Easily explained. He might be bumbling on occasions, but he isn't ineffective or a nonentity. No POTUS is ever a nonentity.

Most importantly though, when faced with a choice between him and Trump, the majority chose him. That tells you all you need to know.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was negotiated during the Trump presidency. We simply don't know what it bound the USA to. It is assumed that Biden could have extended the time, but I am not so sure about that.

If Trump had remained as President then Putin would have walked over Ukraine, as he would have refused US support for NATO.

You blame mass shootings on Biden and the Democrats? Don't be ridiculous. They are the ones wanting more controls on guns, whilst the Republicans are in hock to the NRA.

Can you list Biden's achievements for us. (Allowing and encouraging the misogynist Trans groups and racist BLM to run riot doesn't count.)

In a free world, that's hardly a choice to endorse the democratic process. And in the US and UK electoral processes, it is possible to secure the majority of votes and still lose.

I agree it wasn't inspiring, but Biden was a safe choice, after the disaster of Trump. As even Dumb or Dumber would be preferable, Biden was a ray of hope. All forms of democracy can be criticised. The Electoral College seems daft to me, but Biden did secure an overall majority. I want us to use PR, but until we do, we we have will have to do.

I have absolutely no problem with anyone criticising the left. I believe there is a thread here in which people like you can rant and rave to your hearts content. Fine by me. If it keeps you occupied that's great.

What I object to are attempts to avoid facing criticism via whataboutism. Suggesting the "left are far more guilty" is an example of that, as well as being obviously untrue.

That the right claim, and Trump encourages them to believe, that him being indicted is a political act, doesn't make it so. Why on earth should he not be indicted just because he was a POTUS?

Innocent men have nothing to fear from being prosecuted. He will have ample opportunity, and very expensive legal help, to clear his name.

If any former POTUS had done anything that a Grand Jury (not the DA) had concluded constituted an indictable act, and then them not be indicted just because of who they are, it would be a gross abuse of the law.

The law must apply equally to all, and it's vital that the powerful must always be held to account, lest they start to believe they are above the law.

Johnson seemed to think that. Trump certainly does. I find it sad that so many in the USA, including senior Republicans, appear to agree with him. It's sad in the USA, but it's really both surprising and pretty disgraceful that anyone here does too. We are better than that.
