Biden should be on a megaphone denouncing Trump Elon calling them out on Fascism.
He should be scolding the SCOTUS and all the judges that delayed and prolonged his trials
He should be publicly pardoning
Liz Cheney Cassidy Hutchinson
We’ve had Judge Luttig on numerous times as you mentioned. He wrote an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on this. We agreed with him. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court disagreed with us and ruled differently. They said the onus is on Congress to declare him an insurrectionist. Not gonna happen.
Appreciate response. Im a big supporter and original MeidasMighty from before 250k followers on Twitter,a two spot Patreon holder and merch buyer. I will look further into that exact verbiage.My understanding is congress would have to state that to remove from ballot.Not give a pass on 14th-3.
Here are some of the relevant passages of the Court’s decision. I disagree w them but this was a 9-0 unanimous decision and if I told you there was a way around it right now I’d be lying. Full decision is here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-719_19m2.pdf
Thank you for your time and response. It seems there is some disagreement in regards to what the decision overall was in regards to. My understanding is the crew case was specific to being on the ballot and the ruling was in regards to same. If I’m reading your retort correctly it is your
Understanding the Supreme Court went further and change the self executing portion of the 14th to be sworn into an office. Therefore not needing a vote to remove disqualification. ??
Seems like a great video idea. Could help a lot.
PS-I know it’s not happening, but should be addressed.
I do not consider pardoning billionaire criminals to be the least bit decent. That’s a tRump move.
Maybe he should pardon Luigi while he’s at it?
I mean chaos and death are what the incoming administration is all about. Deal some of that back to them.
He is 82 and still wants to work for the people not a select few but all. May God bless him. He was the youngest senator and now the oldest President. Thank you for your service President Joe Biden
Thnaks for sharing. History will judge Biden and I believe it will judge him well not his humanity and his accomplishments. The history books about Trump comparing the dictator to the decent president may not even be allowed to be published in the United States.
America is the most propagandised nation on earth. #GenocideJoeBiden perhaps a hashtag not recognised in the US, but THAT'S the epithet he will carry historically to the rest of the world, forever.
Thank you, Margaret Sullivan for a fair minded article about Joe Biden. Joe Biden was a great president and he is a great man. More important the Biden/Harris economic policies are what this nation needs once Democrats take over congress in 26 and white house in 28. Unions, made in America, workers.
So true! I will miss his decency and respect for everyone. I hope that all President Biden did for Americans, even with so much pushback and attacks from Republicans and the media, will be properly acknowledged, especially as those opponents will happily try to take the credit.
People have absolutely asked him about this and the archivist has said that it needs to go back to congress because it’s past the deadline (1982?) has passed. So Congress and/or the courts need to extend or override the deadline. It’s beaurocracy at its finest.
He will be remembered as a inept do-nothing that allowed fascism to walk in the front door. Only Presidents worse in history are Wilson, Hoover, Johnson (the first) and Trump.
I have such mixed feelings. I think he did a lot of good and doesn't get enough credit for it, but his obstinacy and ego arguably have led to the disaster that is a second Trump term.
Interviews like this would have saved America from a monster. Mainstream media failed on every level. I live in a border city the main media was so bad trashing President Biden, that i turned it off and never went back. Thank God I found THE MIGHTY MIGHTS!
BBC is my world news.
We are seeing the end of an era of decency. Hard to imagine the world will ever see this level of integrity and character again at the worst time as we face the real challenge of climate change with no leadership.
I will miss him and trump will take credit for the success of the programs he got started . infrastructure, chips act and the economy are all good it they take a long time to see results especially the infrastructure which you know republicans will be at the openings of all of the roads & bridges
This uncritical reverence for Biden on the Left is as tiresome as Trump-worship on the Right.
He was disappointing in many ways, Garland chief among them. He left him in place & ignored the millions of us begging him to act. He's ended America. THAT is his legacy.
I agree. The party wasted 4 years acting as if he was going to be able to run again. The party could have been supporting and prepping Harris or another candidate or two. But no.... The arrogance and entitlement to the right to govern took precedence.
I wish he would go out with a call for the 14th since SCOTUS didn't and can't remove the disqualification that was put forth by the Colorado courts when they adjudicated him to be an insurrectionist. They removed his inability to be on the ballot, but that doesn't mean he can retake office.
Sorry. No. He made an implicit promise not to run for re-election and, even as it was clear he was cognitively impaired, he ran again and that led directly to Trump/Musk taking power. That alone makes him among the worst. Throw in Garland and the bungled exit from Afghanistan.
Being a decent human being does not count. He brought a butter knife to a street brawl and got slaughtered. Every single thing he did as president will be unwound. Effectively, he did nothing except preside over the end of the Republic.
I smell a wolf....and BS. Start w/economy(biggie),infrastructure, NATO relations, support for unions, student debt.....
Anyway - things to do..have a nice day.
This is insane. In order to promote the facade of a peaceful transfer of power, Biden hands us over to a violent dictatorship. There is nothing normal about any of this.
I don’t think apart from putting road blocks I. trumps way there is much he can achieve now as 50% of the country are still totally under Trumpski & Muskovich spell. They would just turn on Biden instead. They have to become disillusioned first I believe. See for themselves who Trump really is ..
Anything but capitulate. Years from now people are going to ask why allowing a collection of wealthy fascists were just HANDED the entire USA without a fight. I'd rather face the upheaval now than live through what Trump, musk and their associates have planned.
The president can't 'enforce' an amendment. Trump was never adjudicated to have violated that amendment. Yes, we all know he did, but there's not a court ruling saying he did. So it can't be 'enforced' and that's where we're at.
Read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social “Hiding in Plain Sight”. At first I thought she was a little over the line, but not now. Also read “The Party is Over” by Mike Lofgren, he worked in both Bush &Obama administrations. I read it during the 2nd Obama admin. He had a warning about trump then. Eye openers
Remember when Trump was outgoing and refused to cooperate with the transition, and Biden got off to a real slow start? He could have at the VERY least done the same to Trump on the way out. But he opened the doors wide and making sure Trump is off to the races on day 1.
I was disappointed that you did not raise his support for Zionism and the genocide in Gaza. Why didn't you? Was it a condition of getting the interview?
I feel like President Biden shouldn’t leave QUIETLY when he is handing our government over to a wannabe Dictator!
These are NOT NORMAL TIMES! A different approach is warranted! At a minimum if there are concerns the election was “rigged” and not “free and fair,” isn’t an INVESTIGATION warranted?
I’m definitely going to miss him, he might have been the quiet President but he brought us through the most difficult times, he brought our economy up not down! He’s RECORD WILL BE OF GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS YET PEOPLE STILL DONT GIVE HIM HIS DUE !
"Decency" is fine. Jusr don't expect it from the opposition or think you're taking the "higher road." That strategy and thinking won't work in today's atmosphere.
Not decent. He financed and resourced (with weapons of mass killing) a genocide and protects US hegemony. He’s no different than Clinton or Obama and the neoliberal Democratic Party.
Exactly giving bombs and aid Israel what a fucking joke. Isreal can afford their own wars, they decimated the cities, hospitals women children infrastructure
I dunno, these hosannas to Biden strike me as at least tone deaf. When it counted, he dithered. Trump was beatable this year, but not by the guy who was the Democratic candidate for all but the last 100 days of the campaign
The msm ignores President Biden's daily contributions to the free world's interests. He is not gone as much as the msm would prefer to concentrate on their guy, the felon.
He did what he was suppose to do - steady the ship. My issue with Joe - he never fully understood the danger we are facing. Add Garland to the mix and - BOOM, here we are.
The Guardian is as good place to look for their articles about Pete Hegseth’s crazy books that people aren’t covering nearly enough. Using military to get rid of liberals is kinda disqualifying…hopefully.
I personally will miss a man who led this country through sadness and joy, maintaining integrity and being a gentleman of the highest order. They don’t make many like him anymore. Love you, Joe, and will miss you excessively!! A real Christian statesman.
That was a great interview! There was no yelling, baiting of questions, and Pres. Biden was so graceful, honest but direct in his answers & comments. I will miss him a lot. Congrats MTN on the interview!👏😃💖
He did a great job after inheriting a disaster from Trump Republican Admin, just as Obama did w/the mess Bush Republicans handed him & to a lesser degree but still a fact, what Bill Clinton did with Bush Sr economy. It’s just so damn obvious Dems are superior to GOP but 1/2 of Americans unaware.
Why isn’t there more reporting from MT about election integrity? It is no secret that Russia interfered, Trump cheated, Musk paid for Trump to win… WTF??
Putin doesn’t need an army or bombs to invade the United States, he just needed a billionaire and an INSIDE TRAITOR!
For the people saying we are abandoned. We are alone and no hope. I'll be damned if we're alone. Millions of us are out there. People have to remember that we outnumber them. Yes people voted for trump and support him but some will change after it hurts them. Then there is more of us.
We have to get off our asses for once and make our presence known. Not with violence and harmful words but with protests and facts. We are Americans, whether you like it or not but this OUR home. Home for the poor the hungry and the down trodden. Home for people of different races,religions,genders
We are a home for all who wish to make life better. And we cannot let no one take our home away from us. If they refuse us of our rights that we are blessed with well then we fight. We go as far as we need to. We will let it be up to them how far we have to push it. I pray it don't come to that.
We know what must be done if they are going to try and destroy us. If they have a change of heart then good. Cause if we don't prevent this whats coming unless trump is bluffing everything which I doubt. Well then goodbye to a country you once thought your children might have a good life in.
It's a shame that he finally got to be Pres. after so many years of exp. and knowledge of how to best help the country, only to become President at the worst, most idiotic time of U.S. politics. Where conspiracy nuts and people who don't know how the country runs could never possibly appreciate it.
He was a very good president but he should take the opportunity to do what the scotus set up for Trump, ie. occupy the WH. Handing over the country to an oligarchy run by a traitorous nut bag is a bad idea. I would forgive him for trying to thwart maga any way he can.
Good interview.
I was struck by what a kind and decent person Biden is.
I was also struck by how unable and unequipped he is to deal with the level of devious evil corruption that overpowered him.
He gave better than he got. He did a lot for us.
Right-wing lawmakers and Trump lieutenant, Elon Musk raged against the original bill, forcing House Speaker Johnson to rewrite the bill, cutting several key provisions and tacking on THE TWO-YEAR DEBT CEILING EXTENSION TRUMP DEMANDED.
Will truly miss President Biden, he is such a great person, awesome Leader, and really cared about the People and Country. BTW, saw the Interview, it was great! 👍
I will never understand how anyone thinks it is going out with decency when he refuses to enshrine the Equal Rights Amendment, something he has claimed to always believe in, in the Constitution. He is the only one throughout history, except for Trump who told archivist not to add it, w/ this power.
I completely disagree with this person. Why should the people who care about equal rights always follow ridiculous bureaucratic, unnecessary steps they think are the right ones? Trump didn't by excluding the ERA in 2020 when it met all criteria to be activated. But we never hear 1 thing about that.
Covid19 at high national levels and all we hear is NOTHING.. we need leaders who recognize the impact on the economy and spend $ on accelerating #sarscov2 research. 🧵
The persistence of high COVID-19 levels in the United States, as indicated by wastewater data, poses significant economic challenges for 2025 and beyond. Without increased funding for COVID-19 scientific research, the nation may face substantial economic repercussions.Economic Impact Projections:

Shooting people for sport, ignoring any distinction between civilian and combatant ("no exceptions, no civilians, everyone's a terrorist"), calling in air strikes on unarmed families: this is what Israeli soldiers are doing in Gaza, in their own words. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Your interview with President Biden was exactly what was needed.
His decency shined a stark light on the contrast of what is possible and what is coming. Bravo @meidastouch.com
Ben, I didn’t realize there are so
Many snowflakes followed you. If they are afraid they can just quit the resistance. People seem to have so many criticism when they aren’t in Biden shoes and are being scared shitless because of Trump. These people aren’t decent than MAGA. 😂
I’m going to miss Joe. He has been such an effective public servant. We most likely will never see such a great man again. At least not in this lifetime.
What do you call a leader who look & sound a like a decent old man - grandpa of the nation type - but w/ a vast ego & who negotiates away a nation of kids & women to the Taliban & aids, abets, funds, fuels & persists with enabling a genocide?
That's the legacy of #JoeBiden
@sulliview.bsky.social
“Going out quietly” isn’t what we want or even need. Biden should be going scorched earth to add roadblocks for Trumpy so he doesn’t screw up this country as much as he wants to.
But maybe I’m asking too much for democracy’s sake 🤷
Biden is a good man. Has he made mistakes? Yes. Is he the leader of a huge corrupt crime family while also being a doddering old fool? RESOUNDING NO!! He’s accomplished more in four years than anyone else EVER.

Judge Lutig stated over and over on your network he was disqualified and only Congress can vote to remove that disqualification by 2/3 vote.
The Supreme Court DID NOT rule on his disqualification for office!!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR AMERICA.❤️🇺🇸💙
It was a big mistake and we all pay for it
These are NOT NORMAL TIMES! A different approach is warranted! At a minimum if there are concerns the election was “rigged” and not “free and fair,” isn’t an INVESTIGATION warranted?
Too sleepy with Ukraine 🇺🇦 but damn near perfect on domestic policy
Reason: he's been around the block, you know. He understands how our constitutional govt works
He knows for a fact even if silly You does not that It Can't Happen Here
(and I threw up.)
👍💙🤗
Great interview. You deserve the kudos!!
Keep up the great work.
For donald - "manys a slip 'twixt cup and lip"
Putin doesn’t need an army or bombs to invade the United States, he just needed a billionaire and an INSIDE TRAITOR!
And no one stops him! 😡😡😡
Let that sink in. He is America’s Paul Von Hindenburg, a very fine man…

Biden has lost almost all historic credibility.
Greed for power. Narcissism.
