The gravy train could've kept on rolling with Harris but no people decided 2.5 years of discomfort was worth what may amount to a decade or more of pain

He, his party, and all of those that voted for him. Never forget.

Because his "handlers" were actually somewhat competent people who could keep the train moving along. Harris would have done the same. The issue with trump 2 is the amount of inept synchopants going along. You need a baseline of competence to run a country.

I guess the silver lining is for those with an extremely long time horizon there will never be a better time to buy some awesome companies on the cheap

Biden could barely form a sentence.

And yet he was far more understandable than the verbal diarrhea Trump spews.

I couldn't care less. Biden never did anything senile in terms of actual policy or executive power. He had an intelligent, capable team who he was humble enough to actually listened to.

Harris was polling way better than Biden and she still lost. The Dems mistake was running Biden at all in 2024 instead of an open primary. The VP taking over for the president is their job.

We beat that horse to death back in November and December. Yeah they fucked up their campaign. That doesn’t let everyone off the hook for enabling this mess that’s currently happening.

The economic pain was already clearly there under trump's first term even without covid. It kept up during Bidens. Sitting presidents tend to do poorly during times of economic pain.

And market was doing great. That's not what I meant. I meant people's everyday life. People were feeling pain at the grocery store, at walmart, etc.

The us recovered from a pandemic under Biden better than any other nation on earth. Policies take years to show effect. Well some don't look at this one rofl

They take time to show positive effect. It’s much quicker and easier to destroy something when left unchecked

I could really do with sleepy right about now.

u/Zavender 19h ago

He was called Sleepy Joe because you could sleep easy at night.

u/TwoZeroTwoThree 16h ago

No. It was because he was asleep at the wheel.

He’s in the Natural History Museum

A president sleeping at the table doing nothing would be better for the country than what has happened in the last month..
