I hope nobody pays you to write this crap. I guess I forgot how perfect the clyntons and obamo were. Biden has been a two faced sob since the day he took office . He's changed his views more than most people change their socks.

We will never have Ozzie and Harriet happy days again. Those times were then, the" this-is-now" dystopian times we are living in now, are from our complacency in thinking that waxing nostalgic will make it resurge. It is gone, and we best get accustomed to rap music and extreme lack of self control.

Wow, when it rains it pours. There's no difference between the gangs that we vote into CEO every four. 1871 Congressional Act aka as rhe KKK act read it and weep. As a Black Veteran from Viet Nam, understanding Your enemy is essential. We've allowed the people whose family's paid for their degrees but forgot integrity, patriotic, and plain common sense. There's this gang or that, but its OUR government? Our government has been taken over by the most corrupt people on earth. 20 years in a country that didn't attack Us!!! It's been alot of wall street wars for representatives profit, Our government huh? People died on the Capital grounds, but the gangs stay loyal to each other not the people, the truth, justice for the dead, or the COUNTRY! Ita time for term limits, like the presidency, and PUBLIC FINANCE campaigns. If it's Our government it time to reel in OUR employees aka REPRESENTATIVES not Leaders. The house of REPRESENTATIVES are NOT leaders and should be reminded DAILY. If we continue on this path with psychopaths and sociopaths representi g Us, We are doomed.

wow. "joe biden is a decent man?" sadly, I no longer trust anything engelhardt says. independent verification will be mandatory no matter how minor the issue (and that's IF I read anything else he's written, after almost two decades of being a fan). this turn of events was most definitely unexpected. who in their right mind considers joe biden "a decent man?!?"

What a funny view of reality you have. As you go thru the presidencies you recite the war making of so many yet fail to take significant note that making war is NOT the domain of only one of the parties. You seem to be against war. Then you talk about Trump, the ONLY president in modern times who has NOT been driven by an incessant desire to blow up the real estate and people's of other countries. instead Trump has pushed policies guided by a "What's good for the USA" mindset. You claim he has been busy burning down the planet and destroying the environment and other imaginary ills. He's done none of that. The US LITTERALLY REMAINS THE LEADER of the planet in reducing it's emissions of CO2. No other nation comes close. France, center of the Paris Accords, failed to even meet the fairly easy targets that it said it would while the US exceeded those reduction targets even without being a signatory. It's nice your hearts in the right place, too bad your brain is blinded by the usual leftist nonsense and lies. Here's one, tell me about how Trump is a dictator. Tell me how he's forced the whole country to do ANYTHING you are against thru his horrible dictator ways. Tell me which judicial rulings he, the dictator, refused to follow because dictators ignore what the other branches of gvt say. Please list those instances.

Tom Englehardt is a nice guy, but he has nothing to offer. Very conventional in his thinking. After 9/11 he was the first out of the gate with "alternative" essays, etc., but since then he has become a standard neoliberal who swallows the mainstream Dem swill and regurgitates in a "thoughtful" tone. His bromides regarding Joe Biden are nauseating. As someone upthread said: Has he done ANY homework on Biden? Was he A-OK with the pre-election suppression of Hunter's laptop? Is he playing dumb regarding Biden's boasted bribery in Ukraine? Tom apparently hasn't yet heard anything about Biden's role in the Iraq invasion, in the fateful legislation he sponsored during Clinton's administration re Glass-Steagall and for-profit prisons, not to mention consolidation of the media and other regressive legislation. As for Joe "Hair Sniffer/Golden Leg Hairs" Biden, I guess Tom hasn't bothered to wonder about that those weird Bidenacts. For Dems like Engelhardt, Trump is the gift that keeps on giving. Still blaming "the imperial presidency" on Repugs, and Trump. Pathetic from an intelligent man. This is what we are up against in this country. Blind trying to lead the blind. Tom, please don't make such a fool of yourself. Do some homework first.

this post is pure drivel. joe biden a decent man? trump inciting insurrection? america an imperial nation when it is under medical dictatororship and being crushed by unelected technocrats? not one mention of how trump fired kissinger and neutered the c.i.a. this guy is delusional like the rest of the pundit class in this nation. they have nowhere near any sort of truly insightful narrative going. no honest discusiiln and appraisal of the facts under cultural marxism sponosred by the banking class. america is OCCUPIED by the the city of london and fake jews! (just look at biden's cabinet and admin picks!). there is no truth telling in this country. it is not allowed. there is only kool-aid drinking. america -real america- is a zombie with no voice. buggered and wimpering by the pedophiles that rule the entire world.

"Trump’s presidency would certainly be the most bizarrely “imperial” of our time, as he and his team worked, executive act by executive act, to essentially burn the planet down, destroy the environment, lock Americans in and everyone else out, and dismantle the country’s global economic role. And in the end, in the most imperially incoherent way imaginable, with Republican congressional help, Trump would come at least reasonably close to rather literally destroying the American democratic system (“fake election“!) in the name of his own reelection." The article initially seemed intriguing until it morphed into an MSNBC style hit piece about the "fascist buffoon" who single-handedly destroyed American democracy.

Joe Biden is far from a decent man. He is a miserable overbearing demagogue who will be glad to activate every crime that the "Deep State" demands of him. And he will probably die while in power or be shuttled to an asylum for people suffering from Alzheimer Disease. The good citizens of thee USA deserve better!

More EO's signed in two weeks than Trump signed in four, it's just the beginning of the final solution, the whole ponzi scheme started in 1913 is getting ready to crumble so when all else fails, take us to war

'Joe Biden is a decent man' I daresay no one will comment, it is not apparently so.
