Give the guy a break, he grew up with a stammer, or stutter as they prefer to call it. ;)
😂😂😂 Kinda makes me think 💭. People didn’t know who they were voting for, or the majority. Just that they were voting against Trump.
He was vice president for 8 years, well measured and clearly has a heart. I'm pretty sure people knew who they were voting for. But or right in that most people who voted for him would have voted for me, if I was running against Trump. :D

You could have watched the presidential debate and still not know who Biden was - he barely had a part. ;)

I think he was until the Pandemic 😷 hit mate.

You can pick holes in anything, and the media crucified Trump and he said some bang ya head against the wall things. Plus Republicans are never favoured by the lamestream media. Look at the history of Republican POTUS.

Besides offending almost everybody on the planet who wasn't a deluded follower, doing nothing about the pandemic until 100,000 people died and not much more thereafter, separating thousands of innocent Mexican children from their families, hosting several covid parties, encouraging people not to wear face masks and spreading the disease amongst associates as well as catching it himself, pulling out of WHO funding, supporting far-right groups, and of course, starting a riot and going home to watch it on TV, he was doing a brilliant job. :)

The worst thing about politics is the one sided opinions now try listing the good stuff he did then we can continue with this discussion :twisted: or you can blast away at me if you like :lol: :lol:

The good stuff? He hired Kayleigh as his press secretary. :D I believe he strengthened the economy and created jobs (?) but unfortunately that was undone by the covid crisis, which wasn't his fault - he was only guilty of mishandling it.

He encountered and survived more witch-hunts than any president in history and won a second term by a landslide with a record number of imaginary votes, only for them not to count because they were imaginary. :)

I suppose best thing he did was inadvertently create the biggest ever Betfair market and now we can hopefully look forward to another monster of a market in 2024.

Other good things to note is he didn't start any new wars (how many innocent people have died through endless & needless past wars), cut through red tape allowing pharmaceutical companies & their scientists room to create a record breaking time vaccine, which will end up saving countless lifes. Being part of brokered peace deals in the Middle East. Put more effort than any previous president into trying to end human trafficking & last but not least found a rent free room in Derek's head.
