We know, his supporters want payback. But the guy they elected claims not to be on board.

That’s not at all what he said.

Pretty sure I can read, I was an English major. What else did this mean?
from Biden to new administration staffers: Be nice to others or 'I will fire you on the spot'
“If you’re ever working with me, and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot,” Biden told new aides during a swearing-in ceremony following his inauguration. “On the spot.”
My dad used to have an expression: He said everyone, every single person, regardless of their background, is entitled to be treated with dignity," Biden said. “I expect you to do that for all the folks you deal with, all the folks we work for, the American people.”

Coleague =/= ‘every american’.

Second part of his statement didn’t broaden it to every American? Sure looks like it did to me. Are you sure you want to assert that he expects civility only among his people?

No - he’s explaining the basis of his threat. That everyone should be treated well. But his threat remains ‘you treat a colleague with disrepect and I’ll fire you.’

And then goes on to say every American deserves the same consideration.

But does not extend that to the original threat.

In what way did you glean that no one cares about civility?
And why do you continue to insist on lumping people instead of addressing them as they are!

What’s great is that I think he’s the perfect man for the job precisely because he is capable of ignoring, and tempering, those pleas. He knows the cycle is vicious. He underlined that in his speech yesterday. No, he’s not close to perfect and he’s not going to kumbaya the country by any means. But he’s sure as hell not going to tweet “DROOPY MITCH doesn’t have the cojones to do what is Right for this Great Country - CONVICT #45, NOW! Patriots of this Nation demand It!”
Because anything short of that is an improvement at this point. Surely this must be recognized.
That was perhaps Trump’s weakest quality as a leader, by the way. A complete slave to his base’s every whim. You know it.

I didn’t make a unity pledge.
I don’t remember you condoning them either…
How wonderful!! He’s going to do things treasonous to American interests, and demolish our constitutional rights, but at least he’s gonna smile and be nice, and make his staff smile and be nice while he does.
A kinder, gentler dictator…
Gee thanks Joe.

I suggested repeatedly that we change the Presidential seal to a face palm emoji for the duration of his Presidency in reference to his twitter nonsense.

Oh good. I was worried after the last 4 years that we wouldnt be able to have scandles such as tan suits and fancy mustard.
But thank God we are back to having sandals such as Biden saying “Dont be mean to your colleagues”.
HOW DARE HE!! IMPEACH!!!
You got him now.

Not under any illusion I have him now. I know full well his supporters could care less if his people are civil to all Americans.
