Will President Biden be remembered as a good president?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

Unsure

[abc3643]

Actually, he will be.

In fact, he's rated rather highly by presidential historians already.

He's been a very good president but not charismatic. Washington was like that.

Various intelligent conservative sources agree that he is good too. For instance, conservative columnist David Brooks.

The American Renaissance Is Already at Hand
Sept. 7, 2023

Two megatrends have shaped American life since the 1980s: the rise of China and the hollowing out of American industry.

China’s economic boom prompted a thousand predictions — that it will soon surpass us as an economic power, that the 21st century is going to be a Chinese century, that America is an aging, decadent nation destined for second place.

The hollowing out of American industry fed the sense that capitalism is betraying the middle class. America has a parasitic financial sector, but we don’t make things anymore. Manufacturing jobs got outsourced to China and Mexico, and wages stagnated.

These two trends contributed to the sense that America is in decline — to the angry, gloomy pall that has settled over political life.

But it’s beginning to look as if those two megatrends are reversing.

China looks not like a growing dynamic power but like a troubled, stagnating one. Growth rates are falling. The unemployment rate for those ages 16 to 24 in urban areas is at a demoralizing 21 percent. Private investment is sluggish. A forecast from Bloomberg Economics now projects that the size of the Chinese economy will not successfully surpass the size of the American economy — despite its vastly greater population.

The causes of China’s stagnation are myriad and deep: an overinvestment in real estate, the decline in foreign investment as the state become more menacing, the decline of exports, the demographic doom spiral. Since 2016, the number of births in China has fallen by nearly 50 percent.

But the core problems are endemic to the regime: Centralized authoritarian control is incompatible with a wide-open, innovative, free-flowing modern economy. Industrial policy may look good for a short time, but it ossifies. China now has a plethora of zombie corporations, which suck up subsidies without successfully competing in the marketplace. Open information flow is crucial to any nation; when the state suppresses information unflattering to the regime, then everything is bound to sink into mediocrity.

As the Chinese economy deflates, American industry is looking less hollow. America has had a net gain of 530,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2017. The manufacturing boom has been torrid of late. Since late 2021, investment in the construction of manufacturing facilities has more than doubled.

Much of that boom is happening in the Mountain West, the Upper Midwest and parts of the Southeast. Chips, electric vehicles, renewable energy sources and batteries are being manufactured in places like Michigan, Kentucky, Minnesota and Arizona.

Over the past few years, for example, scads of tech firms have decided to invest in manufacturing plants in formerly Rust Belt Ohio: Intel ($20 billion), Amazon ($7.8 billion), Google ($3.7 billion). According to a Hoover Institution study, Ohio in 2020 attracted almost 14 times as many new capital projects per capita as California.

In short, capital, construction and manufacturing are flowing back into many places that have taken their hits. Since 2011, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, wage growth has “accelerated more for high school graduates than for college graduates.”

What lessons are we to draw from these two ongoing turnarounds? The first is that there’s a lot of resilience and dynamism in America’s brand of broadly free market capitalism. As I’ve noted, in 1990 the European and American gross domestic products per capita were nearly neck and neck. Since then, America has surged ahead. American labor productivity increased by 67 percent between 1990 and 2022, compared with 55 percent in Europe and 51 percent in Japan.

In 2012 I heard a commencement speech by Dr. Atul Gawande that introduced me to the phrase “failure to rescue.” He reported on a study that found the best hospitals don’t necessarily prevent bad things from happening, but they’re really good at rescuing people when they have a complication to prevent failures from becoming catastrophes.

The American economy, especially in the Midwest, is kind of like that. Many of those places have experienced economic decline, but governments and people have shifted and adapted, and they are bouncing back.

The second lesson I draw is that Bidenomics is working — big time. President Biden promised to help America outcompete authoritarian China and to heal some of the economic divides at home. Both those goals are being achieved.

According to the Treasury Department, over 80 percent of the investment made through the Inflation Reduction Act is going to counties with college graduation rates lower than the national average. Nearly 90 percent of investments are being made in counties with below-average weekly wages.

I know many of you think Biden is too old, but I’d vote for a 100-year-old who could keep delivering results like that.

The third lesson I draw is that the right-wing populists are hopelessly outdated. Take, for example, the writer Sohrab Ahmari, who argues that “the state must also take a far more active role in coordinating economic activity for the good of the whole community.” But China’s industrial policy illustrates the classic downsides of excessive state interference. Even the vaunted German model, one of the great success stories of the 20th century, is showing its age. German manufacturing output and gross domestic product have been stagnant since 2018.

American politics is dysfunctional, and our social fabric is in tatters, but somehow our economy is among the strongest in the world. Our economic competitors stumble and fall; we stumble, and somehow bounce back.

===========

In other words, the people in red states and other MAGA types are the ones who are benefitting the most from Biden, but many of them are too stupid to recognize this.

Trump is bluster, but Biden is doing the job.

Popularity polls say one thing, but facts and objective analysis say the other which is why Biden is considered a good president while Trump is among the worst in history. For example:

Read: Historians rank Trump as worst president

Presidential historians in a new survey rank President Biden as the 14th best president in U. S. history — and put former President Trump last.

The big picture: The tally came from 154 presidential specialists who are current and recent members of the American Political Science Association. They were asked to give every president a score, from 0 to 100.

Zoom in: Abraham Lincoln topped the list with an average score of 95, while Biden scored an average of 62.66. That put him two spots above Ronald Reagan.

Representatives for Trump, who averaged just under 11 points, did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

BOTTOM LINE:

1. Trumpsters are deluded. THEY are the ones with Trump Derangement Syndrome.2. Biden is underappreciated. Because Biden is not good at defending himself from attacks by conservative media.

[abc3643]

Here's another example of a conservative columnist/Fox News pundit: Juan Williams.
thehill.com/.../

Vote Republican: Vote for Joe Biden
BY JUAN WILLIAMS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 02/12/24 9:30 AM ET

Michael Moore, the liberal filmmaker, once quipped that Bill Clinton was one of the best Republican presidents of his lifetime.

Fast forward, and that comic insight easily applies to President Biden.

In his first three years in office, Biden’s moderate, pragmatic style of governing is close to that of traditional Republicans — from presidents Eisenhower to Reagan and the Bushes.

Looking at Biden from the left side of the political divide, the Democrat in the White House is clearly a long way from today’s most celebrated progressive politicians — Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N. Y.).

Take a look at Biden’s record overseas, where he has fiercely asserted American might against Russian aggression. He is actually facing backlash from liberals for his steadfast support for the far-right Netanyahu government in Israel.

Protests against his unstinting support of Israel’s response to a terror attack — as an ever-rising number of Palestinians die — have come even from his own White House staff.

Washington Post columnist Max Boot recently called Biden “Israel’s best friend.”

Next, take a look at Biden’s domestic record, and ask yourself if the moderate tag fits.

First, U. S. oil production reached an all-time high last year under Biden. Second, he successfully backed big spending bills in Congress to prevent a post-COVID recession. His economic policies have produced job growth and generated investment.

Under Biden, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high last month.

(more)

[abc3643]

Inflation is beyond cooling — it has been cut in half. Interest rates are coming down, consumer confidence has jumped by 13 percent in the last month, continuing an upward trend.

The latest jobs report showed unemployment at a near 50-year low of 3.7 percent.

Biden’s success has come without anything close to the radical right, regressive tax cuts for the rich enacted under Trump.

Ever the moderate, as Biden negotiates with House Republicans on a $79 billion tax bill that will expand the child tax credit, he is allowing for the bill to bring back some corporate tax breaks favored by Republicans as the cost of doing business.

Once again, these are the kinds of economic policies and trade-offs we traditionally associate with Republican presidents.

Third, Biden agreed to sign a tough immigration bill backed by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and border patrol agents to increase security at the southern border.

It allowed for faster handling of asylum claims and empowered him to shut down the border in case of an unmanageable surge.

(more)

[abc3643]

Biden’s willingness to act on those conservative priorities alienated a lot of Democrats intent on dealing with “Dreamers,” children brought to the U. S. at a young age, and the 12 million immigrants already in the country with no legal status.

But even as he disappointed some in his party, Biden’s middle-of-the-road approach exposed Republicans — notably former President Trump — as more interested in blaming Biden for the border crisis than in fixing the tattered immigration system.

The GOP House majority had insisted on tying immigration reforms to aid for allies facing threats from dictators and terrorists. But when handed just the bill they loudly demanded, the House GOP balked.

All political signs indicate Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) opposed the bill because Trump and his followers in the House prefer to make immigration into an election-year issue than solve the problem.

“Republicans have to decide who do they serve: Donald Trump or the American people?” Biden said as the GOP defeated their own wish list on immigration.

“Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends,” Biden said.

It is a matter of record that, although President Trump talked about “building a wall” and “having Mexico pay for it,” he accomplished neither. And there was never a bipartisan piece of legislation.

(more)

[abc3643]

Biden’s focus on getting a deal for the best of the country on immigration has him sounding more like President Ronald Reagan, who did pass a bipartisan immigration bill.

Overseas, Biden again fits with traditional Republicans by consistently standing with American allies and democracies against radical Islamic terrorists like Hamas and expansionist regimes like Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

Starting in March 2022, Biden took a tough stance against Russian aggression in Ukraine that made even the most conservative hawks nod in approval. There are no boots on the ground, but there’s also no question as to U. S. military weapons and leadership of an international coalition against Putin’s invasion.

Biden’s moderate policies at home and overseas give me hope that Democrats and fair-minded Republicans can do business and move beyond Trump. With Biden’s record, it is easy to imagine a parade of Republican stalwarts lined up on stage on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, endorsing Biden.

Let’s start with President George W. Bush and his vice president, Dick Cheney.

How about a parade of Republicans for Biden, featuring Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Chris Christie, Asa Hutchison, David Jolly, Michael Steele, Cindy McCain and Christine Todd Wittman?

Just as the Reagan Democrats tipped the election for the Gipper in 1980, the Biden Republicans could do the same for Biden in 2024.

[strateguy632]

hahaha, new york times is conservative? laugh my fugn hynee off!

[abc3643]

@strateguy632 No, I didn't say the NYT is conservative, but they do have conservative columnists on their payroll.

These come to mind:
David Brooks (who I cited above)
Ross Douthat
David French
Bret Stephens
(Bret's wife, Pamela Paul is also an NYT columnist, but I don't know if she is a conservative.)

William Kristol was famously with the NYT, but he left and was replaced by Douthat as a conservative voice.

Overall, the NYT has about the same number of conservative and liberal columnists, so it's pretty balanced in that area. The bias stems mostly from, I guess I would word it "editorial choices". I will let Media Bias Fact Check speak:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/

"LEFT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appeals to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. ...

Overall, we rate the New York Times Left-Center biased based on wording and story selection that moderately favors the left. They are considered one of the most reliable sources for news information due to proper sourcing and well-respected journalists/editors. The failed fact checks were on Op-Eds and not straight news reporting."

[abc3643]

Keep in mind also that, because of what the NYT is, many conservative voices will write letters or guest essays and have them published in the NYT. Kellyanne Conway immediately springs to mind as a guest essayist in the NYT.

Here are her two most recent:

Conservative jurist, retired judge of the US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, J. Michael Luttig has written several times in recent years as well.
https://www.nytimes.com/by/j--michael-luttig

So, the NYT most definitely publishes conservative opinions too.

[Kingofkings1992]

@abc3643 wow. You are brainwashed on a different level than I have ever seen or witnessed. That’s actually pretty impressive.

[abc3643]

@Kingofkings1992

Do I have to block you?

You keep chiming in like a know-it-all teenager despite being 31. Yet, I was a functional adult for over 10 years while you were still swimming in your father's balls.

When you finish growing up and are fully embedded in the real world and have a working knowledge of human nature, then I will let you say shit like that to me.

I don't mind your having a different opinion than me, but if you're just going to spewing out KKKonservative dogma with the confidence of an idiot know-it-all teen, then you are not doing anyone a favor, least of all yourself, but instead are illustrating the old adage:
"It is better to keep your mouth shut and people suspect you are a fool than it is to open it and remove all their doubts that you are."

Don't be an idiot.
It's very unbecoming.

[Kingofkings1992]

Go ahead and block me. You can’t handle someone saying something you disagree with, that’s on you. you’re clearly a 61-year-old child, what you do is of no concern to me. @abc3643

[abc3643]

By the way, I had mentioned that conservatives often write in the New York Times. Well, today is another example. Former Vice President and Indiana Governor Mike Pence just wrote a piece that was published in today's (S 20 APR 2024) NYT.

www.nytimes.com/.../donald-trump-abortion.html

OPINION
GUEST ESSAY

Mike Pence: Donald Trump Has Betrayed the Pro-Life Movement
April 20, 2024, 7:00 a. m. ET

By Mike Pence

Mr. Pence was vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Serving as vice president in the most pro-life administration in American history was one of the greatest honors of my life. Of all our accomplishments, I am perhaps most proud that the Supreme Court justices we confirmed voted to send Roe v. Wade to the ash heap of history, ending a travesty of jurisprudence that led to the death of more than 63 million unborn Americans.

Since Roe was overturned, I have been inspired by the efforts of pro-life leaders in states across the country, including Indiana, to advance strong protections for the unborn and vulnerable women.

But while nearly half of our states have enacted strong pro-life laws, some Democrats continue to support taxpayer-funded abortions up to the moment of birth in the rest of the country.

Which is why I believe the time has come to adopt a minimum national standard restricting abortion after 15 weeks in order to end late-term abortions nationwide.

The majority of Americans favor some form of restriction on abortions, and passing legislation prohibiting late-term abortions would largely reflect that view. Democrats in Washington have already attempted to legalize abortion up to the moment of birth, and they failed. But they will try again, with similar extremism, if abortion restrictions are not put in place at the federal level.
(more)

[abc3643]

Contrary to Democrats’ claims, prohibiting abortions after 15 weeks is entirely reasonable.

While Democrats often hold up Europe as a model for America to emulate, the vast majority of European countries have national limits on elective abortion after 15 weeks. Germany and Belgium have a gestational limit of up to 14 weeks. A majority of European countries are even more restrictive, with Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Austria, Italy and Ireland banning abortion on demand after 12 weeks.

When it comes to abortion policy, America today appears closer to communist China and North Korea than to the nations of Europe. By prohibiting late-term abortions after 15 weeks, America can move away from the radical fringe and squarely back into the mainstream of Western thought and jurisprudence.

That’s why it was so disheartening for me to see former President Trump’s recent retreat from the pro-life cause. Like so many other advocates for life, I was deeply disappointed when Mr. Trump stated that he considered abortion to be a state-only issue and would not sign a bill prohibiting late-term abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, even if it came to his desk.

I know firsthand just how committed he was to the pro-life movement during our time in office. Who can forget the way candidate Donald Trump denounced late-term abortion during a debate with Hillary Clinton in 2016, highlighting how she and other Democrats would allow doctors to “rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby.”

In 2018, ahead of a Senate vote on a 20-week national ban that was passed earlier by the House, the president publicly stated that he “strongly supported” efforts to end late-term abortions nationwide with exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.

(more)

[abc3643]

Now, not only is Mr. Trump retreating from that position; he is leading other Republicans astray. One recent example is an Arizona Republican running for the U. S. Senate, who followed Trump’s lead and pledged to oppose a federal ban on late-term abortions. When our leaders aren’t firmly committed to life, others will waver too. Courage inspires imitation. So does weakness.

While some worry about the political ramifications of adopting a 15-week minimum national standard, history has proved that when Republicans stand for life without apology and contrast our common-sense positions with the extremism of the pro-abortion left, voters reward us with victories at the ballot box. In fact, voters overwhelmingly re-elected Governors Mike DeWine of Ohio, Greg Abbott of Texas, and Brian Kemp of Georgia, after they signed bills prohibiting abortion after six weeks.

But what should concern us far more than the politics of abortion is the immorality of ending an unborn human life. At 15 weeks of development, a baby’s face is well-formed and her eyes are sensitive to light. She can suck her thumb and make a fist. She is beginning to move and stretch. And she is created in the image of God, the same as you or me.

Now is not the time to surrender any ground in the fight for the right to life. While the former president has sounded the retreat on life at the national level, I pray that he will rediscover the passion for life that defined our four years in office and rejoin the fight to end late-term abortions in America once and for all. The character of our nation and the lives of generations not yet born demand nothing less.

Your dream President has murdered more people in 3years. than were killed in Korea and Viet Nam combined with illegal drugs. Plus, hundreds more every day. He caused more hurt to the people of this country than just about any other president. Could you tell us Trumptards how much more is your paycheck is buying you today than it did 3 years ago. because all the B/S you spouted does not hold a candle to what Trump did during term. I must say you get a lot of milage out of the B/S you use from THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE AMERICA.

[lightbulb27]

By the system that creates and edits the narrative, yes, he will be recorded well and his photo hung on the walls of schools like Obama. In the minds and hearts of many working people whom are financially being wiped otu out or physically destroyed, no.

I think what he did well was give well considered "measured" answers in a mumbling scripted delivery. He considered his options carefully before communicating the power of the USA... blowing our currency to bits and championing the slaughter of millions in endless wars. Never before have we invested so much, gotten so little. Maybe he will be the champion of reshoring some industry like semi conductors.

If he gets a few more years to solidify our fate, one might expect a major attack on a US city, a currency shock as the debt snowballs and inflation continues it's roar, bailouts of major cities and pensions, and major collision with China in the south seas to name a few of the exciting things to record in his legacy. Odds are best since Cuban missile crisis we will see the next "nuclear" event face humanity

It's sure to be interesting times. One thing is for sure, the wall at the border won't be built, but the wall around the White House will be well guarded.

[lightbulb27]

Read a certain way, this summarizes the mess he's lead us into... it's not about funding ukraine, but all the danging major messes.

[jennifer_bloom]

He is popular for being the main contender to Trump, not for being objectively powerful and smart. You don't need a smart president cause you can hire ten thousand Harvard graduates to manage the country for you. What you need is a moral president that won't purposely sabotage your country due to sadism or have mental health issues.

[Daniela1982]

He will be remembered for his best performance as a classless clown.

[MrOracle]

Sleepy Joe isn't actually making any of the decisions himself - he's a mere sock-puppet for his cabinet, who are all Obama appointees. They are the ones actually "in charge" - and they're aggressively trying to destroy the country. Just the illegal immigration alone is already devastating to the US, not to mention the cost to taxpayers.

We've got multiple wars, an empty Strategic Oil Reserve, super high inflation that is destroying the value of everyone's money, increased crime, increased violence, Soros-funded district attorneys who refuse to prosecute criminals (which leads to crime escalating in both frequency and in levels of violence, because there are essentially no consequences), and many other huge issues that were directly created by the Biden admin.

Biden will be remembered as the Great Destroyer.

[ApplePie409]

Beyond brilliant.

[handsomelad70]

He's about a six out of ten. He's kept the economy strong, but has been weak on tackling inflation, plus he's seemed to allow Israel too much leeway in its then-justifiable retaliation after the Oct.7,2023 Hamas terrorist attacks which has entered the "war crimes" zone.

[V_Injector]

He won't be. Just being "not the other guy" doesn't make you good. ... and you give it 20 years where nobody really remembers why they were ramped up to vote against Trump, he's just going to look worse.

Biden should've kept the things Trump was doing right instead of just flipping the table on everything and fucking everything up in the process. He could've been an alright president if there was any effort in reality rather than this far left-wing ideology. We need moderate dems to come back and kick these progressives to the curb. Meanwhile, the rest of us are voting for the New York Democrat who changed to Republican... Trump.

The Overton window is a thing.

[loveslongnails]

I think he'll be middle of the pack in the end. He's done a number of very good things, but ignored a lot of opportunities to do better, and failed to call out some really bad shit. On the other hand, he's the first President since Lincoln to be involved in an election that pits the small remnants of whatever little Democracy we have left against the promise of a fascist, dystopian, authoritarian government led by a madman being propped up by the cowards within its party.

It's an unenviable position to be in, but he waited too long to make changes to rectify things like the SCOTUS. Now he has to worry about winning the election.

[Asker]

lol what really bad shit?

[loveslongnails]

What really bad shit? He hasn't said a word about Clarence Thomas or Alito, when clearly they have been bought and disgraced their positions. He also didn't expand the SCOTUS to counter their bullshit. He has failed to call out Israeli genocide and order our UN rep to vote for a cease fire, at the very least. He has failed to have the Feds intervene in cases where states are overstepping their bounds in limiting health care. That's some really bad shit.

[Asker]

what did they do?

[loveslongnails]

Look it up and learn something, friend.

[ProbablyClueless]

He definitely won't be remembered well. The problem for Biden is that the person we're comparing him against has turned out to be impressively competent to a degree that it highlighted the incompetent shitshow that is American institutions.

Trump did everything he did while fighting the Media AND a bureaucracy that was actively sabotaging him. HE STILL GOT ALL THAT DONE. Biden doesn't have anywhere near the kind of resistance Trump did, and he's making a total hash of things.

A lot of liberals have tried really hard to deny it, but facts are facts; Trump is a friend of the average American. Biden isn't.

[Danzigdawson]

What a load of shit.

[ProbablyClueless]

@Danzigdawson You misspelled "truth."

[Danzigdawson]

So sorry, English is not my first language. How should I have spelled it, then?
"Lies"? "Bullshit"? "Deceit"? "Falsity"? "Incoherent rambling"? "Balderdash"? "Drivel"? "Hogwash"? "Nonsense"? "Meth-induced psychotic beliefs"?

[ProbablyClueless]

@Danzigdawson Oh, no worries. I'm always happy to help someone in need. The correct spelling (because English IS my first language) is actually "T," as in Trump. "R," as in reality. "U," as in upright. "T," as in Trump. And "H," as in honorable. TRUTH.

I know it's hard to find time for English lessons right now, what with all the economic hardship and needless wars, but I believe in you! You can't let life get in the way of skill development.

[Danzigdawson]

Thanks a lot, there's hope! Someday, even you might come to see what a piece of dog shit trump actually is... and then grow back a few brain cells to be able learn a second language, thereby elevating yourself just a little bit above hundreds of millions of your tragically under-educated and self-important fellow trumpists.

In french, truth is 'vérité', but trump's "truth" is known as "tromperie" or, "mensonge".

- Vérité:

"V" as in 'Va chier mon criss', "E" as in 'enculé', "R" as in "raclure de toilette chimique', "I" as in 'insignifiant', "T" as in 'trou de cul' and another "E", as in 'Éjaculateur précoce'.

-Tromperie:

"T" as in 'Tas de marde', "R" as in 'Ramoneur de colons cons-serviteurs', "O" as in 'Obéissance aveugle', "M" as in 'Médiocrité incarnée', "P" as in 'Pédéraste', "E" as in 'emmerdeur', another "R" as in 'Risée du monde entier', "I" as in 'Imbécile heureux' and another "E" as in 'Erreur de la nature".

-Mensonge:

"M" as in 'mangeur de marde', "E" as in 'Épais', "N" as in 'Nationaliste blanc, "S" as in 'Suçeur de graine orangée', "O" as in 'Oh! Le con'., another "N" as in 'Nabot', "G" as in "Gros cave américain" and "E" as in 'Étron émasculé'.

[ProbablyClueless]

@Danzigdawson 😂 Well you do know how to talk shit, at least. I'll give you that.

[exitseven]

No, he will be remembered as the worst president in US history. He has not done one single thing that made America better. He has ruined the lives of millions of Americans with his failed policies. Theer are thousands of small businesses that have disappeared because of the Covid lockdown he forced on the country. It is true that everything he touched turned to human excrement.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven To be fair, there have been worse presidents. James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson (the first to be impeached) normally top the lists of worst presidents.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom These guys did not cause a tiny percentage of the damage that Biden caused. Hitler did not cause as much damage as Biden did.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven I'm not defending Biden, just saying that proving "worst" is not an easy thing to do, it's usually very subjective.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom Neither Buchanan nor Johnson caused the country to bear a half trillion waste of taxpayer money and directly caused hundreds of deaths

[AngryCarl]

@exitseven Didn't the Covid lockdown happen when Trump was in office? Like 2020?

[exitseven]

@AngryCarl It was only supposed to last 2 weeks to flatten the curve. The democrats used it as the way to steal the election, changing election laws and pushing for the expansion of mail in ballots.

[goaded]

@AngryCarl Yes, the Covid lockdown happened when Trump was in office.

Unemployment hasn't been this low for so long since the 1960s. Infrastructure is being maintained. Inflation is low.

[exitseven]

@goaded the long term unemployed are notvcounted once their benefits have run out. Part time employees are not counted either. People that have two jobs are counted twice. Oyhrt than that unemployment rate looks good.

[goaded]

How would people with two jobs be counted in the unemployment numbers at all?

Also, you're wrong:
"6. Is the count of unemployed people limited to just those receiving unemployment insurance benefits?

No. The estimate of unemployment is based on a monthly sample survey of households.
All people who are without jobs and are actively seeking and available to work are included among the unemployed. (People on temporary layoff are included even if they do not actively seek work.) There is no requirement or question relating to unemployment insurance benefits in the monthly survey."

I think these are the latest jobs numbers: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

@goaded when biden tells people how many jobs he created he counts a person that has to work two jobs because of his crappy policies , he counts them twice/

[goaded]

Maybe, but the percentage of the workforce working more than one job was slightly higher (5.3% compared to 5.2% today) at the end of 2019. Who was president then? (It's been about 5% since 2000, and that was down from 6% in the 1990's.)

You accept that "All people who are without jobs and are actively seeking and available to work are included among the unemployed."?

[exitseven]

@goaded No, when your unemployment benefits run out and you still cannot find a job you are not counted as unemployed anymore. I think if you are over 50 you are counted as retired.

[goaded]

I literally quoted and linked the government website that says: "All people who are without jobs and are actively seeking and available to work are included among the unemployed." FAQ #6 https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.faq.htm

[goaded]

""6. Is the count of unemployed people limited to just those receiving unemployment insurance benefits?

No."

[purplepoppy]

He feels more like a caretaker president than a real one. Some one there to calm things down after the chaos of Trump and help America get back the respect it lost.

The question is will Biden remember he was president?

[exitseven]

Biden was a stooge. He was easily distracted, cannot understand complex situations, has a hart time remembering people and cannot remember the last time he told the truth. He is not a caretaker, he needs a caretaker

[Anonymous]

Few president in American history have failed as badly as Joe Biden. He has created disasters in almost every area of his direct control from border policy, to monitory policy, to forign policy.

A lot of his choices are soo bad and disadvantageous to our country particular in forign policy you have to wonder if he was paid to take such a position.

[Danzigdawson]

Kremlin troll.

[Opinion Owner]

@Danzigdawson Its hard not to be impressed with the unfiromity of democratic talking points. When your leaders make a claim no matter how absurd you all fall in line.

No Russia doesn't have enough money to pay me, nor would they given how many anti-Russian things I regularly say.

[Danzigdawson]

In your particular case, I don't even care enough to insult you properly and/or try to prove that I know what I'm talking about. It's not like 4an€€£#&uoc. e. ejejjs... whatever.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

wtf, what kind of question is this?

[normalice]

By the numbers he is already in the top ten presidents. I guess it depends on if the far right manages to take over the world and rewrite the history books.

[andreasderjuengere]

I perceive him as a kind of ''Ford-type'' - a short time and inevitable replacement to cover up for the previous fuck-up.

Unfortunately, it appears that the next fuck-up is just about to happen... again :D

[jentastic]

Biden ran on bring this country together, instead he embraced the worse of the far left. This is why we see so much racism towards white people, Asians and antisemitism. Biden is willing to throw certain groups under the bus just for votes. I would argue he's the worst President because of that. That's a special kind of evil.

[AviatorTom]

Maybe some people will remember him. I wonder if Joe will remember anything about his Presidency. Sad.

[avery58]

No. Although his dementia has been low-key hilarious and good for memes, he's not fit for presidency at all.

[OfMiceandMen]

I don't know, I don't recall hearing much about him during this presidency so nothing stands-out to make him memorable.

[Still-alive]

He'll be remembered as genocide joe for the most part. no the thing this era will likely be remembered most is how we almost surrendered our democracy to a wannabe dictator in Trump. Biden will be a minor footnote

[DextroShade]

He will remembered as the piece of shit who let the country get invaded, fought for mutilating children, and jailing his political opponents.

[bobby_bush_eater]

No. In 100 years he won't really be remembered but I think he'll be viewed like a Woodrow Wilson. More involved people will hate him but the majority won't even know who he is

[AngryCarl]

It's too soon to tell. Most Presidents are remembered for what happened while they were President, not their ability to read an autocue. If he wins a second term he might be remembered as the President who saved American democracy.

[sage2021]

Why would you even need to ask this question? Where have you been the last 3-1/2 years?

[strateguy632]

of course! because liberal media white washes bad drmocrats.

[onedarkcloud]

Because he is hell bent on the destruction of AMERICA!

[TommyMountainFigure]

I'm still waiting for him to do something worth remembering!

[llorando]

As an ex democrat I can honestly say no. I also have some Democrat family members who feel he's doing a shitty job and won't be voting for him this time around.

[lorenzomichael]

He’s a fucking jackass. What has he done? Seriously what?

[strateguy632]

he let in undocumented and favored them over other immigrants and citizens

[Anonymous]

History will judge him harshly for his unconditional support of a right-wing Apartheid genocidal war-mongering ethno-state.

[Dargil]

YES! GOOD FOR NOTHIN'!

[Anonymous]

He's forgettable. He was put in to unseat someone who was extremely unhealthy for the country, and ended up being.. a dud.

[findacure4wokeness]

He will be know as a great betrayer second only to Judas Iscariot.

[Rangers]

By people with above squirrel level IQ, no, with people below that IQ, yes

[legalboxers]

[Starrrboy]

Probably as the most incompetent US president in modern times lol..

[Anonymous]

He will be remembered as one of the worst in history.. His reign of terror created more division than any other president in history.

[Jerre]

He will be remembered as a “do nothing” President

[bobby_bush_eater]

I disagree. Grover Cleveland is remembered as a do nothing president because he vetoed all the bs from Congress without making anything of his own. The president really isn't supposed to do that much.

Biden has signed executive orders like crazy and has literally fought against supreme Court rulings. He has fought against Texas at it's border. He won't be remembered very well in the long run but anyone who cares about history will remember him as shitty

[jentastic]

he's going to be remembered as the person who supported and allowed antisemitism to grow again to court Hamas voters and the far left.

[Anonymous]

He will be remembered by sane conservative people as one of the worst Whitehouse occupants in history, for too many reasons to list

[Kingofkings1992]

I can’t believe some people actually voted yes to this. Morons

[Anonymous]

Only by Joe himself if he remembers anything at all

[Anonymous]

He shouldn't be; but Woodrow Wilson has been popular despite being a terrible human.

[ApplePie409]

He won't remember it.

[coachTanthony]

Ask New Yorkers lol

[FunkyMonkee]

HELL NO!! THE WORST WE'VE EVER HAD!!

[laly520]

that if he will be remembered

[DrPepper12]

He will be in the top 1/3 guaranteed

[goebenbreslau]

he will be remembered as a loser.

[Enginn]

He could be worse but he could be better.

[Anonymous]

There has been no good president

[itsclearlynicholas]

I voted yes 😁

[Simslover92]

But you're not even from this country lol

[itsclearlynicholas]

I didn't see no disclaimers or bio mentioning "Americans answer only" ahahahaha LOL 😆 cya night 🌃🌉🌃

[Snakeyes7]

I hope not.
