Like Clarence Thomas?

He's waiting for the Trump administration to retire.

No one who has been in Washington for decades has been serving our country.  Biden is no exception.  You are being naive.   He is scum.

Funny how he's being so warm and friendly to Hitler.  

Keeping the tradition and expectation of a peaceful and friendly transfer of power is now criticized.  Welcome to 2024.

I don't care that you think he's scum, but I totally resent being called naive.  I see things as they are to me.

 I understand politicians are self serving and love power.

Not criticizing.  Just pointing out that Democrats don't really believe their own rhetoric that Trump is another Hitler.  They were fear-mongering.

Wasn't meant to be offensive.  My apologies.

Well I wasn't nominating him for Sainthood or the Nobel Prize. 

And no democrats, myself included,  don't believe that rhetoric because not many of us were spewing it, and it really wasn't a main campaign theme.  The theme was "he was a threat to democracy" and I think that was a valid concern given that he doesn't believe in Democracy and called it a fraud.  

Were there people making that reference, yes there were and many articles were written about it.  Rolling Stone magazine as recent as October wrote about the comparisons.  Even J D Vance called him the "new Hitler" but still not many people believed he was going to be like Hitler, become a dictator and exterminate millions.  But listen carefully and you'll see why the reference pops up.

Trump won the election and won the popular vote.

Yep.  Trump will fill the seat with a 30 year old with no trial experience @AileenCannon.

Didn't a Democrat call him a "house slave/ uncle Tom"?

It's like a mental illness. Almost anyone can point out a symptom they have that's listed in the DSM . 

I could provide examples by listening carefully associating Nazi ideology on democrats. Disarm the population comes to mind. How about controlling the media? (Dusinformation). Government suggesting to social media to not allow certain content on their platforms? Harris said herself that dishes wants to hold social media accountable for what is said on their platforms 

What about the idea that one group is responsible for all the oppression of the other group? That this group has to be systemically dismantled  or re-imagined and ? (Antirascist, whitness etc) . 

Find any Nazi parallels in that?

No, but finding some parallels in places like Norway and all of Europe where the populace is generally disarmed and there are age limits and other restrictions to social media.  Germany itself bans references to the Third Reich.  Some countries decided they didn't want a free for all when Elon Musk bought Twitter, now X.  

The idea that one group is responsible for all of the oppression of the other group.  Yes Democrats probably do that to white cis men for than republicans, who chose to scapegoat immigrants and the transgendered.  So maybe that's like Germany blaming the Jews for the world's problems?

It's interesting that the two men are held to completely different standards in the public's eye.  But yes, Harris was saddled and brought down by Biden in many ways.  

I'm not sure I agree with the article above.  But Harris and Democrats should have acted sooner and clearly were covering up his ability to run for a 2nd term.  

When I heard all the post-election interviews not one mentioned that they voted for Trump because Harris sugar coated Biden's mental abilities.  I also don't think there was a big jump from Democrats to Republicans because she "destroyed the credibility of the party".  

On the contrary there was a massive switch in support to her, 20,000 people showed up at her rallies all around the country. The excitement all around the party for Harris was palpable.   Her dumping Biden energized the party and restored optimism and didn't destroy confidence in the Party.  In my opinion.   

Republicans were not happy that Democrats said he was fine one day and tossed him aside the next day.  Sure, some of us Democrats were as well.  I even said so if you remember.

Biden and Harris are now lame duck and old news to me.  The election is starting to be old news to me.

Aileen Cannon was a U.S. Assistant Attorney for several years before Trump appointed her.

In a tiny rural area.  An assistant attorney is not judging experience.  Only 4 of her cases actually went to trial.Her judicial colleagues asked her to step down from the assignment of the documents cases and she refused and showed the world what a neophyte she was.  She was rebuked by a three member  appeals court which stated that she had tried to create a "special exception" for Trump.
