      He’s been better than Obama so far. He’s got way more worthwhile legislation passed (with fewer Democrats in congress), he pulled out of Afghanistan, which both Obama and Donnie knew we should do, and his economic recovery was faster than Obamas.

        Yeah as far as legislation goes he’s been one of the most effective presidents we’ve had. It’s been overshadowed by the media, constant rhetoric about his age and the small handful of mistakes he made. All in all he’s been good.

          It has been overshadowed by funding the genocide of Palestinians

            The same would happen under Trump. No escaping that truth. So pick your poison.

                Hold on, let me get the puke bag ready.

                You can’t let those those De- Palestinian guys run around. It’s really unfair to Israel. And and to us! You know what they’re saying; Donnie we want you to do more, send more. But the Democrats are… You know they’re impeaching me again? I should have the Justice Department knock on their door. It’s not fair, they’re not playing fair. I should get a third term for this. That’s the only really fair thing. People come up to me all the time and and they and they ask me, Mr. President (Trump just smiles for a full second) what are we going to do without you? Those nasty guys over at MSNBC are the real insurrectionists. Anyways I emergency deployed… Did you know I have that power? I do I do. I sent the 82nd Airborne to help my friend Bibi and I told them, “I like war heroes not prisoners”.

                Sorry that’s as far as I could get before I had to fill the bucket.

                    That’s the result of way too many hours where I had to look up a speech to see if he actually said something.

                Or you know, we could all get involved with the primary and off season election process and work to elect people that are inherently better than the options we got. 🤷‍♂️

                  Right, business as usual neoliberalism will save the country founded on the back of a genocide and a 300 year slave trade. Good call dude.

          Ahh yes I too like to refer to my housing and food costs being historically high as a handful of mistakes.

          Also, 27,000 Palestinians.

          He must have quite big hands.

            I have a feeling Biden has less to do with the rising costs of everything than the overt corporate greed displayed by the largest megacorps in the U.S. that own 90% of everything, but what do I know?

              The US government absolutely has a hand in food prices. The housing price is something he could do stuff about but just won’t.

          Nope, been alive since Reagan. Obama was a milquetoast do-nothing that cared more about what Republicans thought than the people who actually voted for him. We delivered him a supermajority and what did he do with it? He stripped the public option from Obamacare to please Republicans and then left it out despite not getting a single Republican vote.

          Biden has been forceful in pushing back against Republican obstructionists and right-wing extremists than Obama ever was and should’ve been. That’s a huge thing for me.
