Once again a Democrat president needs to undo the economic damages caused by his inept predecessor. Trump was much more interested in playing golf (on the public's dime), watching his daughter and son-in-law get richer 'serving' him, tweeting, giving tax breaks to the richest, all while millions of Americans lost jobs and fell deeper in debt..

is very wise of Biden to stay away from the impeachment trial. It is not one President vs another and getting involved would just make him look vindictive, whereas staying out of it and focusing on trying to fix the country shows a lot more emotional stability and intelligence, both of which have been severely lacking at the White House in recent years.

Smart move.
NOMINATION
Which the Senate is not doing obviously.

Biden has been advised to distance himself from his predecessor's catalog of crimes and misdemeanors in the interest of justice while the trial plays out, quite unlike the advice Obama took (or had to take) not to investigate the war crimes, systematic torture and illegal surveillance of the previous Republican administration, a heinous decision which only served the interests of the ruling elite and injustice.

Biden doing excactly what the previous inept Potus could not, and would not do.
The Adults are in charge now.

That makes me laugh every time I hear it. And the voters are little children being protected by their wise masters, right? Until Americans come out of fantasyland things will continue to get worse.

donald set the bar so low that we should be thankful a President is not encouraging insurrection and calling for attacks on the Vice President!!!!

I don’t know why that makes you laugh. We have leaders in politics, business, sports etc. We don’t live on leaderless communes with people dressed in robes and sandals. I work for a large company with a reasonably competent adult in charge. That’s better than having a child in charge.
We need people in charge. It is better to have adults in charge.
Are some libertarians advocating for no leaders these days?

At least they’ve now found the exit.

Smart move, he has enough dirty laundry as well.

Most definitely! Biden knows full well this impeachment farce is going nowhere and I agree with him he probably doesn’t want to get anywhere near this, the guy has enough on his plate as it is.

Apparently a few of the GOP Senators were whimpering when shown videos of the attack.
Scared of the thugs who attacked the Capitol.
Scared of donald lest they lose their seats.
Scared everyone will see for the soulless pathetic bunch they are!!!

Because Biden is trying to clean up the mess the country is in after four years of the fat guy doing nothing but playing golf. We've all seen how POTUS 42-44 have aged because of the stress and commitments which come with the job. There's hardly any stress if you spend most of your time in a holiday resort. Biden doesn't need to deal with this. The other politicians will deal with it. And then SDNY will also get the chance to pounce!

He could have avoided this whole nonsense by publicly stating that they should not waste time on it. In the event, while the impeachment circus plays out, he quietly removed another Trump order limiting the CCP influence by allowing the "Confucius Institute" outfit back into US universities. No complaints from Xi about that, rest assured.

And now we are in a bigger mess, a laughable impeachment case, rising unemployment, opening of the border and the mess is just starting...
COVID has definitely kept people away and it is more quiet for sure
No, he needs to worry about China and making sure he keeps on their tail for a number of reasons.
