    Joe Biden failed at everything he put his creepy cadaver like hands on.

    'The Atlantic Declares ‘Selfish’ Joe Biden ‘Destroyed His Legacy’ — Admits He ‘Failed Spectacularly’ at Saving Democracy'

    <https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/atlantic-declares-selfish-joe-biden-destroyed-his-legacy/>

    'Joe Biden’s legacy is one of failure, according to the left-wing The Atlantic magazine.

    In a piece entitled “How Biden Destroyed His Legacy,” staff writer
    Franklin Foer argues that while Biden had some measurable achievements,
    he “failed spectacularly” on his signature issue of “preserving democracy.”

    Foer writes:

    Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s obituary will be stalked by the
    counterfactual: What if he hadn’t made the selfish decision to run for reelection? What if he had passed the torch a year or even six months
    earlier? That makes for a grim parlor game.

    The way that events unfolded—his catastrophic debate performance, the
    stark clarity with which the nation came to understand his geriatric state–-beggars belief. Why didn’t Democrats stage an intervention
    earlier? Why didn’t his aides stop him from running?

    The absurd premise of the Biden reelection campaign, that it made sense
    for the nation to trust itself to a president who would finish his term
    at the age of 86, invites conspiratorial explanations.

    The author goes on to complain that Democrats ignored the obvious signs
    that Biden was suffering from dementia, even though the entire
    mainstream media were also complicit in covering this up.

    He continued:

    There’s no need to go searching for hidden scandals, however, because
    the visible one is sufficiently terrible. Democrats ignored a cascade of warning signs.

    The evidence that Biden wasn’t fit for a second term was abundantly
    clear in his public appearances—and in the public appearances that he studiously avoided.

    Advisers knew that Biden’s instinct was always to invest faith in his
    own capacities, but they never made a concerted effort to talk him back
    from his decision to run, until it was far too late. Donald Trump is
    their legacy too.



    While Democrats and leftists like to play up his supposed
    “achievements,” the truth is that Americans have a much less sympathetic view of the four years he spent in office.

    According to a Gallup poll conducted earlier this month, Americans
    currently view him ias the second worst president in history.

    A majority of people—54 percent—believe Joe Biden will be remembered as
    a “poor” or “below average,” while just 19 percent think he was “above
    average” or “outstanding.”

    A further 26 percent of respondents say he will be regarded as merely “average.”'

    When the left lose the support of The Atlantic, they are in serious trouble.

    I've seen other assessments that are a lot more favorable to Biden.

    He's way up on the scholarly Presidential rankings compared to Trump.

    No surprise there. I didn't expect anything good from Trump the first time around and he proved far more stupid, vile, and destructive than I could have ever imagined.

    And these sobs like him.

    U.S. Generals are raising the alarm
    Sep 16

    President Trump is actively working to
    undermine every major institution in this
    country. He has planted the seeds of doubt
    in the minds of many Americans that our
    institutions arent functioning properly.
    And, if the president doesnt trust the
    intelligence community, law enforcement,
    the press, the military, the Supreme Court,
    the medical professionals, election
    officials and the postal workers, then why
    should we? And if Americans stop believing
    in the system of institutions, then what is
    left but chaos and who can bring order out
    of chaos: only Trump."
    Admiral William McRaven
    Former Commander of U. S. Special
    Operations Command



    "Donald Trump is the first president in
    my lifetime who does not try to unite the
    American people does not even pretend
    to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We
    are witnessing the consequences of three
    years of this deliberate effort. The Nazi
    slogan for destroying uswas Divide and
    Conquer"
    General James Mattis
    Retired U. S. Marine Corps General
    Secretary of Defense for President Trump



    "I never believed that the Constitution
    was under threat until recently. The
    slide of the United States into
    illiberalism may well have begun on
    June 1, 2020. Remember the date. It may
    well signal the beginning of the end of
    the American experiment. There is no
    precedent in modern U.S. history for a
    president to wield federal troops in a
    state or municipality over the objections
    of the respective governor."
    Lt. General John Allen
    Former Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan



    "While some of us hold policy positions
    that differ from those of Joe Biden and
    his party, the time to debate those policy
    differences will come later. For now, it
    is imperative that we stop Trumps assault
    on our nations values and institutions and
    reinstate the moral foundations of our
    democracy."
    General Michael Hayden
    Retired Air Force four-star general,
    Former Director of the National Security
    Agency, and Director of the Central
    Intelligence Agency




    "We are dealing with a lawless President
    who has no allegiance to our Constitution
    or values. Trump is igniting a fire of
    violence. He is sowing division. Trump is
    involved in massive and constant abuse of
    power. His every instinct is extortionist.
    How can Republican Senators abide by his
    thuggish behavior. We have never encountered
    such a terrible man in the Presidency."
    General Barry McCaffrey
    Retired U.S. Army General



    We have a Constitution. And we have to
    follow that Constitution. And the President
    has drifted away from it. The first thing
    that troubled me is the whole birthers
    movement. And then I was deeply troubled by
    the way in which he was going around insulting
    everybody, insulting Gold Star mothers,
    insulting John McCain, insulting immigrants.
    that is dangerous for our democracy. It is
    dangerous for our country."
    General Colin Powell
    Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff



    "I dont think Trump tells the truth
    I think he is, immoral Am I really
    willing to throw away or ignore some of
    the things that people do that are are
    pretty unacceptable normally just because
    they accomplish certain other things that
    we might like?"
    General Stanley McChrystal
    commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan


    "Trump laid bare his disdain for the
    rights of peaceful protest in this country,
    gave succor to the leaders of other
    countries who take comfort in our domestic
    strife, and risked further politicizing the
    men and women of our armed forces."
    Admiral Mike Mullen
    Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff


    "Trumps response to bounty, even if not
    briefed, was weak his first reaction
    was not, How can I protect the troops?
    It was, How can I protect myself?
    As is so often the case with President
    Trump, the welfare of the nation and of
    our troops did not come up. This is not
    what leadership looks like. These are not
    the actions of someone who serves or
    even cares about the troops to whom he
    has a duty. These are the actions of a
    man concerned with self-preservation and
    little else."
    General Wesley Clark,
    Four-star U.S. Army General
