Its important to remember that Biden did this as a former Senator and former Vice President. This means Biden's retention of classified documents was not covered under the Presidential Records Act, nor did he have the ability to declassifiy anything. President Trump had both. Trump deserves his retribution against these people.....they came at him first. “Before You Embark On A Journey Of Revenge, Dig Two Graves” — Confucius I fear you are right but wasting energy on punishing your opponents doesn't help the man in the street. We have seen the democrats do this for the last 4 years all it does is widen the political divide. I want politicians to sort out the problems that impact the public not point scoring. Consensus building is just not on the agenda by either party.

You are correct that the whole situation is ridiculous but it's a situation the Democrats have manufactured themselves. Once in power they decided to go after him....So you can hardly blame Trump for equalizing the insult. Trump will sort out several messes the Democrats are responsible for....However, the hole America find themselves in is a pretty deep one...Long term it'll be very difficult.

Consensus building is just not on the agenda by either party. I am very surprised and disappointed by this comment. Whilst it’s clearly Trump’s tactic to present himself as a victim with his constant cries of “witch hunt”, tactics that apparently are being swallowed wholesale in the USA, we are better than that. I see nothing at all being done by the Democrats other than to stay well clear of due progress . The division is all because of Trump. He could easily have avoided each and every one of the indictments. All he had to do was avoid doing anything illegal. Even now due process allows him to submit his defence and if evidence exists that nothing illegal has been done then it can be presented and argued all the way to the Supreme Court. That he fears this is obvious because of his attempts to delay things until the indictments cannot be heard or he can pardon himself. The innocent have nothing to fear. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Democrats would welcome a return to consensus, where cooperation and collaboration are normal. Unless the Republicans find a way of distancing themselves from Trump that though is impossible. The idea that Trump will be justified in seeking revenge disgusts me? Revenge for what? For the forces of law and order ensuring that no one is above the law? Should that happen then the USA will be well down the slope to an authoritarian dictatorship. Confucius may well be right though. If Trump did try to extract revenge the graves needed would be for democracy and the cohesion of the free world. He would rightly be resisted at every turn. I hope it doesn’t come to that.

Can you literally go one day without posting about your beloved Trump? Starting to think it's more than an obsession perhaps bordering on the romantic creepy stalker type thing. When one man dominates the news in the USA let alone this section of the HOL it would be surprising not to mention him. As he is the biggest danger we face, he needs to be talked about.

But Trump had to be beaten back in 2020 at all costs, thereby prolonging the division in society.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

Order of events: 1. Trump wins. 2. Media meltdown. 3. Trump has Biden indicted on charges related to classified documents. 4. We hear constantly that those charges are invented and politically motivated. 5. Media meltdown. Trump could not have Biden indicted anymore than Biden can have Trump indicted now. What he could do is appoint a lackey as the AG and then pressurise them to take action. The result of which could easily be a mass resignation by the Justice Department followed by support in other Departments and for the wheels of government to stop turning. It would not be the media in meltdown. It would be the USA.

All we can do, together with all our fellow citizens, is show solidarity with those in the USA who also see the danger. As there are some here who don’t, making sure they know their views are not accepted by everyone is the least I can do. It’s not much and my contributions to various US based sites are more interesting.

When 'Democrats' talk about democracy, what they are really referring to is the left's institutional hold on power. It's the likely removal of unelected officials by a democratically elected president that they call a threat to democracy.

Russia would have walked into Ukraine. He could have suspended the constitution and Congress, declared himself as President for life with the right to name his successor. Ok, I am being extreme but anyone prepared to try to cling onto power as he did is capable of anything.
