Agree. Joe is a total sellout.I was ready to read it until I saw it was a Joe Hildebrand piece. Not worth my time.

I’m not sure an article could include any more cliches and lazy labels than this.Alternative view of Trump’s demise.
Dumb decision Trump haters will regret — news.com.au
This time next week, Donald Trump will be just a memory in the White House. But “stupid” decisions are being made by his opponents.apple.news
Why is that a bad thing? And why was Trump's reign a good thing?With Biden, normal transmission has resumed. Bush clinton bush obama biden - same dogshit slightly different smell. They all serve the same master. Trump was the bump in the road they didn't see coming. Hillary was the next in line. Left, Right, Democrat, Republican - meh. All a smokescreen to divide and control the masses.

Essentially his argument is don’t do what is right because by doing it the crazy conspiracy theories of Trumpsters will be reinforced.
What about the precedent that doing nothing creates? That it’s ok to encourage insurrection without consequence!
I read it too, as I didnt know who the author was. Guessing a sydney shock jock as he is from 2GB.Well at least you bothered to read it.
The most interesting part was where Trump might end up after jan 20. Online with 75M new subscribers! Dems will say ‘jail’.

Of course I read most things, it’s the way I ascertain what is BS.Well at least you bothered to read it.

Nothing to do with nihilism. Yes all those things matter, who disputes that?More "they are all the same" nihilism. Policies matter. Character matters. Democracy matters.. Corruption matters.
As Churchill said, "Democracy is the least-worst system of government we have".

You are assuming that all 75 million who voted for Trump would become subscribers but of course that is not true, many voted for him because they are rusted on republican.
The best thing that could happen to the GOP and the US in general is that his group of loonie supporters break away and the Republican Party can go back to being a decent alternative party.

Churchill was wrong.
Personally, I believe a criminal trial that actually uses judicial balance of probabilities rather than party lines for their guilt determination to be the better solution to attempt to punish Trump.
Here's another view by a US political news set that is fairly balanced, as opposed to Hildebrand who has proven himself to be a Chris Kenny wannabe trying too hard to do nothing but shouting down anything his paymasters don’t like hearing
The post-Trump Republican Party has been gutted in almost every way imaginable
The GOP brand is radioactive for a huge chunk of America.www.axios.com
I agree. Unless Trump is actually prosecuted for Federal crimes, that can't happen. Biden will be reluctant to do that as it opens the door for his successor to prosecute him and so on. I think the impeachment will fail in the senate and NY state (and maybe other states) will prosecute for state crimes.
It's weak. I don't buy the "time for healing" BS. A failure to prosecute Trump for sedition will enable future Trumps to try the same thing.
I can easily see how Republicans don't want Trump as their next candidate, or involved in the party in anyway, but not want to see a Republican President the first removed from Office.I'm not sure I'd call that balanced either personally.
On the Ipsos poll, it shows moderate republicans swinging away from Trump actually. Its expected to see the Trump supporters constantly have his back. What the article doesn't show is how many people fit into each band.
Eg. the statement below the poll results states "Republicans across the U.S. are siding with President Trump over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — big time — according to a new Axios-Ipsos poll."
But is that really the case. Ignoring Trump supporters for the moment, moderate republicans are supporting Trump at 41%, so that means 59% DON'T want him as their next presidential candidate so are they really siding with Trump over McConnell. We don't know how many fit into each box. If the majority of republicans see themselves as moderate republicans and not Trump supporters then the article is not being factual in the way it is expressed.
That’s debatable. In any case what matters more to a society is the character of the people within it more-so than it’s system of government. The absolute monarchy of Lichtenstein is far superior than democratic India for example. Also, you don’t just topple a dictatorship and install democracy and expect a good result. If the voting majority are bad people then you could easily get a worse result.You and I agree that Churchill was probably wrong, but of all systems of government put into practice in history he's been proved right so far.
I agree the impeachment will fail in the senate, but I do think that the District of Columbia will charge him with incitement to riot. If NY state charge him for other things then thats upto them.
I'm not sure whether Trump will pardon himself, but I agree on Bidens reluctance to charge him but not necessarily for the reasons you state. Biden's first few years will be trying to put out the fires that the Trump presidency has poured fuel onto, from both sides of politics, so I'm not sure pushing for federal penalties will be in his current mindset. He can distance himself somewhat from state judicial trials.
Bidens presidency IMO will be all about reconciliation and he will almost be a patsy president, putting the fires out to then push for a Harris presidency from 2024 to push the actual policies.
