By my reckoning, he has yet to denounce Antifa or BLM violence.
Antifa, the left-wing anti-fascist movement whose followers have used aggressive tactics including physical confrontations to intimidate groups they deem authoritarian or racist.
The Soviet Communist Party, whose followers have used aggressive tactics including physical confrontations to intimidate groups they deem class enemies of the Soviet people....
The American government isn't exactly lily-white in this respect, either. People talk about the good old days before modern liberalism became such a terrible blight - presumably, they mean the good old days of J. Edgar Hoover and Josph McCarthy, who used aggressive tactics to intimidate groups they deemed enemies of The American Way of Life.
You mean the guy that used the FBI’s resources to illegally gather information about political enemies?
Oh, and the guy that would got businesses shut down and people’s careers and lives ruined over unproven accusations?

I think he was talking about the guy who (presumably) had the IRS weaponized against people whose ideology differed from his.
I could be wrong, though.

My point was that the good old days weren't. Maybe America sucks now, as some here seem to think, but it sure sucked then.

"Mr. President-Elect! Are you going to condemn and disavow these violent threats against a member of President Trumps legal team?"

I’m really happy we’re back to having expectations that a President should speak out about incivility.

The other thing I’m happy about is the recognition that Biden stands for defense of our democratic institutions, such that lawyers that are attacking them are perceived to be working contra his interest.

Really?
Look at the dozens of times President Trump was asked to speak out against incivility, which he did, even while being occasionally impolite.
C'mon, chump! Don't be a dog-faced lying pony soldier, or I'll make you feel my hairy legs. Maybe challenge you to a pushup contest.

George - here’s what I mean - did it ever cross your mind to expect Trump to distance himself from the threats against the PA and GA Secretaries of State?
Hell, even hoping he didn’t pile on would have seemed like an unreasonable expectation. Well, not unreasonable, just an expectation likely to be dashed.

Let's go back to the days when the State of the Union address was thrown in the trash while still in one piece.

Not for them, though, hence the bias.

Yep, the guy who doesn't mind Antifa burning down Portland?

Jolly - what does the mayor of Portland have to do with this? I thought we were taking about President Elect Biden.

Biden doesn't even recognize Antifa as an organization.

You have GOT to be joking. There's no way you are that tone deaf. You simply have GOT to be making a joke.
Trump could take lessons from Biden on incivility. The most uncivil person to hold that office in my lifetime was Obama. It's funny how this works - a democrat says something rude or sarcastic and the media ignores it and reminds everyone what a charming, articulate, dignified, wonderful, just all around perfect person he is. He can do no wrong. But a Republican can make a single minor comment the media can take out of context and the media spends hours and hours a day for months portraying him as the devil incarnate. I expect low information voters and goofballs like Ax and Sock to Falk for it, but you're not that dumb.

It's amusing watching people who gladly accepted "adults in the whitehouse" bragging via the NYT that they are actively subverting the duly elected president, now pretend to give a flying fuck about our institutions. Backbones require a backbone, otherwise they aren't bakbones.

Horace wants to know whattabout the anonymous op-ed???
Interesting thing about that - the guy’s identity was revealed and he was oversold by the NYT. He was a deputy or assistant director of the DHS or something like that. Didn’t even work in the White House.

No, I didn't want to know. I was interested to know your reaction, along with every other TDS sufferer in the country, to this direct undermining of our institutions.
