What Didn’t President Biden Do Now?
 
One of the greatest threads that never was the prematurely locked perfectly named What Did President T**** Do Now.

Well it’s up on three weeks into the Dem majority so let’s see what hasn’t been done complete with a current A - F Grade

Immigration: F

Unless I’m wrong, link to me if I am, the ICE Concentration Camps, and the border is being regulated exactly the same as during the T—— administration. A man died of covid recently in south Georgia for the crime of being Haitian.

Health Care: F

Nothing is on the table and the vaccine rollout sucks. Even the best states are stuck on 65 and over and there’s no federal oversight in Florida so it’s exactly as if nothing has been won with the new government. People still wear or don’t wear masks as they see fit and social distancing is entirely optional. As far as any legislation to provide health care to the poor absolutely nothing.

Economy: F

Nothing signed to raise the federal minimum wage.

Stimulus: F

Still no check.

Trump Impeachment: F

Waste of time. Means nothing to me.

Police Reform: F

Nothing done

Environment: D

Since signing back into Paris Accord Nothing

Foreign policy: F

Same bull****. Trying to renegotiate with Iran instead of accepting the original terms.

Not inciting violent insurrections because of election results: A+

Hey I'll take that grade on the report card at least

Democrats being useless West Wing smooth brains is how we got Trump in the first place. Fail on stimulus checks and virus response and see if fascism doesn't simmer even hotter.

yeah I agree with you here, obviously Biden is better than Trump, but that's no excuse. No one should get points for not being a full-on fascist dictator wannabe. Start fixing **** already.

Unless your names are Alexandria or Bernie I have negative hopes for you as a president anyway. All I ever really expect is that they don't turn the US into an international laughingstock and/or actively rile up dangerous people. For the most part most of the presidents have been able to handle that.

Marie Monday 02-09-2021 04:22 PM

same, but that doesn't mean we can't (or shouldn't) get mad at them for being bad. Or start fun ****post threads about it

What president hasn’t actively riled up dangerous people?

Do you think the dangerous people will go home and this all just ends and we get to go to brunch? This has been building in some form since at least the 70s and it's finally reached a level where mainstream culture can't just brush it off and ignore it so 90% of the population are barely if at all aware of it.

More ineffective presidents are only going to add more fuel to the fire. If Biden does nothing to deal with wealth inequality, healthcare, COVID, etc, the next Trump will be worse and this country may burn.

In Biden's early days, signs of Trump-era problems at border (from @AP) https://apnews.com/article/083f7d627...fa4bdeffb726c6

Quote:

The day after she gave birth in a Texas border hospital, Nailet and her newborn son were taken by federal agents to a holding facility that immigrants often refer to as the “icebox.”

Inside, large cells were packed with women and their young children. Nailet and her son were housed with 15 other women and given a mat to sleep on, with little space to distance despite the coronavirus pandemic, she said. The lights stayed on round the clock. Children constantly sneezed and coughed.

I think you guys need to remember that the Trump admin closed their doors to a peaceful and cooperated transfer of power for months so I'm giving the Biden administration a pass because they're literally two months behind on time taking bureaucratic bullsh*t that has to occur before things start taking effect.

It’s federal. It’s under the executive branch. Biden can stop this. He’s not a senator anymore. He doesn’t have to ask anybody. He has the authority to fire anyone employed as an ICE agent. He has the authority to close those detention centers. He has the authority to stop those deportations.

He’s either being a coward or he actually supports the policies put in place by the Trump administration. If he says one thing and then doesn’t follow through that’s called lying. So far it appears he’s pretending to object to Trump’s racist immigration policies while in practice continuing on with the same bull****.

Y’all want him to get a grace period? How long then? How long are we supposed to accept this as a bureaucratic cluster**** that can’t be fixed? If your loved one was in a detention center how patient would you be? What if it was your child?

I didn't see social workers at the capital, nor have I seen them quell rioting in Portland.
We need social workers now!

So police reform = replacing all police with social workers huh?

That's what you think?

OccultHawk 02-10-2021 12:10 PM

What does defund mean?

Liberals had a little fun with that word until they looked it up I guess.

There’s a certain segment of the population that understands you cannot exist without funding. Some people call people who understand that “class reductionists”

The Biden administration on Friday announced plans for tens of thousands of asylum-seekers waiting in Mexico for their next immigration court hearings to be allowed into the United States while their cases proceed.

The first of an estimated 25,000 asylum-seekers in Mexico with active cases will be allowed in the United States on Feb. 19, authorities said. They plan to start slowly with two border crossings each processing up to 300 people a day and a third crossing taking fewer. Administration officials declined to name them out of fear they may encourage a rush of people to those locations.

The move is a major step toward dismantling one of former President Donald Trump’s most consequential policies to deter asylum-seekers from coming to the U.S. About 70,000 asylum-seekers were enrolled in “ Remain in Mexico,” officially called “Migrant Protection Protocols,” since it was introduced in January 2019.

Psy-Fi 02-12-2021 11:25 AM

“Remain in Mexico” or RIM. Would that be a Trump rim job?

I went to the bathroom and AOC was there and I said "Hi aren't you AOC?" and she without speaking gave me the Stanic Bible and I read the first page and she left well that's not the correct sequence of events but basically I read the page and it said "Hi Tristan!!!
