I mean he'll be dead in a few years. The shitstorm may start in 2025 but it will take a few years before it's an issue for him.

Unless Trump has him SealTeam6'ed. You know, with immunity.

Fuck me, he doesn't even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don't care if he's done a few good things in his time, Biden's literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.

I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers

Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep at the wheel.

Remember when they said Joe Biden was too old in 2020? He has a really impressive 3 1/2 year track record compared to the absolute train wreck he followed and both Democrats AND Republicans actually prefer his policies. The orange rapist/felon sucked big time.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why he should not be the candidate. Not because he’s old or whatever. Because he does not understand that if he loses, we fucking lose democracy. Not a joke; not hyperbole. We get to have Russian-style “elections” for the foreseeable future.

He is so fucking wrapped up in his own ego and hubris that he is going to drive us straight into the fucking wall. He’s so far up his own ass about his ability to compromise that he can’t comprehend that fascist elements of the Republican Party (but I repeat myself) have no intention whatsoever of compromising or negotiating once they really get their hands on the reins of power again.

He is betraying his oath of office. He’s not meaningfully protecting and defending the constitution from threats foreign and domestic, and he hasn’t done so effectively for basically his entire term. As a historical parallel, it’s like a mashup of the US in 1859 and Germany in 1932. It’s baffling, infuriating, and horrifying, in equal measure. His head is demonstrably not in the game - and it seems he doesn’t even understand the game he’s playing (that’s not a “he’s old” quip - I’m talking about the fact that he continues to bring a deck of cards to the shitshow gunfight that is modern American politics and expects to get good results).

Beware - tolls abound here.

He went from 'Im the one who can beat him', to 'its okay if I lose'. Who's the troll again?

It's fine. I have an EZ Pass

Might be more accurate with the image of Grandpa yelling at the sky for Trump.

Maybe they'll put that on his tombstone after President-for-life Trump has him executed as an "Official Act"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Biden being executed: "back in my day a fella could get two nooses for a penny!"

He is making the greatest mistake of his career. What a shame to let pride and greed do this to the legacy he leaves behind

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

He is making the greatest mistake of his career.

And considering he voted for the Iraq War... oof.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This isn’t going to end well. He needs to fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No you fucking didn't.

Giving it your all would preclude doing things that decrease the number of votes you're going to get, such as ending the rent moratorium, refusing to pack the court to protect Roe (because that would make it political lmao), trying to close the border, and facilitating a genocide.

You wanna be able to say you gave it your all? Drone strike the SCOTUS and use every means at your disposal to keep the fascists out of power.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 2 months ago

Well, as me and my family are torn apart and sent to re-education camps at least I'll have the comfort of knowing Joe "gave it his all".

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You didn't give it your all if Fuckface 45 is still fucking alive, Joe.
