Biden Regrets Re-Election Withdrawal and Appointing Att General Garland

[Social Media]

 

President Joe Biden has reportedly expressed regret over his decision to withdraw from this year’s presidential race, asserting he could have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election despite unfavorable poll predictions. According to sources close to the White House, Biden has privately reflected on what he considers missteps during his presidency, including his selection of Merrick Garland as attorney general.  

 

The regret over Garland stems from perceptions that the attorney general was slow to prosecute Trump for his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. This delay, coupled with the Justice Department’s aggressive prosecution of Biden’s son Hunter, has reportedly fueled Biden's disappointment in his choice.  

 

Biden’s reflections come as his single-term presidency approaches its end, with only weeks remaining. A profile in *The Washington Post* revealed Biden’s belief that his withdrawal in July, following a poor debate performance against Trump, was a mistake. He reportedly thinks standing his ground would have yielded a different outcome.  

 

However, this perspective has been met with differing views. Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris argue that Biden’s late withdrawal left her campaign with insufficient time to gain traction. Harris’s defenders maintain that the loss was not due to her candidacy but to the timing and circumstances surrounding Biden’s decision.  

 

The regrets over Merrick Garland are particularly striking given the context of his appointment. Announced the day after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Garland was tasked with restoring the Justice Department’s independence after a period of perceived politicization under Trump. At the time, Biden praised Garland as someone who would bring “honor” and “integrity” to the department.  

 

Despite these intentions, Garland’s deliberate approach to investigating Trump has drawn criticism from many Democrats, who felt the pace was too slow to have meaningful political impact. The eventual appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith added to the perception of delay. Smith’s investigations ultimately resulted in criminal charges against Trump, but his decision last month to request the cases be wound down following Trump’s election victory has left some Democrats frustrated.  

 

Biden’s regret over not pursuing a second term underscores the challenges and tensions within his administration as it grapples with the fallout of key decisions. These reflections, as reported, provide a glimpse into the president’s mindset during a pivotal moment in his political career and in the broader context of American governance.

Of course they do.

 

Ignoring that she was so bad that she lost to the worst man on the planet.

 

If they had longer would they have wasted 2 billion $?

 

The thing they did wrong that lost the W H was not putting someone that could speak in understandable sentences in.

Disagree with him on remaining the candidate, but wholeheartedly agree with him on appointing that worthless, spineless, gutless tortoise Garland.

Biden is in denial. The reality is he should have been forced out  earlier due to his senility and allowed time for the party to elect a more suitable candidate that Harris.

As a Democrat I will freely admit that Biden is completely disillusioned if he thinks that he had a good chance to win. Granted picking Harris at such a late date was probably not good strategy, and she was a poor candidate, and unqualified, but Biden was failing and he's just way too old for the job.

 

What he should admit is that he should have stepped aside after the first term and allowed the Dems to pick a highly qualified candidate who would have had a chance of beating Trump. The secondary aspect of this is that the Democratic party is very broken, they have leaned way too far to the left, they've aligned themselves with the progressives and the extreme left, and the ridiculous woke movement, and that turned off millions of centrist voters.

 

I don't like Trump, nor do I have a nanogram of respect for the man, but I understand why people voted for him. 

[spidermike007]

Biden would have been a poor choice, but with regard to Trump, many people, once they got attached to a theory, it was hard to get them detached. They’d screen out unhelpful facts, invent favorable ones, and ignore contradictions in their own claims. Look at those Sandy Hook, multiple fraud convictions, and Jan. 6th truthers, babbling about false flags and crisis actors and all the rest. When people were motivated enough to believe something, they were going to believe it no matter what. There was no such thing as a bridge too far.

 

Trump may have won, but he is still an unappealing, unattractive, idiotic, incompetent, hateful, hurtful, abrasive, rude blowhard, a liar, cheater, thief, infantile, failure, loser, fraud, sexual abuser, incestuous, tax cheat, insurrectionist, un-American, dictator-loving dictator wannabe, out of control, sociopathic, convicted felon, toxic narcissist & brutish A-hole.

He's clearly realized he will be held to account for taking money from Americas enemies, ruining the entire justice dept and media who lied like sleeping policemen for 6 years to cover up for his treason.

Im guessing in your 80s isnt the best time to face the worst possible charges, and Joe certainly does, what from the corrupution to Ashleys diary, where to start?

As I gently remind, "nobody is above the law", and "nothing to hide, nothing to fear". If i were joe Id be bricking it at the thought of Patriot Kash Patel having a thorough look at my past🤣

So why didn't you stand your ground?

 

Because Nancy Pelosi bullied you. If you can't stand up to her you don't deserve to run. 

 

Don't cry about your cowardice now. Pardon your son (after promising you wouldn't) and just leave. You've been a disaster. You are as dishonest as you are decrepit. Pathetic.

Sorry mate, but withdrawing was the only option you had because your party would have definitely lost, if you hadn't.
