Agree with every word. Plus, it was Biden who weaponized and politicized (yeah, what's new there) the FBI against Trump. The Democrats are like bloody-muzzled baying havoc-wreaking hounds of war now. Against everybody in the world except themselves. Gee, I wonder if Manchin's bill that literally undoes anything vaguely green in Biden's bill will be passed......
I thought about talking about the FBI as political Gestapo bit, but if I tried to write about everything bad Biden has done, I'd have to right a full book.
Don't worry about Manchin's grifting provision. The progressive caucus sent a groveling letter to Pelosi asking her to pretty please separate Manchin's provision from the federal budget bill, so you know that it will be included and will pass with the support of every Squad member.
I, of course, agree with you completely. We've had this discussion on a late lamented site (both for the site and the site owner :-( ) and there were very, very early signs carefully ignored by the media during the election cycle. While there was no shortages of mental issues, he introduced his granddaughter as his son on Election Day ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dVlO5-zELE ), and his special interest in Ukraine (so to speak) was shown as he admitted publicly blackmailing Ukraine to get a special prosecutor investigating the company his son worked for fired ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azLKK0xTOFI ).
Joe Biden's recent speech shocked me, including the imagery of red and black. My first thought was of Stepan Bandera, but maybe I'm paying too much attention to Ukraine. Others have reminded us of the red and black colors and their usage of a central European national during the 1930s and early 1940s. There's a picture I've seen on Twitter with Biden making that speech with a well-recognized symbol from that time imposed above him.
But it's the destruction of Ukraine that I especially blame him for. The Maidan revolution and the Minsk accords, unanimously approved by the UN Security Council, occured while Biden was VP, and the primary contact for Ukraine. Though Biden said "diplomacy is at the forefront of American foreign policy" he ignored the diplomatic option and armed a war. 14,000 Ukrainians died during the 2014 and 2015 wars; there are estimates that so far 190,000 or 200,000 Ukrainians have died for Biden's war. It may yet escalate to WW III or go nuclear as Liz Truss, now Prime Minister of Great Britain, says she willing to press the button.
There are 10,000,000 or so refugees from Ukraine; my wife is one of them. She and my daughter managed to leave Ukraine last March. I can't repeat here what she says about Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky.
On the other hand, she asked what I was writing, and I told her I was responding to your post on Joe Biden being the worst President in American history. She said simply "Correct."
I don't think it has occurred to Biden's followers - or even Biden, IMO - that no matter what happens in Ukraine, Putin cannot be forced to resume shipping gas and oil to the EU. Russia, China, India, etc. cannot be forced to revert to paying for energy with dollars. BRICS will continue to grow. SPFS will not be absorbed by SWIFT. If Russia withdraws, Ukraine loses anyway. Russia is no more defeated than the US was when it withdrew from Vietnam. Win or lose, I think this has opened the eyes of a lot of countries as to how the US is eager and willing to sanction anybody for anything. Zelensky will not be, IMO, in a position to dictate terms to Russia, concerning Russia itself. And, no matter what happens, Biden, like Madelyn Albright, will consider hundreds of thousands of deaths acceptable, because those deaths helped achieve US aims. All IMO, of course.
An aside - in a cult nest, there was some pissiness because the death of Queen Elizabeth took media attention away from Biden and his bizarre speech. Which only MSNBC and CNN and a few streaming services carried.
I agree that Putin cannot be forced into doing much of anything by the West, and that Biden and his handlers are too demented or blinded by their own hubris to see that. Putin will go by Stalin's maxim, "An individual death is a tragedy. A million deaths are a statistic."
Putin believes the breakaway Russo-Ukrainian republics and the Black Sea coast must be secured. He would prefer lower casualties, but he will do whatever it takes because he believes it is in Russia's vital national security interests.
Unlike our Ivy League postmodernist neocon chutzpah-filled imperial managers, Europeans will figure out in short order that Putin has called the EU's and NATO's bluff. Many citizens and some politicians already have and are already demonstrating to lift the sanctions on Russia. In Germany, a bunch of them were chanting "Nordstream!" at some high-and-mighty mucky-muck.
I even saw French people with signs calling for "Frexit" and Germans with some reading "NATOexit." Why should they freeze in the cold and the dark to prop up a thuggish regime in Ukraine?
There's definitely a Winter of Discontent coming to Europe. I'm not sure what's going to happen here, at least for the rest of this year. We shall see.
I will admit it took me a long time to realize that they weren't "breakaway Russo-Ukrainian republics." They're actually unionist republics - they didn't support the Maidan revolution.
They also would never have left Ukraine if the Minsk accords had been implemented. Eight years of war by Kyiv with no diplomatic actions gave them no choice.
Ah, yes. Good reminder that Biden's sanctions have successfully destroyed the US dollar as the global currency. That thought didn't even cross my mind until it happened . . .
That may end up being Biden's worst failure for Americans in the long term - but then, there are so many to choose from.
Those are good points. It is foolish to ignore the power and influence of the WEF when their chairman openly brags about having WEF people as heads of state and cabinet departments, especially when he wrote a bloody-damned BOOK describing their objectives, which boils down to killing off enough of humanity that people like him can rule in safety--for them.
Oddly enough, nearly every single wide-eyed "right-wing" conspiracy theory about the Democrats and the government's handling of Covid has been proven fundamentally true. The coordinated assault on our rights guaranteed by the Constitution is real, and I find myself like that Lutheran minister my relative liberated at Dachau.
I am NOT going to eventually say, "First they came for the Trump voters, but I wasn't a Trumper, so I said nothing." No. Some of those folks are my neighbors and FAMILY. I'll stand with them against anyone who wants to trample their free speech and other rights.
Somewhat of a minority view here.Joe is bad,somewhere floating around the same ranks as Buchanan,Ford,Nixon,Poppy Bush..Trump is in a category all his own..but I make the case that the worst president is actually a three way tie:Ronniebillgeorge.
Reagan,as we know,began our downward slide and made trickle down economic policy acceptable even to people who had shunned it before.Bill—and his mommy figure Hillary—enacted many of the policies Ronnie didn’t get to enact but had wanted,like banking deregulation and welfare deform.And George ushered in our current surveillance state and either/or mentality.
These three altered the United States beyond recognition,distorted,destroyed,and corrupted it beyond any hope.

Did I say right instead of write? Oops. What I get for relying on squiggly red lines.

If you judge Biden as a POTUS in comparison to Ike or Truman, I think it to be a mistake. Not just
because these two had a functioning brain, but also because they still had more power. Now we
have the WEF and the Bilderberg group which due to their unbelievable financial power drive the
Western policies. "The New Reset" is not an imagined conspiracy, it is real. The TPP was a first
effort to subdue western governments to the will of the transnational corporations, and thereby lose
their souverainity. Now they have infiltrated most western governments. Look at van der leyen and
the Greens in Germany, look at the UK's new PM or here at Sullivan and Blinken.
All their actions seem to support US world hegemony, while they know that this empire is falling.
For the first time in my life I am grateful to US libertarians, even though I detest their social
policies. Slowly an authoritarian or even totalitarian way has entered most Western countries.
National Security apparati and censorship have almost become acceptable, and the Overton
window is as narrow as a slit. No, I cannot blame Biden for this, because he is just one of their
mouthpieces. The Kiew-Nazi government, which the collective West supports. has openly admitted
to a killing list. Reminds me of Obama's. Thus they exist here too.
Where this all will lead to I don't know, but I have thought for a long time that our POTUSes
are just selected to serve TPTB.
Those are good points. It is foolish to ignore the power and influence of the WEF when their chairman openly brags about having WEF people as heads of state and cabinet departments, especially when he wrote a bloody-damned BOOK describing their objectives, which boils down to killing off enough of humanity that people like him can rule in safety--for them.
