To the Dustbin of History

Good riddance to Joe Biden

Today, I celebrate the end of the Biden administration. I do not celebrate his successor, for I'd be similarly happy today had Kamala Harris won. Joe Biden was a terrible president--divisive, destructive, and deceptive--and the country will be better with him gone.

Some will surely argue that Trump is worse than Biden in every important way, and I accept their criticisms, though I disagree with the relative magnitudes. I also would point out that Trump's misbehaviors are much more constrained than Biden's by outside forces--by the Democrats' effective control of the most important media outlets and their ubiquity in the administrative state. In addition, their is a resistance to Trump even within his own party that didn't exist for Biden.

Today, I celebrate the departure of Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Karine Jean-Pierre, Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, Antony Blinken, and Lloyd Austin. All of these people put themselves, their party, and their politics above the country.
