Does it matter to you if biden was just a figure head and as an old man, has no knowledge of what EO'd "he" signed?

Does it bother you at all?

No. Because it's not true. When he pardoned every prisoner in federal custody who had non violent marijuana offenses, he was acting on principle. It didn't matter whether he knew all their names or not, or even if he personally signed each pardon. He believed strongly that they had been sentenced much too harshly and acted upon it. So much worse was President Trump who has pardoned insurrectionists, violent criminals, thieves who cheated others out of 4 million dollars, and more. Anyone who had enough money fill his coffers with more gold could get a pardon for a friend or family member. It's disgusting and criminal. We should be embarrassed that such an evil human being is leading our country.

Yes, as destabilization in the Middle East, Ukraine, Afghanistan etc. resumed where it left off from the previous syndicate when he was vice president. Then the surge of illegal immigration, drugs, human trafficking etc, are more of his ( or his controllers) accomplishments. Our strategic petroleum reserve was almost run into the ground to keep our economy from collapsing.




March 31, 2022, President Joe Bidenannounced that his administration would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the reserve for the next 180 days, selling it at an average price of $96 per barrel. The 2022 release became the largest ever SPR sale and lowered the SPR to its lowest levels in 40 years.[10] After oil prices declined during the second half of the year, in December the administration announced it would begin replenishing the SPR in early 2023, expecting to purchase oil at a lower price than it was sold, a process that would take months or years to complete.[11][12][13] The Biden administration continued to release reserves in 2023, selling off 45% of the SPR by September 2023.[14] The Department of Energy unveiled plans to purchase oil at a price of $79 per barrel or less, but has since purchased oil at higher prices. As of April 2024, further purchases were cancelled due to rising oil prices.[10][15]

According to legislation already in place, the amount of oil in the reserve could fall to 238 million barrels by 2028.[16] This will be a 67% reduction to the oil in the reservoir since 2010.

To top of his successful regime, ISIS is back.

As world powers clash, ISIS returns for revenge

"The group welcomes wars between the great powers that would weaken them," a senior threat intelligence analyst told Newsweek.

Connect the dots in the issue of running down the petroleum reserve & “green energy” . Meanwhile China went full throttle with climate “bad” energy and “good” green energy ( holding all the cards). China is pledged to eventually implement “green” energy methods and if you believe that please remember that I offer the Brooklyn bridge for sale at a reasonable price.

If ex-president Biden wasn't in charge...who was ?

Not "President Musk" that's for sure. Only a president who checked his brains at the door every morning would put someone like Musk in charge instead of himself.

That of course is the most troubling aspect of it. Along with the cover-up. If that's what was going on.

Joe Biden’s political carrier spans over 50 years. He and his team accomplished quite a bit in his last 4 years. Here is a list of bipartisan accomplishments:

* Economic Recovery: His administration oversaw a strong job market and economic recovery, marked by significant job creation and low unemployment.
* Infrastructure Investment: He signed a bipartisan law allocating over a trillion dollars to modernize American roads, bridges, public transit, and expand broadband internet.
* Manufacturing Boost: He passed legislation to significantly boost domestic semiconductor chip manufacturing and scientific research, creating jobs and strengthening supply chains.
* Lowered Healthcare Costs: He enacted a law allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices and capping out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors.
* Climate Action: He secured the largest climate investment in U.S. history, promoting clean energy, electric vehicles, and emissions reduction.
* Gun Safety: He signed the first major federal gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years, enhancing background checks and providing funding for violence prevention.
* Veterans' Benefits: He expanded healthcare and benefits for millions of veterans exposed to toxic burn pits and other environmental hazards.
* Strengthened Alliances: He revitalized key international alliances and led significant global support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.

All this about not knowing what executive orders he signed is just another vicious political distraction.

Biden was a career politician and became part of Congress when Nixon was president.
He was more than just a figure head and made bad mistakes for America over
the years he was a Senator, VP and President.

He relished praise and applause, especially from foreign leaders.

Yes, it bothers me that Harris and Biden's cabinet could not perform what likely was their constitutional duty. Had they done that the election process would have been different, potentially with a better candidate and or Presidential race. For policy I don't think it mattered too much. For risk though, the USA was fortunate not to have worse consequences or major decisions that might have endangered Americans.

That isn't on topic for me.

There isn't much I can do about the sex-obsessed focus of Republicans. They look at a comprehensive program of great legislative achievement and prosperity, and they focus on a small peripheral issue and blow it completely out of proportion. And the sad thing is they do the exact opposite with their leader.

Maybe I overlooked it, but I haven't seen a comment pointing out that it was Biden who was elected president, not those who may have been running him. We can argue accomplishments and failings all day long, but what it comes down to is that if Biden was a figurehead, then someone who wasn't Biden was acting as POTUS and that someone wasn't the one elected. If it was anyone other than someone in the chain of succession and without invoking the 25th Amendment, then it was done illegally.

Facebook greeted me this morning with a Donald J Trump truth social post. He said that the Democrats had deceived Americans, that Joe Biden was deceased and that the man we thought was Biden was actually an AI robot, soulless and brainless. And you are worried that Biden was incompetent during his presidency? I know what soulless and brainless is really like which is why I voted Democratic in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
