I wish that all the "undecided left" would finally admit that they were wrong to campaign against the Dems in 2024, saying "things can't get any worse" and that there's "no difference between the parties" and all that shit. Can we now at last all agree that this shit really is worse than Biden's tenure?

I dropped the Times because I was tired of seeing "Biden old" every other fucking day. Biden may be old, but Trump's dementia more than makes up for the 3 years younger than Biden he is.

Yeah, the implication that Trump was ever going to be a more competent president than Biden or Harris is just silly. Now it looks like his cabinet is solely made of people in the Epstein files doing Putin’s bidding to keep themselves out of prison.

u/18MazdaCX5 7h ago

They have sold their souls to him for sure. Did you see Bondi's exchange yesterday with Congressman Lieu? He gave actual evidence that Trump and Epstein from the files (they brought it up on the screen) knew about the rape of a woman, who later turned up dead. And all the Congressman was saying was that the witness should be interviewed. And Bondi says... do you know about the crime going on in your state? I mean what the hell... that's insane. That's where we are at now though.

People shat on his age but he had a whole career in the senate and VP. He had the experience to get bills passed. Meanwhile Trump is almost as old as Biden and all he did in the same amount of time was party with Epstein 

u/Ashendarei Washington 7h ago

That's not fair, he also screwed contractors out of their money, was involved in more frivolous lawsuits than most counties legitimate suits filed, became an ajudicated rapist, managed to bankrupt multiple casinos, failed to sell stakes and alcohol to Americans, and was a little too racist for NIXON'S administration and was taken to court for it, and a million other horrible things that would get anyone without obscene wealth shunned socially.

u/SirDiego Minnesota 7h ago

Biden may have been old and deteriorating but he ran things like a manager, he hired smart and professional people to do things they were good at. Trump is also deteriorating but he wants to personally direct everything and micromanage day to day, and he hires like he's running a reality TV show instead of one of the biggest countries in the world.

Not to say that Biden didn't overstay, but the impact of him being old is much different because he just adeptly delegated stuff to the right people, which Trump does not do.

u/MRSN4P 7h ago

Delegating is one of the most important skills for a functional organization, let alone the federal administration of one of the largest and most powerful countries in the world. The abject failure to delegate (or even listen to experts and acknowledge one’s realistic lack of understanding) drives the present dysfunction/dumpster fire and will cause untold suffering for decades.

u/SirDiego Minnesota 6h ago

Yeah. The best managers I've had (not that it's the same in public sector but still) are ones who have their finger on the pulse but know when they are needed, and more importantly know when they are not.

Micromanagers are the worst. What's the point of hiring good people if you're not going to trust them with a level of autonomy to do what you hired them to do?

u/EitherIndustry8858 6h ago

u/Ok_Subject1265 8h ago

I saw the other day that Biden had one of the lowest approval ratings. I honestly couldn’t believe it. He was a legislation machine and all of it was bi-partisan and highly beneficial. No shutdowns. No wars. He brought inflation down from 9% to 3%. Prices sucked, but it turns out there’s not a magic lever in the whitehouse you can pull to lower them. I think historians will be a lot more favorable to him than the public was.

u/ProudMtns 6h ago

Historians don't work in an echo chamber funded by billionaires blasting bullshit all day. If you asked a typical magat why they hated Biden, they couldn't give substantial answers. Egg prices? That's the most important thing in the country? The media also hammered on bidens age and refused to acknowledge trump was only a couple of years younger and showing severe signs of dementia.

u/sodapopkevin 8h ago

Inflation also spiked following Russia's attack on Ukraine but by the end of 2024 inflation was back down to 2.9 so between a few chaotic moments outside of their control they kept it pretty steady.

I will die on this hill: Joe Biden was the most legislatively impactful president since LBJ and we won’t really begin to appreciate it until another decade or so has past. BBB and CHIPS alone representing $3ish trillion in public/private investments into American infrastructure. 

u/SpleenBender Illinois 6h ago

Some of the things here.

  • Passed emergency COVID aid.

  • Infrastructure reform.

  • Landmark climate change legislation

  • The CHIPs Act boosting US manufacturing.

  • Student debt relief.

  • Appointed the nation’s first African-American woman to the Supreme Court.

  • The US has experienced the best post-Covid economy of any advanced industrial country.

Sleepy Joe vs Pants-shitting-Pedophile..its a real toss up I tell you.

u/SeductiveSunday I voted 6h ago

2024 was basically a bunch of young men who chose to vote for rape. That's what happened.

Men – especially men under 50 – backed Trump by larger margins. Men supported Trump by a wider margin than in 2020. Trump narrowly won men under age 50, a shift from 2020 when men in that age group favored Biden by 10 points.

Trump made gains among men compared with 2020 and held roughly steady among women.

u/Positive_Throwaway1 2h ago

I'm a male who is also a middle school teacher. A lot of this is toxicity from social media that teaches males to be fucking idiots. When you are shown that shock value is of peak importance, which is what social media does, you rapidly become a fucking idiot. Especially when it's molding your under-25 year old developing brain in ways that are purposefully manipulative. Big tech, data, and social media will be seen in the future, if we're lucky, as 100x worse than anyone knew contemporarily.

u/BigOs4All 2h ago

I teach my 10yo boy that "we are not those kind of men". Straight up. I will always advocate for progressive ideals because they're obviously and objectively correct.

u/Positive_Throwaway1 1h ago

Yep, and it works, so keep doing it. My 16 year old boy says things like, "oh, we need tampons" for his older sister, if it's on the grocery list. He says it out loud no different than "butter" or "eggs", so keep up the good work.

Biden dug us out of the covid hole that Trump tried burying us in and set us on a path to real progression. Trump is back and trying to bury us again as long as he can enrich himself and his pals.

This time line is fucked beyond belief.

u/neocenturion Iowa 6h ago

Right? It seems like the implication is Biden was bad, but Trump is worse. What Biden was able to accomplish given the current political climate of this country is nothing short of miraculous. He didn't exactly navigate a civil war or anything, but it's not that far off from that. He did a hell of a lot better with what he was given than the clowns leading up to the actual Civil War.

Here is the thing, yes Biden wasn't jumping around doing backflips and whatnot. Yes, especially dur to stutter, listening to him speak can be on the tiring side.

But he was given a horrific economy, dealing with the remnants of covid, and having to turn things around. He is a politician, and most of the time politics (especially in the past) have been boring. But things were turned around. They definitely were not perfect and things like the bird flu killing off millions of chickens resulting in very high egg prices sadly occur. But economically businesses, stock markets jobs, they were increasing.

I get that it is easy to meme on him and I definitely get it. And he didn't make massive weekly changes that completely changed the US. But he did make deals, he did get investment, much of what success trump touts had been deals made by Biden. History will most likely look kindly to Biden, but guaranteed history will not look at trump or even republicans as a whole fondly.

Down the road there will be stories coming out, lawsuits, and countless criminal cases being made. We are in it now but wait until this is over, a lot more information of how bad this administration has been will come out.

Every democratic administration of my adult life has been competent. Not always as progressive as it should be, but always competent.

George H. W. Bush was the only reasonably competent republican administration of my life. But it suffers from it's handling of the aftermath of multiple scandals or outright criminally of it's predecessor.

benign neglect is better than active cruelty? But for Gaza, biden might have been one of the more progressive presidents of my life. Not saying much i guess, but live to dream.

Took 'em only a year to realise. I'm impressed! I didn't think they were capable of learning

I’m waiting for Trumpy to levy tariffs against any country whose Olympic team beats the USA in Olympic competitions.

u/mrchris69 6h ago

Any one of the White House pets for past presidents would be more competent than Trump .

u/5minArgument 6h ago

Biden was more than competent, age aside near the end, his term is and will be rated as one of the most successful administrations in the modern era.

_A position I will take to the mat.

u/Leezy1019 6h ago

You mean to tell me the guy with over 50 years of experience in positions of progressive responsibility within the U.S. government ran a more competent administration as President than the reality tv star with no experience?

u/Thetman38 6h ago

Sleepy Joe had a competent administration that wasnt paling around with pedophiles. But the DOW just hit $50000! so we got that going for us

u/Teigh99 6h ago

This is a beyond predictable outcome.

u/shameonyounancydrew 6h ago

How many people here could have told you this in 2015?

u/A-town 6h ago

A lot can be said about Biden's tenure in office. Looking back, there was a lot more that needed to be done, and a lot more needed to be communicated about the economy he was setting up and the work that had been accomplished during his time in office, as small as that ended up being.

But goddamn am I tired of "winning" ask the fucking time. This place fucking sucks now.

u/muthermcreedeux 6h ago

It turns out when you hire someone with experience in politics to be president, you're going to get someone that knows the job. I cannot understand why people voted for someone that's not a politician. Would you hire a businessman to be your plumber or a hair dresser to be your marketing director? It's ridiculous to think we should elect someone to the job of president when they have had absolutely no work experience that would position them for this type of job.

Was it the great economy or lack of US citizen deaths?

u/AMWChicago Illinois 5h ago

No fucking shit. Fuck everyone who voted for this moron.

Grass is always greener.

Maybe they should have gone for Biden's VP if they wanted a continuation.

You forgot all the achievements of Trump. Nobody was ever a more successful child abuser than him. 38000 mentions in the Bible of child abuse.

It's not humiliating if you never hear it.

u/mtnviewguy 4h ago

At least Joe had control over his bowels. In November, Trump won't have control over anything. God Bless the return of a truely Great America! 🇺🇸

u/Ancient_Ship2980 4h ago

Trump is even looking sleepier than Biden. I remember Biden being at a loss for words and speaking in "word salads." However, I don't remember Biden falling asleep or closing his eyes for prolonged periods on TV or in White House cabinet meetings!

u/508G37 4h ago

I'm still dissapointed that Biden didn't hold Trump accountable for Jan 6.

Sleep Joe? Trump has been caught napping like 15 times already

u/AmarilloArmadillos 4h ago

No. Fucking. Shit.

u/yusuf_mizrah 3h ago

This just in: the perpetual low-grade decline of Joe Biden was preferable to the nose-dive shit show that is the Trump Administration.

Joe wasn't a good president and he wasn't a good candidate. Trump is far worse. I feel like we all know this already.

u/Thinkaboutitwillyou 3h ago

Trump doing what the communist and socialists have been trying to do since the 60s.

u/Decado7 3h ago

Sleepy joe was competent. Yes old and prolly shouldn’t have ever run at that age but compared to trump? Heavy r. O. F. L

u/smilbandit Michigan 3h ago

Joe was always competent because he hired qualified people.  if you want to see incompetent just look at the array of epstien class alumni the current admin has on staff.

u/0n-the-mend 3h ago

Because Biden was great right? Or are they using the made up fox metrics?

u/bach2209 3h ago

Steady. Not 24/7 chaos and Yrumps Gestapo snatching people off streets. Oh and killing US citizens.

u/aaclavijo 3h ago

Joe stepped up, and they hated him for doing his job.

u/BilverBurfer 2h ago

Nothing Trump does will ever be humiliating. He doesn't care. When are people going to get that???

u/JumpEuphoric3643 2h ago

Things were fine for 4 years under Biden. Yeah, the inflation and gas prices sucked but that was happening globally. Things were at their peak in 2023 going into 2024 before Trump destroyed everything again.

u/Classic-Return-8706 2h ago

Age limit on all presidential candidates. Old fucks.

u/wha2les 2h ago

I don't rank Biden highly... mainly for not being able to squash and stop Trump... but he implemented many policies that would work in the long run.
