Former President Joe Biden delivered a strong critique of his successor Friday, arguing to a room of supporters that President Donald Trump has “taken a wrecking ball” to democracy.
“I knew Trump was going to taking a wrecking ball to the country, but I had no idea, I have to admit, I didn’t know there was going to be an actual wrecking ball,” Biden said at a gala hosted in Omaha by the Nebraska Democratic party, referring to Trump’s demolition of the the White House’s East Wing to build a 90,000-square foot ballroom.
“It’s a perfect symbol of his presidency,” Biden said. “Trump has taken a wrecking ball not only to the people’s house but to the Constitution, to the rule of law, to our very democracy.”

Good! Democracy needs a wrecking ball!
Sure does.

A democracy is a political system in which the people periodically, by majority vote at the polls, select their rulers. The rulers then have absolute power to make whatever laws they please, by majority vote among themselves.Given the differences between democracy and republic as outlined above, I am just fine with taking a wrecking ball to democracy to restore the republic. Never mind Woodrow Wilson, and his outlook (seemingly shared by all Democrats and even all RINOs) that “socialism and democracy are almost, if not quite, one and the same”.
In a constitutional Republic, the people also, by majority vote at the polls, select rulers, who make laws by majority vote among themselves; but the rulers cannot make any laws they please because the Constitution severely restricts their lawmaking power.
The ideal of a democracy is universal equality. The ideal of a constitutional Republic is individual liberty.
In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our Republic and transforming it into a democracy. One tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling the United States a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term, totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government.

Kaanita hasn’t done her homework.
Just what does this thoroughly corrupt, mediocre man call putting thousands in prison for made-up offenses orchestrated by his federal police agencies?
Good to know Biden is still a lying pos.
Joe didn’t say anything. Joe doesn’t even know what day it is.
I liked it better when former presidents kept their mouths shut and just showed up to smile at ceremonies.
He probably doesn’t know what a day is, these days.

Their diabolical, so-called “democracy” is an urgent, dire threat to our Constitutional Republic. So IF President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it, Good!!! Thank-you, President Trump. Keep up the good work!!

Dumbya sure did while Obama was in office, but Trump?
Not democracy, “our democracy,” the term the globalists use for countries they control. Not a democracy or your democracy or my democracy but “our” meaning their little club.
JB using the Emmanuel Goldstein ploy against Trump. Wrath propaganda works for the dumb masses
Poor senile old man. It seems he only understands the concept of democracy when democrats hold all the power; at this stage of his life, there’s no point in explaining it to him.
Wrath propaganda works for the dumb masses
And boy are they dumb.
Yes. And he’s going to make it into a Big Beautiful Republic.
