People often wonder how things got so bad under the Biden administration and yet this president could have even made it through four full years without his party taking the 25th Amendment route, but instead the Dems opted to basically tell Biden he was finished and then they installed Kamala Harris as the nominee.
The reason Biden's even completing a term is because of a national media that did their best to gaslight and carry him across the finish line. People saw through it (the media tried something similar with Harris but failed), but the press is still trying.
USA Today has a long interview with Biden that was published today, and it's nothing short of a fawn-fest with ZERO challenge given to the usual BS from Joe.
It was obvious the interview would be of the softball variety just based on how it was presented:

Biden's true legacy will be one of botched foreign policy, open borders and rising costs for consumers, but I guess that's one way to put it.
In the interview, Biden lied repeatedly ("I created 16 million jobs," "inflation was 9 percent when I took office"), and all that of course went unchallenged. But this particular interview reached new levels of state media, because Biden asked, and was allowed to, speak off the record during an on the record interview:
Think about it. Now, I know you're much younger. I know you're only 30, but when you started covering things, there was a thing called the Soviet Union. China was a communist country on the run and in disarray. We had circumstances. Anyway, look what was going on in Iraq and Iran. And so, it's kind of all changed. And so, what I realized was I knew a lot of most of these women and men who had recently held office in their countries and were still in office. And they all had that, they all looked to us. I mean, can I say something off the record? [REDACTED]. And so, I hope that my legacy is one that says I took an economy that was in disarray and set it on track to lead the world, in terms of the new sort of rules of the road.
Well, wasn't that nice of them?
Biden's still sticking to his insistence that he could have beaten Trump again. Whatever you've gotta tell yourself, Joe.
Remember when Biden got angry because the Hur report concluded that he had a bad memory? That finding from Hur was again made very believable in this interview:
🚨Wow.

In a new interview with USA Today, Joe Biden completely forgot what years Hunter committed the tax crimes that he just pardoned him for:

The USA Today's Biden interview: he "was engaged and loquacious."

Also Biden in the USA Today interview: cannot remember when Hunter committed his crimes/had a drug problem. pic.twitter.com/dWFRZBktoV
But I'm totally sure that all other Biden pardons were fully researched, and Biden knew exactly what he was doing (cue massive eye roll).
If anything, Biden owes Hur an apology, but that will never come because Biden is NOT the good and decent person USA Today claimed he is in the headline, nor does he have a successful "legacy" they allowed him to lie with impunity about during the interview.
In the meantime...
