The orchestrated storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has gone a long way towards legitimizing Joe Biden as President-elect of the United States, a feature article in the London Guardian crowed today, but there is still much to be done to remove Donald Trump entirely from the political landscape and totally subjugate the nation to London’s policies. Simon Tisdall, the assistant editor of the Guardian, wrote with some disappointment that it is unlikely that President Trump will be removed from office before Jan. 20 by the 25th Amendment, impeachment or forced resignation: “It’s just not that easy, politically or legally,” even though “In some parts of the world, Trump would be shot out of hand for sedition.”
Tisdall continued: “In one sense, the storming of Congress has simplified matters. It shocked America and to some extent, united it. A majority will condemn the violence, even if an extraordinarily large number of voters still believe Trump’s lies about electoral theft and fraud. It ultimately made certifying Joe Biden’s victory easier.… By belatedly condemning the rioters and offering an `orderly transition,’ Trump may have defused some of the pressure to sack him.”
