    Do you mean stuff like this?
    • Job growth hit records not seen since the 1960s, nearly triple the pace seen before the pandemic.
    • We're producing more oil than any country in history. You wanted drill, baby, drill? You got it.
    • Bridges that are dangerously crumbling are being reinforced or rebuilt.
    • Insulin has been capped at $35 per month, maximum.
    • Medicare can now negotiate drug prices.
    • The price of gas is down ... I can fill my 16 gallon tank for less than $60 now.
    • Inflation (that Biden did not create) is slowing.
    • Manufacturing is coming back home, in large part due to the Biden administration's new requirements that force industries to make their products in the United States.
    • The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, is the largest single investment in America’s infrastructure in more than a half-century. It allows for the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars to upgrade, modernize, and improve America’s infrastructure. Bridges that are dangerously crumbling are being reinforced or rebuilt.
    • Biden signed the the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act, which provides federal support to facilitate research of marijuana for possible medical use.
    Those are just the highlights. Google "Biden administration accomplishments" to see much more.

    Trump didn't do squat to help the American people. He simply doesn't give a damn about any of us.

    Folks get ready to approve Trump doing what you would be outraged if Biden did. If you're mad about what Biden is doing now and you want Trump to do the same, maybe your "madness" is just partisanship in disguise.

    You can Google the same exact thing with Trump's name and take your head out of the sand and destroy your bias but you are unlikely to do so.

    I'm sure that you would make a completely impartial juror at any of the Court matters concerning him.... Sarcasm alert

    So are you saying that Biden is doing things that are not exactly legal and above board?

    Are you saying that you would have no problem with Trump doing the same exact things as this administration?

    I did that.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/tru...omplishment-reshaping-the-federal-judiciary-1

    • Appointing as many Federalist Society approved justices, putting as many right wing activist judges in powerful positions. I don't see that as a benefit, not even to conservatives.
    • The Space Force. I'll give you that one. I live in Colorado Springs, not far from Shriever AFB where the Space Force is centered. I once worked with a few of those folks, and they like it.
    • A huge tax break for the rich, lessening the revenue in the federal coffers significantly. We all suffer for that, while the top .001% laugh at us and count the billions he saved them. "... the law has achieved none of the ambitious goals that Republicans put forward ..."
    • The First Step Act ... I'll spot you that one, too, but it's only a benefit to criminals.
    • Killing Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a good thing, but that fight began before Trump took office. He merely finished the job, then falsely took credit for defeating ISIS.
    His failures far outweigh his few successes, which do not in any way measure up to the good that Biden and company have done to positively affect our day to day lives.

    Absolutely. No one is above the law.

    Proving criminality won't be hard.

    Since you presumably think this is a highly impressive list of accomplishments, why do YOU suppose that his approval rating is so incredibly low?

    Translation: I'm worried Trump might do to Democrats what Democrats have been doing to him for 8 years.

    Because people are either unaware, or they just aren't feeling the overall rise in economic growth. Aside from the price of gas and the cap on insulin, I'm not it feeling much myself, but looking at the big picture, those who are still wage earners are doing better. People are buying new cars and other big ticket items, like boats or other recreational equipment.

    Democrats need to get their asses into high gear and tout this stuff. There's a lot for them to brag about and run on.

    Personally, I trust opinion polling of the economy far more than I would trust carefully curated lists from the DNC aimed at getting Biden re-elected.

    Measured opinion as a whole doesnt have a dog in the fight. The DNC does. If people dont like their economic circumstances, their opinion of the economy is poor. If they like their circumstances, their opinion is high. It is darn near impossible to argue that the public is wrong on such a fundamental issue because they are reflecting their reality, but it is REALLY easy to argue that carefully curated data such as you presented can easily be misleading.

    Biden shutdown the LNG facility in Louisiana.

    The bridges being worked on now, were funded before Biden took office and that money was allocated by Congress.

    Gas prices and increased oil production are because of Trump, not Biden.

    Biden caused inflation, now his fix makes it impossible to build/but a home.

    Now that the standards have been lowered, they're never going back up again. So yeah, Trump should match the Biden administration's going after the political opposition. And since the left thinks that the Biden is acting within the law, they could scarcely object to a future Trump administration also acting within the law.

    The only caveat to that is that I wouldn't want the Trump administration to go after the first amendment the way the Biden administration has. We should be better.

    I voted No, but know that Dems will get the Trump-treatment eventually. As much as they deserve it, its not good for the country.

    ""Do you support him using his power to take revenge on his opponents?"" You damn right I do...

    It would be Trump's oath and duty to see illegal activity is punished...

    The precedent by the Democrats was set way before Trump ever took office...
    I would like to see Obama and Biden both in jail for
    treason.
    Funny how Durham could find no crime was committed when treason is right in front of us..
    All documented... and undeniable.... The Obama Whitehouse was in on it... to attack Trump using a weaponized government.
    Strange how our Republican special prosecutor Mueller missed this.... maybe he did not do a very good job of investigation...
    ""Former CIA Director John Brennan briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to tie the Trump campaign to Russia as a means of distracting the public from her private email server scandal before the 2016 election, according to newly declassified documents.""

    No. That would be totally PUTINESQE . ( probably the reason Trump has remained quiet about the latest Putin murder of an opponent).

    If he spends his time being Putin like , how can he get any work done?? Maybe that goes right to the MOTIVE for his wanting to be POTUS.

    That might be due to the fact that Biden works hard, does not draw attention to himself or his efforts at every opportunity, or boast about the most insignifigant thing he has done. He is not a drama queen. He is a prime example of a hard worker. Someone who genuinely cares for the people and the country. He does NOT put HIMSELF fist and foremost.

    Because he is understated.... it is easy for someone like trumpeting Donald to keep control of the news cycle with his petty acts.

    Maybe people are just too superficial to appreciate the depth of experience and strong work ethic that Biden has. They want sensationalism. Sensationalism can affect the polls just becasue of the persistent noise.

    If you have no rebuttal just be a man and admit it... Biden cares more about other countries than OUR people or OUR country. Biden is a compromised man.

    Prove Trump only cares for himself...

    Don't have to. He proves it HIMSELF each time he opens his mouth. His narcissism is clear enough to even the most unenlightened to see.
