I think Dems in the House and Senate believe that no one cares about President Biden anymore

Maybe we think he's a moot point when it comes to the midterms.

Perhaps he doesn't move the "needle"....

But I CARE!!!

Watching Medusa Barbie Gnome testifying, and the Retrumplican Senators are just trashing and lying about President Biden. Blaming him for EVERYTHING. Dem Senators are going after her pretty good, but they seem to let the attacks on President Biden just hang out there.

I guess I get it. Pointing fingers and smearing President Biden reaches the point of diminishing returns for the Retrumplicans. People eventually get sick and tired of leaders that take no responsibility for their own shitshow, but blame someone else.

But it fucking bothers me.

I'm sure that President Biden is the kind of leader that doesn't give a fuck....that he doesn't need defending....that it's winning elections and stopping these fascist fucks that matters most to him, but it bothers me.

Maybe pollsters show that defending President Biden won't impact the polls. Maybe pollsters show that Retrumplicans constantly smearing President Biden is a loser for Retrumplicans, but it bothers me.

The way President Biden brought this country back from the brink and worked his ass off to restore some semblance of decency and normalcy...the way he tried to show us our Democracy could be saved and restored....

There ought to be buildings named after him in DC.

It bothers me to watch him become a whipping post for these fascist asspickles.

The slander and smearing they have done about him is nothing like the real man. You would never meet a nicer guy really. And in Delaware, we have name things after him, train station, Turnpike rest stop, etc. He is a favorite son here. I can’t listen to any more of these lies about Joe Biden, who is always very nice to me. And is an honest and ethical person.

After a lifetime of service to his country and this is how he is treated? He never tried to enrich himself or his family and he was always honest with the American people.

Though I take it very personally, I know that he must realize it comes with the territory. Still it has to really sting to be treated so poorly after all he's done. I think he is an amazing person.

Tue Mar 3, 2026, 10:58 AM

I honor the man and his dedication to taking care of the people. His dedication to Constitutional and Democratic principles were unmatched. He made mistakes: he chose the wrong attorney general, he had coms fossils on his staff, and completely misjudged the GOP viciousness, but he tried! And that’s more than I’ve ever seen any GOP do for this country in 63 years of working class struggle.

I think everyone has pretty much closed the book on Joe Biden. They have their opinions, they aren’t changing them now and they want the the GOP to address the concerns that they have now, in 2026. The poverty, cruelty and warmongering is not being addressed by incessant whining about Joe Biden. I have tuned out the regime and its slimy minions. I think everyone else has too. Democrats shouldn’t be defending Joe Biden. They should be telling the truth loudly and often, and trust the voters to identify which party is speaking to their concerns.

That said, I’d like to see a “Thank You, Joe Biden!” thread on this site to list his accomplishments. I can’t be here consistently enough to participate, but we should have one!

Rant over. Good day!

More IRS agents going after the scofflaws, and recouping millions. And now it is undone, while we have a huge debt.

And that's just one of his major accomplishments.

it's the mark of a chronic loser. He's been in office for over a year and he's still blaming Biden for his own lousy economy. My guess is that he will continue to do so until he finds himself on the other side of dirt. His sycophants, toadies and lackeys have learned from him and continue down the same path so as not to incur his wrath.

“History will be kind to Joe Biden (as it DAMN WELL BETTER BE!!!!).
Trump and his followers will be remembered for their villainy.”
But the phrase “thieving, lying, and duplicitous” needs to be added, right before the word “villainy”.

What these asshats say about him. It takes a special kind of derangement to continually try and demean someone like it’s a game.

In the end history is going to judge Biden and Trump. I don’t think the later is going to come out better than the former. And in the end, these casual insults are going to come back to roost, mainly on the groups in this country that think this is funny. I for one hope if Democrats regain control, they start putting in more structural changes that prevent tax resources from going to red areas that consume more tax revenue than they generate.

Just like it is Hillary and Bill Clinton testifying behind pedo protecting House doors, but pedo protectors Orange Dementia and Melania with tons of info are not asked to appear.

Tell me Mr. Trump- How much did you pay Epstein to acquire Melania?

Do those outbursts of yours about Hannibal Lector have anything to do with what you have seen in your life?

I love and respect Joe, but let's be honest, he had one job to accomplish and that was to keep Trump out of the White House and he failed. You can say what you want, but he should have fired Garland so all and all he was a failure.

... Republicans have nothing positive or constructive to offer. NOTHING. They get their rocks off by tearing down anything and everything that decent people build to help their neighbors and communities, and taking credit for the accomplishments of others.
They attract mean-spirited, stupid people like flies to shit, because they ARE shit. They lie incessantly because only lies can support and defend their diseased belief system, which is based on greed and malice.
They deliberately appeal to the vile, hate-filled people who invariably blame others for their own shortcomings by targeting a victim who is the polar opposite of their own character – like Joe Biden – and vilifying that individual without offering a nanoparticle of fact to justify their attacks.
Attacking someone, ANYONE, is what gets their lowlife "base" good and riled up, and sooner or later one of 'em will vent their inchoate resentments with violence. These are the people that ICE flags for recruitment, people devoid of conscience, who have been ruthless bullies for their entire worthless lives. The REALLY bad ones are groomed for politics; the "Empty" Greenes, the "Tugjob" Boeberts, the "Carnival" Cruzes. The list in long, indeed.
As much as I despise Republicans, I gotta say, their long game has been very effective. Over time, they have gutted education programs, because the poorly educated are easy to manipulate; they've never developed critical thinking skills, and that was by design. Keep 'em ignorant, poor, and angry, and give 'em someone to hate. They don't need a reason, just a target.
This is what we're up against. They want a fight? Let's give 'em one they'll never forget. Yes, there will be blood. But a few battle scars are better than living on your knees.
Excuse me. I gotta go punch a wall.

I'm not into the cult of personality thing. That doesn't put food on the table or clean air in one's lungs or educate the next generation. Policies do.

By all means, let's champion policies which Biden also championed if they are good ones. But that isn't about him. That's about good policies.

Government Of, By, and For The People -- and which policies best serve our interests and future generations -- should be based on a thorough discussion in the realm of ideas, facts and practical solutions to achieve common goals.

Not personality and media notoriety. By all means we need great leaders who can articulate, persuade, demonstrate their qualifications, and make wise decisions. None that I know of have been perfect. Sometimes they deserve our everlasting respect, and I think Joe Biden is a good man who has earned that, even though he has made some big mistakes.

I joined DU in 2022 during the run-up to the neocon invasion of Iraq. We knew about PNAC and the systematic campaign of LIES to convince the public that Saddam was in cahoots with the 9/11 terrorists, and posed a grave threat of WMD with "mushroom clouds" over American cities.

At least GW Bush, as much as he's earned my everlasting hate, went to Congress for authorization with the Iraq War Resoltion. That's when we really needed Democratic leaders to step up and keep us out of that senseless war of choice. I looked to leaders like John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton to speak truth to power.

When it came to the vote in October 2022, slightly less than half the Democrats in the House & Senate voted for it. But Kerry, Biden, and Clinton voted for it. I was devastated, and vowed that no Democrat who voted for war in Iraq would EVER get my support in a Democratic primary.

I held to that vow until 2020, when I deemed that Joe Biden had the best chance to beat Trump. He became a very good, though not great, president. Then he made the worst and most consequential mistake of his political career. He decided to run for a 2nd term, at the end of which he would be 86 years old.

I still respect the man, but I'm not the least upset if he's not invited to have a role in future elections. If that would help us win, fine, though I doubt it. We need younger, strong, smart leaders to carry the torch going forward in these most perilous of times.
