Exactly. Such convenient lapses of memory.
inb4 false equivalence. We might as well change the "false equivalence" term to mean "when you try to point out the same thing on my side of the aisle".
Biden fucking up already

As I explained to you before, in the run up to the election, that stuff may have worked on Clinton but it’s not going to work on Biden. As you have already seen. I am absolutely certain that Senate Republicans will conduct hearings on all sorts of things they claim are Biden related, if that makes you feel any better.
It does. And they will.
And there is already plenty of documentation, emails, texts, and corroboration by business partners who have flipped. Or as you call it "fake news."
Big guy gets 10. He should get ten years.
I'm OK with Biden not personally getting involved in going after Trump and just taking a hands off approach to the Justice Department. With Vance in New York on Trump's tail, and the charges there would likely be of the felony sort, Trump may be headed for the "Big House". If convicted, it would be enough to quiet Donald down for awhile (Difficult to raise too much of a Ruckus while in State Prison, I would imagine.)
In my opinion the number one priority, after emergency issues are handled, should be to pass statutory laws giving Congress more enforcement power, and limiting the power of the Presidency. We need statutory law to settle unambiguously the issue of whether Presidents can be indicted; coming down, I would hope, on the side of "yes they can be!". If we don't want indictment to be politically abused, then why not spell out the specific presidential transgressions that are indictable? Donald Trump's exasperating insouciance can serve as the inspiration for such legislation.
Also, as the Constitution leaves far too much to common sense when it come to Presidential pardoning power. We must put into statutory law restraints on Presidential pardons without stepping on Constitutional toes. Easily enough done! Not even our rigged Supreme Court is going to overturn Statutory law making it clear that Constitutional pardoning power does not extend as far as pardoning one's self. One would think this is a "no brainer". And no brain is what it takes for a lawyer to conclude that the President can pardon himself. But such brainless lawyers exist. This attribute seems to be one that Donald looks for when selecting lawyers.
A very clever congress might even be able to do something to shut down gerrymandering, even though districting, which goes to the heart of the issue, is a state matter. States use the census to trigger re-districting, so a possible avenue might be via federal census regulation, and another might be via the Constitution. Gerrymandering is really fucking with democracy big time!
Because the Republicans will block all progressive legislation that would put more power in the hands of the majority and lessen there own, none of the foregoing can be accomplished until the Democrats take control of Both Houses of Congress plus the White House. The December, Senate run-off in Georgia looms large. If the Democrats don't pull it off, it will be 2022 when they get their next opportunity. Twenty-twenty-two, however, looks quite favorable for a change in Senate control, as more Republican Senators' term will be expiring..

Biden has been useless for what? 47 years?
& the Dems fall in line (if there's malfeasance, why stop?):

Democrats tell Supreme Court they might drop fight for Mueller documents because Trump lost the election
The committee had justified its request for the normally closely-guarded grand jury materials on the basis that the records might help with an investigation into whether to impeach the president for a second time.
"The Committee's investigations into misconduct by President Trump, oversight of agency activities during the Trump Administration, and consideration of related legislative reforms have remained ongoing," wrote Douglas Letter, the general counsel for the House of Representatives.
"But a new Congress will convene in the first week of January 2021, and President-elect Biden will be inaugurated on January 20, 2021," he added. "Once those events occur, the newly constituted Committee will have to determine whether it wishes to continue pursuing the application for the grand-jury materials that gave rise to this case."

Would be fun to watch Biden be president, except it wouldn't be really be funny.
