Joe Biden regrets ending his re-election campaign, and nominating Merrick Garland

| December 29, 2024 | 43 Comments

Joe Biden reportedly voiced a couple of major regrets. One regret involved pulling the plug on his re-election bid. Biden felt that he would’ve defeated Donald Trump despite internal polling indicating that he would’ve gotten hammered. Biden also regretted nominating Merrick Garland for attorney general. Biden felt that Garland did not move fast enough with prosecuting Trump, while pointing out how fast action was taken against Hunter Biden.

From The Guardian:

With just more than three weeks of his single-term presidency remaining, Biden’s reported rueful reflections are revealed in a Washington Post profile that contains the clearest signs yet that he thinks he erred in withdrawing his candidacy in July after a woeful debate performance against his rival for the White House, Trump, the previous month.

The president stepped aside — to be replaced as his party’s nominee by the US vice-president, Kamala Harris — after mounting pressure from fellow Democrats, who cited polling evidence that appeared to show him heading for a near-certain election drubbing from Trump, who was seeking a historic return to the White House as the Republicans’ nominee.

Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.

While Biden and his aides have been careful not to blame Harris, they apparently believe the result would have been different if he had stood his ground, according to the Washington Post’s reporting.

It is a view disputed by many Harris supporters, who blame the president for waiting too long before withdrawing, thus leaving the vice-president with little time to mount an effective campaign.

They also point out that Biden’s determination to seek a second term violated his 2020 campaign vow to be a “transitional” figure, who would pass the torch after one term after steering the country away from Trump’s presidency.

“Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation,” Richard Blumenthal, a Democratic senator for Connecticut told the Post.

No bigger piece of shit has ever occupied the White House then Joe Biden. He wishes Garland started the political persecution of Trump sooner? That seals the deal to nose out Barry Soetoro. They used corrupted prosecutors, compromised judges, and it was all coordinated through the White House to attempt to hold back an unstoppable force, Donald J. Trump. DJT might have flipped a few more states, but Diddycrats mostly “vote blue no matter who” states would be the same. The popular vote would have been more decisive because a Trump second term was inevitable.

Preaching to the choir, HT3, but preach on! I was looking in Mr. Webster’s Book of Definitions for the term “piece of shit” and it had a picture of Joe Biden there. Who’s to say that sniffy creepy pedy joey even had a say so in his “withdrawing” from the “selection”? And, yeah, he probably would have won the “selection” since the ballots with his name were already printed and dispersed to be “found” and “counted” at 0300 hrs that Wednesday Morning. Good Lord willing, his criminal career will come to an end on 20 January 2025, and joe will be judged by the Ultimate Jodge, found guilty of his many crimes, and sentenced to an Eternity of the Barbed Cock of Satan while his worthless soul burns in the hottest fires of Hell.

PHUQUE HEEM!

And anybody with half a brain cell knew that was the case. I just couldn’t believe it when he was elected. For me, that that happened lends lots of credence to manipulation of the vote!

Too late now, so Herr biden will just have to biden his time until he leaves his now 1000 year 4th Reich defunct Reichstag.

The left is currently engrossed in a circular firing squad appointing blame for the -to them- completely baffling election defeat. Other than actually taking the lessons onboard and acting rationally they have two options:
-Stick with the Barry/Nan/Chuck model
-Go Squad with AOC and crew
Neither will work. Bubba Fett is the Dem voice of reason; the knives will come out for him soon.

The saying was this election was between the intelligent and the stupid. Socialist dems obviously continue to be stupid.

Yeah, he was like the only Democrat with a lower approval rating than Harris.

After the WSJ piece he really shouldn’t be near microphone ever again.

5 years ago today.
Lie-awatha / aka Pocohontas,
Warren caught lying again.

And what have Biden or anyone else among the Dems
done about her (or even Dick Blumenthal) over the past 5 years?

Hack Stone

Fox News website has a blurb that Jimmy Carter died. No mention while watching the NFL games. Any confirmation?

Hack Stone

Well, they are running with it on the Fox News broadcast channel.

Hack Stone,
Confirmed by many sources now,
as seen by deploying the Fu of Google.

I’ll bet he didn’t hang himself.

Hack Stone

Does Hillary have an alibi.

MarineDad61

[ Former President Jimmy Carter told his family
he was more interested in voting for Vice President Kamala Harris
than his milestone (100th) birthday earlier this month (October 1. ]

  • Jimmy Carter votes for Kamala Harris
  • The former president, who turned 100 earlier this month, said he wanted to live long enough to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Just saw on the Washington DC NBC affiliate that Jimmy Carter asked Joe Biden to deliver his eulogy. That should make for a great blooper reel. If we are lucky, Joe Biden will bring up Beau Biden and Uncle Bosey.

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, how many times has Joe Biden lied about beau dying in Iraq? Maybe he’ll go off talking about how Beau was eaten by cannibals this time?

waltusaf

No sweat, he’ll be voting for the democrat candidate for many years to come.

Green Thumb

Burp, fart, giggle.

Biden also ran on the promise that his son did not take one dime from China, which was technically true, since ho took millions of dimes from China.

Yep, they’re not afraid of releasing the photos now, since the crack head has immunity, and the “big guy” is a “sympathetic old man with a poor memory”.. Seems a decent DA could get the people with the photos on obstruction or something similar though..

USMC Steve

The potential rainbow here is that congress can subpoena that scumbag, and he has to testify because he has immunity, they they catch him lying, and they can hammer him.

I also regret him dropping out of the presidential race. I was looking forward to an even bigger stomping than the one over Kamala.

The whole Biden/Harris, and later Harris/Walz, fiasco was just that. We had a geriatric and demented lifelong politician who finally ascended to the throne he lusted for only because he was an aging puppet who had some use as a tool. His VP was a relatively young First who wanted recognition as more than the First Female VP of Color, and who pandered to every demographic she could through her fake accents and mannerisms. Once the King was done Biden his time on the campaign trail, it was determined that Harris would take the scepter, with a run-of-the-mill classic politician (a middle aged “YT” man) who became known for his fixation with placing female hygiene products in bathrooms designed for young boys as well as his false statements about his military service.

Biden would have likely lost even worse than Harris did. We have to take into account the low-information voters who voted for Harris because she was a woman, Black, Asian, Indian (I’m sure some were confused and voted for her because they thought she was kin to Liz Warren), pot-smoking, rap-listening, BLM/Antifa-supporting progressive with her ear to the ground. Biden wouldn’t have gotten many of those votes.

As for Carter, RIP. I was born during his administration and can’t/won’t pretend to be overly passionate about his single term in the Oval Office. I know he wasn’t exactly the most effective President, and there are many reasons to dislike his actions and inactions, but he did serve, and I’ll admit a bias towards Southern people.

TopGoz

This whole story is just further evidence of how far removed from reality Joe Biden has become.

NHSparky

That’s some top-shelf delusional bullshit right there.

You forgot the “Not a joke” tag.

FJB. When Joe wakes up every day, I want him to look in the mirror and see what a failed/evil human being looks like. Everytime he shits himself, forgets where he is and who he is, it is a total humiliation to him and his equally evil wife and family.

Let the Biden name go down in history as a scurge to be equal with Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Hitler. When Biden finally dies, may he burn in hell with the rest of them

The grandchildren should change their names as not to be connected to this foulness. Maybe it’s a good thing that Biden wants nothing to do with the unclaimed grandaughter, it would be better for her.

Just did a road trip from Colorado, through Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and back. Saw HUNDREDS of Trump signs, on barns, semi trailers, silos, billboards, etc.. It wasn’t until yesterday that I saw the one and only sign referencing biden OR harris… a trailer with 6 foot tall letters in Safety Orange paint.. it said FJB…

My personal favorite was where someone took a Harris/Walz yard sign and wrote “TRUMPED” across it with a large magic marker!

STSC(SW/SS)

There was a bunch of homes who had a sign that said;

Dump Trump
Lose Cruz
Flip Chip

All but one are gone. We need to direct illegals to this person house.

 “Biden felt that Garland did not move fast enough with prosecuting Trump, while pointing out how fast action was taken against Hunter Biden.”

Translation: He’s still angry as hell that he couldn’t jail his political opponent in the tradition of Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Mao et al.

SFC D

yeah, DOJ moved so fast that the statute of limitations eliminated a lot of Hunter’s charges.

Forest Bondurant

Joe Biden is an insufferable lying piece of shit cocksucker. Fuck that guy.

Blaster

It seems that you like him more than I do!😉

ChipNASA

I’ll just leave this here because I might include some of this in the asteroid of insults

SFC D

And everyone said amen!

UpNorth

Had FJB gotten out earlier, it wouldn’t have made a difference in the final count of votes, except Trump likely would have gotten even more votes as Kamala exposed even more of her awful ideas and pandering to extremist groups.

Blaster

Of course he does. He has NEVER had the best interest of the country in mind, only his self serving desires!

Mark L.

Trump should hire Garland since he’s the only guy who could effectively find a political opponent guilty in court and get him arrested.

It’s hilarious how NONE of you ever mention Trump’s seeming inability to go after Clinton as if it’s the Deep State or some shit and not simply Trump being an incompetent dullard.

Bitch about Biden all you want, he accomplished what Trump couldn’t: effectively going after his opponent.

A Proud Infidel®™

You mean going after political opponents in the tradition of Lenin, Stalin, Hiler, Mussolini, Mao, … just like Joe Biden did.

Face it, Harris and Walz got TRUMPED!!! 😁😁😁

Hey, I’m glad Trump won. Maybe this time Trump will:

Finish the wall.

Introduce that amazing Obamacare replacement. (He doesn’t seem to give a shit about ending Obamacare this time around, so…..)

Ban Muslims.

Lower taxes.

End the wars. (And no, I don’t mean no new wars, which is what end the wars became once his idiot supporters realized he wasn’t ending them).

Lock Hillary up.

Push legislation for term limits.

Make the military great again.

……….all of this in addition to all the shit he’s promised for his next term.
