I sincerely hope the last thoughts on his deathbed (hopefully in a few months to years) are the realization that he will forever be remembered as a weak old man who willingly handed the keys to the White House to a man who wants to destroy American democracy. His 50-year career will *never* matter.
Remember when Obama told half of the primary field to drop out and endorse him so Bernie didn't have a chance at the nomination? Thinking about that for no reason.
"People close to Obama said the former president has been keeping close tabs on the race. They said the signal has been sent in the past 36 hours that he sees Biden as the candidate to back, and they don’t need Obama to say it publicly or privately."
This performative fair play from Biden and the Dems has zero political value. It’s brought us to this precarious moment in history. No one thanked them for their fecklessness—it’s a slap in the face to those demanding resistance to autocracy.
Nah, you don't get it: now when the GOP-controlled House votes to raise the $35 cap on insulin, it's only gonna go up to $1150 instead of $1200 - It's called 'currying favor.' #Bipartisanship #PoliSci
Making 35k a year pays 6.2% and someone making a 3 billion a year pays..6.2%...how on earth can we have ceded the messaging to theae people to the extent we have? Bc they don't actually care. Our guy was Sanders. It was always sanders.biden was a huge mistake
ZERO...it's 9 years of this. At some point, when they continue to NOT DO OR SAY the obvious thing, u realize it's not incompetence, it's willfilull ignorance mandated by their donors. Like we have been talking about expanding for social security for 20 years. How do people not know that someone
Then why haven’t the people who have been screaming about how dangerous he is done anything but roll out the red carpet for him for the last couple months?
My guess is that they personally dislike fascism (as they imagine it) but since they won’t really be affected by it, it’s fundamentally just a policy disagreement for them.
File injunctions for the voting irregularities on election Day, not half-assed impeachment proceedings, not half-assed the DOJ criminal investigations...
I wish Prez Biden hadn’t said that but it shows how awkward and unbelievable this moment was. I’d be dumbstruck or say something just as ludicrous. This is not normal 🍿🤡
Most awkward to watch, Jill as usual showed grace and civility. Hamburgler as usual was unable to stand by the Felon Prez without looking stiff and pained.
It's one thing to do the peaceful transition thing, but "welcome home" is ridiculous and a great big slap in the face those who protected the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
I get that Biden good man that he is would want to adhere to norms. I don’t get the warmth like Trump
War just another incoming President. I worry Dems are not up to what’s needed
My fervent wish is that Biden has signed EO to naturalize every person on US soil at midnight last night to be released to the press two mins before the inauguration - just for laughs.
That'd give Trump something to have a sour puss about seeing as he has one all the time anyway.
And that’s why the Democrats lost the election. Spineless bastards. Never mind, Sleepy Joe will never have to worry about a welfare payment or a medical bill.
So glad Biden finally struck upon the novel concept of sucking up to Trump and letting him do whatever he wants while making him feel like you love him. I'm sure that will improve his behavior.
"Welcome home to the White House, putin puppet. Destroy away while I'm wealthy enough & USSS-protected enough to not be bothered by your destruction of the Constitution &quasi-economic stability the peasants are now enjoying."
Biden's legacy to me? Rolling over.
Biden preemptively pardons dozens of innocent people, knowing that Trump IS a fascist who will try to arrest them, then welcomes him into the White House instead of kicking him back down the stairs
It completely sucks because the message is “Lol! none of this matters. We were just kidding about all that stuff we said in the campaign” but the reality is that a lot of people are going to get hurt, but they don’t care because it won’t be them
Yes but this is going to be so much worse. There is a difference in impacts between parties’ policies even if there isn’t a material difference between leaders as people
There was a lot of important and fa reaching good legislation that his administration got passed. For moral leadership, he was, sorry to say, a failure.
He passed some good legislation, but completely fumbled the ball when it came to the Afghanistan withdrawal and especially Gaza. He dusted off the Obama red line multiple times and when Netanyahu crossed it, he just threw his hands up like “Welp, can’t do anything about it.”
When we put him in office he had promised he was a “transitional candidate” and that he was going to pass the torch to the next generation. Then he decided that he was going to run again and pulled out of the race entirely too late. Then ultimately handed his country back to Trump on a platter.
Trump was going to win regardless. It is just how stupid this country really is. There was no path forward for Joe or Kamala. People like Trump, I don’t get it, not at all, but the people voted for him.
a lucid human being would have vomited before they could say that but luckily joe biden doesn't know where he is or what he's doing, he's just on autopilot
man says welcome home to the man who he just preemptively pardoned his own family to protect against. when this shit collapses I hope no dem leadership can ever show their face in public again.
Biden still playing conventional 20th Century politics has fucked the country so much. His refusal to treat bad faith actors like Trump, Netanyahu, McConnell, House GOP, Putin, etc. as the security threats that they are has doomed democracy everywhere.
Wonder if they remember when Biden was worried about his children growing up in a racial jungle due to desegregation? Can always count on Joe to play nice with racists and fascists! But by all means praise him on MLK day 🙄
Try this:
“You’re a giant asshole! Your plans will make America worse for many hardworking people who just want to pursue their dreams and you traffick in hate and anger and the worst human impulses!
But you won and I respect democracy so here’s the key.”
God the democrats are an embarrassment. Did Biden plant a giant kiss on his backside while he was at it? Fascism has come to America and the democrats greet it with open arms.

🤣
Bernie lost bc he tanked in South Carolina. He couldn't hold water outside of mostly white states.
Trump: “It’s good to be king.”
🤦♀️
so much for Trump being a danger to democracy!
Anything else they could have done while they still had control of the executive branch of the United States government.
worst-case scenario they just go back on the immunity after he tries something, which would be good anyway
FAFO.
you should be yelling at them!
that's not how that works. are you a real person? I don't think so. no one could be this fucking stupid.

“Welcome home”
That’s The People’s House
Not his fucking home

This is not “decency.” It’s a slap in the face to decency.
4 long years of this…
Biden continues to tarnish his legacy. He sure doesn’t seem to understand this moment except when giving prepared remarks.
Same team.
White House is a place for presidents to work and rest
But only temporarily
“You’re a giant asshole! Your plans will make America worse for many hardworking people who just want to pursue their dreams and you traffick in hate and anger and the worst human impulses!
But you won and I respect democracy so here’s the key.”
Trump was right. Ds do not fight for anything
and why would I have any empathy for the genocidal rapist that gave us trump? I don't care about him. he's a monster.
