Biden to Trump: "Welcome home"

What did you expect him to do? Kick him in the tiny, shriveled nuts?

cabinchick.bsky.social•59 days ago

I am appalled. Honestly I have been a Democrat voter my whole life but the way they rolled over after the election angers me more than I can express.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

There was one gathering where the previous leaders were in attendance that was interesting. The Clinton’s and others were smiling and seemed to be enjoying the festivities. I thought what civility. I wonder if they were just happy that precedence and peaceful transfer of power was occurring.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

I remember how impressed trump was at the Bastille Day event in France… with the big war machinery as a show of power and domination. I think they were glad they weren’t being mowed down by a trump parade of destruction by tanks.

lionelsmint.neilmilton.scot•59 days ago

The demented insistence on civility no matter what.

edenarachnelatro.bsky.social•59 days ago

There’s nothing demented about civility. Our communities depend upon it.

What is demented is voting for someone who would treat you like shit even if they were your neighbour.

lionelsmint.neilmilton.scot•59 days ago

There is obvious context to my comment.

If someone constantly abuses me, threatens my family, and shits on my doorstep, I don't invite them back round for coffee. I certainly wouldn't say "welcome home!"

anchusa.bsky.social•59 days ago

I am so fucking over it!

baldylocks.bsky.social•59 days ago

“Welcome home” ??
Joe, with all due respect… PLEASE shut the fuck up.

This is part of the democrats problem

captain-corona.bsky.social•58 days ago

Maybe Biden doesn’t have it all upstairs.

dragonlily.bsky.social•58 days ago

Fine, he followed protocol. What IS difficult to understand are the democrats and past presidents standing by. There is far more respect for those who stand up to bullies, not those who acquiesce to bullies in a stolen power. Every person who did nothing is a party to this farce.

klwhite.bsky.social•58 days ago

It feels like this was all just a game for Biden too.

klwhite.bsky.social•58 days ago

Yes. It’s insulting to all of us. What a hypocrite Biden is.

jclarkb.bsky.social•59 days ago

Biden never got it.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

We don’t know what Biden was saying under his breath.. like welcome home, don’t piss on it.

crazyheart007.bsky.social•59 days ago

I understand why he did it, But MAGA doesn’t care about stuff like this. They want to burn it all down, and take us with them.

oldtrev5372.bsky.social•59 days ago

I wonder if Biden has left a few metaphorical kippers in the air-con?

hicksnco.bsky.social•59 days ago

Class and breeding
Blood will tell

ramapo.bsky.social•59 days ago

I guess he was trying to make Trump feel like an asshole for being such an asshole. Problem is, Trump lacks feelings and shame.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

Good post.

jade-it.bsky.social•59 days ago

Covardiace.

roland54.bsky.social•59 days ago

That’s why Democrats failed, common courtesy is no longer valid in politics !

peterrschink.bsky.social•59 days ago

Joe Biden was elected to uphold democracy. Joe Biden instead decided to be cordial to fascism. Joe Biden could have been a great president had he only acted in a manner that would have stopped a second Trump term. He did not. I regret to say he will be remembered as a failure.

jeremybyington.bsky.social•59 days ago

Why is Melania in a funeral outfit?

reggie2000.bsky.social•58 days ago

I thought the same. The answer is obvious 😂

phillipmalone.com•59 days ago

These are seriously unserious people! Enjoy your new dictatorship!

qrys13.bsky.social•58 days ago

I would have preferred a much more feral approach from the democrats. We have got to treat fascists the way they treat others. Punch nazis at all costs.

shaysss.bsky.social•59 days ago

Should’ve changed the locks.

pfiore8.bsky.social•58 days ago

I usually agree with you. But what did you want him to do?
He is an institutionalist, still living in the 20th century.

rpms.bsky.social•58 days ago

Sickening

mymikequestwest.bsky.social•58 days ago

Biden is TOO DIPLOMATIC sometimes….

drtrmayers.bsky.social•59 days ago

I hope Biden lives long enough to be criminally prosecuted for his negligence in allowing this Trump resurrection.

dloprinzi.bsky.social•59 days ago

Biden’s legacy will be complicated to say the least. He passed historical, meaningful legislation that will help millions for years to come. But ultimately, he’s responsible for ushering in Trump’s second term by not fundamentally understanding the dire situation we’ve been facing.

poteauthe11th.bsky.social•59 days ago

That was arguably his most important duty. Nothing was more important than preventing this authoritarian oligarchy from taking power. Nothing.

dloprinzi.bsky.social•59 days ago

You got that right.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

On another note, I was happy to see the heart felt embrace between Jill and Kamala.

danforinton.bsky.social•59 days ago

He won some battles and surrendered the war without firing a shot

smartieplum.bsky.social•59 days ago

Trump would be raging about it though

quiltynana.bsky.social•59 days ago

Especially given what FOTUS did to Biden exactly 4 years ago today. Biden is a class act. FOTUS is….not.

drslpt.bsky.social•59 days ago

Biden is a human who is respectful of others. No surprise. The surprise would be if any normal human behavior were reciprocated by the malignant narcissist and felon-in-chief.

jennifermc6.bsky.social•59 days ago

Courtesy is not a weakness nor is it capitulation.

baldylocks.bsky.social•59 days ago

In typical times, I would agree. But these are not typical times. A “smooth transition” into fascism is not to be applauded. Such a dire situation cannot be answered with social norms. It will take time for some to see, but see they will. All I can say is- be ready.

huh-nope.bsky.social•59 days ago

Being the better man never pays off on the same day.
More like a bank account you keep depositing into for a pay off in the future. Biden did the right thing. We just don't know how yet because we aren't clairvoyant.

micky52.bsky.social•58 days ago

Not insane. Supremely civil. Like Jimmy Carter, not Donald Trump.

ramblewithdaniel.bsky.social•59 days ago

This proves what I've said repeatedly, that Biden (and Democrats/liberals broadly) love institutions more than people. Biden loves America more than Americans; it's clear as day to me.

ramblewithdaniel.bsky.social•59 days ago

To add to this, loving all people should come before loving any nation. Palestinians and Haitians and Congolese all deserve to exist more so than any nation—be it England, Russia, Israel, or the United States. People over profits, wellness over money, life over power.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

Well worded post, but I’m somewhat on the fence. While that kind of populism has value, my anger is tempered by the thought that the trump President will fail.

hatch-m.bsky.social•59 days ago

Biden has class

imyourmerlin.bsky.social•58 days ago

Giving the keys to a fascist makes you a fascist.

kph100.bsky.social•59 days ago

And musk is giving nazi salutes now. Biden failed the world.

saintpalermo.bsky.social•59 days ago

I’m not surprised- #GenocideJoe is a #WarCriminal who bears responsibility for the killing of thousand of Palestinian women & CHILDREN. Don’t let his demeanor fool you- #Biden is an evil man. 😖

afresistance.bsky.social•59 days ago

Remember when dem leaders would answer to every legitimate concern and criticism with “but Trump” and you guys followed that same line. We warned you.

jpetertil.bsky.social•59 days ago

I do not love this either. But this is who we rise to be. We lead by example, not hate.

dannyashby.bsky.social•58 days ago

Joe Biden is a cuck

shalla-bal.bsky.social•58 days ago

Did people expect Biden would stop the transfer? Or are they just mad that he did it with civility? Voters voted for this. Biden can't do anything because it would validate disrespect for democratic norms. Canada will elect a mini-Trump this fall and, we too, will watch as democracy kills itself.

auntiespeakstruth.bsky.social•59 days ago

Need to show America Trump is the anomaly here.

mcclain142.bsky.social•59 days ago

Welcoming the same guy with open arms who scares him so much he pardoned his entire family.

The comparison to Hindenburg is starting to hit home

unifawn73.bsky.social•58 days ago

At least he didn't say "we beat medicare" . Can't wait to find out who in dem leadership knew of bidens cognitive decline and said nothing about it. It's all a big club for them. They get the pardons, we get the boot on our necks

davek67.bsky.social•58 days ago

It was fucking nauseating!

bourgeoisnyc.bsky.social•59 days ago

When they go low, we fucking sit on our hands and pretend everything is fine.

wooozle.bsky.social•59 days ago

Yes, Biden should be more concerned about what he’s letting the country in for, bearing in mind Trump is a monster with zero empathy or regard for human life unless it has $B’s in the bank.

legidud7.bsky.social•58 days ago

He treated him extremely well, he let him get away with insurrection for four years.

mikibosanac.bsky.social•58 days ago

Fascists see kindness as weakness. Weakness must be exploited for destruction.

cory-moore.bsky.social•59 days ago

Why the fuck didn't Biden just shoot Trump and call it an official act?

florose207.bsky.social•59 days ago

He has gravy, unlike when he took over.

florose207.bsky.social•59 days ago

I meant grace!

saleem999.bsky.social•59 days ago

Totally unsurprising. They are the same.

simdums.bsky.social•59 days ago

Weak dangerous and ignorant to treat Trump with any respect, the democratic party is dead

rhondakaye.bsky.social•59 days ago

This fucking infuriates me.

misgivings.bsky.social•59 days ago

I see no honour in it

accountabilabuddy.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's sad that his final official act is to violate his own oath of office.

His addiction to unwritten anti-constitutional "norms" has helped kill the republic.

internetdev.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's an Adams Family.

soso008.bsky.social•59 days ago

I don’t see how he can be anything but coldly polite. How can you welcome a man who intents to destroy the nation. Civility doesn’t outrank fascism. 😫

shirleymeerson.bsky.social•59 days ago

Agree 🙄

hu66.bsky.social•59 days ago

Exactly ! So mainstream politicians of the past look weak and frail with no back bone !

Biden does not practice hate. Let him be who he is.

Hey we’re on the same side

wurzle.bsky.social•59 days ago

They're all the fucking same

hdavidso.bsky.social•59 days ago

He’s a politician. You can’t trust them with matters of the constitution 🤮

themidnightoil.bsky.social•59 days ago

I think Biden just, as a person, likes Trump. There's part of him that respects him.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

Oh no. No way.

mkvidahl.bsky.social•58 days ago

Biden spent 50 years upholding his oath to the Constitution. That includes the results of the Electoral College and 77,303,573 votes for The Convicted Felon to be President. Write letters to PA’s Attorney General to follow up TCF’s statement about PA’s votes and Musk’s role in getting them.

dr0923.bsky.social•58 days ago

“I just preemptively pardoned my family out of fear of you but hey, how you doing? Come on in, pal!”. What a stupid, stupid country we live in.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

I liked but only the MAGA stupidity part.

therealjeffstein.bsky.social•59 days ago

Of all the things I love and admire about Joe Biden, I do not love and admire this about Joe Biden. Not anymore I don’t.

middleagedmess616.bsky.social•59 days ago

It makes no sense-this is fighting for our democracy?

noexitlovenow.bsky.social•59 days ago

Sickening and unreal.

clockking.bsky.social•59 days ago

When someone I’ve been a dick towards is nice to me, I feel guilty. I don’t think the same can be said for Trump who feels entitled to everyone kissing his ass regardless of how he treats them

defiantlion.bsky.social•59 days ago

Pretty pathetic.

distanttrains.bsky.social•59 days ago

Democratic leaders seem fundamentally unable to recognize the line between decency and self-destructive passivity.

dem1947.bsky.social•58 days ago

What was Biden supposed to do and say other than nice weather we’re having. He said what he felt in his speech.

distanttrains.bsky.social•58 days ago

I don’t know, but something colder and more business-like. Or, now that norms are out the window, he could have had some low-level functionary take his place.

barrattsd.bsky.social•59 days ago

He’s showing Trump what is expected of our Presidents as they complete their term of service. We should be grateful for Biden’s humility. This will forever be offset by his failure to honor his own commitment to serve one term as a transitional president.

maryleem.bsky.social•59 days ago

Forgot the wife - again -

comradedelaune.bsky.social•59 days ago

It's insane that everyone knows his second term will cause the murder of thousands and not a single person that got near him has taken him out. Every single politician and business leader to shake his hand now has blood dripping from theirs and it isn't trumps, as we all know it should be.

fenex.studio•58 days ago

Just two Mentally decaying individuals who love ruining America.

emergeguidedheal.bsky.social•59 days ago

Not insane. Authentic. Behavior should flow from our values, or we don’t really hold those values.

geizlini.bsky.social•58 days ago

Still on Biden. He’s been this man most of his life with a few bad things he learned from.

Put the blame where it’s due: on corporate media.

The age thing disappeared the second Biden dropped out. They sanewashed Trump on everything. They never looked at his record. They wanted facism.
