Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.

The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.

    Check chicken breast prices. That was literally the first one I went to. It doubled. Which is a fuck of a lot more than 30 percent, especially for a pantry staple that was previously reliable. And it wasn’t Bird Flu, that didn’t happen until 2022 and the price was already skyrocketing. And that info is from the st. Louis Fed and CDC.

    Meanwhile Biden starts taking fucking victory laps on the economy in spring of 2023, while malnutrition deaths are rising in the US. The man fucked up. The Democrats fucked up. And until that gets admitted nothing is going to change.
