Biden will have smart, competent people around him who will know how or figure out how to put out these fires. The current bunch of misfits never had a clue to begin with.

Joe Biden will hire TRULY the Best People who will know how to address this mess.

Although, winning the two Georgia Senate seats is key - Moscow Mitch will do everything in his power to stop Biden from fixing things. What a disgustingly evil man.

They'll be far away from the immediate and short term consequences.

I hope they'll be held accountable at some point. The sooner the better.

If these are the seditionists they support, then they're as guilty of sedition as the people they elected and supported.

And you know something? Joe and his team are expert bureaucratic firefighters. Joe's been at this for 50 years. Sure, trump is a vile, treasonous bastard, but he's not really all that unique. To do what he's done and what he's doing requires bureaucratic acrobatics. And Joe knows how to deal with this stuff. He and his team will prioritize and undo the damage in due course. And, with carefully crafted executive orders, due course will be sooner rather than later. It may take court cases, especially with some of the turmoil he's causing now with court appointees, oil & gas leases and other environment raping matters, etc., but even with trump's appointees we've seen a number of republican-appointed judges recently behave somewhat reasonably.

At least that's my two cents for now.

To trump America is a toy that he is now forced to share.
He would rather break it than let someone else have it.

He can irritate all the leaders he wants, but most don't want bad relations with the us, and only the most bitter opponents want ongoing conflicts they can't win.

But he is trying to burn the world down around us. And that should be war crime he can't be pardoned for.

Sound familiar?

Americans sabotaging the U.S. government--preemptively or otherwise--is sedition/treason. There must be consequences.
