This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I hold there is no comparison between Trump and Biden. by IAND75

As you suggest Biden would be pretty much what we are accustomed to for the past 70 years. More or less. Some may feel he is, would be, a “bad” president. But that is very relative. That type of “bad” presidency is very survivable and we would likely experience little difference in our day to day lives.

Trump is in an entirely different category. As a reminder, presidential scholars ranked him the worst in history. The next worst led us into the Civil War. That was based on his first term where there were senior members of the administration that thwarted his worst impulses. They would not be there in a second term.

You mention MTG as a possible Sec of State. Possible, yes. But as I posted in a thread below we could also be looking at a Chief of Staff, head of the NSA, and the Speaker of the House who all would like to literally establish a fundamentalist Christian theocracy.

I take Liz Cheney’s warnings seriously.
