Inside Biden's fury at AG Merrick Garland and why he blames the Trump prosecutor for his election defeat
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity....
is said to regret choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general and blames the federal judge for his election defeat.

Nearing the end of his presidency, Biden has admitted that he regrets appointing Garland because the justice department has aggressively prosecuted his son Hunter, but slowed down prosecution for President-elect Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
, sources close to the matter told The Washington Post.

In 2020, Biden also faced harsh criticism for going with Garland as two of his closest aides and friends - Former senator Ted Kaufman and Mark Gitenstein - tried to persuade the president to name former Alabama state Senator Doug Jones as attorney general instead.

The 46th president soon set his sights on Garland, who was highly recommended to him by his former chief of staff Ron Klain, but furious Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
quickly opposed his decision, saying it severely damaged his presidency.

Democrats believe that if the justice department moved faster on Trump allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents, the incoming president might have faced trial before the recent election, ultimately damaging his political career, sources told the outlet.

Other than regretting Garland, Biden is also remorseful about stepping down to let Vice President Kamala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' former mistress
run for president as he and some of his aides believe he could have won another term.

Recently, Biden and his aides - who have chosen to remain anonymous - have admitted that they believe he could have defeated Trump again, but have remained cautious about blaming Harris or her campaign for losing to Trump in November.

Some of his aides have also voiced that Biden's sudden decision to withdraw from the race and hold onto his presidency for too long was disastrous, leaving Harris with just over three months to prepare to take over, the outlet reported.
The man is senile. What he is said to believe is orthogonal to reality.
Although some believe he made a change, other Democrats have made it clear that Biden's decision to run again was a mistake.

'Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation,' Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said.

'I think his running again broke that concept — the conceptual underpinning of the theory that he would end the Trump appeal, he would defeat Trumpism and enable a new era.'

Others have said that Biden has lost touch with what the country needs at this time, adding that he and his supporters 'often yearn for a world that disappeared.'

#2 When I read "... aggressively prosecuted his son Hunter, but slowed down prosecution for President-elect Donald Trump..."

I can see Biden misspoke yet again, and got the facts A$$ backwards.

#3 To be fair NN2N1, there was actually many verifiable things to prosecute Hunter for while very little real evidence to prosecute Trump.

What about about a 1000 just like him in less prominent positions?

#11 And 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019.

Remember waaay back in the day he was allowed to testify in private, and none of the interview was allowed to leave the room, because he was already beyond a defensible condition?
