[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 389717, member: 35"] You said [I]tough [/I]decisions, not [I]correct[/I] decisions. And I'd still argue that any correct decisions Biden's made were done because it's become politically expedient to do so. That doesn't make him a tough, "forward thinking" leader. Biden voted for the Afghanistan war and wrote the 1994 crime bill, which means he's just repealing his own bad policies. Dems only make tweaks around the margins. It makes them seem better than Republicans on paper, but reality is bleaker. Biden's also negated his own good policies by funding the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, issuing more drilling permits than Trump, allowing the minimum wage to stagnant, etc. The Dems take one step forward and two giant steps back, and we're supposed to call that progress. The main promise Biden delivered on was the one he made to his donors when he said "nothing will fundamentally change." True, but he is an authority figure who interviewed Biden and made a judgement call. His professional opinion was exactly what many people have been thinking for years. At this point, the people making excuses for Biden's mental impairment might as well be saying "Who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes?” More war, poverty, a border crisis, a homeless crisis, loss of livelihood for people as a result of Covid restrictions, etc. Biden may not have destroyed "what had previously been good" in the US, but he's certainly continued what was already bad. Well, I do know that people should have at least been comped for lost wages if they were going to be forced to stay home. A single $1400 check ($600 less than promised) just added insult to injury. This was another example of crumbs intended to placate people, despite being woefully insufficient. That is precisely why people who despise Trump seemingly come to his defense occasionally. Some people are programmed to automatically believe the worst about Trump unequivocally, while demanding due process for Biden. As someone who despises them both, it's interesting to see how they've each cultivated their own group of devotees. The justice system has proven to be imperfect on many occasions, but there are people who put their faith in it if it confirms their confirmation bias. [/QUOTE]
