History buffs....

So on Monday the electoral college will vote and Biden will be the next President. The expectations are so unbelievably low for this incoming President that just not dying might exceed them. (RIP William Henry Harrison)

And that's ok. It was never supposed to be a powerful job in the first place.

Cheers to the most boring Presidency since.....?

Chester A. Arthur

Duh.

Although he did sport some sweet, sweet mutton chops. The best pound for pound mutton chops in United States presidential history; and that remains undebatable to this day.

And sure, Mark Twain thought president Arthur was the tits; but then again, how much credence can you really lend to the opinion of guy who used a pseudonym his entire literary career for apparently no good reason at all, before squandering away his fortune by investing in the Paige Compositor typesetting machine of all things?? I mean who in the hell thought that was good idea? I'm serious. What in the fu*k market was there for a typing machine that went for $15,000 retail....in 1880!? Price point was so damn expensive that not even the 1880 December holiday edition of the Sharper Image catalogue bothered to carry it. Shit, 15k?? That's the equivalent to $382,923.53 today in 2020 (literally. I just looked it up). And of the all of 11 people on the planet back then who could even afford to drop that kinda dough, who's paying fifteen thousand dollars for a friggin' typewriter...ever...let alone at a time when like half the adult population was still illiterate? And have ya seen that thing? The Paige Compositor was ENORMOUS. Talk about cumbersome. Where the hell you puttin' that thing, Mark? Riddle that one for me why don't 'cha? Arguably the most impractical thing I can think of...maybe, possibly ever. And if there's anyone who'd know a thing or two about impracticality -- it'd be me. I spend more hours being impractical than I do sleeping. Granted, I don't sleep much.

But anyhow, the f were we talking about here again? Boring presidents. Right; yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, so Chet Arthur's solo unelected term was boring AF. He's your answer @twenty02

It was like, wake me up when it's the 20th century.

And for those of you who have a hard time envisioning just how dull the Arthur administration years were, I‘d offer up this analogy: seeing that Arthur was an unelected robotic, vanilla VP, who only took office to begin with after the charismatic POTUS, James Garfield, who did all the heavy lifting on the ticket, was assassinated just 6 months in; I imagine it’d be akin to if the modern day Pubs had actually allowed testimony in the 2020 impeachment trial and then even took it one step further and impeached the motherfu*ker who shall remain nameless; thus, leaving with us with (shutter) Mike Pence. It‘d be exactly like that...minus the whole Anthony Perkins / Norman Bates vibe.

I don’t know that Biden has a whole lot of interest in governance. I think he just wants to sit in the Oval Office and take naps and let his Obama era buddies run the show. He’s been chasing this his entire life and now that he’s got it I think he just wants to sit back and enjoy it.

I don’t know that that kind of mentality is enough to keep the progressive wolves in the Democratic Party at bay, but for the most part he seems to have kept them out of his cabinet for now.

Biden will never be President.

How's that any different than what we had the last 4 years?

Why in the world would you think Biden has no interest in governing? Seems a pretty silly statement.

Um because the guy is simply appointing his buddies from the Obama administration to keep the lights on, mixed in with some intersectional tokens whose names he doesn’t know or can’t pronounce. Best thing that can happen to him is R’s win the senate and he can point at Mitch and say “that guy blocked everything I tried to do”.

Otherwise he’s caught in the middle of a progressive/ “moderate” civil war and he’s way to physically and mentally frail to take on that task.

I guess we will see. He will be there this January and we will see come the following. I still believe he is in cognitive decline and the Presidency is a job that ages even young men....

Trump isn't much younger numbnuts

And he's 'certainly no where near as competent or stable. How to these people convince themselves that Trump isn't a inept boorish habitually lying imbecile.... I can't imagine anyone being that .. stupid.... but there's so many of them. Is there a vaccine for Trump induced alter reality?

Cult ........
 
It will be refreshing to discuss policy and politics instead of the latest Trump outrage.

Why do I get the feeling that some on this board will be “but Trumping” to eternity?

Don’t get me wrong “but Obama” is hardly a rare retort on this board, but there are a select few posters on this board, who are so broken that they don’t even realize they shoehorn Trump into ever single post.

Not really. "But Clinton" is far more common than 'But Obama." About the only time Obama has been mentioned recently is in regards to sartorial choices.

You mean central moderate leaders high on competence and experience that he's knows and trusts who are there to serve the country, not serve one guy?

Yeah that's totally going to suck.

I much prefer incompetent cronies you got their positions because they paid for it or know how to lick Trump's balls exactly how he likes it.

It's kind of hard to scream the socialists are coming when the majority of his key cabinet positions are moderates.

I'm mean Janet Yellen for sec of treasury? The ex federal reserve chair with zero aspirations for a political career especially at her age?

Is Communist America soon to follow?
 
The guy tripped over a dog and fractured his ankle like two days ago lady. What planet you livingnet
The planet of reality which obviously doesn’t exist for you. He has a hairline fracture which is often no worse than a sprain. He was on a bike about two weeks ago too. Tripping on a dog, means what exactly? Because anyone with one trips on it several times a week, I guarantee you.
 
Frankly I will be surprised if he is still in office in January 2022.
Oh another conspiracy theorist eh? What’s your reasoning? Is he going to be assassinated? The Deep State going after him or Trumpster? He is healthier by a long shot than Trump has been in years. This cognitive decline stuff is good too, especially coming from people who put up with Trump’s mental health for hour years.
 
You realize in a few weeks Trump wont be president anymore. What will you do then? Will you have anything to post about? Like anything at all?
Trump isn't going into a quiet private life. He will forever try to steal attention from all officeholders and other public figures. He will keep blathering and tweeting so long as Republicans don't stand up to him. Trump = me me me me me. Trump needs to generate publicity so that he can solicit contributions.

Plus, no matter what Trump does, all the criminal and civil cases against Trump and affiliates are going to proceed. Also, there will be more revelations about his activities in office as, one by one, former White House personnel find new jobs and become brave enough to talk.

Unfortunately, the Trump name will probably remain in the news for some time to come. However, there is one thing that could reduce Trump's desire to remain in the public eye:

However, there’s enough going on in the world of the current president and congress to push Trump off the front page. All the MSM outlets won’t cover his lies like they do now because his position as president is over. I saw one reporter on Morning Joe last week compare Trump to a pop star who’s time is up. That’s about right.

A lot of difference!
If Biden does nothing as this guy "says," meaning "hopes," he may not do much, but in the same token, will not hurt the country.

That is quite a contrast to the guy HooDatGuy supports, who has been tearing apart the country right and left.
Yes, big difference indeed!
