History Will Not Look Down Kindly on President Joe Biden.

Or those around him.

For me personally, when it comes to politics it’s been difficult not to continue dwelling on President Joe Biden’s debate performance and the aftermath. A debate performance so bad that over a week later the intensity and the calls for Biden to no longer seek reelection and to stand down only continue to mount in spite of all the efforts from his team to stop it.

As I’ve said, at this point nothing would surprise me.

No one is budging.

Not Joe Biden, who is standing firm. Nor are those within the party who insist he has to go. And now, here we are, in a frustrating state of limbo feeling like there’s absolutely nothing we can do.

But amidst all the noise, there was a clip from the Presidents’ damage control interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that somehow managed to get me even more irritated when it comes to this mess.

When asked by Stephanopoulos how he would feel if he stayed in and Trump was elected in January and everything he had warned about came tp fruition, Joe Biden said:

“I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about…”
