I remember those halcyon days of 2017 when every news commentator in the country breathlessly announced each month that this, this is the moment the Cheeto finally became President The (a)symmetry is pleasing to the eye. ---

> [@CHealy7](#): > > This was surely the moment we knew Biden’s presidency was over? It’s fairly ridiculous how Trump supporters sat silent through four years of Trump’s thuggish behavior, but are now seizing any and every opportunity to claim that Biden is unpresidential. I mean, who the hell do you think you’re fooling, here? ---

What will it take for certain people here to admit that Biden’s stint in office has been one long string of gaffes, domestic disasters, and foreign policy blunders strung together in a long, terrible line? ---

You were here but strangely silent. Pretty strange from someone who claims to not be a Trump supporter. ---

Thank you, President Biden. Non-Deplorable (decent and honorable) Americans know that you are trying to clean up DumbDonald’s enormous messes. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > Why didn’t you speak up during Trump’s term? You were here but strangely silent. > Pretty strange from someone who claims to not be a Trump supporter. I don’t think that follows. Plenty of folks on this board criticized Trump “during Trump’s term”, so I figure it’s entirely consistent for a guy to (a) note, upon reading this or that thread, that he’d only ever be the fifteenth or twenty-third or whatever person to make the same point thereabouts, and so not bother; and then to (b) speak up, when there’s a criticism that he figures should be leveled at Biden and that he _doesn’t_ happen to see a dozen or so people already making. (I, of course, say all of this as someone who _did_ “speak up during Trump’s term”, which I’d like to think means my bona fides are already secure.) ---

Honestly, as long as Biden is better than Trump, he has had a successful presidency. And that’s a pretty low bar. Being not-Trump is a blessing to the nation. ---

Enough people were talking about the daily car-crash that was the Trump presidency. Despite everything I have said here, I am still happier that Biden is in charge, but I expected more from his presidency. ---
