Biden is going to be the guy who gets away with everything in his life.

Genocide in Gaza? Just dementia, it wasn’t really my decision.

Trying to coup me as the presidential nominee? How about I directly announce Kamala as your nominee and watch how I become the only person in history to have beaten Trump.

You want to hurt my son Hunter? I’m gonna pardon him in front of everyone. Whatcha gonna do about it, huh??

He’s really going to get away with everything. Life is not fair.

If the deal currently being discussed goes through, it would be a result of Trump's election. Biden didn't do shit to cause this deal to happen.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they held it until Trump is inaugurated.

Not even being hyperbolic when I say Biden is literally the worst president we've ever had. Genociding piece of shit.

In all of American history, lotsa old white men with much higher body counts. Biden's banal evil doesn't hold a torch to someone like Andrew Jackson.

In modern history, I'm pretty sure George W still beats out Biden on every measure, The only difference being George W could draw a clock.

He is an evil decrepit monster, but within the Pantheon of evil that are former US presidents, I'm not sure he breaks the top third most evil.

I think the only reason we don't have a worse view of Bush is the lack of recording devices among US troops and any devices that could record anything were heavily monitored. Abu Ghraib was only the tip of the iceberg and it was only found out because:

  1. The guards had cameras they weren't allowed to have

  2. The footage was accidentally given to a journalist

I'd be more surprised to find out Abu Ghraib was an isolated incident, rather than SOP for the US military. Just yesterday someone posted a comment from a soldier who used candy to trick kids into setting off explosives.

Correct. Now with Trump in who sold off the West Bank for $100m they can move onto that rather than fighting a losing battle in Gaza.
