[The Minsky Moment]

Dammit!  I have a contribution to make: and from an Auntie I really like. :

That's kind of exaggerated: Trump was as cowardly as Scar and he certainly brought his corrupt hyenas in DC, but as bad as COVID has been it hasn't  lain waste to the country.  As much as I hate to say it, you should probably respond to say Trump really wasn't  THAT bad.

Also, while I only watched some of the inauguration ceremonies, I'm pretty sure Biden didn't throw Trump off a cliff and watch as he was eaten by hyenas. But maybe that occurred earlier and I just missed it.

No Trump's fate was far worse than eaten by hyenas: exiled to Florida to the sounds of the Village People.

That would certainly increase the chances of him getting impeached, I reckon.

If he does do that, I expect he can probably pull over a number of GOP operatives and voters, but there is a lot of organizational infrastructure he'd have to build from close to scratch. Given the Trumpist penchant for grifting and incompetence, I don't expect it to work out that well.

In summary: oh no! Not the briar patch!

Less a folly and more like...Greenwald has come around on criticizing Trump:

It's because he's pissed Trump didn't pardon Assange and Snowden.

There was much unjustified hope on the left that somehow Trump would do something similar to Obama's surprise clemency for Chelsea Manning in 2017. Nope.

I do wish we would dump the Espionage Act. Snowden has said he would come back and face charges if we just got rid of that shit.

The Left is not calling for unity. The Centre is, again.

The only person calling for unity is Biden, because that's his job.

That's the point. He's using the threat in the hope the GOP Senators will fall in line for him.  "We'll see what happens . . ."
So predictable.

I don't know man. Are the same people canceling beans and pillows the same people calling for unity? Who exactly does this person consider a leftist? Every person in the world who doesn't like Donald Trump?

After 4 years, you still need to ask?

Maybe the socialists of the world are all calling for unity with the right. Who knew?

That's kinda like the other thread, where someone posted that Conservatives/Evangelical aren't entirely racists, because they willingly accept blacks/hispanics/others as long as they adhere to their ideal vision of society.The socialists of the world are all calling for unity with the right, but you'd be delusional in thinking it means they want to make compromises and reach them halfway.
And anyway, on some issues, I would personally find it unbearable. And I'm apparantly a commie-lover nowadays, so I guess, I'm the socialist who has to make compromises with the Trumpists.  And on 99% of the issues, that's just a big no.  Besides, I doubt they'd even want that unity if it meant sacrificing ideological purity.

-Remember when I said I wanted to be in your shoes?
- Yeah, why?
- Now I don't.

In the eyes of the Trumpy Biden and Marx are much the same.

it's about what I heard on radio this afternoon: "... a continuation of Obama's policy, with him the real shadow power, a communist America that is sure to please Lady Gaga".

Even I wouldn't label Obama and Biden as commie.
