Beyond record-setting numbers of illegals crossing the border on his watch Biden has also spent (by far) the least amount of time at work in the White House. So, that’s two ‘accomplishments’ for ole Joe. https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/23/polit...way/index.html

His ratio of screw-ups per days worked is quite something.

Are they really screw-ups though? Seems to me, most are intentionally done.

I guarantee that if everyone in this country got off of social media, where they inundate themselves on a daily basis with extremist memes and propaganda from one side of the aisle or the other, Americans would go back to not being divided over "made up" wedge issues and instead work together to solve our common problems.

A bonus would be to get ****-stirring right and left wing pundits (Tucker Carlson, Rachel Maddow, Sean Hannity, etc, etc) off the air. All they do is complain and cause trouble, never adding anything constructive to our country.

I’ve been saying this a while. But social media is like pure cut Columbia’s cocaine.
Just too hard to beat it.

At first I did. Then I watched him a few times . Holly crap . He is A senile old window licker . Give him a box of crayons and a Helmut.
The man can't string More than a few sentences tougher. He is not sure who his wife is. Ever watch her lead/walk him in a crowd ?
You ever ask yourself Who is the real president ? Certainly not him. Wait not more than six months You will see China and or NoKo Challenge him and he will back down. Bet anyone here $100 to your favorite charity. Something happens to stop the oil flow by 1/3 or more.
The US can out produce any country. Been proven

Biden isn't actually the president. No one voted for Biden. They voted for Trump, or against Trump. They ended up with "Biden", who is basically an animated dummy that the Democrats use as their figurehead. A real life "Weekend at Bernie's" except instead of two guys trying to cover their butts you have insane people who think they are virtuous but actually need to be laid out in mass graves.

It's called mental immaturity. It's overgrown children who cannot handle nuance or grown up behavior, and it's become a plague among many. A grown man walking around waving a Trump flag or an F-U Biden flag or a flag with anyone's name on it just doesn't make any sense to me, yet I saw it last Halloween in my own neighborhood. The whole thing has an air of professional wrestling, and it's embarrassing. But that's the level of intellect and wisdom you are dealing with when it comes to people like you've mentioned.

I will be voting against Biden unless it's Trump. Hopefully the party doesn't make that mistake again because there are some really misguided people who've continued to fall for his con. Only if you have conflated real life with reality TV or professional wrestling do you think someone like that is fit to lead a country.

Yes, LI has changed, exactly as you have described. It has become acceptable to behave in a manner that used to be, if not outright unacceptable, at least criticized. I despised Trump, and I must admit that the Biden of today is not the same Joe Biden that I admired so much in the early 2000s. That makes me sad, but I do believe that he is and always has been a man of good character and so I cannot actually dislike him. I felt the same about John McCain even though I did not agree with some of his policies; was very sad when he died - it was an "end of an era" feeling.
I voted for Biden. He is not running his administration. His staff is, and they are mostly younger woke-progressives, or at a minimum people playing to that base.

The clincher for me was the Jen Psaki conference after the Ma'Khai Bryant shooting, and I quote.

"We know police violence disproportionately impacts Black and Latino people and communities and that Black women and girls — like Black men and boys — experience higher levels of police violence,"

If you think that moderate Joe Biden would have ever allowed a statement like that after one of the most justified police shootings I've ever seen, you are as nuts as the people who wrote it.

This administration is catering to the woke social justice agenda/religion, and that agenda is dangerous for America and democracy itself. As dangerous as Trump's anti-democratic nature.

I can't either. I would make a bad cult member and a terrible nazi. Voting is enough. I don't need to boost any president's ego for four or more years.

If they need that kind of narcissistic supply, they should be in the entertainment industry - NOT public service.
