Biden's Successes (impeachment, attorney, brainwash, March)

[JonathanLB]

I would say as someone who’s family made a fortune in senior living and who has a lot of expertise in that field, personally having been at around 50 different senior living communities... Biden has really called attention to the seriousness of dementia and how sad it is when someone starts losing their faculties. It’s not fun to watch, it’s not funny, it’s just sad and scary. Biden should elicit more compassion than anger, as you watch him struggle to remember he’s even president on a bad day, and on a good day he can’t tell the difference between $3.5 trillion and zero. Dementia and Alzheimer’s aren’t things people are exposed to often, but having a president suffering these afflictions maybe can bring much needed research dollars into fighting this medical crisis!

unless there is reform in the market we will remain a rightwing country IMO

the USA is a very right-wing country? LMAO! Not with our progressive tax system, open borders and welfare state. Let me guess, you are a left wing socialist lecturing us about the economy. Thanks for the laugh.

There is no more where that came from, and when we give it away, it's gone.

Biden's bills to help people are stuck in Congress, but when these pass there will be many things we can note as positives.

I agree with this statement. There's a Canadian company named Hudbay that's trying to mine copper in the Santa Rita Mountains in Arizona. These are open pit sewers. It had Trump's blessing. I voted for Trump and I'm republican, but I draw the line at destroying our wilderness and permanently polluting the country. And, the water problems in Arizona? Hudbay would use enough water per day to supply 60,000 homes. Forget about you political affiliation. This makes no sense. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

The stock market is strong, true. A lot of that is due to government money being pumped in and the massive gains by big pharma due to the government buying and giving away the vaccine. In addition the market has to rise at the rate of inflation to simply break even. I doubt the market is actually any stronger than under the previous administration, but I will concede it is good. However this is not due to biden or his actions. It is due to market factors that are immune to his actions in my opinion.

Much of that is due to people no longer considered in the job market. I believe the actual number of people not employed is not down, but rather the new claims on benefits. In any event, again I am not really sure any new hires are attributable to biden. Do you have any kind of a link showing something he has done to spark job creation? If so I am open to reading that.

Well, again we disagree on his policies stimulating the growth of the oil industry. I agree it has likely increased their profits, which I thought was a bad thing since the cost of gas has doubled or close in my area. I thought biden promised to punish the big corporations and send those profits to the little guy. biden clearly made a drastic mistake closing our pipline work and allowing his blessings to the Russians to construct one that will profit them greatly. biden has done nothing to benefit the little guy who needs to drive to work, school or simply wants to take a trip.

I can't see that biden has done anything positive that is different than what Donald Trump did. We have the same vaccines used under Trump, but now biden wants to force them on people who dont want to take them. He supports a woman's right to say my body my choice, but not someone who doesn't want the vaccine. The deaths are actually higher I think, but biden has shown no new plan. He has no plan that wasn't already a plan before he took over. He has however used the tactic of blame to point the finger at the unvaccinated, even though it is now known the vaccine does not stop the virus, stop the transmission of the virus or stop people from dying from it. It has however been tied to severe side effects which make many leery of taking it. Read some of the vaccine related information on ones like the DPT vaccine of the 80' era and what it did to children. Given the risk, forcing a vaccination is criminal in my mind, and certainly not a positive. Taken seriously is conjecture on your part, and I won't address that other than to say I disagree.

How long have we been lifting people out of poverty with welfare type giveaway programs? How has it worked at eradicating welfare? If you feel another social program with no restraints is a good thing, I will just say I disagree, but respect your opinion.

I liked how Mr. Biden extended an arms control treaty with Russia.

I like how he cancelled student debt for those with disabilities (although I have my limits on this issue).

I liked that we rejoined the Paris Accords.

The last ones are just matters of opinion. I think it is the opposite. I think biden is the buffoon being laughed at and not taken seriously rather than Trump. China is threatening Taiwan, the Taliban owns Afghanistan, N. Korea is test missiles again and talking anti American policies. I think any leader laughed when biden allowed the abandonment of 85 billion dollars worth of weapons to the Taliban. If you watch any overseas news, biden is not respected and often laughed at. Ultimately we will see if his diplomacy is a success or failure. For my grandchildren's future I hope you are right and I am wrong, but I think he is a disaster and will get us bombed, or sell us out to some art buyers overseas. We will see. This was fun, but long, so please excuse and typos.

Only 178 pages of nothing, many are how trump is bad. SAD, but not expected.

I knew Biden would suck too, but to a lesser degree on actual policy.

For whatever reason, a lot of conservatives seem to think all these people on the left or in the center didn't vote for Trump because he was a blowhard. No, they didn't vote for him because he doesn't share their politics. The fact that he was a compulsive liar that acted at the maturity level of a 10 year old was why some of them hated him with such passion though. That whole "mean tweets" thing is just a conservative talking point that only exists in their world. It's sorta like liberals thinking that people who voted for Trump are racist. It's just a bunch of delusional nonsense for people that live in a bubble.

So the people who voted for Biden JUST PREFER:

open borders
inflation
consumer product shortages
high prices for energy
lack of energy independence
CRT
BLM and ANTIFA
Abandoning US citizens to a terrorist state
the creation of a new terrorist state
wiping out 100 years of trust among our traditional allies
federal government ordering universal vaccination mandates against the will of the people
a president who refuses (and cannot) answer questions
higher taxes
escalation of crime
lack of enforcement of many crimes



Wow- I would think only a lunatic would PREFER THE ABOVE, but I guess different strokes.........

He will be ineffective because of these limitations and Dems will get the blame by low information voters who fail to understand the power structures.

The next 3-4 cycles will likely be a slam dunk for conservatives.

President Manchin & VP Sinema, our effective leaders, are doing a superb job.

Most tax cut reversals, on corps plus high earners, are off the table now.

Just as any radical idea should be off the table in a 50-50 court.

Indeed-

At this point EVERY SANE CITIZEN can recognize that Biden (Obama) and liberalism are disasterous for the US and its citizens.

Only those who crave personal misery and deprivation (liberals, as they belong to a religion of self hate) would support the idiocy of this regime. Not only do they bring economic misery, but are engaged in limiting personal liberties and weaponizing the FBI and CIA to attack and control US citizens.

People who lived through the USSR and the East Block nations are amazed that ANYONE IN THE US would support and pine for policy like the old USSR. Having directly experienced the misery of a marxist totalitarian state (witness Garland and the FBI and weaponizing ANTIFA and BLM), they are shocked that any rational person would sacrifice their freedom and liberty for simple party partisanship, like pulling for a football team that loses every game.
