    Maybe if he was corrupt you could have directed your employee, Merrick Garland, to lift a fucking finger, rather than to play dead for 4 years. Except you didn’t, did you? You are the worst democrat failure in our lifetimes in terms of meeting the moment except maybe Schumer and Jefferies, and bitter too little too lates are all we get to show for it.

    Never forget SCOTUS handed him the power to do anything he wanted in the course of being president. Instead he sat around obsessed over continuing his campaign despite internal polling showing him losing to Trump by Reagan-like numbers.

    There is no version of events based in reality that makes this old fuck not a massive narcissistic loser, 2/3 of what he’s whining about. He’s not worse, but he damn sure ain’t the guy we should have entrusted to fix the problem.

      Biden is a piece of shit, but remember everyone in his administration was aware his brain was mush and covered for it so they could make unsupervised decisions, most likely for bribes or personal agendas.

      Everyone involved in White House administrations since Obama left office need blackballed for life, and it’s not even like they were great. They should be the furtherest right the Dem party goes at best.

        I see no evidence of bribes, but you ar3 obviously right about personal agendas. These agendas are why the appointees recommended by Bernie like Lisa Khan were able to inact substantial beneficial changes and Biden was able to take credit for it, but unsurprisingly often did not. Both because mushy brain and never having known that’s what his people were doing. His attention was available though, as evidenced by his behavior around Israel and Gaza, it just wasn’t a good thing to have when you’re trying to achieve positive change.

        You are incorrect about barring them all. Many were very good nominees. I agree about Blinken and Garland though, fuck them both.

      Biden was rooted in ethics.

      Criminal investigations take time.

      This should not need repeating so often.

        No. This was a fucking emergency and he sat on his ass through most of it.

        You don’t wait for decorum when shit is on fire and needs to be put out.

        “criminal investigations take time” is such a bullshit cop out.

        How long has Luigi Mangione been in jail? And there is less evidence for Luigi than Trump. We have hours of detailed video of Jan 6th.

          No President wants to set precedent of criminal investigation of another President, so we get the “time to heal the rift in America” bullshit.

        What a complete load of BS. Biden is literally a war criminal.

        Ethics like greenlighting genocide.

        What criminal investigations? None.

        Maybe the reason it’s not sticking is because it’s obvious cope.

        You have a point, ethics yes, but not doing what needed to be done (notice how the DOJ is being told to go find crimes for 47s hit list). 45 spent his entire time fumbling for the levers of power and only managed to break them. Biden comes in and expects things to be right where Obama left them and runs a by the book administration from 40 years ago, like Carter, but he got to do a little nepotism on the way out. Now 47 is back and the shit he broke was not fixed, corrpution, nepotism and cronyism are sorta the defaults now and the were all suffering for it.

        Shit like this, in a better world is something a country has to deal with once or twice a century… Millenials alone are dealing with round 3…

        And the president isn’t supposed to be telling the justice department who to target.

        That leads to weaponizing the justice department against political rivals.

      My favorite is saying we still need a Republican party in a speech. That cemented for me nothing would change under him to help and that we were significantly fucked.
