(2,018 posts)That was written by an aide. Theyre scared and doing damage control. They dont speak for The Beast. Assuming he isnt in a padded cell, hell be right back at it today.

Another day 1 move by president Biden should be to bring back the daily press conferences.

(2,626 posts)His followers have been shown to be dangerous because the are so are easily swayed to insurrection by him. He must be removed from office and censured. He must not be allowed to communicate with his minions. He is dangerous.
Congress must act and remove him from office immediately.
Congress knows this. They have at their disposal unlimited experts regarding the occupants mental health and his potential impact on national security. We are in danger as long as he is in office.
Congress must act to remove him from office now.
