Instead he continues to rile up the rubes to assuage his insatiable ego. He, a self-proclaimed builder, could contribute his time and money to Habitat for Humanity, for example. But no! He'd rather whine about a stolen election and his unfair persecution while running principled conservatives from office in favor of lunatics and fascists.
2. Biden has the greatest record of legislative achievement in the first 18 months of his presidency in modern times, whether you (or I) like the legislation or not. This is particularly noteworthy considering Democrats' razor-thin majority in Congress. To wit: - Inflation Reduction Act
- PACT Act (addressing veterans' burn-pit exposure)
- CHIPS and Science Act
- Safer Communities Act (first meaningful gun control legislation in 30 years)
- American Rescue Plan
- Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (something Trump promised nearly every week for 4 years)
- Violence Against Women Act (allowed by Trump to expire)
All Trump got done was a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the big business and the wealthy.
Beyond that Biden: - Reestablished our traditional alliances, treaties (NATO, Paris Climate Accords)
- Backed the right side in the Russia/Ukraine war (Trump called Putin's naked aggression there "genius," "savvy" and "wonderful.")
- Reestablished America as a beacon for democracy and not ChristoFascism (as Trump did)
- Presided over the year with the greatest job growth in American history and strongest GDP growth in nearly 40 years.
And these accomplishments pale compared to his greatest achievement - Denying Trump a second term and forestalling Trump's push towards a corrupt, violent ChristoFascist autocracy. |
1). BS. The investigations have been going on for 6 years. I suspect you'd be whining too if you were the subject of federal and state investigations - which so far have produced multiple nothing burgers - which continue with no end in sight.
2). BS. With the possible exception of the infrastructure funding, and we'ii need to wait and see how the money is actually spent - the rest of the items you listed are wonderful if you're a DC political animal. You can get your photo op on C Span slapping your useless colleagues on the back and call it a day.
Meanwhile, if you're not immersed in all things DC, inflation I'd still out of control (which the so called Inflation Reduction Act will actually add to), gas prices are up, crime is up, the border is wide open, and DC appears to have no answers for any of it.
"Christofascist"? Sounds like religious intolerance to me.
