I know I am biased as heck, and perhaps that bias is not allowing me to see his good accomplishments, but for the life of me, making every effort to take an objective view, I can't think of a single success so far this year. Quite the contrary actually, in what appears to be shaping up as the most dismal presidency of my lifetime. Even with the press doing everything they can to shore him up, the polls are indicating more and more voters agree.
So, perhaps one or more of our forum members can point out just what it is I am missing. In what way is this country better than it was a year ago as a direct , or even indirect result of Joe's efforts?
Agree totally....other than pushing to get people vaccinated to save lives.
Included in the bad policies and mismanagement are some major, self inflicted crisis situations.
The energy policies because of the fake climate crisis are potentially catastrophic.........to our economy and inflation pressures but the worst is that they have now ramped up our energy insecurity. Cheap, reliable and efficient fossil fuels are the life blood of every developed country.
The southern border is apparently intentional, so its only a crisis for the people that don't want this fiasco of a policy designed to increase the democratic base of the future America.
Crime in America is continuing to soar higher and is many times higher than other developed countries...............no, its not all from the guns. It's from the people committing the crimes and the mismanagement and tolerance of it.
Blacks commit violent crime at 6 times the rate of whites for instance. So what is the biggest message that we get in that realm?
We constantly hear/read that Cops profile and target blacks unfairly.............instead of ACCOUNTABILITY for those committing the crimes!
Blame the ones risking their lives and doing the most to fight crime to make our communities, especially black communities safe!
This is totally a democratic narrative and problem that they own.
If the republicans would just get their act together and not perpetually shoot themselves in the foot by dwelling on fighting the science of COVID vaccinations and fighting the results of the last election and throwing their support to a lying psychopath, this would be the easiest administration/president and party in history to totally obliterate.
Forget about those 2 issues which are the battle cries of many current republicans.
Focus entirely on the damage that's being done to our country by many other REAL items.
The republican party, at any other time with these democratic disasters would be having a field day that featured people flocking in droves to sign up.... but instead , people are abandoning the R party as it fights with itself and dwells on complete losing, anti science, anti Constitution battles, while not capitalizing on big winners.
With Biden at less than 50 approval, you really think the Pubs will have a hard time winning???
I’d hope that a lying psychopathic dictator wannabe could once again be defeated. Otherwise, the US had a major problem. This is textbook lesser of two evils.
If this were a football game let's see if there's a creative analogy to describe it.
The red and blue team are fierce rivals playing each other in the annual match up.
It's late in the 4th quarter and tied up 0 to 0.
Let's find out why neither team has been able to score points.
The red team has a quarterback, that also insists that he call all the plays. He's got some athletic skill and an excellent offense that could do well but he only calls plays that feature him carrying the ball every time because he's convinced that he's the greatest running back that every played football..... and he runs the ball over the same right tackle each time, so the other team knows where the play is going every time.....and they can stop it every time.
He also has a huge problem fumbling the ball.
He does far more damage to his team than he does to help them but some of them worship him and are afraid of him, so everybody goes along with what HE wants to do.
Because the quarterback is very popular, the coach is afraid that if he puts somebody else in, the team won't like or listen to him so he lets the stubborn, fumbling quarterback stay in..................and their offense can't score any points.
The blue team's offense has 2 problems. The quarterback is 55 years old and should have retired over a decade ago and can't remember the plays sometimes, so messes up some plays. The other problem is their coach calling the plays uses extreme plays that never feature running the ball over their best blocking lineman. Instead, he likes throwing bombs into the strongest pass defense in the country, which get intercepted half the time. And doing trick plays like triple reverses that lose yards every time.
Neither team can score any points because their leadership and quarterbacks are totally incompetent.
But most of the fans on each side, continue to support their team without questioning the tactics or play calling or personnel, just like they have all season long.
The sports writers/commentators/tv anchors and team sponsors in their hometowns tell the fans about how great their team is just the way it is and suggest doing everything exactly the same in the upcoming games.
They don't call out the blue team in that town for constantly using dumb plays with an over the hill quarterback or the red team in that town for letting a crazy, narcissistic quarterback, obsessed with delusions of grandeur control the tactics.
However, some of the red teams fans are getting ticked off at the bs, when they know their team is flushing its potential down the drain, using a quarterback obsessed with being the hero. Some of its sponsors and previously life time supporters are walking away, asking for new, honest leadership so their superior players can start winning games......like they did in the past with a different quarterback that had a team mentality and not a scardy cat coach.
remember when the terroist insisted they will bomb the trade center again, and they did. Well Biden has succeeded with the sanders/aoc/schummer/Pelosi plan to turn America into Venezuela.
I'm not into Biden bashing and I hate to say it but Joe Biden has been a very dishonest person for much of his life.
This really happened in the videos below and the reason he's president, is that it was so long ago, people forgot and he was running against the worst candidate in history last November.

He was also the least charitable of anybody in politics for over a decade:

I actually liked Biden several years ago and would have considered voting for him back then but verified, accurate facts and history above with my research told me a different story about who he really is...........which now includes being way past his prime and mainly a puppet.
So to complete the problems that I have with Biden's integrity, here's this below.........and it makes the evidence of his corruption even more believable because it actually fits with his character traits above.....and I don't bash anybody based on not liking them or trying to smear them.
Regardless of all that, I'm 100% on board with his COVID vaccine agenda.
Neither party has a franchise on the truth and both parties violate it very frequently.

Talk about hate blinding people.
1.) WX, do you feel this country is beter off than it was a year ago? Lesser of two evils? Let me count the ways that premise is flawed.
2.) Are you fixated on the idea that a pub win involves Trump returning to the whitehouse? Prior to your post, I don't think that was part of the discussion. Quite frankly, I'd be thrilled to see Trump policies returned, but I'm not so sure I'd like to see Trump return with them. He is damaged goods, in my book. The good news is there are plenty in the party who agree, that would make far better candidates.
Tim,
I honestly thought exactly like that and like you before the election.
However, something really snapped in Trumps head after he lost the election and turned him into a delusional psychopath.
His once extremely negative personality traits that were barely offset by his wonderful policies took a leap into a lying psychopath trying to obliterate the constitution to overthrow the most important event defining our constitution .....the democratic presidential election. For his self serving interests against the interests of our country. That’s not sincere patriot. He only cares about Donald trump.
He has done more damage to our country, by a extremely wide margin than any of his great policies could benefit us with.
More damage to our country than any US citizen in history.
More damage to his party than any person from his or the other party in history.
More divisiveness than any one person in our country.
Incited more hatred than anyone in our history.
Biden’s policies and leadership stink for sure but my view has shifted to agreeing 100% with Larry.....except that I don’t hate trump....and he’s providing me with a heck of a test on that.
Despite my horrible review of Biden earlier, hes wrecking the country even less than Trump already did in my opinion.
You can’t put a price on the value of honoring the results of a legit election. It’s everything to our constitution.......to our country.
Somebody that does everything in their power to overthrow that and manages to take with him, the minds of many tens of millions of people sold to believe his proven many times total fraud on that issue is not capable of generating anything close to the positives to offset that off the charts negative.
Despite my horrible review of Biden earlier, hes wrecking the country even less than Trump already did in my opinion.
This is an extremely subjective observation that can easily be disputed by a huge selection of objective metrics. By any measurment of freedom and/or prosperity, this country is well below where it was a year ago.
I'm through debating the election with you MM. It's pointless. You've been shown evidence from Arizona and Fulton county that leave an objective person with the conclusion that the results were at best, highly questionable. But you dismiss that easily as you dismuiss autopsy reports. So much for science.
The most disturbing interpretation of ongoing events are that they are all in fact, outstanding successes, just as planned. And that the 3 branches of government are all just a ghoulish farce, petty carnival barkers swindling as easy as breathing to enrich themselves by doing as told. Thus, even greater emphasis on us all to be centered, loving, independent and precise in our alignment with Grace. Never has it been more important to be aware and capable of taking advantage of historic volatility and upheaval in the trading marketplace. Judiciously applying a leveraged scalpel to the various markets at the appropriate time, repetitive doubling of investment may be realized. The proverbial doubling reaches fantastic heights very quickly. Much needed, as a million dollars is almost basic requirement to insulate from the bitter winds coming.
Thanks hayman,
Very creative, open minded and positive way to see the upcoming opportunities......which really do exist for those looking in the right places.
