    Not until Biden takes his hand off the Bible on Jan. 20, 2021. If he does.

    Just once I would like to see Democrats look toward the future instead of whining about the past. It really shouldn't be too much to ask.

    Are you insinuating Joe Biden is going to have his hand on a bible for four years like one of those used car lot contest gimmicks?

    Obama tried that. Look what it got him. Democrats are dealing with an authoritarian white nationalist opposition. "Looking forward, not back" is an invitation for disaster. It is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time, you know. Any prosecution or investigation will under DOJ, which has no role in what will be Biden administration priority one, getting the vaccine distribution together and containing the virus as much as possible until that happens.

    What did it get Obama? Eight years of a pretty successful presidency.

    “Looking forward is an invitation for disaster” is genuinely one of the most ridiculous things imaginable, but you do you.

    Why do Democrats have to be the one's on guard? It shouldn't be too much to ask that Republicans honor the laws of this country and respect the traditions. If we don't hold Trump accountable for a hamfisted coup attempt, then who do we hold accountable?

    I don't get what Biden has to do with it.

    Barring a pardon (ain't gonna happen), judicial departments should do what judicial departments are supposed to do.

    We have to look forward: Forward to a time when this country works again. We can't do that if we allow the people who have blatantly tried to undermine democracy, fair elections, the will of the people, the laws of our country to get away with it. Then what is the point of having these laws if we just allow authoritarian wannabes to get away with the shit they've pulled?

    This is exactly what Biden thinks.

    And again, Nuremberg wasn't some congressional committee. It was a criminal court. There's no point in bringing this to Congress. DOJ needs to come down with criminal indictments against these guys. Even if "these guys" includes members of Congress who aided and abetted attempts to undermine the election process.

    Ignoring this is not an option. Also, the key to having more than one person running the country is we can have people looking and planning forward, while others can backtrack and prosecute those who have blatantly broken laws, undermined our democracy and done anything but serve the people.

    This country can move forward and look back. I don't disagree that we need to move forward. But if we don't look back and punish those who tried to hamper this country's efforts to move forward, then what will that teach the sycophants about consequences moving forward? Nothing. So we'll never be able to move forward.
