The name calling was another. I don't care if Hillary called names too, I care that the POTUS is doing it.I detest Biden but at least he isn't Trump.
" but at least he isn't crying on twitter"

We obviously have different definitions for the word "crying"!

"The name calling was another."

I love it when dems/libs are caught whining about something THEY have done for DECADES and continue to do today.

Just an example for 1 person:

"President Bush's political opponents often use nicknames for him in a disparaging sense, such as:
  • Dubya - folksy Texan pronunciation of his middle initial W
  • GW - the initials of both his first and middle names
  • King George, King George II, Little George - implying he's as oppressive as the British monarchy was toward the early American colonists - used by Howard Dean in a campaign speech September 23, 2003 [1]
  • Junior - suggesting that he's not on a par with his father
  • Baby Bush - distinguishing him from Poppy Bush (the nickname of choice for George H. W. Bush)
  • Bush Baby - a crack likening him to an African primate (see galago)
  • Shrub - pun on his last name, since he's a smaller Bush. This nickname was popularized by Texas newspaper columnist Molly Ivins.
  • Uncurious George - motivated by his chimp-like resemblance to fictional monkey Curious George and by his intolerance for diverging fact and opinion. Usual "I know you are but what am I liberal tag" (See "put some Ice on it, Bill Clinton)
  • Bushie - belittling diminutive (compare Moonie)
  • Dumbo - implying that Bush is an idiot
  • Dumbya - hybrid of Dumbo and Dubya
  • Shrubya - hybrid of Shrub and Dubya
  • Gush - coupled with "Bore" in descriptions of Election 2000 as the "Gush and Bore election", juxtaposing his surname spooneristically with that of Al Gore (whose only two nicknames, by marked contrast, are Al Bore and Al Snore)
  • Bu****ler - used by his most extreme opponents to express hatred towards the US president and to liken him to Adolf Hitler."

They can sure dish it out, then whine like little snowflakes when it is done to them!

Serious question — what has he fixed or began to fix?
What does POTUS, any POTUS, have to do with rent, car prices, gas prices, food prices, hotel room prices, homicides, shortages, cost to heat etc.

What specific authority does the POTUS have to address any of the above?

There are a lot of people I can't stand, especially in government, but I don't intend to invite them to dinner.
Exactly. If these people only knew what other famous leaders were like throughout history. You don’t remember the nice guys. It takes a certain type of person to do that job.

Biden hasn't fixed ****.

That's why whenever Biden ****s up whatever domestic or foreign issue he touches, the lefty from citydata has nothing else to say except "but but but Trump"

Biden did the same stupid thing that Trump did when he became President. Whatever his predecessor did, do the opposite. This humanitarian crisis Biden created at the border began by his signing an Executive Order on Inauguration Day and has gotten worse every month since.

I don't give a darn what President Trump said on Twitter. What matters is his actions for what he did for the betterment of this country.
Yeah, Xiden sure isn't President Trump. He's a bumbling old fool who is doing the exact opposite, reversing everything and tearing this nation down with each passing day.

Here's just a small snippet of what President Trump accomplished before and into the pandemic.

See the full list here:

https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov...complishments/


• America gained 7 million new jobs – more than three times government experts’ projections.

• Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.

• The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.

• Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.

• More Americans reported being employed than ever before – nearly 160 million.

• Jobless claims hit a nearly 50-year low.

• The number of people claiming unemployment insurance as a share of the population hit its lowest on record.

• Incomes rose in every single metro area in the United States for the first time in nearly 3 decades.

• Unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma all reached record lows.

• Unemployment for women hit its lowest rate in nearly 70 years.

• Lifted nearly 7 million people off of food stamps.

• Poverty rates for African Americans and Hispanic Americans reached record lows.

• Income inequality fell for two straight years, and by the largest amount in over a decade.

• The bottom 50 percent of American households saw a 40 percent increase in net worth.

• Wages rose fastest for low-income and blue collar workers – a 16 percent pay increase.

• African American homeownership increased from 41.7 percent to 46.4 percent.

• Brought jobs, factories, and industries back to the USA.

• Created more than 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs.

• Put in place policies to bring back supply chains from overseas.

• Small business optimism broke a 35-year old record in 2018.

• Hit record stock market numbers and record 401ks.

• The DOW closed above 20,000 for the first time in 2017 and topped 30,000 in 2020.

• The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have repeatedly notched record highs.

• For the first time in nearly 70 years, the United States has become a net energy exporter.

• The United States is now the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world.

• Natural gas production reached a record-high of 34.9 quads in 2019, following record high production in 2018 and in 2017.

• The United States has been a net natural gas exporter for three consecutive years and has an export capacity of nearly 10 billion cubic feet per day.

• Signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act – the largest tax reform package in history.

• More than 6 million American workers received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to the tax cuts.

• A typical family of four earning $75,000 received an income tax cut of more than $2,000 – slashing their tax bill in half.

• Doubled the standard deduction – making the first $24,000 earned by a married couple completely tax-free.

• Doubled the child tax credit.

• Virtually eliminated the unfair Estate Tax, or Death Tax.

• Cut the business tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the developed world – all the way down to 21 percent.

• Small businesses can now deduct 20 percent of their business income.

• Businesses can now deduct 100 percent of the cost of their capital investments in the year the investment is made.

• Since the passage of tax cuts, the share of total wealth held by the bottom half of households has increased, while the share held by the top 1 percent has decreased.

• Over 400 companies have announced bonuses, wage increases, new hires, or new investments in the United States.

• Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated into the United States from overseas.

• Lower investment cost and higher capital returns led to faster growth in the middle class, real wages, and international competitiveness.
I posted a list a while back and it took 3 SEPARATE postings to get them all in.

As President you can't support and adopt programs that are adding a trillion dollars a month to the deficit and not expect inflation. President has the authority to veto bills that drive up the price of goods and services and taxes.

I’d personally be ashamed of myself if my value system placed mean tweets above national and international policy. But that’s just me.
