The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.
These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?”
The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.
There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed at the White House.
Fucker tried to overthrow the government. If you can’t convict someone for that and prevent him from running again in 4 years that’s a serious failure to your duties as president. If the court system can’t handle it then maybe he should have used his presidential immunity the fucking supreme court ruled to get rid of the threat.
Edit: also if biden wouldn’t have hopped on taking momentum away from Bernie in the primaries, it probably would have been Trump vs Bernie. And I believe Bernie would have won 2 terms. I think biden did decent as president, but allowing an insurrectionist to run again was a huge error.
Presidents don’t have prosecutorial power. Are you fucking stupid?
You’re right, thats the DOJ. Now who appoints the head of the DOJ? That’s right, it’s the fucking president. So it was entirely in his power to appoint someone that would do his fucking job.
But sure, I guess I’m just stupid.
There is NO excuse for allowing Trump and his henchmen to roam free after Biden’s inauguration. He would have been well within his presidential, constitutional, and legal duties to round them all up and detain them in Guantanamo for extensive interrogation.
Trump had attempted a violent Insurrection only a couple of weeks before. What kind of a NEW national leader takes over, and doesn’t do ANYTHING about a serious, active National Security Threat running actively destroying their nation?
Easily the worst case of negligence and incompetence by a Democratic president since WWII.
