The discussion on whether trump should be prosecuted should wait until 1-21-21

Keep in mind, trump is an extremely dangerous crazy person who still has the nuclear codes.

Basically, Biden is acting as a hostage/crisis negotiator. Over the past 3 weeks, trump has fired pentagon officials, asked about bombing Iran, exited the Open Skies Treaty and trashed some very expensive observation planes, all while still insisting that he "won" the election.

Biden understands that now is NOT the right time to make certain statements on what he will or won't do with regard to prosecutions, considering the perilous predicament the entire country is in right now.

Just my opinion, of course.

Clarification: I'm referring to public statements from Biden. We can discuss it as much as we want (obviously).

Elon Musk Contacted a Harvard Doctor. The Response Is a Master Class in Emotional Intelligence

Elon Musk was frustrated. He had been experiencing mild sniffles, a cough, and a slight fever--enough symptoms to convince him to get tested for Covid-19. Musk, who obviously has more resources and greater access to medical treatment than the average person, ended up taking a total of four tests (according to the story he shared on Twitter).

"Something extremely bogus is going on," Musk tweeted. "Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD."

The internet was quick to respond. Some reached out to Musk to see how he was feeling. Writer Stephen King simply replied, "You're pos." A scientist openly mocked Musk, calling him "Space Karen" and accusing the tech CEO of not reading up on the test "before complaining to his millions of followers."

But then something very interesting happened. Musk decided to reach out directly to an expert in the field of communicable disease (on Twitter, of course). What followed was a master class in communication, persuasion, and emotional intelligence.

Bernie is now openly campaigning for Sec of Labor on Chris Cuomo's show

He claims that the GOP Governor promised to appoint a Democrat in his place. Ummm... Is Bernie serious? Republicans have zero shame. He must have missed the Supreme Court flip-flopping.

Peeked at Fox News - they said trump should campaign for Loeffler and Perdue in Georgia

so he can leave office on a high note.

I guess they want him to hold back to back super spreader rallies across the state of Georgia for the next 8 weeks.

I think trump's more likely to turn on republicans and take his trumpers with him.

I guess we're about to find out.

did trump really get over 69 million votes?

At the risk of sounding like a sore winner, I just don't think it's possible that 69 million Americans voted for an obviously incompetent buffoon who STILL has no plan for how to get us through the COVID-19 crisis, 10 months in.

The security issues associated with the voting machines used in many swing/toss up states are well documented in numerous lawsuits, so it's not wrong to ask.

By the way, did y'all notice how great Biden looked today?

It's always refreshing to see a real leader speak during times of crisis... but I couldn't help but notice that Biden looked at least 10 years younger! January 20, 2021 can't come soon enough!

He already knows he's lost. He's known since Tuesday night, hence the lawsuits in PA, MI, GA

and the batshit crazy tweets.

Why is the media going along with this charade? Stop coddling him, FFS! It's only going to make his rage worse, putting all of us in danger.

If trumputin's cheating only helps GOP senators but not him, do

you think he'll rat them out?

Now that's a frightening thought

I'm convinced they're knee deep in state police departments, but now that I think about it, it's obvious that they coordinate nationally somehow. That's why we always see the same exact response when one of their officers comes under fire for a racist murder.

The recipe is something like this: Turn peaceful protests violent by injecting provocateurs into the masses, trigger looting, and if that doesn't work, sacrifice one of their fellow officers--someone inconvenient, perhaps a whistleblower and/or one of the elusive "good cops." Rinse. Repeat. Nobody will notice the discrepancies because people will believe literally anything as long as you say black people were involved.

This strategy accomplishes multiple goals, including the burning down of black businesses and communities (an all time favorite activity of the KKK). More importantly, the focus on cops and police reform magically goes away. Poof!

Just my opinion.
