      Nah but Biden also didn’t make sure to choose an AG to actually put the motherfuckers in the Epstein files behind bars, either. It’s not like the Epstein information magically appeared when Trump became President, he literally ran in 2024 on the fact that Democrats hadn’t released the files. This information was available when Biden was President. Epstein was (very likely) murdered while Trump was President the first time.

      So, fuck Biden anyway, he was focusing on all this “decorum” shit when it comes to a fucking network of pedophiles and rampant corruption and oops didn’t want to make it “lOoK PoLiTiCaL” to go after criminality. Now the same people they didn’t want to look political prosecuting don’t give one single fuck about looking political in prosecuting their perceived enemies.

      Fuck, Biden was literally handed a free pass when the Supreme Court ruled that when a President does it, it’s not a illegal. He could have done any number of things to prevent this with the backing of a Supreme Court decision that was tailored to support Trump but technically applied to any President.

      Democrats may not be in the files, but they sat on their fucking asses writing strongly worded letters and throwing up their hands going “but it’s too hard to make sure they go down! Gears of justice turn slowly, so slowly that Trump can be voted back into office even with all this hanging over him!”

      It’s a crock of shit, Democrats are culpable for not taking this fight to the mat and instead being wishy washy limp dicks who handed over the reigns of the government to corruption twice in a row.

          The actions of the Democratic party don’t even warrant the term. Look at Schumers and Jefferies response to the literal kidnapping of a sovereign head of state. They were basically mad Trump didn’t do the right paper work, but fully supported the action.

        Biden had all kinds of programs that looked out for US citizens and built up our healthcare and education.

        To run a successful casino, you need to make your customers feel like they’re winning and you’re losing. Trump is incapable of that.

        There were at least two “Biden pooped themselves” incidents. One was the DDay memorial. The second was an audience with the pope.

          I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves. I mean, it happens.

          What I do care about is if our president has such a fragile ego that they’ll lie and punish other people because they shit their pants. The kind of person who will accuse everyone else of shitting their pants, but only because that person’s own pants are constantly weighed down by dookies. The kind of person who can’t forgive themselves for a little brown downtown, so they steal and extort an entire country, just so that they can extort other countries and become friends with other people who love lying about their bowel movements.

            I honestly don’t even care if our president accidentally shits themselves.

            And the problem with that, is that other people do. And if you don’t pick a candidate that is acceptable to a broad enough coalition to win the election: you don’t win the election.

            Its not a matter of what you’ll accept out of a candidate; its a matter of what the electorate will accept as a candidate. And while you might be accepting of pants-shitter to make some of the most impactful decisions that will affect almost every person on the planet, the American people wont. You being willing to accept less makes you irrelevant; you aren’t a vote we need to work to get. Which is fine. Its your vote. Do what you will. You don’t need to have standards.

            But, by putting the bar so low and accepting a pants-shitter, you sabotage our collective ability to actually get that person into office. It should be obvious to you now, that not enough other people wanted to elect a pants-shitter. And as a cohort, the Biden apologists, by insisting that everyone else lower their standards to that of a geriatric who was barely present, these people are saboteurs who kneecapped our ability to stop Trump.

            And since you have such low standards, I expect that you should be willing to accept that your view doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be weighted as highly as people who need something more, like a specific set of policies or a certain level of competency. We don’t need to work for your vote: you’ll vote for a pants-shitter. This is great because it lets us narrow down the field to candidates for people who do have some standards, for example, that they don’t want to vote for someone who is an advocate for genocide them as a people. Or who want police reform. Or any number of other issues. Literally any ones opinion should be weighted more highly, since, like you said, you’ll basically vote for anyone, even a barely walking, senile geriatric, who shits their pants on stage.

              Biden would have released the file if Israel was not involved . Biden prefer to protect Israel over revealing Trump involvement with Epstein . Not to say that Trump is not also involved in supporting Israeli genocidal war
