Fair Weather Democrats, Republican Hypocrites, and media pundits are at it again.
Disparaging President Joe Biden because he did not get out of the Presidential race sooner because of his age and because he pardoned his son Hunter after he said he would not.
Newsflash to those Fair Weather Democrats and Media Pundits.
If age was a factor in this election, Donald Trump would not be the President-Elect.
If pardons were a factor in this election, twice impeached and 34 times convicted Donald Trump, with his pardon of cronies and accused criminals from within and outside his first Administration, would not be the President-Elect.
These are the same people who overlooked Trump’s failed Presidency, two impeachments, what he and his people did at the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021, and criminal convictions.
Two more points.
To those people who think Joe Biden has given an excuse for Trump to justify future pardons like those for the people who launched the January 6, 2021, Domestic Insurrectionist attack on the Nation’s Capitol Attack, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Trump is going to issue those pardons no matter what President Biden did.
Furthermore, if bad debate performances indicated who would win the presidency, Kamala Harris would be picking her cabinet right now because she crushed Donald Trump in their one debate and he was too chicken sh-t to do another one with her.
Fair weather and bed-wetting Democrats are in this writer’s opinion a contributing factor to why they lost this Presidential election.
Instead of effectively countering Trump’s continued avalanche of lies and the history of his failed two impeachment Presidency in communities across the country, these people did a circular firing squad on Mr. Biden who is ranked by historians in the top third of United States Presidencies.
Mr. Trump is ranked last.
Another reason why Americans should be exposed to more education in history, government, current events, and economics.
Instead of building up the achievements of the Biden/Harris Administration and more ably broadcasting their plans for the future in the areas of the country that Biden bested Trump in, these fair weather and bed-wetting Democrats played right into MAGA’s hands by doing Trump’s work for them.
President Joe Biden, compared to recent American Chief Executives, has a remarkable record of achievements to boast about including:
- A record number of Minority and Women Judicial Appointees to the Bench.
- Close to 16 million jobs were created.
- Overseeing the end of the Coronavirus Pandemic with the American Rescue Plan which distributed vaccinations, helped fund schools and public safety.
- A cabinet and White House team where no one has a criminal record.
- Major investments in clean energy programs.
- A Bipartisan Infrastructure program that is delivering results across all parts of the country.
- Expanding the Obamacare/Affordable Care Act Health Marketplaces.
- Standing up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and expanding N.A.T.O.
- The CHIPs and Science Act is a boon to American Manufacturing.
- Reducing prescription drug prices for seniors.
- Rising wages.
- Falling inflation.
- Falling illegal border crossings.
- Falling crime rates.
- The first gun safety legislation in 30 years.
- Increased health care protections for veterans.
- Record numbers of small business start-ups.
- The expansion of the Child Tax Credit until Republicans and Joe Manchin took it away.
When Biden leaves the White House on January 20, the country and the people will be better off than on the day the President entered it.
Historically and statistically, the same can not be said of Mr. Trump’s first term where thousands were dying due to his mismanagement of the Coronavirus and 2020 election denialism.
Now were there misplays from the Biden/Harris Administration? Yes.
Could the Biden/Harris team have made real-time adjustments in the withdrawal from Afghanistan? Yes but remember it was Trump’s dealmaking with the Taliban that created the ingredients for the withdrawal fiasco.
Should they have taken a different communications approach to the issue of affordable housing and rent? Possibly but to be fair, they were saying the right words and pursuing the right policies but whether the timing was quick enough and word got out to the people in an effective manner is something to consider.
Could the Biden/Harris team have restricted the entry of illegal border crossers requesting asylum sooner? Yes but remember it was Republicans that stymied bipartisan immigration reform at the beginning of this administration and bipartisan border security measures in the last year for political reasons. Unfortunately, enough people, acting against their self-interests, rewarded Republicans for putting Trump and their party over the country by buying their lies on immigration.
Could the Biden/Harris Administration have been tougher on Israel as the war on Gaza intensified? Maybe but many people who openly protested Biden’s approach to Israel erred by not finding any blame for Hamas and their role in starting this war and taking innocent people, including Americans, hostage.
Should President Biden have pardoned his son? Personally, I see it from both sides. The President probably should not have made the promise not to pardon him in the first place but with Mr. Trump’s “Justice” Department picks, like Pam Biondi as Attorney General and Kash Patel at the F.B.I. promising retribution and endless investigations into their leader’s political enemies, I understand the change of heart for Mr. Biden toward his last surviving son. Again, hypocrites on the Republican side have no reason to whine considering the pardons Trump has given including to his son-in-law’s father, Charles Kushner, who he just nominated to be Ambassador to France.
For all his achievements, President Joe Biden deserved better from the Fair Weather Democrats and honestly the American People.
He, at least for now, is the Rodney Dangerfield of American Presidents.
He does not get the respect he deserves.
Hopefully, history will be kinder to President Biden than the Fair Weather Democrats and the American People who deserted him.
After all, he is the only Presidential Candidate who beat Donald Trump.

“…many people who openly protested Biden’s approach to Israel erred by not finding any blame for Hamas and their role in starting this war and taking innocent people, including Americans, hostage.”
Who exactly are the Hamas apologists?
There is such a thing as a disproportionate response and I would say that 45K+ dead Palestinians and the destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure, health care system, and entire economy is disproportionate. It’s called collective punishment. And it’s happening in a place where the median age is 18 yrs.
The issue with Biden and Gaza is he supplies Netanyahu with money and weapons and then begs for humanitarian aid and a ceasefire. This obvious duplicity was Biden’s Gaza problem because no one was fooled. And Harris couldn’t come up with the rhetoric to defend the indefensible.
As for the rest of it, Biden had a good four year run and he should have accepted that and passed the torch. Had there been a competitive primary, it’s doubtful that Kamala Harris would have been the nominee. Racism and sexism and misogyny have deep roots in America as we once again witnessed although they may have been disguised as the price of eggs and undocumented immigrants. But it was Biden’s big fat ego that set the Democrats on a course that was unlikely to succeed.
“If age was a factor in this election, Donald Trump would not be the President-Elect.”
Um, it ain’t the years, it’s the miles.
Don-old is a babbling idiot but he always was. Joe showed us in the debate and many, many times since, that his best babbling days are over.
He’s a very unpopular POTUS and we were denied a primary. That’s part of his legacy.
The Biden/Trump debate vs. Kamala/Trump debate isn’t useful. The election wasn’t decided on one night.
The Hunter Biden pardon is a massive f’ up.
Of course he was always going to pardon Hunter. That’s his kid. He NEVER should have said otherwise.
Dems could have made Hunter the poster boy for the 2A and then had the R’s back on their heels defending gun laws that they claim to hate.
Crisis management 101.
“First they came for Hunter, next they’re coming for your guns!”
Doesn’t need to make sense, 2A folks views on guns don’t make sense.
Now there’s talk about preemptive pardons (again, no difference between D”s and R’s) for people like Fauci and Schiff.
This is a stupid, stupid idea.
It sends the message to MAGAts that they’re right.
Stop f’n caving to kooks. It won’t make anything better, it just encourages the kooks.
Liza is right about Israel. Biden is wishy-washy on the atrocities because he needed Jewish votes. We can condemn both sides and that’s not being disloyal.
Progressive policies won even in Red States but Dems ran center-right reinforcing the ‘no difference’ narrative.
Joe is the leader of the no difference, center-right party. I’ve had MAGA’s tell me they wish Dems would act like Dems again. Some of them even admire Bernie.
It was the economy before the election and it still is.
Dems should have dragged and should still be dragging CEO’s in front of congress day after day and grilling the shit out of them and educated voters on how gouging works.
But they can’t, because they need corporate donors. More proof that there’s “no difference”, as far as most voters can tell.
I assume a fair weather Dem is a Dem who doesn’t agree 100% with the corporate party.
Yet most of us still voted for them. So, sticks and stones.
Rehabbing Biden’s legacy isn’t going to fix the economy or get Dems even one extra vote next time.
An outstanding article. Hopefully, the Dems’ communication team will listen and start NOW THROUGH JAN. 20TH promoting what Biden has accomplished.
