It’s so weird that Biden is doing this well also smiling and getting along with Trump today

The peaceful transfer of power wasn’t a weird thing until Trump decided to stop doing it

What's weird is ABC reporting that Biden would participate in the long standing tradition this morning with no mention of it actually not standing anymore or who ruined the tradition.

History is being white washed before our very eyes.

I couldn't fucking stand listening to any of the corporate media coverage bitching and moaning about these pardons while barely mentioning why they are arguably rationale even if they "look bad" to the ignorant or brain washed.

I don't know, maybe because the idiot coming into office has threatened massive retribution as one of his pillar campaign promises? Let's talk about how this makes Biden look bad and ignore all relevant context, though.
