Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

No, age had nothing to do with it.

He appointed the most feckless REPUBLICAN Attorney General to investigate and prosecute the most corrupt administration in history, and the guy dithered and slow walked the case, giving MAGA a two year head start in running out the clock. Biden never once put any pressure on to get it done because they didn't want it to look political. How about just worrying about punishing them for their crimes? There's nothing political about that.

Then he let MAGA steal the 2024 election right in front of our faces, and did NOTHING about it. As they are all BRAGGING about how they're going to steal the election, Biden didn't order an investigation, have the FBI drag them in for questioning, or shine even a dim light on their obvious and open cheating.

Biden would have been well within his legal and Constitutional rights to step off the podium after his Inauguration, and immediately called for all the MAGA criminals to be rounded up and sent to Guantanamo before nightfall, for extensive innterogation. They had just attempted to overthrow the government a couple of weeks before, and their treason and corruption was well-documented. We still didn't even know about the stolen documents yet, or the False Elector's scheme.

Instead of keeping them in prison, where they could only confer with their defense lawyers, they let them run loose, where they conferred with the worst people in the world, and conspired to steal power back in the 2024 election.

It was all out in the open, and they basically narrated the entire scheme, and BIDEN didn't do a single thing about it. Didn't even acknowledge it, and neither did the rest of the DNC.

2020-2024 was a shameful, piss-poor performance for Biden and the DNC, and it's absolutely SILLY to try and defend it.
