    As soon as they passed down their ruling on presidential immunity Biden should’ve had them thrown in a black site. But he was either too idealistic, incompetent, or cowardly to take any action to combat the rising fascism. Thx for the economy Joe I guess, but the country needed you to be much more and you failed us all.

      Biden was just doing his part for the DNC and the Dem leadership and their big money donors.

      One of their many dirty little secrets is that they want free rein for autocracy and corruption just as much as the Republicans do, but since there isn’t a good way to frame it in a leftist narrative, they have to wait for the Republicans to pursue it, so that then they can just not quite manage to stop them. Which they do, every time.

      That’s been on full display under Trump, since not managing to stop him is pretty much a full time job. But they have lots of experience with it now and are so good at it that if necessary they can even, like they did in the last budget battle, have a few members cross the aisle and vote with the Republicsns to ensure passage, and still maintain the illusion that they really wanted to stop them, but just couldn’t quite manage it.

      And watch for that in this coming shutdown showdown. They will fold, guaranteed. They always do, because they never really intend to do anything else.

      Republicans and Democrats have had a gentleman’s agreement about corruption for a long time and he was determined to uphold his end of it.
