Joe Biden Being Stupid, A Disgrace (none / 0)

Presidents with courage do not lower themselves to the level of Donal Trump ... it is NOT about the former president ...

President Biden: "Even before the first ballot was cast, the former president was preemptively sowing doubt about the election results ... He's not just a former president. He's a defeated former president." pic.twitter.com/gkSICsL9T6

It is not about the U.S. Congress and its gross partisan failures over recent decades ... January 6th is about the bravery of the men and woman of the Capitol police and Washington DC police left to defend, w/o support of the National Guard, and saved democracy as we know it.

One year ago today, brave members of law enforcement answered the call for service to our city and our country.

Thank you for your courage and fortitude, and for the risks that you take every day to protect those who depend on us to keep them safe. pic.twitter.com/cUuPan2bCk

Not to diminish the achievement of the security troop at Capitol that day, but a bicameral system elected by a plurality vote is not the democracy I know.

I've always lived under an unicameral parliament elected by proportional system where constitutionality of laws is checked before they even go to vote. It just works. And it feels like democracy.

REPORTER: "Why didn't you mention President Trump by name?"

BIDEN: "I did not want to turn it into a contemporary political battle between me and the president. It's way beyond that."pic.twitter.com/cE5HNQKrm2

Dick Cheney returns to the House and receives a warm welcome . . . from Democrats, 6 Jan 2022

Ahead of the chamber's noon session, Rep. Adam B. Schiff huddled at length with the two Cheneys -- Liz is one of two Republicans who serve alongside the California Democrat on the committee investigating Jan. 6. Schiff, who knows what it's like to be detested by the other party, told the former vice president and onetime Wyoming congressman, "It's good to see you again."
