Biden signed checks from congress to Israel for more weapons which killed civilians in a genocide...
Biden shouldn't be so quick to flaunt the high ground here.. he did nothing a president should do to prevent a dictatorship, either domestic and foreign
Biden's comment shows a rare moment of candid reflection. Democrats often play by a different set of rules, but moments like this highlight the need to adapt to the strategy-heavy, optics-driven game Republicans excel at. Can they balance authenticity with savvy?
Important to add that he was obviously kidding, and that there is a very good reason he didn't sign the checks. Because it is a corrupt practice meant to mislead people about the real world impacts of political decisions. In a very intentional way.
That is very true. My wife pointed that out. People would say Trump sent me money. Biden/Harris never sold their achievements. Every infrastructure project and new factory should have had a billboard saying:”Brought to you by the Biden/Harris Administration.
Biden may think he was joking, but he shouldn’t have been. Not putting his name on the checks the American rescue plan sent out was stupid. His administration never understood how to take credit for his accomplishments.
Biden should have stuck with his tacit promise to serve one term. He could have concentrated 100% on governing without worrying about reelection and he would probably be riding off into the sunset as a hero right now. Alas, his legacy is Trump.
Unfortunately, Biden seems to live in the past where there was statesmanship and civility and shame for acts that are shame worthy. These rules no longer apply.
I mean, yes, that might help on the margins, but the real mistake was "Don't have inflation happen on your watch."
As if any President can affect that at all other than negatively, and Biden did all the right things he could, and the Fed did all the right things it could, to get it under control.
We're in 'it's funny because it's true' territory here. All the last four years have shown is that America has no time for people who quietly work to make things better, but it will sell its soul to people who do nothing but fill their own pockets but will at least SHOUT that things are better.
This is just sad. The leader of a political party with no clue how to do politics in today's environment. No doubt a few more consultants will enrich themselves from the DNC by pitching new failing strategies.
Oh and don’t forget the Rico ring interview Sunday and his fascination with groceries…the man with the nuclear codes has never used the word before - what could go wrong?!?
Latinos in S Texas were TOLD that he signed the checks AND that the $ came from his pocket. They believed it and no way would they believe differently when told the truth.
Unfortunately, it still wouldn’t have made a difference. Because you and I, dear reader, didn’t need to have some sharpie scribble from Biden to know what he’s done for us.
The people that had to have Trump’s signature are the ones buying every friggin’ tchotchke Trump puts out instead of eggs. 😒
You should put him in jail! NOW while you can … you @joebiden have IMMUNITY for gutless president! JUST DO IT! Play the same way the orange menace DOES✋🏻🤬🤚🏻
Biden: massive job growth, strongest economy on earth, Ukraine defended, NATO united, Damascus liberated, inflation alleviated, sane governance bolstered from clean energy and climate policies to education to environment, small business support, but oh his debate performance… he’s old… WGAF?
He had every right to run for a second term because of his accomplishments, if people hadn't been listening to fake polls and GOP propaganda. Instead of explaining why he had a bad debate, they threw him under the bus, including Hollywood celebrities. The public was living in an alternate reality.
You’re not wrong. We need to learn how to have discussions without becoming aggressive and counter point with facts. People don’t care about labels or conclusions they want to make their own. So give them facts let them figure out they are fascist
He was trying to save us from Trump, an unquantifiable danger to democracy. There was no precedent for what stupid, willfully uninformed & apathetic Americans did. I don’t fault Joe for that.
Yeah he should have. Garland if I remember right was trying to be bipartisan, again maybe not a great choice but trying to make bridges not burn them. Like I said he hasn’t been perfect.
I just mean all the good he has done, which is a lot, will now be claimed by felon elect, and that’s a shame
He said he was only running for one term when he ran in 2020, he should have kept that promise. Not sure if it would have made a difference with the GOP propaganda machine though
If he would have allowed a nominating process, we might have still have ended up with Harris, but she might have had more time to get her message out. Unfortunately, this election was a referendum on Biden based on GOP propaganda.
I can’t remember did he explicitly say one term? I know he made the reference he was running to pass the torch but I can’t remember the wording. Though again I’m not sure it matters anymore. It’s done
Except he did, I remember getting a letter from ‘Biden’ saying he was sending the $1200 check.
I remember because they admonished Trump for it then copied him, I remember because he and Nancy said $600 was plenty, then Trump shamed them into double.
I hate Trump, but the Dems are just as bad. 🤷♂️
Holy crap—a Democrat who freaking *finally* gets it!! Think of how different things might be if they’d woken up and fought fire with fire these past 4 years! Taking the high road gets you nowhere these days except maybe at a dead end in a dark alley.
Technically most people didn't see a check because of direct deposit- but the point is correct, Democrats never herald their achievements. Every single infrastructure project should have a huge billboard next to it saying "Brought to you by President Biden and Congressional Democrats."
I got a direct deposit and also a copy of a letter signed by Mango Mussolini, with the check amount on it, next to
his ugly signature. The point was to make ignorant people believe he gave them that $. And, it worked all the idiots fell for it 😢
Sxy Red (intentional misspelling) said the hood loves 45, because 45’s signature was on the stimmy check. Short attention span people who are impressed by flash branding love shit like that.
If Democrats herald their achievements, they get hit from the left and the right saying, "but there are still poor, homeless, hungry people. How dare you take credit for your achievements. My brother's girlfriend knows a guy who knows a guy who is sleeping on his couch."
Yep. But when Trump takes office all of a sudden their buddy on the couch can be re-branded as a loser who needs to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
The Fairness Doctrine, expanding the Supreme Court and working towards overturning Citizens United could have saved us. He could still work on these things. Not signing the checks shouldn't be hisfocus at this late stage. Ffs
Biden didn't do a good job taking credit for any of the good things he did. ObamaCare picked up that nickname derisively but at least everyone knew who did it. Politics is as much about marketing and branding as actual accomplishments.
Jokes aside...I really do wish that Biden had been better at publicizing and taking credit for his accomplishments. He wasn't a perfect president but history will judge his policy achievements kindly.
His inability to get political credit for those achievements may doom the Republic.
The fucking carnival barker Trump tells you when he has a healthy shit, Biden doesn't do much about all the Chips act, and infrastructure benefits. He should have had more TV airtime, but he sounds like an old man when he talks so the WH has kept him away from public. Next D needs a rallies, I guess
This is a trivial, unnecessary dig that would've been better not spoken. Let your actions speak for themselves. Try to leave office with a little dignity.
😂😂😂
As if the incoming guy had any dignity.
Remember free speech?
Biden can boast of outstanding achievements.
MAGA will come to discover and regret, only a matter of time.
This is exactly why Biden should be an example. All leaders shouldn't start being petty because one did. Let Trump stick out in history like a sore thumb.
Biden points to Trump’s vanity & propaganda spiel of delaying much needed checks due to wanting them signed, a fact, while Trump just insulted our neighboring country Canada as the 51st US state. There can be no comparison of those statements or those two as regards offensiveness.
Nothing to worry about, it’s here, has been here and will stay for a while. Juvenile power plays are the name of the game - for MAGA. Democrats incessant politeness has not been helpful. Crude & rude is what MAGA celebrates. Your ship has sailed, sorry to say.
I think it would be a nice change if Biden shuts the old pie hole. Who cares what he learned now, since it will have no bearing on anything. He should have put his learnings to good use in the election not ramble nonsense after the fact.
He should have called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the President Biden Infrastructure Law. The Inflation Reform Act should have been the Democratic Inflation Reduction Act. We never put our names on anything. We need to take ALL the credit!

Go figure...

welp now we know
If you want to be remembered as a great POTUS outside of the history department, slap your fucking name on every good thing that you pass.
He committed one grievous sin: He got old, and our society does not value the elderly, even when they are the most capable of leading the country.
We want to razzle-dazzle. Damn the consequences.
He could have also pushed for meaningful reform instead of the middling "eh, I guess that is pretty good" which will be his domestic legacy.
As if any President can affect that at all other than negatively, and Biden did all the right things he could, and the Fed did all the right things it could, to get it under control.
Too late to communicate.
They have to put warning on hair drier not to use them while in a bath tub.
Dumb people are REALLY dumb. And even dumb citizens get to vote.

[scans notes]
Soshulizem.
And also...keeping useless Garland on all 4 years
I just mean all the good he has done, which is a lot, will now be claimed by felon elect, and that’s a shame
Because I'm pretty sure the answer was going to be "Newsom" and that guy has way more actual legitimate scandals going on that Biden does/did.
I remember because they admonished Trump for it then copied him, I remember because he and Nancy said $600 was plenty, then Trump shamed them into double.
I hate Trump, but the Dems are just as bad. 🤷♂️
With his name on it.
his ugly signature. The point was to make ignorant people believe he gave them that $. And, it worked all the idiots fell for it 😢
Oh, well.
Ffs.
Imagination no, Biden has proven he has plenty.
Americans are fed total crap media and food-wise.
thanks capitalism

Actions don't speak for themselves anymore, if they ever did. People don't know what's going on if you don't spell it out.
