Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And how does it look when he fires the guy investigating his son? That's the same shit we derided trump for doing... tinkering with the Justice Department which has long operated with a high degree of independence for exactly these reasons.
No win situation for Biden, who assumed he would get another term in office. Don't pretend it isn't anything but.
The minute he nominated a rightwing AG it became a no win sitaution of his own making. So you are just assuming Bidens a straight up idiot rather than him appointing Garland out of a desire to get Trump out of trouble. Hrm, well, I accept your logic that he may just be an epic moron instead of corrupt and playing the dems for fools.
Still-- He sure does have a lot of pride in "negotiating" with the right-- where he golly-gee-shucks tends to give them more than they even are bargaining for: https://theintercept.com/2023/05/23/biden-debt-ceiling-harry-reid-mitch-mcconnell/
He also generally takes rightwing positions, has decades of racist statements and decades of anti abortion and anti gay rights, so I think him faking being a blue player is not out of the question.
Biden is a 2000 Republican, that's how far the Democrats have moved backwards in being "progressives".
