Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

It feels like a lifetime since Joe Biden was in the Oval Office, such is the turmoil and transformation unleashed since he went home to Delaware.

But one person in Washington never stops obsessing about the 46th president — his predecessor and successor.

Donald Trump rarely appears in public without complaining about Biden’s policies or flinging an insult at his mental or physical capacity.

Just like when he blamed Obama for everything during his first term.

Toward the end he was blaming future Biden.

God, the amount of times MAGA went on about Hunter was ridiculous.

Well, just like the old story goes.

Guy takes over as CEO and is told by his predecessor that he left two letters for him in his desk, and he tells his successor

"If you are ever up against the wall and don't know what to do, read the first letter. If it ever happens again, read the 2nd letter"

So the new CEO finds himself in a bind and reads the first letter "Blame everything on me" the letter says

So, he blames the old man and everything blows over fine.

Later, he finds himself in a real mess. Feeling reassured, he pulls out the 2nd letter and reads it, and it says...

"Sit down, write two letters."

Trump's been riding that first letter pretty hard. He needs to sit down and write two letters.

Must suck for him that he's illiterate

He got a break so he got to blame Obama first and now he gets to blame Biden.

[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh and Hunter Biden's laptop from hell.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He's still talking about that.

[–] Embargo@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

And it makes me laugh every time.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

It is actually blame anyone but me.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Biden enacted moronic tariffs?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

No but Biden helped boost the economy on a long recovery after Covid, set us up for the future with a huge investment in long neglected infrastructure, and gave us hope for domestic manufacturing by investing in upcoming technologies.

You can see how Trump would want to undo that. /s
