Well just dig it back up to in 2029 and restore it back to what it was. Anything Trump does is reversible.

So with this logic, Afghanistan was Trump’s war and not Biden.

Every time Trump or a lackey begins a sentence with "Everybody in American believes..." you can rest assured that it's quite the opposite. But pretty sure Everybody in American believes that this President will be impeached again and many in administration will be going to prison post-2026/8

It will take likely until close to the end of his term to refit this for AF1 standard, so US will spend $millions on the upgrades for it to be used for only a few months and then given over to Trump as a gift. Our country is so stupid to allow this criminal into power again.

I just hope all these new Trump appointees realize they are only there for the next 3.5 years max. Full term lengths are a thing of the past and they should all expect to be shitcanned on Jan 20 2029 in like manner.

Do you all think garnishing wages of defaulted borrowers started with Trump? I’m no fan of Trump but isn’t this just going back to normal operating procedure from before Pandemic?

you have a point. I guess when the war crimes tribunals are set up after coming war?

So these people will be ok when the next Democratic administration snatches up Pam Bondi, Donald Trump, Kash Patel, and the whole lot and ships them off to some hellhole with no due process for the rest of their lives and there's nothing they can do about it? They're ok with that...?

I suspect the sheer threat of shareholder lawsuits will outweigh any thought of “absorbing” the tariff hits at the request of Trump. Request denied!

Yeah... but, isn't it interesting that MoM inflation rate started to rise on Election Day when Trump's inflationary plans came into focus?

These poll figures are from BEFORE Trump and the Doge-bags started their rampage. I guarantee they will have fallen heavily next go 'round.

I love your show very much as well, but the Sharpie noises are pretty loud. Can’t they mask out that frequency on the sound board?

If they would stop kissing Trump’s rear-end and slapping themselves on the back for the excellent work they’ve done over the last…checks notes, 12 hours… maybe they can you know actual work the problem? Amateur hour.

Of all eligible voters, 75% voted for somebody other than Trump or not at all. I would hardly call 25% a mandate. The truly heinous part is 100 million eligible voters did not vote at all. More than either candidates’ total votes.

They name it. Air Canada. It’s right there in the article. But it matters not. This happens on ALL the airlines.

Let’s refocus—Ukraine’s survival isn’t just a Biden issue; it’s a global fight for democracy. History will thank him. When all else fails, all this whataboutism is just throwing spaghetti at the wall and calling it strategy. Spoiler: It’s Biden who’s been holding the fork. END

On Gaza, Biden supports Israel’s right to defense but also pushed for humanitarian aid and strike pauses. Balancing ally support with minimizing civilian harm is delicate. Oversimplifying it as “genocide” ignores the nuance of his diplomatic approach. 16/x

Biden’s “bully pulpit” isn’t loud, but it’s effective. He’s spoken on SCOTUS, democracy, abortion, and crises while passing historic legislation. Being measured and deliberate isn’t weakness—it’s governing responsibly in hyper-partisan times. 15/x

Biden addressed price gouging via the Inflation Reduction Act, oil company pressure, and public accountability. The root cause is corporate greed, not Biden’s inaction. He’s working within limits to expose and reduce profiteering. 14/x

Garland followed DOJ policy on indictments close to elections. Jack Smith dismissed cases strategically, knowing DOJ rules tied his hands. At least a full report will be published, ensuring transparency—not the rug-sweeping Trump would’ve done. 13/x

The Disinfo Board faced partisan attacks, but Biden’s DHS continues combating disinformation through other initiatives. Jankowicz is still under attack, but systemic polarization—not Biden—is why the board was weaponized and shut down. 12/x

DeJoy weakened USPS, but Biden replaced most USPS Board members to enable reform. His administration has pushed for sustainable USPS funding and oversight. While not immediate, systemic fixes take time, and Biden has set the wheels in motion. 11/x

Abortion rights weren’t Biden’s failure—Dobbs was decades of GOP work. He’s fought for abortion access through executive orders, legal protections, and advocacy. In a hostile legal environment, he’s using every tool available to protect rights. 10/x

Biden appointed more judges in two years than Trump did, including diverse, progressive ones. He called for SCOTUS reforms and continues appointing judges to rebalance the judiciary after Trump’s conservative court-packing spree. 9/x

Schumer lacked leverage over Manchin/Sinema, but Biden still delivered: CHIPS Act, PACT Act, infrastructure, and gun reform. In a divided Senate, strong-arming isn’t the solution—coalition-building is, and Biden got real results. 8/x

Biden fought for voting rights but faced GOP filibusters. He signed executive orders to improve access and backed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Blaming him ignores entrenched GOP voter suppression tactics and a broken Senate process. 7/x

Build Back Better wasn’t “torpedoed” by Biden—it was blocked by Sinema and Manchin, who catered to special interests. Biden salvaged key parts, like the Inflation Reduction Act, securing climate, healthcare, and tax reforms despite GOP obstruction. 6/x

Chamberlain? Really? Biden rallied NATO, armed Ukraine, and imposed historic sanctions on Russia. Putin’s nuclear bluff may seem weak in hindsight, but escalation risks are real. Even Zelensky credits Biden’s decisive role in Ukraine’s survival. 5/x

The Budapest Memorandum isn’t a NATO defense pact. It’s a diplomatic agreement, not a treaty. Biden’s response—billions in aid, arms, and NATO unity—has upheld the spirit of the memorandum more than any prior administration. 4/x

Claiming 2014 was “easy” is naïve. Obama-Biden imposed sanctions and armed Ukraine post-Crimea. Direct U.S. intervention wasn’t feasible and wouldn’t have stopped Russia’s long-term aggression. Supporting Ukraine in 2022 is complex, and Biden has led on it. 3/x

Voter suppression is a decades-long GOP tactic, not a Biden creation. His admin expanded access via executive orders and DOJ challenges. State-level GOP obstruction, not Biden’s effort, is the real culprit behind attacks on voter rights. 2/x

Trump's lies didn’t stick because of Biden’s silence—they thrived in a media landscape that rewards outrage. Biden pushed facts, but combating disinformation in a polarized nation isn’t a solo act. It requires public buy-in and a media willing to amplify truth. 1/x

Biden’s approach has flaws—hesitancy, reactive decisions, and a frustrating reliance on ‘incrementalism.’ But calling him the sole reason Trump could return or equating him to Chamberlain? That’s more hyperbolic than a cable news panel.

5. Comparisons to Gulf War: Different enemy, different geography, and a less cooperative world. Pushing Putin out of Ukraine isn’t as simple as evicting Saddam from Kuwait.

4. The Ride Offer: Suggesting Zelensky flee might’ve been tone-deaf, but Biden’s actual policy? $75B in aid and rallying NATO. If that’s ‘Neville Chamberlain,’ we’re reading different history books.
