    Legacy?

    This is his and the parties legacy. They made this. it’s a direct result of how first the governed, and then campaigned.

      Exactly. His legacy is not doing what he promised, not being that bridge to the next generation. Only giving up his lust for being president when it was too late.

        Its beyond the scope of my comprehension, how you can call Trump a fascist one week, and then congratulate him winning the next.

          same with harris congratulating him. they just can’t get over that “we have to be better than them”.

            This has the right idea, but they still would be better even if they didn’t. Maybe even more better.

              It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?

              Yeah, they could conduct a peaceful transfer of power without the congratulations. They would be ruthlessly mocked for being sore losers, but they would be internally consistent at least.

                Who cares at this point, they’re already ruthlessly mocked, and it’s not like they lost a bet, they’re handing the keys to the nation over to a massive fire that plans on destroying the country for monetary gain. Fuck em.

          It’s easier when you’re a fascist that only relinquished power when the mob was at the door.

    I just thought the headline by the guardian and the photo they chose of smiling Biden was hilarious. It made me LOL. Could’ve been an onion headline?

      And this wonderful line: “The last meeting of these men, combined age 159, in effect ended Biden’s political career…”

      Indeed. No one gives a flying fuck about any politician’s “legacy”. How about some concern for the future of this country, FFS.

    You have one party led by a Nazi, you have a Nazi party.

    If you have one party led by a Nazi, and the other party invites and allows “peaceful” talks, you have two Nazi parties.

    Trump is a Nazi, acting like you’re just doing your job of transition of power means you’re handing the keys to the Nazis.

    I just don’t see any reason he should have had the fireside chat. It’s not like he needs to call Trump names on the way out the door, but to pretend that there’s any kind of respect from Trump to the Democrats, that’s just more of the same b******* that got the Democrats here in the first place. The fact is that Donnie and his hooligans don’t give a damn about human decency.

    at this point, I’m guessing he must be glad his legacy in the middle east will be fulfilled.

    Joe Biden Circa 2024: “I don’t wanna give up this beautiful office chair in this weird oval shaped office yet, gimme 4 more years to sit on this chair… hmm what was my name again? welp, cant remember… but this chair is so nice!”
