President Biden on the Trump Trial - Biden Era

The one thing about having a stable President in the shape of President Biden, is that he does not change his mind every five minutes, thus the White House webpage is up to date!

The White House: Statement by President Biden on the not guilty verdict by the US Senate in the Trial of Donald Trump, here are the highlights of his statement, " Today, 57 Senators – including a record 7 Republicans – voted to find former President Trump guilty for inciting that deadly insurrection on our very democracy. The Senate vote followed the bipartisan vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives. While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute. Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and “practically and morally responsible for provoking” the violence unleashed on the Capitol.....And I’m thinking of those who demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy – Democrats and Republicans, election officials and judges, elected representatives and poll workers – before and after the election.....This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant. That violence and extremism has no place in America. And that each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.  "

Lets Get Real:

The question is the Biden statement two faced, will the Biden Oval also condemn any violence by the left, in the shape of Black Lives Matter protest or other progressive groups who take to the streets.   Will the Democrats be careful with their WORDS, will they also stop using fighting in any statement about the political division between Republicans and Democrats.  If Biden is lucky then Trump will lead the Opposition, good for the Mid terms, the bad news for Biden is that Trump will be coming after him and the Democrats in 2022 and 2024, is there any chance that Trump will learn from his political mistakes, or does his ego not allow for that point of view.  If Trump is caught up in legal problems, he could be the King behind the throne who helps the Republicans chose their nominee, there is the Trump base and those that voted for Trump in 2020, can Biden be sure that the liberal groups who supported him in 2020, will come out again, Democrats on the left will demand that Biden be more left wing, that could mean that Biden loses the middle, The Trump Trial is just the start, politics is never ending, that is the fun of democratic politics and the way the US system works in the US, the Mid terms are next year and then we have the candidates getting ready for 2024, will Biden run again, he is will be VERY OLD, and lets be honest, most people think he has gone gaga or is going that way, have you noticed the VP is always in the room with him, is she thinking, I must support him, or when will  retire and allow me take over, politics is brutal, that is the way the founding fathers wanted it, they wanted to avoid a King in the Oval or over the Sea. 

What happens after Trump is found NO GUILITY by the US Senate - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

This blog got one thing right and one thing wrong about the Trial of former President Trump, it got the verdict right, there was never going to be 17 Republican Senators going to convict the Trumpster, the ones that did are on the way out anyway, have just started their term, and hope in the years pass it will not matter, and those like Mitt Romney, a constant critic.  Romney must understand that after his defeat in 2012 to President Obama, he will not get the nomination again, and this vote against Trump will lead to a major no from the Trump base.  The idea stated by the Minority Leader that Trump could face civil or federal trial, is interesting, CNN and the liberal press would love it, the public might see it as a major Witch Hunt, and President Biden will not his his predecessor placed in jail, once you start that, God knows how it might developed. A Republican Prosecutor might go after the son of the President, Hunter Biden, once you start that kind of process everyone gets hurt.    The blog was wrong, it thought that the Trump would turn up to take names of those that would vote against him, it can be speculated that the Republican leadership warned him that it could cost him votes.  Thus the future, it can be postulated that Trump will try to get the Republican nomination in 2024, he has a secure base to try, if someone is to challenge Trump, then they need the charisma and the money, thus blog is less impressed with those considering running. Four years is a long time in politics, either in the UK and the US.  Time will tell.
