Biden has been THOROUGHLY vetted. And came out remarkably clean

The demons in the GOP announced that they wanted to impeach him WAY before they even had any idea what for. And then proceeded to investigate all of their fever dreams and came up with exactly ZERO.

Biden is, remarkably, especially for a national politician at his level, quite free of personal corruption.

That is a HUGE advantage which the Democratic Party should not throw away lightly. All of their accusations that they come up with (and come up with them they will) against ANY Democratic candidate will take time to adjudicate in the court of public opinion EXCEPT for those against Biden, because we already know he is quite clean.

I'm not sure what will make me hate Trump more . . .

when he talks about this attempt on his life, if he

1) suddenly acts like he doesn't think political violence is a good idea, after fanning the flames of violent rhetoric and aiming it at his political enemies and the most vulnerable people in our society - but now advocates against it because his dumb ass just realized that his moronic followers could hurt HIM

or

2) if he doubles down and calls for political violence in revenge for what happened.

what if . . and I know this is crazy but hear me out . . what if corporations are controlling more and more

of our lives (including more and more of the government) and making things better and better for corporations and worse and worse for people?

What should people do about this? Because as far as I can see, the levers of power are all being removed/placed in corporate hands.

Giving the President total immunity would destroy any power the Supreme Court has

as they would now be under a dictatorship. So why does the Orange Halfwit think they are going to do it?
