Should Biden testify?

My opposition was to mandatory armed guards in schools.  A lot of public spaces, especially government places have armed guards and if Walmart decides to hire armed guards, well that is up to them.  The guard in Texas seems to have excellent credentials and is not some mope who is making a few bucks by packing iron.  In this case well done. 

There are many incidents of people with perfectly good firearm licenses for concealed carry shooting people they don't like or shooting innocent bystanders by accident.  I don't post them because they are anecdotal evidence.  There are all kinds of incidents for or against people carrying guns, and if you want to cherry pick just the ones that support your position that will not carry any weight in a debate, and rightly so.


Last Sunday one of the talking heads shows did a thing on misinformation.  In their campaigns the Russkies are not so much interested in presenting a point of view, but in presenting many points of view so that people are confused and don't know what to believe.  For instance there is no proof, not a scintilla, that the Ukraines tried to sabotage Trump's election or that there is some mysterious computer in Ukraine, or that Hunter Biden did anything wrong, but the Trumpists repeat them over and over so people raise up their hands and say this guy says this and that guy says that and I don't what to believe, and thereby a false story gains the credit of becoming maybe true.

I want to say at this point that Biden should not have given his son that job in Ukraine.  Lots of pols, and Trump is the king of offenders, give plums to their kids, but that doesn't make it right.  But still he did do a pretty good job and again there is no evidence he did anything wrong.

Should Biden testify then?  On the one hand sure, he has nothing to hide and maybe this will be a bargaining chip to get some of Trump's cohorts to testify.  On the other hand it won't be an honest interrogation, it will be machine gunner coatless Jim Jordan and his ilk not asking honest questions but spewing bile, and the Trumpists will certainly not reciprocate by allowing any Trump cohorts to testify. 

Well Happy New Years gentlemen.
