After a severe defeat at the polls, some of the knives come out among various people in the defeated political party over the loss and who is to blame. Well, President Biden says he could have defeated Trump (Uh No Joe), and he does publicly admit that...

Summary

President Biden expressed regret over appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General, criticizing Garland’s slow action in prosecuting Donald Trump for the January 6 insurrection while aggressively pursuing cases against Hunter Biden.

Biden reportedly blamed former Chief of Staff Ron Klain for persuading him to choose Garland over other candidates, such as Doug Jones, who was seen as more politically assertive.

Many Democrats share Biden’s frustration, believing Garland’s cautious approach harmed efforts to hold Trump accountable.

    Garland wasn’t scared, he was on his side.

    EDIT: this is why Kamala lost the libs when she was like “I’ll put republicans in my cabinet!”

      That was one of the most infuriating things about her campaign. Even if she was saying that just somehow troll the hard right or the die-hard magabrainz, it was still just so fucking stupid. Not one Democrat wanted to hear shit like that, they wanted someone that would fight the hell back against these assholes, not swing the door open and invite the vampires into your household, FFS.

      It was amazing watching centrists on lemmy who didn’t want the support for their pet genocide to end bein’ like “She’s the vice president! She can’t differ from Biden in any way at all ever!” fall silent when she decided that she needed to run to Biden’s right.
