But it’s still fucking amazing and jokerfying that biden is the fucking guy this decaying empire coughed up during its death rattle to oversee the continuing and accelerating decline.
Real last days of rome shit. Actually, it’s too much even for that. If someone was making a movie about the fall of rome and the emperor was portrayed as a doddering old decrepit fuck like Biden people would say it was a little much.
It’s still astounding that they couldn’t find another smooth talking neoliberal ghoul ANYWHERE. Couple that with Pelosi’s fucking “good morning, Sunday morning” gaffe, the fact that Feinstein apparently doesn’t know what planet she’s on, and then multiple senators and congresspeople are apparently on Alzheimer’s medication. The absolute state of bourgeois democracy. incredible.
He did better than was probably expected, but ultimately it felt like he was trying to jump the queue for "establishment DNC pick", which is why more long-timers like the Klob seemed to hate him too.
He thought he could cut ahead of others who had been selling out their souls longer than he had, which is why even some libs seemed to loathe him.
A time will definitely come for Mayo Pete, sadly.
Honestly I don't think so, a cabinet position like this is probably a dead end for his electoral career. I think his path at this point is to make some favorable moves toward big development firms and move into the corruption field after his term.
Time will tell!
Either way, this guy will be a shitstain for many more decades
A move to the presidency from a cabinet position is absurdly unlikely, he would have to go back to ether a state level gig or a congressional position. I think his best shot, if he still really wants to be president, is to use his cabinet position to fluff the bed for a bunch of a powerful regional developers/transit interests in a prospective blue/purple state, I would go with Colorado if I were him, and then make a Governor or Congressional run with their backing in the next cycle. That would put him in a striking position for another presidential run while also building a real interest group base.
