I love Joe Biden, always have. It seems that he lost a great deal of cognitive function over the last 8 years, and this fact was hidden from everyone outside of his circle, could have been his decision, but again loss of cognition means it also could not have been. The fact that Merritt Garland was sandbagged by Republicans which ended his nomination for Supreme Court Justice at the end of Obamas term, made him an excellent nominee for Attorney General and head of The Department of Justice, but the way he was slow rolling the prosecutions for Trump, when they should have been layups, and the way Garland couldn’t adjust and overcome the Trump lawyer onslaught of tactics to delay, doomed Bidens chances at a second term, and American democracy itself. Joe as President was responsible to oversee Garland, and they both dropped the ball in bringing Trump to justice, but the buck stops with Joe. If there’s anything at all to be angry about, it’s Joe should have protected us from Trump returning, and he failed spectacularly, and now it’s all over.

Why? To “own” the Republicans? Spite is hardly a qualification.
Garland was a republican and a compromise supreme court pick. The hope was republicans would hedge their bets and confirm him. Getting a guaranteed pick they liked in place of a possible Trump pick.
After Trump won Democrats should have dropped Garland like a ton of bricks. Instead they did what they usually do and went all on one their failed compromises position after Republicans failed to compromise.
No, a coward and ineffectual, in which he shares a great deal with Republicans, but Merritt Garland is a lifelong Democrat. There is so much blame to go around, but some secret Republican infiltrating the Department of Justice, convincing first Justice Brennan, then Carter, Clinton, Obama then Biden his lifelong juris for Democratic causes whilst scheming to “one day throw it all away for Donald Trump” is ridiculous. I mean, bay at the moon if you want to, there’s plenty to bay about, but Garland is a Republican is what a child would say, which coincidentally is also a Republican hallmark.

Garland did what he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigations so Biden could run as second worst to trump a second time.
