He is a kind, decent, caring, compassionate man who did his absolute best to make life better for ALL Americans, even those who didn't vote for him and people have to throw all this garbage at him. Deplorable? They're a thousand times worse than deplorable. It makes me sick to see such an honorable man treated so shabbily. And for what? To sell books? To get your face on the news?
Shame on them. Shame on every damn one of them.

4 the Democrats didn't fight for Joe.
Had liberals fought for Joe as hard as GOP fight for Trump, it wouldn't be an issue. I may be impossible for liberals to fight for Joe like they fight for Trump because the Democratic party isn't a cult.
The GOP is a death cult. The mothership will soon land . . .

The GOP may be a death cult but their goal is to take all of us with them.

(2,360 posts)I know indies and Dems who think his decline was known way before the debate. They still voted for Harris, but trying to dissuade them of the idea that Biden's "condition" wasn't covered up goes nowhere. It's a deeply entrenched belief and its going to be hard to change peoples minds. Especially now after the cancer announcement.

(29,207 posts)No one can point to one single policy deck that indicated mental decline. He wasn't appointing unqualified lunatics to positions they didn't even want. He wasn't constantly being caught in baseless lies. He wasn't swindled into taking a used jet off Qatar's hands or showing doctored video to South Africa's president.
Yeah, he had some neuropathy in his feet. He tired more easily after a thirteen country trip. His stammer was a bit more pronounced. He didn't recognize an aging George Clooney (who has changed significantly in the past few years).
He didn't make me great each day with existential dread, either.

There is a criminal rapist in the WH wrecking and looting the nation. THAT'S the story.
Oh, and Biden was a great president.

On Facebook hear them scream about the "Biden Crime Family" & how Biden laid the blueprint for all the shit that's gonna hit the fan.
There's already the "Trump can't undo Biden's damage" crap going on in the media.
Make no mistake. They gonna do their damnest to scapegoat him.

... attention away from the mental health issues displayed by Crooked Donald. It's not normal to complain to the Saudi Arabian leader and reporter-killer about Biden and the "rigged" election, or to the South African leader about ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Years ago, they mastered a new trick. They stand at a podium in the House or Senate chambers giving a speech, and it is in the middle of the night, with no one else there but a few staff and their video cameraman....The public sees it and they think he/she is addressing the entire Senate or House......

AZProgressive
(29,518 posts)They're making a big scandal over his old age but I knew all this going into the election that's why I didn't mind if Kamala Harris took over when I voted for him in 2020. I only have one big complaint about Biden's Presidency is when it comes to Israel-Palestine. He had a lot of resignations in the state department over it. I still voted for Harris because I didn't want to make things worse like they are now with Trump but the media doesn't care about that part of Biden's Presidency. Instead they are making a big deal & claiming that there was a "coverup" over Biden's mental decline.

(5,817 posts)It was more harmful that many are willing to admit. The betrayal and the treachery and the kneecapping and blood-in-the-water is what started the sharks circling and their feeding frenzy. ICU ... do not want to admit the impact and would rather blame it on other things, nipick, split hairs and fault find. That's fine. I live in the real world, however.
>> "I still voted for Harris because..."
Oh, that's good to hear. I appreciate the effort. What a relief. In spite of everything and strongly held reservations, you "still voted for Harris". Nice. ~ Thank you.

(97,779 posts)As someone who has watched them batter Hillary for the past 40 years, you wonder if they ever get tired. The only answer I have is, Apparently not. When Hillarys soul has joined the angels, GOP operatives will still be kicking her corpse around.
The GOP in all its iterations long ago devolved into a stinking mess.

People love Joe Biden, and they are insanely jealous. You cant change THAT by executive order, and it drives them crazy.
usonian
(17,846 posts)They're jealous AF, because he's everything they can't rise out of the mud to be.
He's the exact contradiction to their perverted and blasphemous false "shithouse Jesus".
Considering all the parables, Joe has acted in their spirit, and the sons of "Stan" the exact opposite.
Their lives are lies and Joe's life is an example of unselfishness and service to others even after he lost a wife, a daughter, and a son, grief that would crush a lesser person.
People with no substance and no character despise true virtue.
They got Barabbas.

Trump will probably try to fit the funeral between rounds of golf.
I wish I could be alive 50 years from now, so I could see how history portrays this pathetic excuse of a human being.
