Joe Biden Had Better Be Forced To Be A President Of The Future Instead Of A Return To The Trump Producing Status Quo Ante

If Joe Biden wins the election one of our most important jobs is to immediately put pressure on him to mount a full investigation of the many crimes of the Trump regime, its treason, its theft, its violations of the rights of people. STEALING BABIES AND YOUNG CHILDREN AND PUTTING THEM IN CAGED CONCENTRATION CENTERS FOR FUCKSAKE!, some of them citizens, its massive crimes against egalitarian democracy - and so attacks on the American People - and to prosecute and punish a lot of very rich, white people, people of privilege wealth and fame, the kind of people who get away with everything in what was, before Trump, the normal course of events.  I support Biden's election fully,  I am skeptical that he will be any better at doing what was necessary to protect all of those people and things attacked by Trump than Obama was.    If Obama had dropped the bipartisan bullshit the day after the election and played hard ball he might have been the great president that his voters were led to expect from his campaign and the idiotic romanticism best exemplified in the TV show that came to quickly seem like a lying mockery of that kind of mythical excellence in the presidency,  The West Wing. 

The Trump era has been an epoch of Constitutionally enabled, permitted and sustained evil the like of which we have never seen in our lifetimes,  though the history of the American government, especially throughout most of the 19th and early 20th centuries have provided ample preludes to.  The 19th century, in fact, can be seen as one long example of  the problems with and evils permitted in the system set up by the Constitution leading to the Civil War . In recent decades, especially through the legal theories championed by the Republican establishment and elite law schools,  the Constitution has been weaponized to destroy American democracy,  the unitary executive theory is an explicitly fascist view of the American presidency favored by some of our most elite and corrupt legal minds. It is matched by many others tending towards if not explicitly endorsing the kind of corruption that is personified in Trump and his government.   

Biden's long time in the Senate will have provided him with some of the worst tendencies in Democratic politicians, the emetic calls for "comity" in that body, the idea that we should return to the "normal" which is the thing that got us Trump will be at work immediately.   There is some chance that Biden and those around him will have learned something that will keep them from doing as Obama did, as Bill Clinton did to a lesser but still disastrous effect (remember Louis Freeh?), trusting Republicans.   GETTING SUCKERED BY THE DC-NYC MEDIA INTO APPOINTING THEM TO POSITIONS OF TRUST.*  

That is the mortal sin that any desire to turn to any past is, the refusal to participate in the creation of the future by demanding a return to what produced the evils we have to struggle against.   THAT IS THE REASON THAT I SO DETEST THE CULT OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FETISH OF THE FOUNDERS, those are the conventional version of Confederacy romanticism that are the required superstition of the show-biz, the journalistic, the educated and elite areas of American life.  Deviation from those, violations of those are met with everything from confused incomprehension to furious excommunication in the cheesiest tradition of Brit anti-Catholic theatrical and movie scripts.  

Biden, old as he is, has to be convinced he is not a return to the past, he, by running for president in 2020 chose to make himself a figure of the post-Trump future, if we are lucky.   If there are two people in the world he should not look to as models for a Biden presidency it is the last two Democratic presidents,  Bill Clinton and, especially, Barack Obama.  

We have got to face the terrible fact that that Constitution which is the idol of civic idolatry in educated and uneducated America carries terrible features intentionally put into it by the slave power and their Northern allies and those who compromised with them with the explicit intent of giving us rule by a malignant minority.   And those have worked too often for us to tolerate them anymore.  Getting rid of a host of things, starting with the Electoral College that gave us both Bush II and Trump is essential to protect equality and democracy.   The extra-Constitutional privileges the Supreme Court granted itself, making it the McConnell-Trump vehicle for destroying American democracy have got to be decisively and permanently removed from it.   The rigging of it by McConnell, as well his Grassley's and Graham's corruption of the federal courts is all we need to attack that problem.  If a Democratic President and Congress refused to allow that to continue, it would not.   It's not as if the present Courts will not allow Republicans to ignore past precedent set by the courts when the time is ripe for 

Republican-fascism.   I doubt any product of any Ivy League law school is going to be willing to imagine anything so bold a response to the real reality instead of the pantomime of judicial tradition that is the typical bull-shit presentation of a pretty corrupt reality. 

*  If you take nothing else away from this, take away that we have to end the convention that has put the FBI and other such agencies in the hands of Republican leadership.  The one and only person from that world who came out of the period in which Comey helped give us Trump by playing politics during the crucial election and its aftermath of it who I have any respect for is Andrew McCabe.  I have no idea what party he belongs to if any, he is the only one who I have as of yet found did little to nothing to condemn. 

NO DEMOCRAT SHOULD EVER AGAIN APPOINT A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN DURING A CRIMINAL REPUBLICAN REGIME TO ANY POSITION OF TRUST.  Especially in the areas of law enforcement.
