I have to think though that Biden could find a few military members and/or federal agents who would be willing to take on a covert assignment from the President aimed at eliminating national security threats. I'm not going to spell out the nature of the covert assignment(s) I'm talking about but I'm sure you can figure it out.
This may seem like an extreme and unethical act but under the circumstances, I don't think it is. With external threats, the President sends the military. They break things and kill people. It's justified by the righteousness and necessity of national defense. This is the same thing except the threat is from the inside.
How about he doesn't do that and add 'the president you can trust not to go nuts with the excessive power he's been granted' as a selling point. Because he's not going to do that.
Oh, I'm sure he's not going to do that. He's too good a man. But I fear we will all regret it. Because Trump is not too good a man. He will delight in that excessive power and use it without regret. And apparently, Americans are stupid enough to elect him.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
