    Honestly the amount of “liberal media” spiking the football on Biden is getting to be just a bit…much.

    If you were someone that had slept the last 100 years, woke up and consumed much of today’s media, you would the distinct impression that he is equally as bad as Taco, and while that impression is wrong, the fact that it’s there is no accident on the part of the “liberal media” - it’s very much a feature, not a bug.

      He’s the one that handed TACO the election. While not equally bad, it’s a solid second place.

            Jackson did the trail of tears. Wilson was a member of the KKK. Hoover took the economy into a Trump level nosedive.

            Listen Biden really fumbled here, but we’ve had some abysmal presidents.

              Wilson refounded the KKK, he wasn’t just a member. He also authored Southern Revisionist History, funded and screened Birth of a Nation at the White House, and used the power of the presidency to erect a bunch of statues of people that specifically said they shouldn’t have any sort of memorials because they were traitors. Not to mention the insurrection and sedition act that allowed him tyrannical powers.

              I’d say Jackson and Wilson are tied for worst, but Trump is doing his damndest to be worse.

              And yet the country recovered from all of those things and remained a republic. I think what Trump is doing now will be much longer lasting. He’s doing all of those things and now, deporting people he doesn’t like, cozies up to the KKK, and ruining the economy. He’s also started cold wars with long time allies and started a civil war by sending armies from neighboring states into states he doesn’t like.

          Yes… You’ve clearly been sleeping the past two years… He was rejected by voters over his unwavering genocide support, he and KH and the Democratic party are 100% to blame for Trump, and they did nothing of value to stop him after he already tried to overthrow the government FOUR YEARS EARLIER.

          Stay pacified, stay in the cult.

            Lmao you’re reaching quite a bit on my own opinions here.

            Once again, in no way am I defending Biden. There are just way more people I’d put above him for this mess.

              There are people that were nastier, but name one other person that’s responsible for more death…

                How about Trump? Or Netanyahu for that matter since it was abundantly clear he was not going to work with the Biden administration once Trump was welcomed back? Or any of the republican politicians who, for years, have said things behind Trumps back only to cower in support of him and continue to support him and Israel (since you want to keep focusing on that issue alone it seems) despite what is clearly happening there?

                Again, the mainstream Democratic party/Biden/whoever certainly bears a level of responsibility for where we are. But most responsible? Nah. It’s clear they aren’t in sync with what the grassroots of their party and frankly the US wants but this is the kinda Whataboutism that is helping to normalize what the GOP is doing to the country.
