He decided to ride the tiger of impeachment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it has to happen,\u201d the president said in a brief TV interview about his party\u2019s bid to try Donald Trump. Biden conceded a Senate trial would slow confirmation of his nominees and passage of legislation tied to pandemic relief, but insisted there would be \u201ca worse effect if it didn\u2019t happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t say what could be worse, but let\u2019s take a guess: Democrats obsessed with getting revenge on Trump would get furious at Biden. That\u2019s the only possible answer because only Democrats would revolt if Trump were not put in the dock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chalk it up to another example of Biden having trouble with the transition from partisan candidate to president. You might remember his promise to work for all Americans, no matter how they voted, but he\u2019s already forgotten it. His dozens of executive orders and pronouncements show he\u2019s working only for left-wing Dems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to impeachment, he\u2019s also late to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. Biden\u2019s first clear support for Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Folly comes just as the winds are shifting in Trump\u2019s favor and the chance of conviction is rapidly approaching zero.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The change reflects the fact that the Dems\u2019 theater of the absurd is becoming more messy and less logical with each passing day. Tempers over the Jan.6 Capitol riot are cooling and reality is setting in about the pitfalls of a trial and the need to get on with governing during the twin public-health and economic crises.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Start with the concept of the trial itself. A CNN caption on a photo of House managers walking the single article to the Senate said it would start \u201conly the fourth impeachment trial of a president in US history.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Except Trump is no longer president. An honest caption would have noted this would be the first impeachment trial of a former president \u2014 and thus a private citizen \u2014 by the Senate. Doesn\u2019t quite have the same zing, but happens to be true.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The justification for a trial is even shakier with the decision by Chief Justice John Roberts to be a no-show. Roberts has bailed out, reportedly refusing to preside because Trump is no longer president.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Constitution says the court\u2019s chief justice \u201cshall preside\u201d when the president is the accused, but Roberts either decided he doesn\u2019t have to, or shouldn\u2019t, because Trump is out of office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy will preside, making the Democrat both juror and judge. How\u2019s that for fairness?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These events shoot a big hole in the Dems\u2019 rationale, and Sen. Rand Paul created an even bigger one Tuesday. The Kentucky Republican gave a powerful speech in which he called the process a \u201csham\u201d and, by asserting the trial would be unconstitutional, forced each senator to vote yes or no on the question. Only five Republicans voted \u201cyes\u201d with all 50 Democrats, meaning the 45 other GOP senators view the trial as unconstitutional. It is close to a given that they would also vote to acquit Trump, meaning there will be nowhere near the 67 votes needed for conviction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if Trump isn\u2019t convicted, he can\u2019t be barred from future public office, which is the ultimate aim of the Trump haters in both parties. So why waste precious time with a trial, and add to the nation\u2019s overheated polarization, if the outcome is foreordained?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The key vote came from minority leader Mitch McConnell, who sided with Paul\u2019s claim that a trial is unconstitutional. A week ago, McConnell let it be known he was \u201cdone\u201d with Trump and sent signals he might vote to convict, which would have opened the floodgates among his colleagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With his Tuesday vote, McConnell sealed those floodgates shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Part of the sudden GOP unity stems from the belief that the party without Trump supporters wouldn\u2019t win an election for dog catcher. Moreover, rumors that the former president might form a third party \u2014 \u2014 the Patriot Party \u2014 apparently got the attention of McConnell and others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A story on Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> left no room for doubt about the prospect. Jason Miller, a Trump adviser, was quoted as saying the former president \u201cmade clear his goal is to win back the House and Senate for Republicans in 2022,\u201d then added an ominous caveat. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing that\u2019s actively being planned regarding an effort outside of that, but it\u2019s completely up to Republican senators if this is something that becomes more serious,\u201d Miller said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is another development that could help Trump\u2019s defense. With so much of the charge against him based on his speech to the crowd on the morning of Jan. 6, it is noteworthy that The New York Times reported last Friday that the FBI is chasing what the Times calls the \u201cmasterminds of Capitol riot plots.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The article cites charges of conspiracy against three members of a group called Oath Keepers and suggests others were connected to them. In addition, the Times says there are photos \u201cshowing some people moving inside the building in tight formation, wearing military gear, carrying restraints and sometimes using hand signals or radios to communicate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are also other reports that some people arrived and entered the Capitol while Trump was still giving his speech, in which he said, \u201cI know everyone here will soon march to the Capitol to peacefully and patriotically make your \u00advoices heard.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although both things could be true \u2014 that Trump incited the crowd and that others plotted an invasion \u2014 the plot angle further muddies the rationale for an unprecedented show trial against a former president. All things considered, common sense and America\u2019s well-being dictate that Dems must let go of the past and focus on helping a ravaged, divided nation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_of_de_Blasios_empty_promises\"><\/span>More of de Blasio\u2019s empty promises<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mayor de Blasio came into office promising to tackle the \u201ctale of two cities\u201d and income equality. Proof of his failure is everywhere, especially regarding crime at the city\u2019s Housing Authority buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As The Post reports, murder is skyrocketing in the projects, even more so than in New York as a whole. At least 71 people were murdered in NYCHA\u2019s 302 properties in 2020, a 48 percent leap over the 47 killings in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Throw in the fact that City Hall has bungled \u2014 and lied about \u2014 lead paint in the same projects, and you get the picture of a mayor who is good at making slogans and awful at delivering results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cuomos_hypocrisy\"><\/span>Cuomo\u2019s hypocrisy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reader Michael Devine offers an interesting comparison, writing: \u201cGov.
