    Joe, I get it, but the path forward was clear. Execute Trump, Roberts,Thomas, Barrett, and beer boi, and a handful of Senate and house GOP members for treason, as an executive act.

    Someone would take it to the supreme Court, in the remaining liberal justices, since they have a respect for the law, would make the pretty obvious ruling that according to previous rulings what Joe Biden did wouldn’t have been illegal at the time. But that moving forward no US president is allowed to violate the law as part of their official duties, at least concerning US citizens.

    Then Biden can appoint new judges to the supreme Court which will be approved by a now democratic majority house and Senate. That was the play. That was the only way he was going to save the f****** country and he didn’t have the balls to do it. So this is no country for old men.

    Shut the fuck up, Biden. When the Supreme Court made a president a king, you had the chance to remove ALL of these traitors as an official presidential action and you still chose the high road.

    So just enjoy your dementia in peace.

          And now you have an actual president saying they’re going to jail people based on political affiliation…

    His presidency will be remembered not for what he did, which was mostly good, but for what he did not do. His legacy will be viewed similarly to Hoover’s. Both were principled men who, when faced with a serious problem, could not find it in themselves to deal with it.

      Dear god, Hoover was a monster and a criminal. He is known in particular for how unprincipled he was. From casually violating human rights at a national scale to targeting civil rights leaders, to blackmail and terrorism, he established the playbook that modern totalitarians like Trump continue to abuse today.

      Using Hoover and Biden in the same breath, let alone calling a monster like Hoover “principled” is beyond the pale.

      Edit: Ignore this rant. I was thinking J Edgar Hoover, notorious leader of the BOI/FBI, not former president Herbert Hoover who was absolutely a forgettable milquetoast president like Biden. Though Biden didn’t murder and tear-gas our own unemployed veterans, so he does have that going for him.

They should have rounded up all the right wing terrorists and put them in gitmo they should have shut down Twitter, Facebook/meta, reddit and tiktok and tracked down and destroyed all the troll farms with drone strikes. They should have taken out putin. They should have done a million other things and they failed us.

    Holy fuck the ass cancer cannot take this guy from the earth quick enough.

    Maybe you should have worked harder. idiot. Shit got busted overnight so that work was, as we in the biz say, a shit job. Never forget the Democrats witheld a primary because this corpse was their guy. Never forget when this corpse was lugged out of the race Kamala did diddly squat to distance herself from the corpse’s policies. Hell she even adopted some of her opponent’s policies (no tax on tips anyone?). Don’t ever forget how bernie and aoc lied as well telling us this corpse was cognizant to make a ceasfire, when no talks lf that were happening at all. What about the new reports of the biden administration down playing the east palestine ohio train chemical crash? That happened like soon after the rail strikes got crushed by none other than the corpse himself. Remember though he was the most pro union corpse the oval office has seen!

    FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING I SAID, REMEMBER THE CRUMBS HE GAVE YOU. THOSE TASTY, TASTY CRUMBS.

    May he have a painful death.

They want violence and torture, because it’s Strong.

          Maybe so, but Biden had two opportunities.

          1. Get rid of Merrick Garland.

          2. Use the SCOTUS’s ruling of presidential immunity against Trump and them.

          He failed when it really mattered. Twice. No sympathy.

          It’s like saying, we played a great game against the 49ers but 1 minute left in the 4th quarter, we chose to do a field goal to tie the score instead of going for a Hail Mary and the kick missed.

            He also failed to step down when faced with compelling evidence that he would lose to Trump. If we had an honest primary, I don’t think we’d be in this mess. Instead, he held on to power up until the last minute and the Democratic constituency yet again got a candidate they didn’t want.

                  If you’re going to speak in broad strokes about the majority, it’s important to get right that the majority of votes went against Trump. He only has the support of the largest single minority bloc of voters.
