In an interview with "The View," former President Joe Biden said he took some responsibility for President Trump's 2024 win because he was "in charge."

    Don’t stop there. Let’s hear what you think he should have done so we can evaluate your argument on its merits instead of the strawman you’ve constructed.

      Well, just to name a few:

      • sack Garland after it became apparent that he was not fit for purpose. Better yet, he shouldn’t have even picked him
      • sack DeJoy (do not give me that bullshit about how “his hands were tied” - that’s demonstrably a matter of interpretation)
      • GOP wants to lean into the maximalist interpretation of executive power? Maliciously comply.
      • pack the court

      I can go on, at length, but I’m sure you’re starting to get the point.

        Garland did the job he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigation so biden could run against trump again.

      He should have ensured in the four years he had that Trump was prosecuted, found guilty, and sentenced to federal prison for his part in January 6th.

        You’re right it’s worse. “Fucked off since the election”. As in, it’s just absurd nonsense that ignores any of the good things Biden tried to do like wiping away student debt which was life changing for the people that had debt wiped away. Doesn’t mean Biden shouldn’t have done more, but my point is the comment is weak af and lacks substance.

      I’ve got one: Biden should’ve legalized DMT. It is a beautiful substance that the government is suppressing because they fear the good it offers.
