A reminder that everytime you get upset at Trump & Musk that you should also be upset with the Democrats that got us here.

            Lol… oh no did I dare criticize. Did I vote for the same candidate as a majority of Palestinians?

            Were you one of those calling Palestinians dumb saying you know what is best for them & they should sit down, shut up & do what you tell them? I imagine a lot more would have wanted to vote for Kamala Cheney had she actually said what she’d do differently than Biden, other than having a Republican in her cabinet.

              I find it hard to believe that this (looks around) would be the same as Trump. No, I don’t think so. Would it be status quo or possibly one inch of a bone given to us? Yeah, I think so, but Harris has a whole lot more of everything than Trump ever had.

          Democrats helped him get elected by supporting genocide & corruption. In a lot of ways it sounds like you got exactly what you wanted.

        You’re not going to make any inroads with a crowd that deepthroats boot for fun.

        You’re faced with half, “Whatever Biden did, he’s on my team and part of my identity,” and half, “Let’s quickly sweep uncomfortable truths under the rug.”

    He made the right decision to drop out and let someone younger take the mantle. Can’t say the same for Republicans.

      except he didn’t. it only happened because the party pressured him to after an abysmal debate performance in August. If he really wanted that, he would have said as much at the beginning of the year rather than campaign.

      His campaign & Democrats lied about his cognitive decline & ran cover for him, which gave people reason to trust Republicans who had been saying it. By the time he dropped out he had already done significant damage to the party. Sure you can be thankful he dropped out, but he still helped Trump win.

    The whole “he didn’t really sign all those executive orders” thing is also a really bad look. Especially when you consider that his resignation from the 2024 presidential run signature looked different from all the signatures on his many pardons and executive orders that he allegedly rushed out in the final days of his presidency.

    Combine that with the interviews where people ask him why he signed executive orders for things and he responded with “I never signed anything like that”.

    It really really looks like the Democrats were playing weekend at Bidens for at least the final months of his presidency, but probably longer.

    Edit: added a word I had somehow missed.

    This guy is old news and we can’t change the past. I’m more focused on what I can do now. If we keep playing the blame game the only thing we’ll accomplish is getting pissed off at each other instead of what really matters.

    I can blame my dad or my red county for getting him elected, or I can use my time to try and protect the people in my life that I actually care about. I don’t give a shit about petty revenge for every small thing that led up to this, I care about my little sister’s existence being considered illegal because she lives in a red state. Do I hate my dad? Absolutely. Will hating him accomplish anything meaningful? Probably not in the long run.
