The president has taken shots at Trump over a number of issues in recent months, but he has stayed largely silent on the four separate indictments against his predecessor.

    This really goes to show the precariousness of the system…the Justice Department theoretically controlled by the President is investigating someone running against him. One more reason Biden is showing himself as up for the job, this takes some tact.

    But I don’t know what the alternative system is. If the Justice Dept is fully independent (like, another branch of government) then it prevents the conflict of interest to some extent but you can still get Supreme Court style ideological takeover that could be biased or accused of bias. In some states the AG is a stepping stone to higher office, certainly the AG could run for President and there would still be a conflict.

    Honestly I respect and support this approach. Can we all get on board with silently watching Trump hang him self by his own retard?

    Imagine how awful it would feel if even the negative attention started going away and he was trapped all alone with his treasonous rat club that are already starting to eat each other to stay alive.

    Bit of a run on sentence at the end there but I made it to the finish line only needing one ‘and’ 😅

    Member that time when Al Gore said yeah we don’t want Bill Clinton to campaign for us?

    Man if I was trying to pop enough republiQan heads in whatever states, I’d be harping on Don the Con non-stop. 100 different ads about what a lying, low-life loser he is.

    Member when they went low and we went high? Red America is so far down the sewer, pretending they’re not is just a flat-out mistake. My 2¢.

      Why? The MEGA lot are not a bunch of people who are known for thinking skills. Trump is their Messiah, they’re not going to listen to anything Biden has to say.

      The people who think that Trump is an idiot already think he’s an idiot and continuously pointing this out won’t change anything.

    guessing we’ll see about that in a few months when the commercials really start to ramp up

    Well yeah, of course not. Neither he nor any of his staff will mention it. It would be improper and likely illegal.

    Focusing in on the Trump campaign would just detract from their main audience, so they might as well leave it be. Everybody knows what’s going on with him anyways
