Oh President Biden there will never be a President like you.

He called it Oligarchy. He's schooling us. Dark money, yes indeed.

Oligarchs did not run to President Biden because he is for the people.

I actually was completely on board with Joe Biden, in his own way told trump, musk, Fox News, and all the multi billionaires who are trying to steal our lives to F OFF….

Thank you Mr President for your long service to this country.

Humility, dignity, integrity, and a reverence for our history and the country we say we are.

And in the Oval Office, the next four years will have none of that.

Unfortunately, too many people who should've seen this - the people who needed to see this, didn't. That makes me sad...
(and mad too)

Thank you President Biden

The 20th century is the one that the Oligarchic MAGAGOP so much wants to repeal. All of it. Joe called it out.

THE SPEECH IS A MUST WATCH.

He covered the coming oligarchy, why it’s TERRIBLE and what we HAVE TO DO to fight it.

He also talked about the disinformation we are being buried in for the purpose of money and power.


PLEASE LISTEN TO IT.

I’m sad our country will no longer be a democracy starting 1/20/25. And I’m glad President Biden mentioned about billionaires trying to take over country and create an oligarchy. The 🍑💩🤡 is selling out our country to the highest bidder. And is going to make money from selling our countries intelligence and secrets. And how long until Putin makes his state visit?

And the 🍑💩🤡 will have no guardrails.

I weep for our country 😭🥺😢😔😞😕🙁😥😪😪😓😟
