The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.

These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?”

The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.

There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed at the White House.

    We have to scare them into compliance and that’s not going to be easy with kegsbreth trying to get AI mass surveillance and autonomous policing of the population plus aren’t they bringing in around 5k “white” South Africans a month I guarantee you they will be putting them in ice for their little state sponsored domestic terrorism on the polls campaign. Plus they are building 55 billion dollars worth of concentration camps possibly with incinerators compliments of core civic. DHS posted that they want to remove 100 million people and Miller has openly stated he thinks the US should only have 100 million people who all look like him…I don’t know where he’s going to find 100 million nasfaratus though
