You don't need it The summary was damning. Didn't make a shred of difference
Correct the headline. Biden expressed regret. He doesn't actually feel regret.
Buddy you’re still president. Get to work.
He's the first president with immunity and all he's going to do is absolutely nothing. What a fucking waste of a man.
He literally doesn't even need to worry about polling. He could just snap his fingers and give us $100 Minimum wage, order Trump gone, and then give everyone trans-healthcare with abotions on the side, and then go "Cool, I'm king, deal with it."
AG serves at the will of the president. This whole "woopsie" I regret it! 4 years in is a little silly. How dumb does Biden think we are?
How dumb does Biden think we are?
Have you seen the deflection from his personal choices? From helping to get Clarance Thomas into the SCOTUS by attacking his rape victim of Anita Hill, to personally giving an eulogy for Strom Thurmond, to acting like we're stupid for paying attention to his documented words from "I won't ever pardon my son" to "I'm a one term president, I won't run again."
Biden is either the 3rd most forgetful president in times of convince, behind Trump and Reagan, or he is actively calling us what he is himself.

he should regret so much more
Man, this dude is admitting a lot of regrets but he’s still not trying to prevent more. Needs a couple big hits before he goes.
This is all well and good but I don't see any changes happening and I don't see any lessons being learned.
We voted for Biden, not Garland. Advisors can push him whatever way they want but at the end of the day it's his call. And voters have been sharing every frustration for the last decade or two at getting presidents that don't actually push the real reforms people want.
IMHO, in Biden's place, The smart thing to do would have been go full Bulworth mode the second he dropped out. If he cut the bullshit and started calling everybody out he could endorse a damp paper bag as his successor and they'd get votes.
People voted for Trump because he is a reform candidate. He may not be a reform President (he wasn't the first time) but he talks a lot of reform on the stump.
Hillary was not a reform candidate. Kamala was not a reform candidate. Both lost.
If there is a lesson to be learned here, it's that DNC needs to jettison a lot of the old guard that have been the face of the party for the last 50 years. Get some young people with energy and new ideas and put them in charge.
After the United CEO shooting, it would have been a great time for Democrats to put the public option back on the table. That should never have been dropped from Obamacare. But there is enough sentiment in favor of it that they could probably get it through, or at the very least make Republicans pay in the court of public opinion for stopping it. Yet another wasted opportunity.
He was a Trump pick originally. The fact Biden kept him was so stupid. Fuck Garland, fuck Trump, and fuck Biden.
No, he wasn't. He was Obama's pick for a Supreme court seat. Why are you spreading obvious lies?
And Obama picked him because he was a conservative do nothing that he thought the Republicans could agree on because, and this is important, he is the kind of person that stayed a Republican even when the party turned fascist.
As John McClane so eloquently put it: "welcome to the party, pal!"
Kinda dramatic that this is becoming public news though huh
