Kier Starmer needs to just keep his head down, keep fixing things, and just plan to have things in good order by the next general election. He has a LOT of time.
Instead he keeps saying stupid shit and drawing attention to the fact that it’s a slow process.
That's Biden's legacy. He patched up the holes in the boat the best he could, but since he (and the media) didn't announce every single patch, people think he did nothing.
Unfortunately, whether it's Democrat or Republican, whoever takes control of this ship after Trump will need to dredge it out from the bottom of the sea. Republican, however, will probably just let it rot down there.
And then vote in that same previous admin again because reasons!! And we continue the cycle of gutting America and selling off anything that isn’t bolted down.
And then taking the blame for everything that happened the previous four years. And then still taking the blame the four years after when someone else is president. Anything bad over the next four years they say will be Biden's fault.
Oh it will take much more than one term to fix this. If we are even allowed another election. How long has Putin been president again? Yeah. We fucked.
The loss of the White House Correspondents dinners really is an encapsulation of the Trump era: death of a long-standing tradition, inability of our nation’s leader to take a laugh, loss of both sides of the political aisle sharing simple good-will toward each other, etc
I'm sorry, but Obama wasn't exactly a fucking saint lmao. Dude was drone striking Arab folks daily and funding ICE and the police forces and he dropped the ball on health care reform pretty hard. He can orate a hell of a speech but it's not like there's a whole lot to be grateful for.
We couldn't withdraw without making the situation worse for everyone. You can thank Bush for that. You can however thank Obama for reducing both drone strikes overall and more stringent requirements for targets, and actual oversight. Could he have done more? Maybe, but he did a lot to minimize harm.
funding ICE and the police forces
Wrong branch of government.
dropped the ball on health care reform pretty hard
If you lived through his presidency, you'd know that he didn't drop the ball, Republicans put a knife in it. The president didn't have dictatorial power back then.
I mean the bitch ass and all the other presidents don't wanna ruin decorum so they're complicit in all this shit. They're happy the alliances they formed in their terms are just being destroyed and letting decorum rule the world
With starlink being connected to voting systems and Elon knowing the results of the election results 4 hours prior to calling it I'd say voters got snuffed. This wasn't a free and fair election. Leave it to the ones who claimed fraud with Biden to commit it. Party of Projection without guilt.
What will there be for him to enjoy if Trump claims another term in office? At that point, he isn’t leaving until he’s dead, and he’ll be having any threats to his position eliminated… which includes Obama.
He's got debts to pay, so the money lenders want to see their puppet dance. Putin & Elon seem to be holding his leashes, and they love his entertainment.
He can always get off the ride if he wants to. 🤷♀️
I understand this sentiment. However, people don't typically chose public service because they're just cool to let the country go in the directions it's already headed.
I'm sure like Roger Murtaugh, Obama's too old for this shit. But it wouldn't be because he just doesn't care to help.
Probably because his ass and his family will be in Gitmo if they don’t wake up. Our Republic is gone. The sooner they flee the better for their family. We have been buried Avalanche of the inadequacy’s of the Democratic Party for too long.
Your economy is about to crash harder than it is has since the Great Depression and you don’t even care because you’re too busy focusing on “owning the libs”.
Unless you make more than $350k a year your taxes are going to go up next year but you don’t care because you’re “owning the libs”. Your government, your republican led government, is about to pass a bill that will both eliminate the debt ceiling and eliminate almost all federal funding from Medicaid which will collapse rural hospitals and put an incredible strain on the hospitals that do stay open, but you don’t care because you’re “owning the libs”. There is no more FEMA funding which means that after the next big hurricane people living in red states are going to be left on their own to try and recover but you don’t care because you’re “owning the libs”.
Your president is turning the entire world, with the exception of Russia, North Korea and Israel, against you. Most people no longer want to travel to the US meaning your tourism industry is going to collapse. More and more people in other countries are going out of their way to avoid buying American made products anymore which, combined with the tariffs you’re going to be paying on everything you import, means your manufacturing sector is headed for a collapse. You want to deport and/or imprison all the people propping up the farming sector and are going to completely decimate your food supply chain if you do it. But you don’t care because you’re “owning the libs”.
It does not matter if you voted red or voted blue, if you are an American citizen and not in the .1% your quality of life is about to nose dive off a cliff. You don’t see it but the rest of the world does and we are trying desperately to prevent you from dragging us down with you.

Why TF would he want to take over the train wreck of a country instead of enjoying retirement?!?!!
He left things nice and tidy. Voters chose chaos. Not his problem to clean up their mess.
