    this is the origin story of how he will never leave office because we are in the Warhammer 40k timeline

    Biden has sat immobile, his body slowly crumbling, within the White House of Terra for over 10,000 standard years. Although once a living man, his shattered, decaying body can no longer support life, and it is kept intact only by the cybernetic mechanisms of the White House and a feeble mind itself sustained by the daily sacrifice of thousands of aromatic children.

    Look, Biden sucks. He's turning the crank on all sorts of other imperialist projects and the most we'll get out of him on the domestic front is some watered-down bridge bill and increased representation in variations on the "more female drone operators" meme. When the next crisis becomes unignorable he's just going to do a disaster capitalism on it.

    But take a second to appreciate how "Trump would probably be better than Biden (or Hillary) on foreign policy" is and always has been a garbage take. If you got duped into believing that, do a little self-crit. Libs being awful does not somehow translate to Republicans being better.

      Obama was pretty terrible when it came to interventions. Hillary is known for being giddy about getting Bill to bomb Yugoslavia. I can understand where the concern comes from. It's not like they're untested, both Biden and Clinton have decades of open warmongering on their records.

        Hillary was literally the Secretary of State under Obama and demonstrated herself to be an enthusiastic interventionist - arguably pushing the Obama administration farther in that direction than it would have gone otherwise. She publicly joked about the assassination of Gaddafi after championing the intervention in Libya, and facilitated a coup in Honduras.

        The only thing unique about Trump is that he was a wildcard with the attention span of a mayfly and the willpower of a sloth. Casting him aside, the jury is still out on Biden. These withdrawals are good on their face, but it's likely his administration simply recognized that the US is overextended and committed to unwinnable conflicts in the Middle East.

        These withdrawals are likely part of a longer term strategy to refocus on the Caribbean and Latin America. They've been rattling the cage in Haiti and Cuba, and Bolsonaro's inevitable coup attempt is approaching in Brazil.

          They were also started by Trump. :shrug-outta-hecks:

              And Biden was VP during Libya and Yemen. The US-led coalition in Syria started airstrikes when Obama-Biden were in office.

                  I'm not really giving Trump credit for anything here, apart from being (as you said) more incoherent. However, based on Biden's record, it's IMO wrong to say he's better than Trump on foreign policy.

      Biden has been better on foreign policy than any other President in everyone here's lifetime, and likely your parents' lives as well. It's a shock either way, anyone who claims that they predicted this is lying.

    Well Biden is gonna be in office forever. I don't love it, but it'll be funny to see the chuds have a melt down when he starts his third term in 28.

        ambassador to Haiti

        Hillary

        Gosh, that's dark. :( The Clinton Foundation spent billions and built, what, one house in Haiti after the earthquake? Not to mention the children.
