job, no matter how hard he’s gonna have to wash that hand.

      His job is to protect the country and constitution. He’s derelict of his duty.

      Even if the SC hadn’t given him a blank check to do whatever he wanted, his patriotic duty is to eliminate threats, of which Trump and friends are.

        It’s his job to get the fuck out of the office because that’s what the people voted for.

        I made fun of right-wing dipshits for 4 years for saying the same shit you are right now in the opposite direction.

        It’s so uncanny it’s almost like it’s on purpose to make libs or progressives look as dumb as republicans.

          It’s because being “gentlemanly” by sitting back and letting this happen is the absolute pinnacle of falling victim to the paradox of intolerance. Trump has zero tolerance for democracy. Letting this traitor back into office to dismantle any hope of free and fair elections in the future is fucking stupid, and the more decorum shown to this fascist moron, the more his future actions are legitimized to the public.

          It’s true that refusing to hand over the office in any way is undemocratic in its own right. I can’t pretend to know what the exact right answer is: the dumbass, impressionable electorate put us here by voting how it did. But smiling and shaking hands while this fuck prepares to dismantle our freedoms is so, so dumb.
