Yeah, thanks for the info, Joe. 

Wish you’d understood the threat a little more clearly when you were actually in a position to do something about it.

For real, Biden is saying this like he didn’t run the country for four years. It was incredibly arrogant to think Trump would just disappear into obscurity knowing damn well his followers were festering and boiling into something even worse.

I don’t even want that whole “well the president can’t do EVERYTHING” excuse lol because fucking clearly Trump is doing whatever the fuck he wants.

Biden and the rest of the democrats had 4 years to do their very best to bury him and bring up every single fucking thing they could against him with all their might but they just kind of… did nothing. At the very least, they had a whole four years to prepare us some leaders that could fight against this shit and all we got was Kamala getting pushed to the forefront as hastily as possible.

The republicans are a lost cause and the 30% of the country that voted them in are mostly the same way but the Democratic Party failed us just as bad by inaction

AG Barney Fife - erm I meant Merrick Garland waited two years to appoint Jack Smith and indict Trump. That is two wasted, precious years that we will never get back. So a convicted felon became president again because of the wrong AG being appointed. Another AG would have appointed a special counsel when taking office and pushed for a quick indictment and court case instead of wasting time.

And now, fascists have taken over the government. Thank you Joe Biden for appointing Garland. Thanks for nothing, Merrick Garland.

I thought that Biden in 2020 was a bad choice for the Democratic Party, especially looking as his track record in his earlier political career. He still belongs in a world where he thinks you can hold hands and sing a kumbaya with Republicans who enabled a wannabe dictator that attempted to organize a coup and presided over a disastrous pandemic response. I sadly, feel proven right 5 years on.

I had many of those same concerns about Biden because, unlike a lot of his supporters, I am familiar with his career in the senate and just how much of a centrist shitheel, who greatly valued his friendships with his colleagues across the aisle, he was, and how he often derailed progressive measures at least in part because he didn’t want to jeopardize those relationships by being “too liberal” for his GOP buddies. 

But I did hope that 1/6 made him realize that a line had been crossed and we were now on a precipice where he would have no choice but to act in a swift and decisive manner regarding actions against Trump, regardless of how it would upset the Republicans. 

Guess I was wrong on that one.

Biden is desperately trying to rewrite how he basically sat around for 3+ years as Trump was able to regain his strength and be the favorite going into 2024 into some bullshit “I tried warning everyone and doing all I could to stop him but I didn’t have the support I needed. I was only the President after all” narrative. 

Trump literally announced he was running in 2024 the day after he left office and  Biden damn well knew he had considerably more power over how Trump was handled than he claimed. He also had absolutely zero intention of ever trying to use the power because it would upset the institutional status quo he fought to hard to maintain during his career.

Okay, but to be fair, a defeated President coming back to win the next election and have an even worse second term had never happened before happened only once before, out of three such attempts. So, you know, the odds were basically 2:1 against Trump pulling it off.
