yeah joe, you didn’t do what was needed. You will forever be remembered as the guy who did nothing in the face of a serious threat. They literally ran on how big a threat trump is to our country. Then they should’ve done something about it. Hell, supreme court said presidents can do whatever they want and can’t be prosecuted. But he didn’t do enough, and now we are all paying.
You shoulda never ran for reelection, and read the damn room.
Your writing erased with the elbow…
…just have no words…could he really (could ALL OF THE DOJ & Democrats REALLY) HAVE been so BLIND???!!! Nauseous on this profoundly tragic day of mourning for our abused America.
Biden doesn’t matter. His only legacy will be allowing Trump to remain a free man. Trump will decimate the remainder of Biden’s legacy.
Biden. Doesn’t. Matter.
Biden should had order a special counsel to investigate j6 on day one, he failed us all.
Should have tossed Garland out then.
Merrick Garland carved his name into the history books, but not how he wanted. He’ll be listed alongside Chamberlain under appeasement.
If I may ask, why was this speech conducted at the SHRM conference which I guess is for HR?
Joe… while you were working hard, you forgot to crucify the insurrectionists on national tv. You also let Garland hang around doing absolutely nothing. You told the US you were just here for 1 term to get us straighten out.. but you couldn’t let go (neither could the DNC establishment) and left any chance, choice or opportunity for a successor in the wind.
Please go play your violin someplace else. We now have one hell of a mess, and no leadership.
Your legacy was to try to keep things as the status quo and not make any meaningful and actual necessary change, while letting Trump get off the hook and literally telling him “Welcome Home” when he returned.
Biden did a lot of good things, but he didn’t do what mattered.
Really infuriates me to hear Biden whine about his legacy when he literally sleepwalked us into a full on dictatorship. At this point, all the good he did is completely overshadowed by the complete shitshow we’re living in now. Thanks, Joe.
“i got on my knees and lifted my ass in the air for Republicans, why would they fuck me like this?”
Bro should have tested the constitution (like Trump does daily) and taken care of this problem. Now, we’re trying to figure out which concentration camp we’re ending up in.
The next President (if we have another democrat) needs to grow some serious balls. They need to go after billionaires and the conservative media machine if they ever want MAGA back. They also need to either lie through their teeth or pander to the most progressive people in order to fix what’s broken and get back what was stolen by trump. Biden didn’t do that. Obama didn’t really do that from bush.
We need younger more liberal voices to balance the centrist older dems. Charismatic figures surrounded by smart bureaucrats. New ideas. New playbooks and frameworks. New messaging. Democrats have none of this currently. And 30% of the US population think entire parts of the country are unlivable wastelands due to talk radio. Until we have this we won’t be winning anytime soon and if we do nothing meaningful will really change anything.
Maybe, just maybe you should have honored your promise to sit for 1 term and then the Democrats could have had a full primary, and maybe a better candidate.
We need to get back in and start shoving reversals of the gwb/trump years down gop throats. Quit tiptoeing around their rage, they’re just going to be what they are to the end, the only way to restore human progress is to demoralize them.
appointed a republican attorney general and rolled over after GOP stole two supreme court seats with their bullshit?????
Dems tried to appease the democratic donor class who wants dems to be just like republicans but not openly nazis.
Get fucked neoliberals. Biden in your last term you should have told the donor class to get fucked.
Oh Biden you meant well, but dammit you should have stuck to your “transitional” presidency promise and allowed a primary.
Work smart not hard. So much more he could’ve done. Stop reaching across the aisle, stop pandering to middle ground fake centrists. Trump should’ve been arrested Jan 20th for J6, among other things.
I’m speaking out of pure frustration, but they should’ve done more to idiot proof things. They knew what was at stake.
Pretty much all the Biden term did was buy time for trumps camp to plan and do as much damage as possible
If only Merrick Garland had worked a little harder
This motherfucker spent half a century reaching across the aisle and jerking off conservatives. He offered absolutely no resistance to a party that was becoming more visibly zealoted with each passing decade. He can stuff these fake ass lamentations up his senile ass.
I hope Garland eats shit in hell
Dude kept playing checkers by the rules while the other side was sawing the board in half with a chainsaw
He should’ve thrown Trump in prison on day one.
Didn’t work hard enough to toss Trump and his cronies in prison…
I respect what Biden did while he was in office, but he wasn’t the right man for the times. He would have been a great president for a more conventional era, but we needed a strong, bold president who wasn’t afraid to take some risks. Trump and MAGA needed to be dealt with forcefully, but Biden was hoping that everyone’s better natures would ultimately prevail. Not the right play. At every turn that his administration could have nailed Trump, they chose to try to just move past it.
Hopefully people have gotten the point. It wasn’t the right call to let Nixon off the hook, and it was REALLY not the right call to hope that Republicans buried Trump for Biden so he didn’t have to.
I’m not holding my breath, though. The takeaway here for most people is going to be that acting like Trump is the winning formula in today’s political environment. That’s the sad truth of this era.
Working hard and actually protecting America from what everyone knew was coming is two different things. Biden and the DOJ failed to prosecute Trump when they had everything they needed to get it done……expect COURAGE! Democrats render themselves inept by assuming their opponents will follow the rules. THEY DON’T…..now look at us!
worked so damn hard but you took it easy on holding those accountable that broke the law and guess what happen they all got away with it laughing.
All you had to do was become the progressive Boogeyman of Republican nightmare. Either you get excellent and sweeping change, or Congress freaks out and restricts presidential powers. But no, we had to leave the hen house wide open for the foxes.
You could have done everything right, but the you’ve made the one mistake that mattered.
Piss off, Brandon, you’re completely responsible for this!
Sorry dawg but you don’t get to be the guy who appointed Merrick Garland and then bitch about the consequences later
Biden literally had one job: to do whatever was necessary to bar Trump from making the improbable but nevertheless deeply destructive comeback that he has managed to achieve, at immense harm to so many and the country itself.
If Biden and his administration had even brought an ounce of the ruthlessness that Trump has brought to his second term, Trump could have been at the absolute least, drowning under an avalanche of legal troubles at this time, if not sitting in a prison cell, the only place that wretched scumbag truly belongs.
Instead, everyone from the courts and media on up to Garland as AG behaved like Trump was at best harmless, or at worst, a silly inept clown who would do no worse than pissing on your leg and calling it rain. Every one of them should have been nailing him to the wall as a criminal and traitor to this country. Instead, they feared him, and worse, normalized him for ratings, shits and giggles, or whatever. Who’s laughing now?
The perpetual problem for the Dems is they are too fucking nice. And Biden was this and then some to a fault. But with a bully like Trump, you simply cannot be nice. Ever. You’ve got to use the hammer and nail him to the wall at any cost. Period. Fuck his money. Fuck his celebrity status. Fuck his followers. Fuck his big money backers. No one can be above the law.
I want to feel bad for Biden, but at the same time, I’m like “dude, how could you not know that this was going to happen, and that he was going to take a hatchet to your legacy?” History will likely remember his presidency as a brief interlude in Trump’s decade-long reign of chaos that had several chances to avert the Project 2025/DOGE/BBB disaster but blew all of them.
Non MAGA Americans (speaking as a Canadian) are making me nauseaus these days. I see/hear/read “can only hope”, “next democratic president”, “it’ll better after the next election”, and so on. Y’all going down the police state shit tube and you’re bringing the rest of the world with you.
The whole “America fights for freedom and democracy” thing seems to have been bullshit all along.
“All we can do is vote”, that’s not the America that you’ve been showing the world for the last 75 fuckin years.
Biden still fundamentally misunderstands why he was elected. He wasn’t elected to build infrastructure, create a chip industry to compete with China or even bring sensible leadership to our COVID response. His mandate was to provide a political vision that could transition the country away from MAGA and Trump. On that mandate, he was a complete failure because he was too consumed by ego and old age.
