^what you shall do foremost is to mantain your institutional and electoral frame, as it is. the main issue is discredit and humiliation form a vulgar public discourse to the electoral college ad institutions.

it is not possible to breach a republical tradition without popular disdain and false common sense. their inner circles, as family associates -or wall street journal press- will pour such whining into voters.

so stand firmly, and do not rewrite articles. they usually use dark rain, as falsely opposed fringe parties.

Despite my hard work and best efforts, "our institutions passed the test," former House speaker Paul Ryan says at Biden’s inauguration.

He might have said the first part quietly.

We had a special election in Alabama yesterday in HD-33. The district is just north of Alexander City and includes part of the Talladega National forest. The incumbent died of cancer.

As expected the Republican Ben Robbins won overwhelmingly 68-31 in this ruby red district,

It's a really dumb move from him to announce it now, when the people he needs to go through with it are the ones who would be hurt the most by it.

Trump has very much just stabbed the Republican Party in the back whilst he is reliant on them for help. I don't see how this is going well for him.

Yep. I expect the virus not to be a significant problem in 3 weeks in the USA now that Biden is in charge. People convinced me that Trump is to blame for the virus so if the virus is still a big problem in the USA in 3 weeks, who can we blame?

My expectations are high Mr. Biden. Please don't disappoint me. If you do, I expect you (or at least your followers) to issue a public apology to Mr. Trump. The alternative is for the media to equally blame Mr. Biden for any deaths that occur 2-3 weeks after today and constantly attack him.

Personally, I know what I wrote is pure bull manure. Biden and Trump are not God and they are not scientists. These 'gentlemen' didn't create the virus and blaming the deaths on them is unfair.

Not unfair at all. It is their responsibility to ensure people take the necessary precautions to keep people alive. If Biden fails, he shall be blamed for it, albeit only in the short term since increased vaccine distribution combined with the upcoming approvals of the Oxford and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will render it moot inside eight months.
