K, but he's no longer the president.

How is the current president doing?

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

VERY STABLE, in all caps, apparently. Because that's how stable people type all the time. You're also not supposed to take anything he says seriously, y'know...like every other stable and speaking person. That's how that works.

[-] Gregg@lemm.ee 9 points 5 days ago

Right? Who takes what one of the most powerful people in the world says seriously? If you don’t like it it’s just a prank, bro! Comedy is so back! You’re being sent to Libya or Rwanda or El Salvador for a sketch! Why aren’t you laughing?

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

Yep an Administration is more than just the president. It's the competent people that surround him. Instead of having a president suffering from lapses surrounded by some of the best most competent people. Now we have an idiot surrounded by sycophants and sociopaths. This is so much better/s

As opposed to the sycophants that hid biden's mental decline?

That you think the two are remotely similar, shows how disingenuous you are. That you imply that this was unusual or even noteworthy at this point. Implies your ignorance of even relatively recent history. You do realize you've breached your instances echo chambers.

I never actually advocated for either candidate. But we told you it was going to be a Democrat or Republican regardless of what we wanted. But people like yourself actively ignored what was actually on the ballot. Instead campaigning to assist the fascist. Which is unsurprising. Someone from a pro authoritarian instance feeling more comfortable getting a fellow authoritarian elected.

We all want better. But we'll never achieve it. Because so many of you fail to understand the basic assignment or options available. Doing more harm than good in all the uninformed flailing.

He's trash, but liberals refusing to see the obvious led to where we are, refusing to hold them accountable led to where we are now

[-] Eldritch@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Liberals played their part, that's true. The problem is people like yourself don't acknowledge your part in it.

The current president is doing terrible. But Trump wouldn't be president if Biden hadn't been such a terrible president.

Maybe Biden should have fought for the people he proposed to represent, so that everyone wouldn't be so desperate to see the system burn down that they were willing to vote for Trump.

People talk about Biden's mental decline as if it matters. Trump has mental decline too. One President's handlers were able to pass laws and get shit done, the others' well...

[-] piefood@feddit.online 4 points 4 days ago

Of course it matters. Everyone backing the clearly and obviously mentally unfit Biden is why Trump is in power. Maybe if the Democrats had admitted what was obviously true from the beginning, we wouldn't be stuck with Trump.

Warn us about what ?

I mean ... so what did Biden do as a response ?

Didn't Biden step aside instead of threatening to invade allies ?

Biden was given the same unlimited power from a SCOTUS ruling for any official act the POTUS could not be criminalized. And Biden put aside power and force for the greater good of the Republic.

But then again Biden has always been more a new Cincinnatus than a new Caesar.

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago

Democrats refusing to see what was in front of them led to trump running and winning. They lied about his mental capacity, they lied about a ceasefire, theyve endlessly lied. And those of us pointing it out were accused of helping Republicans. Turns out VBNMW helped trump.

If the Democrats had convinced Biden not to run for reelection (or invoked the 25th Amendment), held a proper primary, nominated a genuinely popular candidate, clearly denounced Israel’s actions, and offered a cohesive, forward-looking platform - one that voters could support rather than just oppose - the US might not be in this mess right now. Alternatively, they could have prosecuted and convicted Trump for treason or inciting insurrection between 2021 and 2024, and barred him from running for office again. In either case, their failure to act decisively has directly contributed to facilitating Trump’s return.

Good thing he wasn't running at the end then

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago

He only backed out because the donor class forced him out

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
