Blinken is there and doing this because Joe Biden put him in that position explicitly to do this.
He’s just as liable as Blinken
I’m ok with both resigning over this.
It’s not like Biden ordered Blinken to lie to Congress…
Blinken is in a cabinet position, so that means he was confirmed by the U. S. Senate - he wouldn’t be in that position without those votes. Are those Senators just as liable too? I imagine some of them were those who got lied in the face to, to boot.
Biden appointed and trusted the wrong person, sure. He absolutely needs to take responsibility and ask Blinken for his resignation. But equally liable is a bridge too far.
hard to believe Joe Biden is still the president
It’s pretty insane. If the guy’s not good enough to run for president how could he possibly be good enough for the job.
Im not going to get into defending Biden’s record, but being president and campaigning for president are two totally separate skills. I have no problem recognizing that he’s simply unable to do both simultaneously now. I don’t think POTUS needs to be able to both, they do need to handle the duties of the presidency though.

lol what point do you think you made here?
I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to say that Biden is incapable of serving as president if he’s unable to campaign for reelection.
I have no problem recognizing that he’s simply unable to do both simultaneously now.
Correct. Dude can’t be president and campaign so he’s choosing just to be president. What’s so complicated about that?
He literally ran for president, and won. He’s not what the electorate wants moving forward, but that doesn’t make him incapable. He’s a career politician with decades of experience
One reason the electorate doesn’t want him is because he’s clearly sundowning.
Well, its more than one side cares that their candidate might be sundowning whereas the other side wouldn’t care if trump fucked and killed their mum.
Which side is cool with genocide?
Considering your history, you’re going to need to be a lot more specific here.
Running for president has almost literally nothing to do with actually being president in the way our system runs. It’s honestly kind of awful.
Plus, you know, he CAN run for president, he just decided Harris can do it better, which she obviously is.
Plus you also can recognize that you are capable of doing a job for another year or two but not sign up for another 4 year contract after that. It’s not like anyone wants to sign up for a contract knowing they may have to step down before the term is up.
Lol Pelosi practically threatened him with the 25th and others began leaking to the press that his brain has turned to mush.
Running means doing it for four years.
Resigning means doing it for less.
Yes, and?
The comment was implying that if he isn’t running he isn’t capable of being president now while ignoring the fact that running now means doing the job for 4 more years.
edit: Just read the rest of the replies to Jay’s comment. Holy Christ, you’re insufferable.
Sorry to critique the guy in charge of the genocide, hoping to make friends here.
You’re doing the lords work
I don’t know about this. If Biden resigns now that means Harris would be president? Does that mean she won’t be eligible to run for reelection in 2028?
Might be worth bearing another four months under Biden for Harris to have the incumbent advantage in 2028. Hopefully he’s delegating as much as possible to the VP and the cabinet and his staff anyways.
Downvoted. Biden’s sharp as a Ginsu. I’m sure glad he’s our leader right now, the commander of the largest military on earth, and the ultimate ruler of a wild nuclear vassal state.
Well he’s done a fantastic job so far, let’s just kick him out at the end for shits and giggles
I don’t know if I’d call ethnic cleansing fantastic, other than that I agree
Yeah, thank fuck he beat Trump or both Ukraine and Gaza would already be gone by now. I really wish he would stop selling weapons to Israel though.
Fun to speculate but we can only be sure that Biden’s policies are causing a genocide.
He should fucking resign 100% although I have no idea who would replace him in the last 4 months of the administration especially since the secretary of state is a senate approved position.
He won’t because Joe Biden is complicit & it’s disgustingly obvious. This, “Whaddya gonna do it’s an election year,” charade is ghoulish.
Absolutely ghoulish. Look at the libs coming out to shout “vote!”
Better Idea: Move his office to Gaza
Trump is facing calls to disappear up his own ass but that doesn’t mean it’ll ever happen.
The adults in the room are talking about someone who is currently using their position in the government to abed a genocide they knew about. What the fuck does any of that have to do with Trump?
Because under a tRump presidency he would have lied 100x more and moved the White House to Gaza after helping to bulldoze the people.
But hey, be insulting to random people on the the Internet because they don’t think the same as you. So strong! So brave!!
So you’re just making things up about Trump to be mad at instead of directing that at the literal guy abeding the genocide because you want to deflect criticism away from the people who are in charge? And you think this is helpful? Do you go into threads about Trump and talk about what Blinken does?
