b'Team Biden has made his incoming style of presidency very clear: Keep the peace. Or in his aides\\u2019 words, \\u201cmove the country forward.\\u201d Unfortunately, moving forward doesn\\u2019t include prosecuting Trump and his band of thieves, er, White House staffers and campaign confidants. In this bonus episode of The New Abnormal, which happened LIVE on Zoom, The Daily Beast\\u2019s DC Bureau Chief Jackie Kucinich confirms this to co-hosts Rick WIlson and Molly Jong-Fast: \\u201cWhere we\\u2019re at in the process, it doesn\\u2019t seem like that\\u2019s going to happen.\\u201d BUT. And this is a big BUT: Biden\\u2019s Attorney General still could go after Trump, points out Beast Trumpworld Reporter Asawin \\u201cSwin\\u201d Suebsaeng (\\u201cIt will be interesting to see how that particular pick moves forward.\\u201d) Speaking of \\u201cwhat ifs,\\u201d the quad also muse about what the political world will look like without Trump as president, and sorry to say, not too much different. \\u201cOne of the worst liberal fantasies is that he\\u2019s going to go to Mar-a-Lago and not come back,\\u201d Molly says, but that ain\\u2019t gonna happen. \\u201cBiden will be president January 20. But the Trump presidency as it is a state of mind is going to continue. Anyone who thinks the Republican party is going to go back to how they were before Trump is living in a fantasy land,\\u201d says Jackie. Rick and Swin have even more sinister predictions: \\u201cI don\\u2019t want to jump the gun here, but we should see if he tries to run some shadow foreign relations [scheme] from Mar-a-Lago or the Trump organization,\\u201d says Swin. Don\\u2019t forget the rallies, either! According to Rick, they\\u2019ll continue, but \\u201cthey\\u2019ll be ticketed. He\\u2019ll use them as a revenue source.\\u201d Then! Jackie talks about the chances of Biden\\u2019s ole buddy Mitch McConnell coming around and the group makes their pick for which MAGA bot will make the best bachelor or bachelorette. Plus! Will Democrats have to drag GSA official Emily Murphy out of her post? And what the hell is happening in Georgia!?
