"When a senior American official lies to Congress in the middle of genocide so that the government can keep funding that genocide, he is deliberately flouting the law and prolonging the suffering of millions of innocent people."
Im not going to get into defending Biden’s record, but being president and campaigning for president are two totally separate skills. I have no problem recognizing that he’s simply unable to do both simultaneously now. I don’t think POTUS needs to be able to both, they do need to handle the duties of the presidency though.
He literally ran for president, and won. He’s not what the electorate wants moving forward, but that doesn’t make him incapable. He’s a career politician with decades of experience
Plus you also can recognize that you are capable of doing a job for another year or two but not sign up for another 4 year contract after that. It’s not like anyone wants to sign up for a contract knowing they may have to step down before the term is up.
The comment was implying that if he isn’t running he isn’t capable of being president now while ignoring the fact that running now means doing the job for 4 more years.

Downvoted. Biden’s sharp as a Ginsu. I’m sure glad he’s our leader right now, the commander of the largest military on earth, and the ultimate ruler of a wild nuclear vassal state.
I don’t know about this. If Biden resigns now that means Harris would be president? Does that mean she won’t be eligible to run for reelection in 2028?
Might be worth bearing another four months under Biden for Harris to have the incumbent advantage in 2028. Hopefully he’s delegating as much as possible to the VP and the cabinet and his staff anyways.
It’s not like Biden ordered Blinken to lie to Congress…
Blinken is in a cabinet position, so that means he was confirmed by the U. S. Senate - he wouldn’t be in that position without those votes. Are those Senators just as liable too? I imagine some of them were those who got lied in the face to, to boot.
Biden appointed and trusted the wrong person, sure. He absolutely needs to take responsibility and ask Blinken for his resignation. But equally liable is a bridge too far.
Blinken is there and doing this because Joe Biden put him in that position explicitly to do this.
He’s just as liable as Blinken

hard to believe Joe Biden is still the president
It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.

lol what point do you think you made here?
I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say that Biden is incapable of serving as president if he’s unable to campaign for reelection.
Correct. Dude can’t be president and campaign so he’s choosing just to be president. What’s so complicated about that?
Are you allowed to say why?

One reason the electorate doesn’t want him is because he’s clearly sundowning.
Well, its more than one side cares that their candidate might be sundowning whereas the other side wouldn’t care if trump fucked and killed their mum.
Which side is cool with genocide?
Considering your history, you’re going to need to be a lot more specific here.
Hint: it’s the side carrying out a genocide right now
Running for president has almost literally nothing to do with actually being president in the way our system runs. It’s honestly kind of awful.
Plus, you know, he CAN run for president, he just decided Harris can do it better, which she obviously is.
Lol Pelosi practically threatened him with the 25th and others began leaking to the press that his brain has turned to mush.

Running means doing it for four years.
Resigning means doing it for less.
Yes, and?

Sorry to critique the guy in charge of the genocide, hoping to make friends here.
You’re doing the lords work

Well he’s done a fantastic job so far, let’s just kick him out at the end for shits and giggles
I don’t know if I’d call ethnic cleansing fantastic, other than that I agree
Yeah, thank fuck he beat Trump or both Ukraine and Gaza would already be gone by now. I really wish he would stop selling weapons to Israel though.
Fun to speculate but we can only be sure that Biden’s policies are causing a genocide.
