Hot Type: We Need a Lion

At a time of unprecedented peril, Americans desperately need Joe Biden to rise from his slumber and save democracy from Trump, argues Heidi Siegmund Cuda

In a Rose Garden photo op, President Joe Biden promised a peaceful transfer of power. By contrast, the incoming Trump regime is promising state-sponsored violence on day one. 

You can’t have a peaceful transfer of power to a regime that is promoting violence. Trump is promising to destroy America with a regime of pro-Kremlin sycophants. He has declared war on America. He is promising the initiation of mass deportations at 12:01 pm on January 20, 2025, the minute he is inaugurated.

But at a time when we need the ferocity of a lion, we get a lamb.

All of the good and great work that Biden has done — his steady hand, his decency, his ability to steer America’s economy out of a global pandemic and return it to the envy of the world — all of that is being diminished in his final days where pro-democracy Americans are desperate for a hero of historic proportions.
