Maybe he just needed a nudge in the right direction, like a Supreme Court ruling that presidents were invulnerable.
This is AI Slop.
From CNN or the summary in the post?
Both
Former President Biden's biggest mistake, allowing the MAGA fucknuts to maneuver unhindered toward the current fucked-up mess.
It wasn't him running for a second term when his cognitive decline had been bad enough to say he finally beat Medicare?
I see a lot of BoTh SiDeS sAmE doom posting but I’m pretty sure Biden didnt cause trump to be a pedophile.
Anyone with half a brain could see the project 2025 was coming. There was enough to declare an emergency and to have everyone put on trial for conspiracy to overthrow the government. You guys just want to act like falling over and playing dead is the only thing the "opposition" party can do.
You want to bring up some bullshit about how the laws prevented them from moving quickly or something? Throw those interfering in the investigation in jail and nullify their congressional voting rights.
But no, you're right, both sides are totally different, I'm just the crazy one for thinking we could have something better.
Biden still didn't cause anyone to decide a pedophile is the only option.
You can't change my mind on this.
Ever.
You are correct, but thats not what I'm arguing. So why didn't the biden administration act? Why didn't the DoJ do more with the mountains, hell Galaxy's worth of incriminating evidence they had? Why not jail every single Congress person who had obstructed? Why turn a blind eye to Jan 6?
Wake up. They arrested jan 6 insurrectionists under Biden
It's Trump who pardoned them once he got back into power.
Either way It's just sheer false equivalency to ever say any of this had anything to do with why voters choose a pedophile and why other potential voters stepped aside and let them. These assholes need to be held accountable for their actions to facilitate this to happen. So you can't blame Biden for that.
Why trump remained unjailed should be a separate discussion to the sheer callousness of voters voting for a pedophile
These are two entirely different discussions and merging then only disqualifies a deep problem that should be addressed on its own.
This is my problem with this being merged as one problem. It overlooks way too much of what happened here.
Funny how you don't even mention the Epstein files. You want red pedofiles or blue ones?
I don’t think he made people decide a pedophiles is the only option. I think he and the rest of the establishment democrats failed to give the people who didn’t want the pedophile something to vote for. Yes, people had plenty of reasons to vote against trump, but they didn’t have many reasons to vote for Biden or Harris. The reality is that giving people a reason to vote for you is what actually gets them out to the polls
Not voting someone isn’t a reason to vote for à fucking pedo. Never a good enough reason to vote à pedo. This is a shit argument by shit people for shit people.
Fuck you Joe, you slow walked us into this by not prosecuting Trump in the name of "bipartisanship!" If you had done your job we might not be in this mess. Democrats are weak and feckless.
I guess he forgot his FIFTY YEARS in politics and has NOW decided things have gone too far.
No, Joe, we can't come back from 50 years of people like you and worse, you HACK
Yeah, this. A half century of playing power games at the expense of the people. Not just him, but all the dems as they’ve slid further right. Too many of them content to play power games at the expense of the country, letting us argue over pronouns, bathrooms, and crosswalks while they quietly take a knee and kiss the ring for their corporate benefactors. Utter failure to shore up protections against trump even after it was painfully obvious that people like him were going to get elected.
Yeah, Joe did do some decent things, same as Obama, but both of them were the failed barriers that allowed the Right to be the fascists they are now, particularly by letting McConnel and the republicans to prevent nominations to the Supreme Court, essentially capturing the judicial branch and taking trump’s leash off.
Woah now, he just recognizes blacks as thugs and young people as a useful economic battery for the wealthy and actively put rules and laws into place to help fill prisons and debt with his select groups.
That was all in good clean capitalism, this is unholy capitalism, cause what if he isn't well liked and the US doesnt make more money for his friends anymore?
His previous stuff just affected other people! What if he has to experience it personally?! Havent you thought of him?
He should shut the fuck up. That fucking hump is responsible for this.
When he took over, he immediately launched a Covid Vaccine program and an Economic Stimulus program that were both far more successful than predicted. For that, he could have landed in the top 10-15 of presidents.
But he had to do a decent job for the rest of his presidency, which mainly included dealing with MAGA as the National Security Threat they are. He had just seen Trump launch an Insurrection. That would have been enough for him to step off the podium after being sworn in, and say "Round them ALL up, and ship them to Guantanamo for interrogation. We'll sort them out there."
If he'd done that, we would have found out about the False Electors Plot, AND his Stolen Classified Documents Operation. That's THREE separate cases of sedition and treason, and more than enough for him to get the noose.
Rounding them up would have suppressed the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and allowed the Dems to better control the messaging going into the 2024 election.
Instead, Biden basically checked out of the job after announcing his Covid and Stimulus programs, and stupidly appointed the most feckless Republican to be his AG, perhaps the STUPIDEST Democratic Presidential decision in modern history, who dithered and slow-walked Trump's treason cases as long as he could, giving him a two year head start to run out the clock, which he did, successfully.
In addition, he ignored the many warnings, many coming from the mouths of the criminals themselves, that they intended to rig the election and steal the presidency, and Biden allowed them to do it in front of the entire world, without any interference at all. And when they did, he went along with the ridiculous concept that Trump won the election "fair & square."
The American voters fired MAGA decisively, and expected the new Democratic administration to clean up the mess. Instead of getting justice for America, they tried to make friends with feral animals, and got eaten alive. For his weakness and cowardice, allowing MAGA to rise again, Biden's legacy is in the toilet, and will he will be buried in the bottom 10 of all presidents.
Biden betrayed us, and he's lucky that he won't be joining the MAGAs against the wall with the rest of them. He deserves the firing squad as much as any of them.
Usually when I read your replies, I'm in agreement with some of it and disagreement with some. This is the first time in recent memory I agree 100%, and will add:
He did what he was paid to do.
