What Unity?

Can Joe Biden bring unity to the nation? I have no idea but it doesn't matter. He's not even going to try.

Look at where we are right now. The outgoing president was impeached. There was no hearings, no debate, no investigation. They say that he incited insurrection but they don't have a single quote calling for that. They haven't bothered to find a single witness who can testify that he was taking orders from Trump rather than acting on his own. They just copied some charges from the newspaper and went with that. By that standard, Joe Biden can be impeached for forcing the Ukranian prosecutor to be fired.

Members of Congress are accusing their fellows of being co-conspirators and of having given reconnaissance tours to insurrectionists.

There are calls for members of COngress to be expelled for making objections to the election. Never mind that the Democrats did the same thing after the 2000, 2004 and 2016 election. What was patriotic then is
treasonous now.

Tens of thousands of troops have been brought in to guard the inauguration. This is the most troops even in DC in peacetime and more than stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day.

But members of Congress are worried that there might be insurrectionists in the troops. They can't be trusted so the FBI is investigating them all.

And where is Joe Biden during all this? He's egging them on.

Remember how upset he was about reports that Trump didn't want to be at a D-Day memorial because he didn't want to get his hair wet and that he called the war dead "losers"? Joe called on the ghost of his sainted son Beau. Where is that indignation now that current troops are being slandered?

Yes, Biden says that he'll be president for all Americans but he's shown before that he despises Trump and has sneered at anyone who supported Trump. How can you call for unity from Trump voters after you've called him a clown during a national debate?

Unity means respecting the other side and making concessions. Biden has no intention of doing that. He has a stack of planned Day One orders reversing as much of the Trump administration as possible and advancing a far-left agenda. He's also declared that America is suffering from a crisis of racism. He's made other statements about Trump voters being racists.

This is not the unity of a President who is looking out for all Americans. This is the unity of one side knocking the other to its back and putting a foot on its neck.

If Biden wants unity then he needs to start seeking moderation instead of partisanship.

He can start by calling on the Senate to vote against conviction of Trump and to urge the various prosecutors who want to jail Trump to end their efforts. He can stop calling half of America racist and claiming that we are having a crisis of racism. He's old enough to remember what real racism was in the 1950s and 60s. He should respect the progress since then and be willing to stand up to his party.

But he won't because he's just a partisan hack.
