Newsweek editorial floats the idea of Biden pardoning Trump and then announcing that he will not

[EndlessWire]

54. I didn't know that Newsweek was so RW

How terribly disappointing.

I think that this op-ed is nothing more than fodder to rile people up. Why in the world would Biden pardon Trump then clear the way for him to run again? What gain would that be for the Dems? Newsweek is advocating for Trump, that's all this is.

And, the main reason I am commenting, is the remark that the writer said about most of the people or Dems don't want Biden to run again. The idea is floated here to put pressure on the Dem voters to not select an obviously highly qualified, successful incumbent President.

Whether Biden runs again is up to him. If he is physically capable, which is age-related but not a given, because people are individual in their capabilities, he should not be thrown away just because some jerk on Newsweek is age biased or Party biased. We seem to have a habit of throwing away the most capable politicians with wisdom, experience and skill in order to make way for someone who has shiny teeth and a full head of hair, but no real brains.

The only real concern I have is whether long Covid could rear its ugly head. But, so far we don't see that.

The other thing that this op-ed brings up is the opinion that violence should be avoided by having Biden resign so, apparently, Trump can take over. People who plan to riot in the streets because the Orange Turd got caught with classified docs in his basement are going to be unpleasantly surprised when the Army shows up and unceremoniously dumps them on their asses. Yes, we have posse comitatus, but no, it is not 100% off the table. There is also the private citizen aspect of support for the Government. Those dumbass militias apparently assume that none of the opposition has weapons of their own.

This op-ed is just silly. It really does inspire you to see if it's from The Onion. Why Newsweek would allow such transparent folderol grace their pages in such a prominent position is puzzling. Could they not have allowed such an opposition opinion, in the interest of fairness, in some other spot?

Donald's going down, period. Biden is not going to resign in order to avoid armed conflict with death-seeking cult followers. He may have a General or two on speed dial, but that's it.
