    It’s not like this is the story of a great man who through no fault of his own ends up with a tarnished reputation. He was never all that good and his tarnished reputation is a direct result of his own choices and actions.

      many of us hated him way back to when Obama picked him as a VP choice. Terrible, terrible idea.

        Wasn’t his entire appeal to be the white middle class appealing conservative type who would ensure the more ”progressive” Obama didn’t get out of hand.

        Like I can’t even think of the great positive accomplishment that would be tarnished by the end of his presidency. As a comparison, Ruth Bader Ginsburg actually did some important and positive things before her selfishness destroyed her legacy. What was Biden’s greatest hit? Maybe being slightly less anti-gay than the conservative wing of the Democratic party during Obama’s term? Nothing during his presidency seems to rise to the level of a historic accomplishment. His legislative career was mostly bad.

          IN all honestly the collation he assembled at the beginning of his presidency in reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine was actually world class statesmanship. Getting all of Europe together in economic action was really impressive.

          Unfortunately Putin figured out how to play him right after . He should spend the rest of his life going door to door in Ukraine, apologizing.
