Biden isn’t responsible for any of that though. The courts should have stopped Trump nothis oppenent in the election

edit: To all thinking Biden could or should have directly intervened to prevent Trump from running how do you think he can legally do so without being seen as a dictator?

Biden could have used an "official act" to prove a point. He's old and could have made the sacrifice for the greater good since by the time the courts were done he is on his death bed. Would have been interesting to watch.

The CIA has toppled democracies around the world. So its bullshit to say the president has his hands tied...

If a leader utilizes the intelligence agencies to put down opposition politicians then they are an authoritarian dictator. Biden isn’t that stupid.

Be careful when you fight monsters. Biden was fucked either way if I'm being honest, I'd even bet a handful of cash that a prominent Dem, perhaps even Biden, gets merked within two years.

Youre right. Should just let a traitor waltz in and be the authoritarian dictator. We'll just put Biden in the history book beside Hindenburg.
