      Of course this is the take. So now they’re going to soften their rhetoric and just inaugurate him next week.

      You can even straddle the whole civility thing while using the situation. “Of course someone use violence. Trump promotes violence. Look at Jan 6. Look at Project 2025. If you promote violence as a tool of course people are going to use it.” But no, they’re going to just say he’s a nice guy who’s a simple participant in our grand experiment and we need to be nice to him.

        How mind blowing would it have been if Biden got on TV and said “This is what happens when you advocate for violence”

              “Tonight I feel good. We need to do it.

              “I don’t know, Joe. Remember how mad you can get.”

              “How mad I can get?”

              “When… When - you know…”

              “When what! Out with it, woman!”

              “When you lose.”

              “I ain’t gonna lose. This is an official act! Get the Scrabble board. I’m gonna win this time!”

              She sighs and after she leaves the room she quietly says to herself “He hasn’t won a game since 2014. And he gets so mad when he loses too.”

          you have been banned from r/politics and c/politics for suggesting he may have had it coming

          Plus that’s way to direct and powerful of a statement from Biden.

        Obama feels nothing. He comprehends not hatred or any other feeling. He is a living portal to the heat-dead universe at the end of time, where hope and change are no longer possible. It is inadvisable to stare long into Obama

      Remember when he got covid? Fucking Rachel Maddow and every lib that spent the entire time saying he was a Russian Manchurian candidate and the death of democracy were offering him “thoughts and prayers”
