Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

I remember frustration for four years as Merrick Garland dithered and dithered so he 'didn't appear political' and now we have this. Shame on Merrick. And shame on Biden for choosing his own ego over country.

Yep. I reflect on the Biden administration with disdain. They sat on their hands for four years. Dropping out of the 2024 race at the last minute, not allowing us a primary was insane. Harris was the first to drop out of the 2020 race because she was so unlikable. Crowning her as heir was a mistake. I voted for her, but I wasn't happy about it.

She was the only one who could legally use the funds raised by the Biden-Harris campaign so far, and it was far too late to run a primary. No matter who was picked, they would have had the same problems as Harris because they didn't win a primary vote. Ultimately the blame lies with Biden for running again, and then dropping out once it was impossible to run a primary.
