United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

[Zyobot]

I put him at dubyas level for now

Where does George fall relative to Jimmy, do you think?

Personally, I’d say Dubya was actually a bit worse, since he had a trifecta of disasters—the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, and the Great Recession—to answer for. (Although, yes, Carter was still a subpar president who failed economically and diplomatically.)

How was hurricane Katrina his fault?

The guy in charge of New Orleans delayed evacuations even though Bush was telling him to evacuate and he didn't follow any of the set evacuation procedures. Remember the famous videos of the parking lots full of buses that were supposed to be used for evacuations but were ignored till they were underwater?

Admittedly the media blamed Bush for everything but even a little research showed the failures were almost entirely local.

And the great recession was a Obama thing. His policies were strangling the economy causing one of the most anemic recoveries from a market crash ever.

Bushes mistake was agreeing to bailing out the banks instead of just letting them go bankrupt. Too big to fail is a abomination of a economic policy that spits in the face of regular people. Couldn't let the big doners go down when our money can prop them up.

Don't get me wrong. Bush was a disaster that only gets worse in hindsight but 2 of your 3 examples don't really apply as criticisms of him.

Well Carters incompetence actually caused gasoline rationing, Some of the older people I know who were around during his time told me you had to get permission just to be able to get the fuel to drive across states.

So, “yes” to Carter being worse, then?

Well the Biden regime seems to be trying really hard to surpass Carter, Food shortages weren't a thing under his regime.

Not my question. What I meant was, do you believe Carter was a worse president than Bush II, yes or no?

Thats a difficult call, Carter was horrible in the short term but Bush II was worst in the long term.

Aight, fair ’nough.

Don’t have much else to add right now, since it’s late and I’ll be hitting the hay soon. So, time zones notwithstanding, I wish you a good night.

I don't understand how the Biden regime politically benefits from killing the oil industry at every chance.

 

[Arch Dornan]

I'll worry about Kamala if/when she becomes POTUS.

Also, as bad as Kamala may be, at least she doesn't have dementia.

Biden is worse than any POTUS in our history, even fucking Nixon.

When she becomes POTUS I have bets she'll be cackling her way to crisis after crisis.

She has zero charisma, Its sort of amazing that she has made it this far politically considering shes actually somehow less popular than Dick Cheney

Mrs. President what is your plan for China invading Taiwan right now?

Mrs. President what is your plan for illegal migrants destroying the wall with C4 and entering the border while fully armed?

Mrs. President what is your plan to all the crisis the United States has to deal with right now?



Mrs. President a nuke was launched at us what do we do?

 

[Rocinante]

I'm going to say Biden is in a tight competition for the worst, and may very well end up being the worst.

Aside from COVID, America was entering another golden age under Trump.

The covid effects ended. We should be totally recovered and back at our golden age levels.... Yet every single decision Biden's handlers make, makes things worse.

It's so bad, that it easily could be malice rather than incompetence.

If the US wasn't on strong footing from the economic foundation Trunp built, we would be far worse off.

Which is why when you look at the great depression, and say "well Biden isn't that bad," ...well he actually might be. But the country is in a position where it's hard for the economy to crash THAT badly. Though Biden seems to be trying his hardest to get us there.

Years from now when the politics wear off and people can look at this more objectively, he will be a serious contender for the worst president in history.

 

[Urabrask Revealed]

Biden is going to set a new standard for 'bad POTUS' that will surpass any of his predecessors.

That assumes the MSM and the lackeys at the universities won't bury his failures as deep as possible while attributing what they can't bury to the Right.

Not to derail, but I assume they’ve already done that time and again before?

That.And fact that next democratic president would be so "good",that we would scream "we want Biden again"

A lot of the things this admin has done are downright bizarre and must be coming from a place of malice because it doesn't make any sense otherwise. His clamp down on the oil industry for instance or having the FBI harass parents who show up to school board meetings. Like what he's doing is political suicide and he's dragging the whole party down with him. I don't understand how anyone profits from a lot of these actions either, It just doesn't make any sense.

And trying vax mandates. And the new ministry of truth.

I don't get it either.

I think they pay too much attention to Twitter opinions, which might be heavily bots, and don't represent the majority of the population. They're doing this stuff for them.

We should keep in mind that it's not (necessarily) Biden the Man who's making these decisions. At his age and in his demented state, he's bound to have "handlers" calling the shots for him, as lots of people here rightly point out.

Personally, I think he makes a convenient "fall guy" for whatever disastrous actions the powers that be take, seeing as he physically embodies—not just in role, but also in appearance and mannerisms—a terminally ill status quo waiting to flatline, so even if it's not (entirely) his fault that things have gone south, he'll still make a great scapegoat. (And, while I can't refute what @Urabrask Revealed has said about history being rewritten to "rehabilitate" Biden later, I've a feeling it's equally plausible that Biden gets thrown under the bus, while his handlers get off scot-free—much to the detriment of America at large. )

Sure it does, if your goal is to enable 'The Great Reset' and to 'Build Back Better'.

Think of it as the same methodology used by drill instructors and interrogators; break down the new subjects mentally never-ending with stress, deprivation, seemingly senseless orders/acts, while seeming extending a few 'nice things' here and there (student debt loan forgiveness, stimulus payments, etc) to induce Stockholm Syndrome/compliance.

Now add in the "Green New Deal" BS that the Dems still want to ram through via any means possible, and the whole 'critical race theory shit, and a lot of the actions the Biden Admin is doing make plenty of sense.

The fact is I think a lot of people here probably already understood this, but they also know that admitting as much means admitting that what Biden is doing is not 'random' or 'senseless', and that the Dems know what they want and are using their power to get it via any means necessary.

You can all cling to the hope of a 'Red Wave', but don't be overly surprised if it's barely a "Red Ripple", due to how much power is backing Biden and the Dems.

The amount of Right-Wing cope and denial about how fucked things are is darkly humorous a lot of the time, but I'm absolutely over going along with the charade.
