Nice guys finish last but as far as I’m concerned Biden shares responsibility in trump 2.0. If he wasn’t so ego centric he could have stepped aside two years ago and let the Dems build. Instead he fucked us.

i quit thinking about that a long time ago, it gave me a headache.

surfbro26.bsky.social•197 days ago

Either Biden knows something we don’t or he just rolled over and gave up. Yes,I know he’s appointing judges which he should have been doing all along,but this just feels overall like complacency.

overitt24.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yes. Daily. Wtf?

bob181.bsky.social•198 days ago

Also, is it constitutional to use the US military for domestic purposes? Isn’t that the role of the National Guard for states to call on?

bob181.bsky.social•198 days ago

What is going on? Has Biden simply started to downsize his role in leading our country? There is so much he could do in his remaining time.

I really hope that the democrats, the DOJ and the DOD are on to something. For god sake, they can’t let fascism and authoritarian dictatorship arrive in the USA without doing anything to fight this!

I’ve been wondering why Biden didn’t do ALOT of things over the last 4 years.

I was so sure that when Trump got out of office the first time, that swift and immediate changes would be made to fill in the blanks that the founders thought we’d never need.

Instead - nothing.

This. They had four years to repair and reinforce the guardrails and bring perpetrators to justice. They didn't even bother to find out who disabled the panic buttons before January 6. It feels like complicity, and that's profoundly demoralizing. They could do something and they're not.

yourdadlikedit.bsky.social•198 days ago

THANK YOU! That’s what kept me going, every time he would violate the law or the Constitution while in office. “Well, at least when he gets out, we will put safeguards in place to keep this from happening again.”

We got fucking nothing. NOTHING.

militantthespian.bsky.social•198 days ago

Nothing. And then they LET HIM BACK. Captain America is dead. I feel like there's nothing left to believe in.

I want to be wrong, but I feel like Alice listening to the White Queen talking about believing six impossible things before breakfast.

yourdadlikedit.bsky.social•198 days ago

Darlin they not only let him back - they brought him back in DROVES.

We lost everything.

Was there something going on with Starlink, election malfeasance, etc?

Quite possibly.

Will the powers that be do anything about it?

Absofuckinglutely not.

militantthespian.bsky.social•198 days ago

I feel angry and embarrassed when I see these hopeful posts about how something must be happening behind the scenes, that we just have to wait for the big reveal. How is that different than the ones who thought TFG was going to show up on 1/20/24, declare himself president, and punish all the Dems?

yourdadlikedit.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yep. Nothing is happening behind the scenes, because nothing happened in front of the scenes, when we had the chance to do something about it.

The apathy about this is astounding.

But I mean hey … maybe I’m overreacting. It’s only our daughter’s futures we are talking about here.

militantthespian.bsky.social•198 days ago

More than astounding. Deeply sinister. I can't see another way to interpret it.

yourdadlikedit.bsky.social•198 days ago

Exactly.

militantthespian.bsky.social•198 days ago

Sorry. I meant 1/20/21.

yourdadlikedit.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yeah I got it. 😊

marchforwildlife.bsky.social•197 days ago

I hope people remember this when the Dems want to fundraise for the 2028 election, which will also be stolen. Why give them any $ if they are going to allow Russia to interfere in our elections. It's an act of war, do something Democrats!

oraclecrank.bsky.social•198 days ago

because elected democrats think their REAL constituents are historians 100 years from now who will be deciding whether to put a DISCIPLINED GOVERNANCE ⭐️ next to their names on the big book of presidents

jerry-scott-fl.bsky.social•198 days ago

Right here! 🙋‍♂️I'm with you and Mary Trump;

dez833.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yeah .. Biden has been infected with the "Merrit Garland" virus .. he's unable to act bravely at cusp .. he's just gonna fade to black and bow out .. with a whimper not a Bang 😢

danishgirlusa.bsky.social•197 days ago

All the time

bigwill1024.bsky.social•198 days ago

Unfortunately I expected it. Terrible

bathshebablue.bsky.social•198 days ago

Please enumerate actions he should take under a national emergency.

Call on the military? Stage a coup? Refuse to assist the transition?

You’re a complete joke.

left-of-left.bsky.social•198 days ago

Biden is a statesman. He lacks the will to wield power. The whole damn party needs to be primaried. We need fighters.

mobycone.bsky.social•198 days ago

Yes, check out my latest post...

lupitapepper.bsky.social•197 days ago

Exactly! Biden is still trying to be the upstanding politician. Meanwhile, he has been given supreme authority to do whatever he wants to do. I am tired of Democrats playing by outdated rules. Use what you have!!! There are no boundaries with RepubliKKkans.

dee-33.bsky.social•197 days ago

Yep say goodbye to our last election. I’m convinced it wasn’t free and fair. We’re not even going to take a look?

dee-33.bsky.social•197 days ago

Sure am. And why is Schumer slow walking confirmations. Quite curious but not so surprising

michaels3.bsky.social•198 days ago

Seems pretty content to sick back and watch it burn. Where is Dark Brandon? All we are getting is Sleepy Joe.

The Democratic Party needs a reboot.

blotterrag.bsky.social•198 days ago

Oxford don Mary Beard explains this all very well in SPQR, her history of Rome.

aletheia225.bsky.social•198 days ago

That's the trillion dollar question.

I guess we citizens are worth more dead, than alive, in their eyes.

🙄

cmjbze.bsky.social•198 days ago

Why does a Republican president have so much power but a Democratic president doesn't? Trump already seems to have more power than Biden, and he's not sworn in yet. Help me understand.

bonjoh.bsky.social•198 days ago

Maybe it's not so much power as the abuse of power ...

I Asked This Same Question.. 🦗🦗 Crickets... I Don't Understand

mdaltonp.bsky.social•198 days ago

Sadly, Biden showed us who he has always been. A politician. I know, he did a lot of good things for the country. However, what he has consistently refused to do is truly stand against the Maga agenda and the threat Trump poses. This applies to the DNC in general as well.
