"Feminist scram dancing".......
That is hilarious!!! LOLOLOL I was prepared to read some of the usual junk from Laffy or Inicky (blaming Trump and conservative for their toenail fungus or ingrown ass hairs)..... but this post definitely made my day today !So, since some folks in here feel that Biden is doing a shitty job, what would you do to solve the following issues:
1. High Gas Prices - RIght now, OPEC doesn't want to drop the price or drill more. Our oil companies don't want to drill or drop prices for a variety of reasons including profit, costs, refinnery availability, employee availability. So, what to do to make the above happen?
2. Inflation - how do u fix overnight? That seems to be the request from everyone. Given the fact that the FED is a big part of controlling inflation, what do u want them to do?
3. Ukraine - How do u get this terrible war stopped?
Believe me, if the R's get to power in the house and senate, thats the stuff they are going to be asked. Nobody is going to give a shit about Hunter Biden's laptop.
The Qs you ask are of immediate importance, of course. People were asked the same sort of Qs about other issues not too long ago.
.
4. What would you do about health care? Reps say REPEAL the ACA!! Trump's health plan to REPLACE the ACA will be ready in two weeks ... NOT!
.
5. What would you do about our crumbling infrastructure? Trump's infrastructure plan will be ready in two weeks ... NOT!
.
6. What would you do about an imminent pandemic that high ranking health officials and numerous advisors have warned you will likely be very, very, serious. Trump's plan was to eliminate the pandemic response team left over from the previous administration and then do nothing but hope that it will go away, like a miracle, in the spring.

and what to ignore, are you taking over for Laffy on the "But, but, but what about Trump?" responses? You ignored the OP and highjacked the thread with your own OP, so you could get in the gratuitous Trump-bashing like Laffy always did.
First of all, he's pretty much said he's going to run for Prez again so he's a legitimate target.
Not to mention many of our problems go back to blunders he made as recently as two years ago.
Please don't be such a snowflake every time someone mentions his name.
take over for Laffy and turn every topic into, " . . . . but what about Trump." I just asked if that's his plan and I will put him on ignore the way I did Laffy. If an OP seeks to compare Trump to Biden on any issue, then I agree, he should unload all of his anti-Trump vitriol, but if the OP topic is something else, and he wants to change it to Trump, then he is no better than Laffy, and I will ignore him. He should have started a new thread about Trump, and those that want to post on it can.
To make it MORE clear for you, my point was that PAST PERFORMANCE of Reps under Trump IS an indicator of future performance and even CURRENT performance.
.
E.g., Reps are against gun control (another timely issue) and call for better mental health services BUT THEY REFUSE TO FUND expanded mental health and social services. Instead of restoring the assault weapons restrictions, they call for "hardening" schools but they do not fund it. Since they won't fund hardening anything (other than their resistance to any sort of solution to the gun violence problems), they will likely expand their "hardening the schools" solution to hardening houses of worship and then hardening shopping malls and big box stores and then hardening concert venues and then hardening night clubs and then hardening street fairs and then hardening ... it won't matter because they won't fund any hardening of any thing.

Republicans are not in control of Congress. They cannot fund anything they want to do about anything, so it's premature to start bashing them about not doing anything until after they regain control of Congress in the midterms. THEN is they don't fix things, you can blame them, unless, of course, Joe vetos whatever they pass, then you have to blame Joe, right?
Anything the R's try to pass has to survive the filibuster. IMHO, if it survives that, then Biden will sign it. Until be bill is passed by Congress, u can't blame Joe for anything.
another election in 2024 for the GOP get two thirds of the Senate. The Dem's don't have a platform, and it looks like they won't have one for 2024 either. They just keep doubling down on hurting average American. One person, one vote will solve the problem.
The Trump Republicans didn't bother to adopt a platform for the 2020 election.
Then, when they failed to win, they tried to steal it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_elections_by_popular_vote_margin
2000 George W. Bush 47.87% Gore 52.2% MORE VOTES FOR GORE (51 M to 50.4 M)
2004 George W. Bush 50.7% Kerry 48.3% more votes for Bush (62 M to 60 M)
2008 Barack Obama 52.93% John McCain 47.1%
2012 Barack Obama 51.06% Mitt Romney 48.9%
2016 Donald Trump 46.09% Clinton 53.91% MORE VOTES FOR CLINTON (65 M to 62 M)
2020 Joe Biden 51.31% Donald Trump 48.7% more votes for Biden (81 M to 74 M)
They desperately need the Electoral College to have a hope of taking the White House. Of course, they also need massive election fraud. But they are gearing up for that.
prevents states like New York and California from unilaterally controlling election outcome for a whole nation of 50 states by shear force of numbers. Republicans are against election fraud, like drop boxes, lack of ID, etc. Georgia had more blacks turn out for this recent primary WITH their ID's than turned out for the 2020 election when no ID was required. The new law in GA works, and all of the naysayers about voter suppression have been debunked.
First you say, "one man, one vote." Then you add, except when it applies to New York and CA.
Neat trick.
The Electoral College is archaic. This BS of New York and CA controlling the outcome of an election is BS. Elections should be decided by a vote. Period. If someone doesn't get the votes, thats their fault. Nobody else. If u can't win on total vote, why the hell should you be elected
You're living in fantasy land if u think thats going to happen. 2/3, come on!!!!

House Republicans tout infrastructure funding they voted against
Democrats have been quick to criticize it as "voting no and taking the dough."
.
"In November, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., was one of 205 House Republicans to vote against the bipartisan, $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill, calling it irresponsible and the "Green New Deal in disguise." On Friday, he took to Twitter to tout funding from the bill he voted against -- highlighting a $70 million expansion of the Port of Virginia in Norfolk -- one of the busiest and deepest ports in the United States. ..."
.
And that is typical. A lot of legislation is being blocked (e.g., Voting Rights) due to the hyperpolarization of our system. Would anyone argue that Trumpism is one the major factors? Anything with "Obama" on it must be repealed!!! Anything with "Biden" on it must be blocked!!!
.
Also, Reps are free to propose legislative measures but they have no plans to propose. Health Care "in two weeks" = nothing. Mental health / social services to back up their call for it as a way to deal with gun violence = nothing. And on and on.
.
If some Reps support a measure, a bill, a regulation, a law, an appointment and Dems support it, too, it should be approved and enacted without having to fear being primaried in the next election cycle. Government is no longer bipartisan, it is dystopian.

I didn't want to Edit and send my post into a long delay for Moderation. More from the article I cited in the post, above:

....
"Wittman is the latest member of a growing group of Republicans celebrating new initiatives they originally opposed on the floor.
Shortly after voting against the measure last fall, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., celebrated its hundreds of millions in funding for a stalled highway project in Birmingham.
Last week, Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, touted new funding for a flood control project from the package, which she opposed last year, decrying it at the time as a "so-called infrastructure bill."
Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, a freshman lawmaker who also voted against the infrastructure bill, celebrating new "game-changing" funding to upgrade locks along the Upper Mississippi River. ..."
.
"A spokesperson for Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House Republican who touted a $1 billion investment in flood protection and hurricane repairs in his home state funded by the package he opposed, told ABC News that the GOP whip has "consistently supported these flood protection projects" and approved earlier legislation to pave the way for them. ..."
1 – Rescind all bidens EO’s regarding energy. Gas prices started going up within a few weeks after he signed those EO’s.
2- see number 1, it is a good start. You cannot fix overnight what took biden over a year to fuck up.
3- Give Ukrain all the weapons (no nuclear chemical biological) they need to defeat putin, and get it all there faster.
Believe me, people can give a shit about more than one thing at a time to include all the above and cunter biben’s laptop too.
2022 = 28
4 - Resume building the wall
http://nypost.com/2021/10/11/100-million-in-border-wall-materials-wasted-in-texas-report/
U mean this wall?
whose business is to provide services to illegal migrants. Their claim of Trump's wall failure is because it did not reach the stated operational goal of allowing zero illegal entries into the US. Do you think that's because it was not yet finished? DHS's own internal reports said the wall was highly effective ON THE PART THAT WAS COMPLETED. It's disingenuous for them to say it's a failure when only about a third was completed. Not surprisingly, the hoards of illegals coming in now are not coming through the areas that have the walls, they are coming where there is no wall. That pretty much tells the story.
Provide a link to your sources. Most (~400 miles) of "the wall" was the reconstruction of EXISTING wall. Less than 80 miles of "new wall" was constructed. But yes, old wall in urban areas that had deteriorated over time is now less porous and performing better than it was before the repairs / reconstruction. Most experts still agree that it makes no sense to build a Trumpian wall in desolate areas where other methods are more economical and effective.
