Joe Biden was a good President who did good things, and Kamala Harris would’ve been even better.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

Okay, but then why didn't Dems propose a bill to massively beef up the resources for this system? Giving us the ability to quickly and efficiently process people coming over the border?
oh, no, wait, I'm remembering now. people hated that.

Facts which are conveniently just off screen. They go to a different school.
Anyway, remind me who Netanyahu wanted to win in 2024? Was his whole strategy built around “Biden, our good friend and enabler”?
Oh. Oh wait, I’m being told otherwise.

Like, the limit on how many free COVID tests they’d send to a single household was being screamed down as genocide and child murder by our leftist betters. That was a real thing that really happened!

I mean they actually jumped on the "genocide" label pretty early. He was called "genocide Joe" for anything from making them add $1400 & $600, sending multiple COVID tests in one box, & a train crash causing odd smells in a small Ohio town.
The left very, very loudly said - between 2016 and 2022 - that inflationary policy was OK so long as it was in service of increased social welfare programs.
So, the Biden Administration delivered that.
In return for this, the left called them out-of-touch on economics and, eventually, genociders.

“Genocide Joe” rhetoric began on the left long before October 7, 2023. Which rather undermines your claim.

Also lets be real. The ONLY reason these white people on here are freaking out is because they never expected their "I hate Dems, make them lose" antics to end up where THEY are out here getting killed. They all expected it to only affect Black and Hispanic people not them.

Then those dudes had absolutely failed as political analysts if they couldn't tell a well known con man was conning them. Hayes is born and raised in NYC, he has NO excuse for knowing Trump was full of shit.
A lot of us knew better. So why does he get a political pundit show? He failed.
