We have some evidence for number 1 already. When he was campaigning, his messaging was progressive, and he actually referred to himself as a progressive plenty of times. Then, when Israel started the genocide, he became the hawkiest of hawks and claimed that he never said he was a progressive. The guy is a prime example of a career politician.

It's valid to dislike the devs (I disagree, I've found them nothing but courteous, and have read their posts with interest), but it's ridiculous to exclude their software from this list.
He rebuilt the economy? What the fuck are they on about? Inflation is crazy high, there'e layoffs like every other day, and 60% of the country still lives paycheck to paycheck. Does huffpo think we all have our heads up our asses?
Franz Ferdinand was not the cause of WWI. WWI was caused by numerous geopolitical, economic, and societal conditions that all drove us towards it. Can I tell you what those conditions were and how exactly they led to WWI? No, because I'm an uneducated idiot who knows next to nothing about history. But at least I'm not dumb enough to believe that killing one guy led to the killing of 40 million others.
What he did was right. Yes, much like how Hitler's death would've been sad for Eva Braun had she still been alive, Brian Thompson's death is sad for those who survive him, but the world is a brighter place for it.
Jury nullification occurs when a jury returns a Not Guilty verdict even though jurors believe beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant has broken the law. Because the Not Guilty verdict cannot be overturned, and because the jurors cannot be punished for their verdict, the law is said to be nullified in that particular case.
He did that? Oh never mind, if Biden did it, then it's ok if Trump does it, too. Please disregard my initial comment. It is in fact not immoral and undemocratic to pardon your own children.
What a terrible tragedy, these are incredibly dark times. How will we as a nation, nay, a species, recover? This is a really really bad thing, and I do not like it. What has this poor, poor CEO done to deserve this? God, it should've been me! It should've been me!
It totally and completely is. I mean, it's immoral and shitty, it's a rich white person getting off because of connections, but that's par for the course. It is expected. The annoying thing though, is the hypocrisy of a lot of the posters here. If Trump did something like this, they would be up in arms about how undemocratic and banana republic-like this all is. And this childish Harry Potter morality which determines how bad a thing is not by looking at the thing itself and its consequences but by looking at who's doing the thing really gets to me.
