Our government is adept, indeed masterful, in taking up causes which are extremely time consuming, excessively expensive, but with little or no redeeming value. Today, we seem obsessed with pursuing a former president, no longer relevant to a future to which our current government should be devoting it’s full time and attention.
While no fan of former President Biden, it was clear that he was the victim of aging maladies that possess all of us at some time. Aside from those who are intent on just debasing him, the rational for this relentless pursuit now seems to be to question whether certain decrees or executive orders were actually authorized by someone else.
It seems to me that, maybe aside from pardons, the current administration can reverse those decisions with which it is in disagreement – – – and it has already done so on many issues. (By the way, it is regrettable that the right or practice of exercising presidential pardons has been corrupted and misused by many administrations.) Can we not just acknowledge that Joe Biden was the elected democratic president for four years and did what he and his party thought best or self-serving, even though we may totally disagree with many of these actions?
Would it not make more sense to concentrate our full time, our complete attention and our ample resources on the future that we can actually impact, not on the past which is history, over, gone, done.
This might give us the extra time we need to study decisions better before they are implemented and not have to do embarrassing reversals later.

It is sad that Biden is on such a decline but we need to focus on the future of our country which needs the effort of all those elected to office. We have a great country that needs leaders with. a strong vision for our country, one that uses the resources available.

Ollie is absolutely correct that our attention should be focused on the
future, rather than the past. Unfortunately the present political polarization
in the American public has more than doubled during the last decade.
Neither party’s leadership has made any effort to reconcile the differences.
Some of the politicians should address their own mental acuity when they
encourage civil disobedience and violence. It seems that the most vocal
Democrats refer to Trump as an autocrat and dictator, and hate him so
much that whatever he or the Republicans are for, they are against.
Biden recently chose to have BBC interview him in an effort, I suppose,
to preserve his legacy and confirm that he is not cognitively impaired. He
claimed he stepped away from the race against Trump to “maintain
democracy”, and that he had a really bad day in the debate with Trump
because he was sick. Of course in that interview he said very little, if
anything, about any mistakes he and the Democrats may have made during
his presidency.
As intended Biden sounded cogent without any cognitive issues. Although the
interview may not have been fully scripted, there is generally a pre-interview.
The guest tells the interviewer what he/she wants to discuss and the topics
that are not to be mentioned.
I give Biden credit. He actually sounded more reasonable and cogent that some
of his Congressional colleagues.
