Can Biden and Trump cut the deal of the century?

According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the four prosecutions bedeviling former President Donald Trump are deemed illegitimate by a plurality of the country. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives is heading towards an impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden — which will likely be deemed equally suspect by a separate plurality of the nation.

Trump’s and Biden’s legal challenges, symptoms of the country’s broader struggle with extreme partisanship, are mirror images in that each candidate’s supporters embrace the rule of law in one case while railing against its misuse in the other. It all has the feel of a holy war, where compromise is impossible, and normalcy is subordinated to each opposing side’s perceived truth and higher purpose.

NO and NO

I’m still in favor of buying Greenland.

But I see no reason for 10% for the Big Guy.

It’s time for the deal of the century. Trump and Biden could mutually agree to drop from the race subject to these conditions:

-Their legal jeopardy ends. The New York, Georgia, Florida, and Washington D.C. prosecutions, and the House inquiry, are all dropped.

-All major Republican and Democratic presidential candidates sign a pledge to pardon Trump, Biden — and their family members — if elected president.

What kind of drug addled fantasy is this?

The commies are in full blown panic.

[Signalman]

No deal. Biden IS corrupt, and there’s plenty of evidence to prove it.

Trump is only guilty of threatening to destroy the criminal Deep State and securing the border.

NO DEAL!

Who is the fool who wrote this? Has he ever studied history? Wars could be avoided if only the people in charge would agree....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

And Hell NO.

It’s the hill so prolly a lot more than just drugs...

But if this were to go down then they have just admitted the political nature of the entire shitshow.

Not gonna happen, but I’d go for that deal in a heartbeat

From the article:

"It all has the feel of a holy war, where compromise is impossible"

Compromise IS impossible with these people!

[ridesthemiles]

NO THANKS

NOT giving a PASS to the BIDEN CORRUPTION CLAN

[NorthMountain]

Pardon Biden, the criminal traitor?

FAILURE to investigate, prosecute, and imprison Hillary Clinton was a contributing factor to the current fiasco. That failure taught the democrats that they can get away with anything.

The commies are in full blown panic.

They might know something that we don't. Like, for example, a method developed by Elon Musk or some other genius to detect electronic vote fraud.

I get kind of amused at people around here saying, "Why isn't anything being done about it?" Well, if you were doing something about it, you sure as hell wouldn't be talking about it before it's locked in on Election Day.

Who knows? But, yes, they do seem a bit ... agitated.

[enumerated]

Hell no. The charges against Trump are bogus - the Bidens need to go to prison

[Lurker]

No.

The sHill has spoken

[Yo-Yo]

They've impeached Trump twice. They've indicted Trump four times.

I say

[bigbob]

This deal will happen when skittle-pooping unicorns fly out of my butt!

Conventional wisdom is that the way out of this mess lies squarely with Trump. In another universe, and possessed of different DNA, he might take the high ground and leave the race, letting his legal chips fall where they may and taking his chances with a future president who could see wisdom in a blanket pardon to avoid a national schism.

In what universe would this stupid supposition happen? The Buffoon Nebula.
