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.

        My piefed client voyager put this reply in a different place than the website browser so I feel the need to reply to this again.

        .ml thinks Ukrainians are nazis and are actively cheering for Russia’s genocide of them.

        This is clear if you spend any time on .ml’s instance.

        No you can look at the results of any vote in modern times and see that democrats are either the most popular party or the second most.

        That’s substantial evidence.

          That leftwing people tend to vote in the general for a Democrat even when they despise the candidate?
