Trump reacts to Biden dropping out, calling him the 'worst president'
In an interview with NBC News, Trump said that “there has never been a president who has done such damage to our country” as Biden.
He’s lost his edge.
He’s becoming more of a Fox News grandpa and it takes away from the smarmy asshole businessman character people were drawn to.
His suit looks like he's slept in it for a week
nice honeypot
Biden’s most important achievements may be that he rescued the presidency from Trump, resumed a more traditional style of presidential leadership and is gearing up to keep the office out of his predecessor’s hands this fall
So he's up against "worst guy ever" and only came out 14th? I'm noticing a shocking lack of policy or achievements that are not "be somebody who is not named Donald Trump".
Diagnosis:
Biden's was a pretty competent presidency if you ignore the little detail of Genocide, which, to be completely fair, the republicans have been pretty open about how they'd like to wipe out all life in Gaza and not stop there. In a lot of ways, he's probably the most competent and effective executive and cabinet we've had since 2000. He's accomplished a lot of good things, and it's a shame he was encouraged to stand aside for Hillary in 2016. Is everything rosy, peachy, and perfect in the USA? Not by a long shot. We've got decades of damage to unfuck, and Biden has basically just started the process, but at least he started it, which is more than could be said of his predecessors. Biden is 10^100 times the president that that fucking Bozo was and would be.
All that said, I think Biden stepping down was the right call for him and for the country, and I'm happy for him to have done so.
Biden has begun the process of unfucking a growing critical mass of open fascists, a looming climate apocalypse, a complete capture of the judiciary by far right Christian theocrats, an ongoing pandemic, record levels of inequality, a housing crisis, a crackdown on labor rights, attacks against LGBTQ+ communities, one of the most blatant genocides of our time in Gaza, and mass imperialism by...
checks notes
...openly accelerating or outright ignoring all of those issues.
I'm begging liberals to remember that oil executives have names and physical addresses, and that Biden has full permission from the Supreme Court to unilaterally drone strike them, and start acting accordingly.
Enumerate the forms of damage he has started the process of unfucking. A top 10 list would be more than sufficient.
I have to do stuff and stop procrastinating eventually, so I don't think I'll be giving you a top ten, but here's a few that I know of:
-
Banned non-compete agreements, which is a really good thing for workers.
-
Started investing into rebuilding the US' passenger rail network, including establishing or investigating multiple HSR initiatives across the US (Atlanta to Raleigh, several hooking into Chicago, TXRail, etc), several new or restored medium range Amtrak routes, and money to help cities start new or expand existing transit networks. The US was built on railroads, there's just no excuse for how we've allowed passenger rail to languish for 100 years and just ignored HSR for the last fifty. It's a big deal, and there's a lot more to go, we can get into this more of you want.
-
The Biden administration is dolling out a billion dollars to support freeway removal initiatives across the US, to bring cities back together and reduce redlining by infrastructure.
-
Student Loan Forgiveness: doesn't fix the root cause, but it's a baby step in the right direction. It's more than students have got in a long time.
-
IIRC, Biden ended the policy of seperating kids from their families at the border. He's left A LOT to be desired here, but at least he stopped the cartoon villain levels of cruelty.
There's more that I can't think of ATM. If I want to procrastinate some more, I'll look them up.
I want to be clear, though, while we need much much more aggressive action, Biden's has probably been the most effective presidency in the last 20 years. Which is kind of sad, tbh, but I'll take what I can get.

Oh please go fuck yourself to death, blueMAGA
You and others like you are the reason why nothing will ever meaningfully improve until we're all dead from climate change
It's a bit. Chill the fuck out.
A competent presidency in the form of more effectively stewarding imperialism
Under no circumstances do you have to hand it to him
