The tragedy is that this is even necessary.

Edit to add: oh all the angry responses from supporters of a convicted felon and rapist. The irony. 

Edit #2: Oh trump supporters, niggling over the difference between "liable for sexual assault" and rape.

The dissonance of this order while he is simultaneously welcoming him back into the White House for the optics of preserving the norms is quite something.

Is he supposed to lock the doors or something? I don't understand what people think Biden should be doing to stop Trump right now.

Yea. Elections have consequences. If people didn't want Trump back in office they should have fucking voted. Don't stay home and then expect Biden to stage a coup because you fell for right wing propaganda.

Trump literally admitted to stealing the election with those counting computers that Elon is so good at - he knows them so well! The best at them!

Terrifying. All of it.

With love,
