        Biden had all kinds of programs that looked out for US citizens and built up our healthcare and education.

        To run a successful casino, you need to make your customers feel like they’re winning and you’re losing. Trump is incapable of that.

        He did willfully neglect putting one in prison, while telling his citizens what a threat he’d be if not imprisoned, and elected again, though. Not super generous of him.

      Nah but Biden also didn’t make sure to choose an AG to actually put the motherfuckers in the Epstein files behind bars, either. It’s not like the Epstein information magically appeared when Trump became President, he literally ran in 2024 on the fact that Democrats hadn’t released the files. This information was available when Biden was President.

      So, fuck Biden anyway, focusing on all this “decorum” shit when it comes to a fucking network of pedophiles and rampant corruption but oops didn’t want to make it “lOoK PoLiTiCaL” to go after criminality.

      Democrats may not be in the files, but they sat on their fucking asses writing strongly worded letters and throwing up their hands going “but it’s too hard to make sure they go down! Gears of justice turn slowly, so slowly that Trump can be voted back into office even with all this hanging over him!”

      It’s a crock of shit, Democrats are culpable for not taking this fight to the mat and instead being wishy washy limp dicks who handed over the reigns of the government to corruption twice in a row.

        It’s not even his appointment of Garland, though, who is equally guilty. Trump could have been Biden’s Al Copone, who Hoover made his personal mission to take down. It’s ultimately the leader’s job to protect their citizens, and he was apparently too lazy.

        There were at least two “Biden pooped themselves” incidents. One was the DDay memorial. The second was an audience with the pope.

          I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.

          What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.

            I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves.

            And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.

            Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you can acceptable pants-shitter, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will.

            But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage your ability to actually get that person into office, since, well obviously, not enough other people want to elect a pants-shitter. Since you have such low standards, you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency.

              That’s some impressively aggressive ableist language dripping throughout your comment. I assume your words come from anger and not thinking about perspectives other than the one that upsets you the most. Lots of people shit their pants, it wasn’t something that our last two presidents invented.

              Behold, a president who needed significant assistance, because he’d otherwise have shit his pants. And possessed the kind of personality I mentioned where he wouldn’t have made pointing out other people’s poopie pants his entire identity:

              FDR

                Okay, but it’s not like these are people with conditions and injuries that cause a disability. They’re just so god damn old they have allegedly lost bowel control.

                That certainly happens to many with age, but if you are old enough to have lost bowel control from age alone I’m going to question if that advanced age has not effected their mental capacity.

                Our leaders need to mentally competent. Suffering physical symptoms of advanced age makes it seem like they are/were not

                  We know its not in good faith and they’re showing their whole ass with their response. They don’t want to be responsible for the fact that in carrying water for these Dems they paved the way for fascism.

              Biden would have released the file if Israel was not involved . Biden prefer to protect Israel over revealing Trump involvement with Epstein . Not to say that Trump is not also involved in supporting Israeli genocidal war
