Lots of Biden & Obama Bashing here lately. Just a reminder:

The American people voted for Trump despite his known criminal activities. The blame falls fully on them.

If the American people don't vote for a politician that's on the politician who failed to get that vote.

At DU:
AmeriKKKan people voted for Krasnov.

Black American women did not. 92% of us voted for Harris. We saw what could be and voted as we always do - the greater good.

Those 77 million better kill all of us (Black women) quickly - so we won't be here to point fingers when the regime falls.

I'm serious. And in the future - I think we will only be voting for our priorities. The days of me saying - Public Education for every American child is critical are over . . . now that the AmeriKKKans voted for the elimination of the Dept of Education.

NJ educates our children through property taxes. We take care of our own. Charity starts at home.

This is a consequence for bad behavior. Ain't no takesy backsey.

I don't rub shoulders with ChristoFascists.

I fully understand that there are many people who are disenfranchised by intent or bad luck.

But that does not account for the large numbers who didn't show up.

If I'm correct. Yeah - I'm not lifting a finger to help them.

I'm not going to pander to the inherently selfish.

I'm the Selfish one now. They can suck it.

but let's blame Biden - or the anti-Biden players - or Merrick Garland - or 'the media' - or the 'butter knife to a gun fight' memes ....

Or just about anybody/anything - that doesn't point to the sorry lot that gave a big thumbs up to a blundering grifter, slash con man, slash reality TV star - with a nasty reputation.

"Heck of a job there, Brownie!"
