Maybe, I will admit, I have blinders on only sort of like a MAGA has for their moron, I don’t see any decline in Joe Biden. Not a single bit. He is 80 is he not. I am 68 and can’t remember words all the time. I stand up from seated positions like a 98 year old! I am uncoordinated now that I drop things a lot more. As a kid I really had quick reflexes. I played sports when I was younger and always did well. Anyway, I digress. Joe Biden has done such amazing things for our country. I don’t believe another newly elected President had as much a disaster as he did. He has cleaned up so well economic experts have been astounded by the “soft” landing. Btw I don’t feel he is perfect and I disagree with a couple of his policies. Who agrees 100% with anybody? No one, that’s who. The man has a heart of gold, a moral compass as no other, and such care for our country and us Americans. I don’t want to sully this post by bringing the other into this but a perfect opposite of dark stands like no other compared to Biden light!! I can’t believe people bring up Hunter’s pardon at all. The situation was incredibly different from when he said there would be no pardon. A sign of a man of strong character is one who can change his mind when the facts change. President Joe Biden is a hero to the world much less the United States of America. History books will say as much. The ones saying negative stuff just want clicks or are afraid to speak up. You at least see some of his good!
I completely agree with you. Also, I watched the interview with Lawrence O’Donnell and Biden which was a day or so after Biden’s farewell speech and to me there is no greater proof than that interview that Biden is still on top of his game and has all of his marbles.
I know as a 76 YO that aging isn’t for sissies. You have to be tough to age well. And Biden has aged well. He may be a bit stiffer in his movement but at least he knows how to ride a bike which i seriously doubt Trump would be capable of even with training wheels.
I do believe it would have been best if Biden had stuck to his commitment of being a transition POTUS and yet I understand that he did not think his job was quite done which was a poor decision. However likely Trump won because a very large percentage of voters are uninformed, misinformed and I also think many are functionally illiterate.
I will never understand why so many people of average or better intelligence believe the disinformation so easily. Then they stick with it like super glue. It’s a travesty our news programs are no longer bound by truth. Walter Cronkite and all those era newspeople are shaking their head. I would like to know how many of those people heard the bull from the pulpit or only fox entertainment lying channels. It would be interesting but I think surprising because I would bet the pastor. Sent by God!! Ha ha hilarious he would send a non Christian or believer of any religion as their prophet!! People are so dumb acting.
Joe Biden’s legacy at the moment is clouded by the loss of the presidency to a felon and idiot. But is it his fault that a huge swath of our country is enthralled by a clearly contemptible and unabashedly corrupt person whom the rest of us thought had been put into the dustbin of history? Yet through allying himself with the greed of billionaires and pandering to the lowest elements of the human psyche, he slimed his way back into the highest seat of power. Ire should be thrown at the Democratic Party which has not been grooming and training up a stable of excellent candidates from which to choose in a Primary. I don’t blame Joe for not wanting to give the reins over to someone else when he realized who he would be running against—the impulse to serve and save was just too strong. Ire should be laid on a population so ill educated as to not be ready for a capable, moral and strong woman at the helm — it will take decades. Ire should be laid at the flawed concept of the Electoral College, so that running for office gets distorted from a democratic election by the whole people of our country to a scrambling among a few key states, costing obscene amounts of time, money and energy which should best be used creating programs to make American’s lives better. I could go on. But perhaps one legacy of this loss will be to wake us up to how easy it has become to manipulate the masses via an unregulated social media, and how much we will need to reeducate and rededicate ourselves to preserving and strengthening our democratic process. Perhaps we will even now begin to find and hone those individuals who will lead the next generation of voters, and get their faces and names into the public discourse. We owe a ton of gratitude to Kamala Harris for stepping up and stepping into a fight with a psychopath, that was made all the more impossible by factors of world and domestic events beyond her control. And we as a party and as a nation had better take this opportunity realize how easily we can lose our democracy and to use all of our energy and intelligence and dedication to wrest our values and our country back from the brink. Thank you Joe and Kamala.
I respect Joe Biden and felt he did a decent job as President. However, his border policy played right into Trumps hands and the bi-partisan border bill occurred too late in his presidency which I think were enormous strategic errors on his part. Also failing to appreciate the impact inflation was having on the middle class and low income groups while touting economic growth and the unemployment rate put him out of touch with mainstream America. And finally, he had an opportunity to effectively pass the torch and only serve one term and give the democrats an opportunity to go through a primary process in selecting their next leader which again played right into Trump’s hands. Sure there were many things he did that were beneficial to the country but in my opinion, he didn’t do enough to set the democrats up for victory in 2024.

Trump can’t utter a a coherent sentence!!! The 🍊 Julius accomplished nothing!!!
It would be great if all that compassion and understanding was extended to Democrat women, guys.
