    So we're arguing about price?

    We always argue about price, and that is as it should be. You are old enough to know that you are choosing between black and white, for there is no pure black and no pure white, just different shades of gray. You are not choosing between free and priceless, price comparison is inevitable.

    @axtremus let me rephrase that.

    "Less bad ≠ good."

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Whatever happened to "Unite us?"

      https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/08/biden-invites-pence-to-inauguration-says-its-good-trump-will-skip.html

      President-elect Joe Biden said Friday that it’s good President Donald Trump will skip the inauguration ceremony later this month after one of the most chaotic weeks in modern American politics.

      Trump, who helped stoke Wednesday’s violent riot on Capitol Hill, said on Twitter earlier Friday that he would not attend the event on Jan. 20.

      “I was told on the way over here that he indicated he wasn’t going to show up at the inauguration: One of the few things he and I have ever agreed on,” Biden said of Trump. “It’s a good thing, him not showing up.”

      “He’s exceeded even my worst notions about him,” the president-elect said. “He is one of the most incompetent presidents in the history of the United States of America.”

      Biden, who spoke from Wilmington, Delaware, added that he would welcome Vice President Mike Pence at the inauguration.

      “I think it’s important that as much as we can stick to what have been the historic precedents and circumstances of how an administration changes should be maintained” Biden said. “So if Mike—the vice president is welcome to come. I’d be honored to have him there and to move forward in the transition.”

      There are things you think, and there are things, as President, you don't say.

      You're just as classless as the man you accused of being a "clown," the one whom you told, during a debate to "shut-up."

      This, coming from a man who spent 47 years in politics, ran for president 3 times, and accomplished...what?

      After all that, Biden is still lightyears ahead of Trump in terms of class.

            @George-K’s opening post is all about comparing personality class.

            If @George-K wants to compare something else, he can write about that as we can discuss that something else.

              Clearly it was rigged when Hillary was selected, anybody could see that.

              Maybe we should worry less about the largely non-existent fraud in the general election, and try and fix how the parties operate prior to that.

              The public has no say in internal Party policies.

                The public can certainly critique internal Party policies.

                What, are you two to never comment on the Democratic Party’s internal party polices until you formally register as Democrats?

                  I've always said that Biden was a poor choice for President.

                  Complaining about his lack of class and grace after 4 years of what we've just had is a joke.

                  I'm much more concerned about his inability to stand up to the left of the party and have the mental acuity to make difficult decisions.

                  However, Biden would never have been President if the GOP had run a decent candidate, just as Trump would never have made if the Dems had found somebody better than Hillary.

                  I agree, yet he was the man for the moment. I'm not sure who else could have beaten Trump.

                    It wasn't goebbels that said it, it was Hitler himself. But the US government later used to to describe communism, it's even the name of a US propaganda film from the 50s.

                      That's right. That's why I said Biden goes the full Godwin.

                      If it had been Goebbels, it would have been the half-Godwin.

                                Biden hasn't been anywhere near as crass as Trump, at least from what I've seen.

                                Regarding this week, as far as I'm concerned it confirms what I've said about him all along.

                                Yeah, yeah, I know, TDS. The problem is all with me. I can't see his positive side because I'm so deranged by the fact that he's such a twat.

                                  Re the inauguration: Trump will be "there" whether he's there or not. So he might as well stay away.
