AI Summary:
Joe Biden uses his farewell address to warn about an "oligarchy" of ultra-wealthy individuals. The address bore a striking resemblance to that of former President Dwight Eisenhower's final address in 1961. Biden's remarks come after some of the world’s richest individuals and titans of its technology industry have flocked to Trump’s side in recent months. Biden's speech is the latest in a series of remarks on domestic policy and foreign relations he has delivered that are intended to cement his legacy. It was a tacit acknowledgement of the trillions of dollars Biden spent on domestic initiatives, which Americans have largely criticised saying they have yet to feel the impact or see the effectiveness of his policy. Biden was once the nation’s youngest senator at 30 years old. He was elected to represent his home state of Delaware in 1972. After serving two terms with Obama, Biden returned to centre stage as unlikely Democratic nominee.

You know if he ran his election like that he would've had much better chances.

Waaaaay too late in the game.

Hey Joe, fuck yourself.

The greatest legacy he'll be remembered for is that he didn't do a thing about it.

Bro tried to have his Eisenhower moment of giving a farewell warning about a problem he helped create.

Every idiot president that does this will now be known as having your Biden moment

Hate him all you want. He was legislatively the most progressive president in most of our lifetimes and we traded him in after one term for an anti-democratic felon rapist.

Lookin' good America.

But that's not what people care about. People care about the fact that a man with dementia had the big red button to end all of our species forever.

And now we have another senior citizen with dementia who is also an anti-democratic felon rapist who has the big red button to end all of our species forever.

Americans are stupid.
