You mean, the Border Wall that was being breached in multiple locations, [i]even before it was finished[/i]? That border wall? What an utter boondoogle.But it did make pardoned felon and prominent member of Trump’s orbit Steve Nannon rich from the grift, so I suppose that counts as a win in the minds of the MAGAts. Once again, Biden was ready to sign the new border security legislation worked out in a bipartisan deal with considerable asssitwnce from Mitch McConnell, handing both sides a win, but Smellvis directed the House to kill it. The ReichWing forfeited any high ground it maybe possessed on this issue.
Provide [i]any[/i] source for Biden apologizing to the killer, so I can ascertain that [i]just once[/i] you’ll support an assertion with facts, not your “feelings”.
@NativePortlander1970 Why? For guiding the nation as safely as humanly possiblethrough the pandemic and helping coordinate efforts to roll the vaccine out at record speed?I teach on a prison.I caught CoVid once before the vaccine.It nearly killed me. The second time was after 2 doses of vaccine and a booster,p. It was no worse than the flu. First responders and educators were mighty appreciative.
If you think living paycheck to paycheck, paying twice to 3 times as much for goods and services, and seeing your medical costs go through the stratosphere is a good thing, then you must be very wealthy. Low taxes? That's a hoot. I'm in the bottom 60% and have seen my taxes go up and up since Biden took over.
Yes, I just love paying $5.10 a gallon for discount gasoline when it was $2 a gallon 4 years ago. Not to mention inflated prices on everything and anything else and an invasion of 7 million+ illegals now camping out in schools, airports, everywhere else.
Adding another 70 thousand taxpayer funded, hundred grand a year government employees cost : Seven billion a year.
Getting the fake news to call 75 thousand full time workers getting part time jobs : Net loss of 100 thousand full time jobs employers can now fill with desperate skilled yet insurance free part timers: Six and a half billion dollars in lost taxable revenues.
Getting the Treasury secretary to say skyrocketing means reduced
@Jake966 Yes, off of the back of the pandemic that Trump [i]ignored[/i] on [i]purpose[/i, in part because it first impacted blue states [i]less likely to vote for him[/i]. Guess which states bail out the red ones?
@Patriot96 There are far fewer people without insurance now than there were before Obamacare. It works. And will continue to work, despite Republican efforts to repeal it and screw people.
@Jake966 says [quote]It’s something that you use a pandemic that Trump tried to keep from coming into this country by restricting travel[/quote] You mean the pandemic Trump spent 5 weeks lying about while it was spreading?? You mean the pandemic that Trump botched our response to??
All through Trump's term, our Covid per capita death rate was DOUBLE that of countries like Canada & Germany, resulting in about 550,000 Covid deaths under Trump.
If Trump had handled Covid as well as, say, Justin Trudeau, we'd have had 275,000 FEWER DEATHS! Put another way, Trump's mis-management of Covid cost more deaths than THREE Viet Nam wars!! Three Viet Nams in a SINGLE YEAR, not spread out over ten years like the actual war!!!
Sure, Covid came from outside. And different leaders in different countries managed it differently. Trump's piss-poor Covid management is made clear by the relative per capita death rates.
[quote]"I look at it this way," Birx told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta. "The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."[/quote]
@ElwoodBlues Trump had a few different walls to choose from. I think he picked one of the most expensive ones even though it was one of the least secure. And the reason he picked that one might be because the contractors of that wall offered him the most kickbacks. I remember Trump was having a photo Op in front of the wall and he was ranting about how strong it was and how it had motion detectors at the top. Then he turned to a border guard and said – isn’t that right and the border guard said – ummm the motion detectors were supposed to be a secret. Trump probally knew that or should of know that but he babbled about it anyway. Cheers!
