What I appreciate most about President Biden is that his focus his entire presidency has been on the future. In this immediate gratification nation, that has sometimes been to his political detriment, but he is fixed even now on lifting the nation forward. (Thread) - ThreadSky

The resistance needed a name, and Joe Biden gave us one. From this point on we should be called “The Keepers of the Flame”

Almost in tears as I read your post.

It hurts that this man loves America and worked hard to make lives better and America safer and non-voters in 2024 election stabbed the rest of in the back & placed us in the hands of a dictator & pre-oligarchs: Muskrat, Bezos, Zuckerberg.

Muskrat, Bozo, and Suckerberg, please.

Sadly he was so focused on the future that he failed to stop the fascist coup that has installed Trump as the next president. He failed at his most primary duty.

bquintiliani.bsky.social•38 days ago

Great thread Jeff, you describe President Biden perfectly. He's a great president and a wonderful man, decent Americans will miss him but history will treat him very kindly.
💙Thank You Joe💙

Such a tragedy the media completely threw him under the bus in favor of an incompetent autocrat. They’ll soon miss being the free press instead of just the press for the next four years.

I wish I was confident about Felon of the United States leaving office in 4 years - if he is still alive in 2028.

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

The nation needed someone who would step away from the circus and do the work of righting the ship. But quiet competence does not drive ratings—so here we are.

ncmc1994.bsky.social•38 days ago

Wonderful thread.

doubleadub.bsky.social•38 days ago

Ok, cool. And forgot about THIS generation who wants immediately gratification. So that worked well....

itsmyparty.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree with every single word of this but oh, if he had only had a coms team that valued messaging as much as the message. 💙

jbamom.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is spot on, and I am just so sad...

fartybuttcheeks.bsky.social•37 days ago

Except for the part where he insisted on running again and fucked everyone

sabeet.bsky.social•38 days ago

Well said. Thank you Jeff.

manfromrio.bsky.social•36 days ago

He has simply succeeded

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

The infrastructure bill, the inflation reduction act, work to combat climate change…. None of this comes with immediate fixes or results. But if the next administration can’t tear it all down, the U.S. will be better for this in the long term.

coreyjames2025.bsky.social•38 days ago

Sorry, Jeff. Just because words are eloquent doesn't mean they make any goddamned sense. Wax poetic all you like, Biden is handing everything over to pure evil without even lifting a finger to fight it. As a result, a lot of people are going to die. Will they be better? GMAFB with this crap.

gretawi.bsky.social•37 days ago

Thank you Jeff. Wonderfully put, some hope in the importance of his words and a dire warning for all patriots to heed.

doubleadub.bsky.social•38 days ago

And sadly, that is where Biden FUCKED UP!!!! He should have authorized $10,000 checks to everyone earning less than $400k per year. That fixes shit. But he doesn't swing that way. It's a way we could have won. Now we have to fight these traitors..

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

Unfortunately, it’s an important caveat. Biden’s warning against the threat of oligarchy is apt, because oligarchy is anathema to progress for a country. Those clinging to massive wealth don’t benefit from creating more opportunity for others.

If you are making $41,000 per second, you need to pay taxes on the amount of money you could never spend in your lifetime. But of course it's Musk, so he probably thinks he'll live to be 500 years old ketamine addiction be damned.

nature-ali.bsky.social•37 days ago

Those with too much are all miserably unhappy. It is if they will never have enough to fill the empty voids where their hearts should be.
Stop listening to billionaire martyrs.
We need a French Revolution because I am tired of the rich thinking we should eat cake we don’t have.

Too little, too late, don’t want the t shirt.

alaskan-dreams.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good for u

aellice.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ironic for the guy who shafted Bernie Sanders to now warn about the threat of oligarchy.

He’s 10 years too late.

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

To the Musks and Thiels and Kochs of the world, building an opportunity economy and making the rich pay their share sounds like a threat. They see power as a zero-sum game, and they are at the top. Just one place to go from there.

dpbahm.bsky.social•37 days ago

Into the grave asap???

gemslawrence.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yeah. I think one of the only ways we can really fight back with any impact is spending boycotts. Money, power and their terrifying extremist goals for humanity are the only things they really care about.

Who the Gods would destroy, they first raise up.

groku.bsky.social•37 days ago

Hell, perhaps?

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

Biden is in the late years of his life—and he is using those years to build for those who will be here long after he is not. Rather than getting his and waving off the rest, he is serving the nation above himself, all the way to the end.

cjseahorsemom.bsky.social•37 days ago

I’m so grateful for Joe. History will look upon him as a wonderful President.

jeffroushwriting.bsky.social•38 days ago

As we look at the GOP and the incoming president working to lower the bar for themselves and lower the floor for everyone else, I am grateful for President Biden. Pay attention to what motivates the incoming president; we are and will be the poorer for what this nation voted in.

A beautiful and so very bittersweet thread, Jeff. 💙

miamisunbunny.bsky.social•38 days ago

I can’t believe Biden’s ratings supposedly leaving office is 35%! Then we get this Fuckface clown coming into office. Four more fucking years of his shit. 🤦🏻‍♀️
