A day in which one sports item is mentioned in politics, namely the aluminium baseball bat, is a rare.
A day in which two sports items is red letter.
Michael from Michigan because that's not confusing at all was arrested for beating cops with a hockey stick.
Oh, funny story: I posted Legal Eagle literally yesterday about the murderous insurrection. He, being not just an expert but also smarter than me, suggested that weaker/misdemeanor crimes would be filed first then larger/felonies later. This is now happening.
But I think he also mentioned the all-important Jan 20th date. Trump can't pardon anymore. So Trump would have had three options, all bad:
1) Give blanket pardons to the murderous insurrectionists on his way out the door, cementing his role in the matter, further weakening his 2024 power, and maybe even inviting obstruction charges.
2) Do nothing, leave his rabid fanbase who attacked the House/Senate on his own orders to go to prison, hanging them out to dry because they no longer serve any purpose to Trump. This, of course, is what happened because Trump is a piece of #2.
3) Pardon the misdemeanors, see 1), but leave open the upcoming felonies, see 2), the worst of both worlds.
As someone who lives balls-deep in Hockey Country, I can personally attest to how much damage you can do by hitting someone with a hockey stick.
Not all that much, honestly, compared to other weapons of that size. They're designed for finesse strikes, not bludgeoning for raw power. I've handled my share of sticks and OH GOD THAT LOOKS WRONG I've inspected several university sports league pieces of sports equipment and I'm pretty sure they'd shatter if you really wound up and swung for the fences. Maybe one of the old-school sticks would survive, but not the ones I've seen in the college shop. Bare minimum, you'd snap the blade off at the joint, and then have a slightly shorter broom handle.

It was literally his first day in office. The Obamas had to escort Melania inside because Trump ditched her. Originally Posted by Winter Blossom

I don't know if this is more appropriate for Biden's topic, but in the fallout of Trump, it's weird how people don't just see Joe Biden as a replacement that's better than nothing but a much better person already. He hasn't even done anything yet but it's just such a bizarrely assured atmosphere.

Well, he's not a fascist... so it's a start. Why are you so upset that the fascist is gone? Originally Posted by YUPPIE

For one, he isn't demanding kids to stay in cages on the border instead of releasing them back to their home country or into the US. For that matter, he was doing that will all immigrants. Originally Posted by YUPPIE

He has signed several executive orders... this isn’t Trump... he isn’t going to go on Twitter and claim his every fart is the greatest ever... might be one of the reasons people are feeling so much better. Originally Posted by YUPPIE

*rubs temples*President Biden has removed the Diet Coke button. When ShippersUnbound and I interviewed Donald Trump in 2019, we became fascinated by what the little red button did. Eventually Trump pressed it, and a butler swiftly brought in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. It's gone now.

He should have replaced it with a direct call button to Mar-A-Lago to prank Trump. Originally Posted by Benggaul

He actually has done a lot more on Day 1 than Trump did the entire time as president. Originally Posted by YUPPIE

Another of Trump's legacies destroyed.
Biden's inauguration got higher TV ratings than Trump's did.

It did? Without the Press Secretary spending 10 minutes talking about it and holding up a picture of it and yelling at reporters asking for verification of this, I wouldn't know. Originally Posted by Breccia

Can you imagine how it is for kids turning 16 or 17 right now? For the duration of their cognitive thought, the example of president was Trump. We have a generation that has Trump as majority of their frame of reference, for a president. 2024 will be interesting... Originally Posted by Edge-

Hey, at least there's one benefit to it. The past four years have been the single biggest national civics course in US history, so hopefully they at least picked up a few things here and there and don't think that the job of the Press Secretary is to come out, read a statement, insult reporters for a bit, and then fuck off.
