Lists 16 Things Biden can do before he leaves office. Biden will do none of them, except maybe pardon Trump. His only interest is in self preservation, because he knows what Trump will do on Jan 21st.

Here are Biden's accomplishments and they all have benefit for Wall Street
The American Rescue Plan, the Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPSThe CHIPS and Science Act.
From Jan 20, 21 to Jan 3, 23 The Democrats control the Legislature and Executive.
The Senate was 50/50 and Kamala was the the tie breaker, The Republicans had filibuster power and the Democrats, without even trying, moved the threshhold for passing a bill to 60 (required to break a filibuster), Schumer assumed a filibuster on every bill, there is nothing in the parliamentary rules that say a bill has to have 60 votes before it is brought to the floor.
Senate rules need a 2/3rds vote for them to take effect,, but there is the nuclear option which Schumer, who will live in infamy among progressives,
Schumer would not invoke the nuclear option and Biden did not pressure him to invoke the option.
In the United States Senate, the nuclear option is a parliamentary procedure that allows the Senate to override a standing rule by a simple majority, avoiding the two-thirds supermajority normally required to invoke cloture on a measure amending the Standing Rules.
I don't know about you, but I smell the three C's., Cowardice, Complicity, Corruption, and I smell them again, unless Biden shows something he hasn' shown in his time in government and that is a back bone.
I sure hope this is happening and not just some wish

Thanks for the link. I hope so but have heard nothing of it, otherwise.
There's a thread on Medium about this. My takeaway is that even if they find evidence of interference in the election, nothing will change the outcome of Trump being 47. It would only be sanctions imposed on the country that interfered. If they find Musk ornTrump were involved, my guess is that would be up to the DOJ and I doubt anything would happen.
Absolutely correct. Recounting is a day late and a dollar short, by the time they would even start, Trump will be sworn into office., and of course he DOJ would not do anything. Not just Trump's DOJ, but his DOJ under Garland (for it is still Trump's DOJ, Biden had his chance to change it, but didn't.
It's not so much the recount anymore. It's Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that is still in play
"10. Bring up a bill in the Senate to offer Trump amnesty"
Here's a list of potential action that could be taken, including Section 3, with details.
It's all wishful thinking at this point. It doesn't look like Dems or Biden are taking any action

I do not understand what offering Trump amnesty achieves.
Could you explain please.
It seems to me that if the Democrats offered him amnesty, they are actually blessing him and his agenda.
And if there was the slightest chance that the Democrats bounced back, by offering him amnesty they would have discredited themselves in the sight of the public and the party, not to mention the public.
In essence in 1938 when Hindenburg offered Hitler Chancellorship of Germany he was in essence giving him amnesty for the Munich Putsch.
There is more than one similarity between Hitler and Trump, both were convicted felons., and both are traitors.
The bottom line, is there's no way he will get 60% of the vote, so he won't be eligible to take office. If Dems don't push on this now, we lose the opportunity. Right now, it feels like they've forgotten about this last piece of power that they have.
OK I understand now. I think. Kind of convoluted, if Congress fails to give Trump amnesty he is ineligible to take office.
Which to me, is the situation as it stands now. I fail to understand how Congress offering but failing to give him amnesty changes the situation.
That's the point. My understanding is currently he has the insurrection impeachment hanging over his head, which prevents him from being president, per Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. By Dems forcing a vote to remove this ineligibility; hence, giving him amnesty, it brings this back into focus. He would have to get 60% in both houses to have it removed, something the GOP doesn't have the numbers for.
The fly in the ointment is the 60% in both houses. I know of no rule in the House which requires a 60%, and in the senate 60 votes are needed to override a filibuster, and until Jan 3rd, the Democrats control the Senate, they have 47 Dems and 4 Independents which caucus with the Democrats.
There is no way that they can get 60 votes in the senate.
Exactly why they need highlight this. Without the 60%, he's not eligible.
