Just off the top of my head:

- Organized a hate/terrorist group called Black Lives Matter, defended them while they killed hundreds of black and non-black people alike, then called them "mostly peaceful protesters."

- Ironically, they then smeared a group of actual mostly peaceful protesters on January 6th, 2021 who did nothing but trespass through Congress, hurting no one in the process (but a few of them getting shot by police; ironically no BLM protests for that), and smearing them as "insurrectionists" without charging them as such, with literally the most braindead and useless people in America still believing the lie and willing to protect the scumbags in Washington over their fellow citizens.

- Then there's the Kyle Rittenhouse sh* t where self defense against three convicted felons and sex offenders trying to kill you is labeled "White supremacy." Again, with only the stupidest people in society believing the lies they put out there.

- There's the Covington Catholic students they labeled as "white supremacists" without proof.

- There's the George Floyd court case and trial of Derek Chauvin where they harassed and sent death threats to the jury, even getting politicans involved to do the same, which should have been a complete mistrial with that alone, but wasn't.

- Andrew Cuomo intentionally killing hundreds of senior citizens by forcing those with COVID 19 to go into senior citizen homes, causing the problem to spread and for countless elders to die as a result. And this piece of sh*t still hasn't been charged for anything yet.

- There's Biden abandoning Americans and allies in Afghanistan and (intentionally) leaving behind billions of dollars of equipment for ISIS.

And so much more. I'm not even getting into the incompetent leadership since 2021 started. When you say it out loud, these people 100% literally deserve to be executed by firing squad. I don't believe in good and evil, but willful intent to destroy people's lives or get them life in prison for CNN ratings or politcal clout is 100% worth the firing squad and I say that with zero hyperbole or exaggeration. If there was any justice in this world, these people would be straight up assassinated with the harshest intent and no sympathy. Hell, I'd put a bullet in Cuomo's skull myself and I don't even have grandparents or anyone who died of COVID.

When they look back at this moment in history, it'll be clear that these people 100% are what some would call "pure evil" and deserve to be killed. The BLM sh*t, the kangaroo court with Derek Chauvin, the Rittenhouse trial, the Covington Catholic kids... All racial motivated and would fit under "hate crimes" if these people had any consistency.

And it's not like the Republicans aren't capable of doing this. But they simply haven't. So if some bitch-ass soy boy wants to give me some "Whataboutisms" regarding the right or some stupid non- issue with Trump, I'm not interested so save your time. What the left has done in the past three years is unforgivable and justice will come to them, sooner or later.

There have definitely been some legislative successes but I wish something could have been done to protect voting rights and more on climate change. Still, better than what we had during the previous administration.

Honestly my favorite one was when they threw out Trump's insulin reducing act, and then put it back up to make it look like they did it.

Blocking each and every effort to bring a legal end to slavery, forcing a Civil War, and preventing slavery from actually ENDING in this country, instead of just being nationalized. Or possibly blocking the efforts of unionization that forced the labor wars, but that was more bipartisan.

If you mean from Biden himself, I'd say it's a toss-up between writing the proto-Patriot Act (the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995) and claiming later it was in response to the the Oklahoma City bombing, which happened two months AFTER the bill was introduced and implementing his "Dear Colleague" letter changes in 2011 which absolutely destroyed the notion of due process on college campuses receiving federal money (almost all of them) in cases of alleged sexual assault, in response to a rape crisis that never actually HAPPENED.

If you mean the current crop of Washington Democrats as a whole, I'd say coming up with an "Inflation Reduction Act" that will INCREASE inflation, showing a lack of basic knowledge about where inflation comes from, or maybe tossing out Trump's insulin price reduction act, then reintroducing it, claiming it as their own, because NO PRICE IS TOO GREAT to force the horrible Orange Man from power- even though he already has been.

For the current Democrats as a whole, it was continuing and expanding the massive fearmongering campaign over a virus less lethal than chicken pox, wiping out civil rights like houseguests in an Agatha Christie novel, maintaining it LONG after it became obvious that their changes were not only a civic nightmare, but killing MORE people than the virus would've if just left free to run rampant.

But sure, talk about how saying impolite things on social media is TOTALLY the worst thing a person can do.

MuddyMole · Answer

Since you mention it, I don't like the way they always use those lame, childish, and often very tenuous, backronyms for every new act.
eg.
PACT - "Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics".
CHIPS - "Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors".
FABS - "Facilitating American-Built Semiconductors".

There are more here: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/08/congress-acronyms-backronyms-bill-names/
... including the best worst example: DAIRY - Dairy Augmentation for Increased Retail in Yogurt Products Act.

Although, in fairness, the Republicans have had a few of their own, like the USA PATRIOT act - "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism". I bet someone got paid a lot of money to come up with that.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most Orwellian name for a law since the Patriot Act.

“Investment” is also an Orwellian name for “Spending.” When I invest money, I get a return, government doesn’t.

If you think 80,000 more IRS agents is a good thing, you are on welfare, have craniotomy-rectal inversion, are a liberal not worried about the weaponization of the IRS, or all of the above.

I’ve been audited three times. Once, they agreed my taxes were correct. Once, they refunded me a dollar. That was worth everyone’s time. Once, they threw out perfectly legitimate deductions and soaked me for $500. A top notch tax attorney told me my taxes were right, but his minimum fee was $750. It’s standard practice for the tax collectors to target the little guy who can’t fight them, or would lose money if he did.

All government figures on job creation are nonsense because they never factor in the jobs that would have been created if I could have kept me own money.

Passenger rail is obsolete. Honolulu is building a commuter rail system that, based on current projections, will cost more that a Bentley Continental per passenger.

I could go on all day, but it would be pointless. Joe Biden was a pathological liar and a moron long before he went senile. I never thought we would have a president so incompetent I’d miss Jimmy Carter.

NewsReader · Answer

Again, you don't know the pros and cons of each bill. The "Inflation Reduction Act" will increase inflation because it increases taxes and encourages more government spending. And the other acts they passed also increase spending. Where does the money come from? YOU! The taxpayer. The funniest part is how democrats try to encourage organizations to transition to green energy. They complain that large organizations pay little to no taxes. Do you know why the result is always the same? They enact laws laws to encourage organizations to switch to green energy through things like giving tax credits. Organizations use those benefits to increase their budget by paying less taxes. And then democrats complain that the organization paid no taxes. Get it? That is so stupid. All the things you listed are not what you think. There is a lot behind the name that does not do what they claim. Just do your research.

Ill_made_Knight · Answer

They need to get better at their messaging, blowing their own horns if you will... They are doing some good things and then allowing the R's to spin things in a negative way through massive loud speakers. Nothing that they have done could be considered even nearly as bad as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" of 2017 which was a massive gift to the wealthy and the corporations AND ballooned the defecit by an estimated 1 to 2 trillion by 2025... all so Exxon and others like themcan performmassive stock buy backs.
They weren't good at messaging how terrible this was either.

monorprise · Answer

FYI the unemployment numbers were lower per-pandemic and more people were actually working, so no they still haven't set any records yet, unless you count dept. Really its also kind of a made and really phony number, if you measured unemployment the way it was done before it would still be quite high.

But presidents and their staff have altered the definitions and measurements for a 100 years to make it look better for themselfs.

Its worth noting that Unemployment in the 19th century was soo low it was actually regarded as a crime to be unemployed known as vagrancy.

'Modern' ideas of 'unemployment' is very much a government/culturally created phenomenon of the highly restrictive regulatory/welfare state. After the progressive era we literally outlawed many forms of work and started paying people not to work at all.

Afghanistan.

Joe Biden. Having a senile president whose only son left has weird dealings with China is a national liability. We don't know what he already hasn't done to appease his sons business partners.

Open Borders, letting criminals in.

Inflation. And no it's not Russia's fault. Russia is a weak shithole that can't even invade a country far weaker than them. They are not responsible for our inflation. Stop making them stronger than they actually are.

Gas prices. America has a perfectly well functioning oil industry that is crippled by democrat regulations.

888theGreat · Answer

Inflation 9% and really higher. Wasting money on projects that won't work. Most of the money won;t go where they said it would. It will end up paying it to friends and DNC for campaigns to stay in power.

Gas prices still $6 a gallon in some places , $4.75 average every where else. Two negative months of growth. A recession. No good jobs. Higher Taxes on anyone making $25,000 or more.

Trying to control who other party can run for President. Trying to outlaw guns. Eliminating free speech and violating constitution daily.

Making illegal deals. Trying to start a war with Russia and China. Putting Environment ahead of people. Killing kids with abortion , if they make it , then killing them by not making baby formula.

Paying farmers not to grow food , so they can starve Americans to death. Trying to put oil companies out of business.

I would keep going but I am getting tired.

Anonymous · Answer

I could have a long response to all of this. But really ask a group of 1000 random Americans and ask them if they feel better off than 4 years ago. With record inflation, the recession, overseas tensions, border crisis, etc. I bet you a hundred bucks most people would say no.

Also Biden STILL has a lower approval rating than Trump besides all this Orwellian “Inflation Reduction Act” bullshit and renewed fixation on Trump. If anybody believes that will bill reduce inflation you have Down syndrome. Not kidding.

notwoke · Answer

most of the things above are inherently bad if you dig a little. Here's one example:

Expands Medicare benefits: free vaccines (2023), $35/month insulin (2023) and caps out-of-pocket drug
costs to an estimated $4,000 or less in 2024 and settling at $2,000 in 2025

All of these things have to be paid for and they should be paid for by the people who are benefiting. Democrats will tax big corporations to pay for this which in turn will drive inflation and lower the stock returns of the companies where our 401K's are invested. Remember, corporations don't pay taxes, they collect them from you and i when they sell us food, cars, refrigerators, etc. There's no free lunch. This should be called the "inflation increasing act".

Joey will sell you to the CCP and by the way those tax loophole closures aren't stopping anything, not that it'll matter when they seize everything you own from your car to your house to any investments or cash you might hold and even cut your wedding ring off your finger because they'll be deleting names and dissolving marriages as part of the mass genocide that's afoot

Anonymous · Answer

As usual, there's a lot of misinformation in this, for example, the $35 monthly insulin cap applies ONLY to Medicare subscribers, and ONLY if your insurance company participates in it. And what the fuck is wrong with that? Insulin is cheap to make at this point, but a cash cow for drug companies.

The $35 cap did NOT pass for any other insured, which is a BAD thing. It's a BAD thing when your decision becomes "do I get the insulin my son needs, or pay my utility bill and keep the heat on".

What the fuck did the Republitards do for the "working class" under Trump? Nothing. Zero. Don't bother answering.

HighValue · Answer

You are just spreading their lies and false claims. Democrats (Biden in particular) ruined our economy and made most of the country poor due to Biden preventing oil drilling and raising the costs of fuel significantly, which increased the price of other goods, including food. Plus they let in illegals with fentanyl to kill more Americans, they let out criminals, etc. Democrats are horrible immoral dishonest people.

THE WORST THING THEY DO; WHEN BILL CLINTON WAS THE PRESIDENT, HAPPENED. ON THOSE YEARS, DEMOCRATS BORROWED LOANS FROM CHINA AND DID NOT PAY BACK THE INTERESTS; SO AFTER SEVERAL TIMES THE USA HAD SEEN ITSELF IN A DEEP SWAMP BECAUSE CHINA FINED THEM. AND NOW THE USA DOWNGRADE FROM A SUPERPOWER COUNTRY TO A WEAK ONE AND RANSOM TO CHINA BECAUSE OF DEPT TRAP.

49 Democratic Senators tried to redefine the word "Murder" and then legalize it. They were defeated by 1 Democrat refusing to go along with it.

Every one of them should be impeached and executed for crimes against humanity under constitutional law and the Established Legal precedent of the Nuremburg Trials.

Avicenna · Answer

That's some serious cherry picking. But the falsely-named "Inflation Protection Act" won't reduce inflation.

Worst thing so far is deliberately causing the highest inflation in 40 years with their war on fossil fuels and then deliberately engineering a recession by raising interest rates instead of moving away from the deliberately destructive energy policy.

MJstheman23 · Answer

We can't afford cars, houses, rent, groceries, gas etc. Our boarder is overrun right now, they want to change the definition of Woman, inflation, baby's, and they've weaponized the DOJ and the FBI against parents and political opponents. This is just scratching the surface. So you can take your bs Inflation Bill, your bs jobs creation, low unemployment lies, your CHIPs bill which was already addressed in the bs Inflation bill, bs not an infrastructure bill andshove it up your lying libtard ass.

you can not get millionairs to contribute more to society. if you tax them more, they find ways to avoid the tax or they increase the product prices, so at the end of the day, the customer aka the normal non millionaire pays for the tax increase anyway.

VforVindication · Answer

All i have to say is that Republicans should prepare themselves for what is to come. Stay on guard and never relax around you know who. Because lots of racists against whites will not accept a white President that does things for his white people. They like Biden because he wants a never ending stream of immigration which is insane. Save the US, close down the borders!

TroyDT · Answer

The so-called Inflation Reduction Act is a joke. Anyone who believes that raising the costs of doing business will lower prices is in dire need of a course in Basic Economics.

Anyway, the worst thing? Nominating a borderline-senile dude and his incompetent running mate. With several candidates who had executive experience as governors originally in the mix they could have done a lot better.
