So Trump approves a state of emergency to allow police/army/national guard to confront protesters at Biden's inauguration and throughout state capitals, when all he really has to do is say that the election was fair and he lost. Surely no one would then have a reason to protest.

Maybe he's been right all along and there has been a Deep State plot to get rid of him and he knows it. 

[STEMO]

Thing is 75 million people don't believe that and there's a disruptive minority on the left that will take advantage of the fact.

Nowhere near 75 million, don't be ridiculous.

Dear me. Haven't you got a starter motor to fix?

Regardless of the crap that spews from from Donald Trump, it sets a dangerous precedent to gag a democratically elected sitting president.

Free speech will soon be a thing of the past.

I wouldn't even gag Nancy Pelosi.

You're right. I'd have stopped him posting by shooting him

If you're suggesting that the left are not deranged... They would rather have the Senate waste their time Impeaching Trump for a day, on principle, than spend the time approving Biden's cabinet which needs to be confirmed and in place on the 20th.

That's derangement for you.

Again I would point out that had last Wednesday been an actual coup, it would have a) been better organised, and b) been successful. You can't say that had it been a genuine attempt, 200,000+ people couldn't have stormed, and held the Capitol. If they genuinely wanted to. Which they didn't.

Hell, the hundred or so that actually got in could have taken the place had they been armed and organised.

This from President-elect Joe Biden will grip Lord Opti's shit!

And for Uncle Stemo and anyone else who doesn't have a Twitter account here's the text of his tweet.

"Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses, and finally having equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild." — President-elect Biden

Poor old Joe.

I genuinely don't know whether he is going senile of he has deliberately played the race card to further inflame the situation.

He could (and should) have said...... as democrats our priority is to help those most in need.......but the silly old fool had to mention race.

He wont help anyone. H is a waste of space.

He has chosen to adopt 'Identity politics' taken straight from the handbook on Intersectionality.

I'd think the main aim would be disqualification from any future federal office, rather than removal now.

I think thats what they are most terrified of. He sits back and watches for four years, then promises to finish draining the swamp, building the wall and restore they have lost overseas, and gets back in again.
Pelosi does seem to have a deeply held personal hatred of him though and just wants to damage, disgrace and humiliate him while she can, foe her own personal satisfaction.

Perhaps he could slip her a length, kiss and make up.

[Doctor Gollum]

She's got some go for an 80 year old, but she's clearly driven by hate...

Trump-Pelosi is a two-way hatred I think.

At 78, Joe Biden will already be the oldest sitting president on taking office - older than Reagan was when he left. In that context, 2024 has to be a main consideration for both sides.

I agree.......but he is no more than a figurehead.

Ms Harris will be the real president. Easily able to manipulate the poor old chap.

In a sign of how things and attitudes in the US might change under Biden/Harris and a Democrat controlled Congress, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Raphael Bostic has been talking today about a guaranteed Universal Basic Income.

He said " We need to continue the guaranteed universal basic income conversation "  " The guaranteed income is not a crazy conversation to have given the costs of poverty. "

I always thought this sort of talk was restricted to people like Corbyn, Sturgeon or the Scandinavians.    I never thought I'd hear such talk coming out of the USA!
