    I don’t know that there is much Biden can do. The Federal government can’t just tell a state no, they have to take them to court and prove that they are violating federal law. And we now have gerrymandered-to-hell legislatures violating federal law right and left and there’s only so much time and so many resources.

    I’m not going to tout Biden as the greatest president ever or anything, but I can’t blame him for this. He’s not responsible for putting Ryan Walters in his position and he doesn’t have the power to get rid of him.

      Biden has been a career politician longer than been alive or you perhaps

      definitely blame him and all Democrats and Republicans

      don’t wake up one day and magically become progressive

      he always has been right leaning and his party could have been at least shouting to the rooftops about the injustices but instead just deafening silence

      did he even mention this at the debates last night? how about cop city? or anything relevant?

      Good Ol’ Silent Joe

        This news story broke yesterday and it’s the weekend. Give him a few minutes before you denounce him for what he hasn’t done.

        We have such a ridiculous instant gratification culture.

          when the place you reside in is currently being threatened as is your way of life do expect the leader and chief of said place to put in an effort to say something on any platform he could as if he is our side in all this
