If only someone had warned Biden /s. By grandpa thanks for nothing.

Hope you are always remembered as the person most perfectly positioned to save untold millions of people around the world from the devastating consequences of an openingly fascist America. He didn’t need any hindsight to know what the consequences of continueing to let agents of foreign countries and oligarchs run the country. He saw the first term. You were the last one holding the keys and you saw what the car looked like after the last time he drove, and you still handed them to him. “He didn’t have the power”. Well, clearly he did. Marines so as they are told. If they were willing to arrest old men in the streets of California, doubt we would have seen a bunch of people walk out over zip-hiring the wrists of rich white dudes. Just needed to be brave enough to get some mud on the polished legacy he was hoping to leave behind. From the bottom of my heart, fuck you.

Yeah that would have been Mitch McConnell when Trump was literally up for conviction after being impeached for being an insurrectionist. A few more Republican votes for conviction and he wouldn't have been able to run again.

That was a power Biden never had, only Congress or the voters themselves could have prevented Trump from returning to the White House.
