Thanks, Biden!!!

This article is a it dated now, but the facts haven't changed much:

"Kevin McCarthy is leading the least productive House in modern history, according to an analysis of legislative data shared exclusively with Insider.
And it's not simply because the US is in a period of divided government.

"The only thing that has changed is that MAGA Republicans now run the House of Representatives," Navin Nayak, the president of the liberal Center for American Progress (CAP) Action Fund, told Insider on Tuesday. "They will not make any attempt to actually find common ground, or find common-sense solutions to problems."

According to CAP Action's analysis, just 14 pieces of legislation — two of which were resolutions — have been signed into law by President Joe Biden since McCarthy became speaker of the House.

While periods of divided government typically do lead to increased gridlock on Capitol Hill, that's not a sufficient explanation for the lack of productivity.
According to the analysis, the average number of bills to pass the House during periods of divided government by September 19 is 299. McCarthy's House, by contrast, had passed just 224 by that point."

Problem is, FAUX Snooze and related biased media are slanting it as being Joe's fault.

You vote FOR Joe, because Joe has done good things and would have done more if not for an obstructionist House.

What good things?

Goes to the grocery store...looks at the receipt...looks at the weekly pay stub...compares both from 2 years ago...sees less leftover. This is the reality of 95% of Americans.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^exactly ^^^^^^ the feds will manipulate the "numbers" to suit there agenda. The actual "tell" is in what remains of your money at the end of the month..... never believe what the feds say, they will lie when the truth would serve them better....

"Amidst frustration and disappointment, the 118th Congress, consisting of Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate, has been labeled as the least productive Congress since the 1930s. Only 21 bills have passed into law by mid-November, a pace that mirrors the sluggishness of the Congress during the Great Depression. "

"Out of the 21 laws passed by Congress thus far, one aimed to keep the government functioning and is set to expire soon. Two laws were enacted to name local Veterans Affairs clinics after individuals, one compelled the Treasury Department to mint a commemorative coin for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps, and another annulled a local law passed by the Washington city council. "

(That site may be a bit biased in their commentary which I left out, but the facts don't change)



It's essential to vote (D) across the board to get back to a productive Government FOR the People.

I asked you, what good things has Biden done? You posted the statement, so naturally you should be able to tell us;

What good things has Biden done?

Or are you going to continue to ignore the question?

Government does not change as a result of posters whining on a porn website, no matter how many times you say, "I told you so. I was right all along." That's just an emerging new mental illness where people confuse their personal virtual life with how to make changes in real life.

Government changes when people spend more time engaged in real-life activism and less time being a smug on-line poster throwing tantrums because government is not perfect.

Government changes anywhere people choose it to. Anywhere a voice is spoken. Anywhere a voice stands up. Is Lit not a subset of America as a whole?

So here is Coati...saying nothing posted here matters. So why are you here posting Coati? On a political board? Because according to you...your time making changes would be better off elsewhere than here.

I am of the view...that my fellow Democrats that post here care. And if they care...they would like to know what people are thinking. But obviously...that may be a flawed assumption. Maybe...they care about reality as much as the magats here?

My activism involves real-life politics at various levels and branches of government. Making anonymous pontifications on Lit is not an effective form of activism

Real life requires you to use your actual name, take risks, stick your neck out, recognize that no one is perfect, etc.

I listen to people on Lit but It's fairly easy to distinguish between whiners and doers.

The interesting assumption is that MAGA doesn't care.

Conservatives do care about all the things that the Left says they care about. We care about the environment. We care about quality of life. We care about liberty and freedom. We care about the little things too, getting enough to eat, a place to live, good schools, fair treatment for everyone. We care, just like you say you care.

The difference is that we don't elevate those things over the needs of everyone. We don't separate classes of people in order to elevate one class above the rest. We don't destroy all the other things we care about in order to make ourselves feel good that we "helped" someone. Instead we try to balance all the good so that everyone has something and none have nothing.

The reality is that it doesn't always work out. There are forces out there that work to keep things out of balance because they profit from it. Those in that game play the race card, the sex card, the gender card.

And then claim that when we oppose their elevation of one class over all the rest that we're the fascists trying to oppress everyone.

For the most part we're not like that. Just like for the most part you're not that type either. Those who push that narrative are the ones who are in it for themselves at the expense of you and me.

Those are the true ingredients of the red pill.

Oh, you mean like someone using their real name so you can dox them?

 

[coati]

What good things has Biden done?

He reestablished a model for behaving like an adult in the White House. He reestablished ties with allies who pursue representative forms of government. He models civility and compassion.

Those are important accomplishments at this point in American history.

Behaving like an adult? By insisting on having TWO dogs which bite everyone? By calling a reporter a "stupid son of a bitch"? By LYING about his past and personal history?

The ties you claim he reestablished were still there. Our allies were our allies before and after Trump. Yet, notably, one of our staunchest allies in the middle east is Israel. A nation which Biden gave the cold shoulder to while cozying up to not one but TWO of our enemies; China and Iran.

Civility? The guy who screamed "dog faced pony soldier" at a worker during one of his campaign stops?

Compassion? Do you mean the compassion he showed to the granddaughter who didn't get a Christmas stocking?


Those "accomplishments" aren't much of an accomplishment.

 

[Bray123]

Like Trump repeatedly doxxing the clerk of the court so that they get death threats from his cult?

Really?

Like "Libs of TikTok" is a "real name"?

You, like Dibble, continue to confuse real life with virtual life.

Thanks for explaining in detail the extraordinarily compassionate and caring nature of the MAGAts. They are truly blessed to have such an articulate and learned attorney to defend their noble intentions and actions... on the porn board.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I will not be voting for either as it stands. I...unlike most here...am not willing to compromise on my morality. If the Democrats want to win...they need the vote of people like me in 4 swing states. And earning our vote has a price. Empty words...or threats of a Trump presidency is not enough. Vote for us because we ain't them is not enough.

What Democrats refuse to accept...we...people like me...win no matter who is elected. It is people like you that will lose. So...the choice is yours. And the Democratic Party. Choice...is a good thing

When someone is threatening to sink the ship you're currently on any decision that doesn't involve stopping him before you so much as consider anything moral on any level is no different than drowning those people yourself. There is NO difference at all.

Joe Biden to announce new actions to strengthen supply chain
Nov. 27 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden will announce more than 30 new policy initiatives on Monday to strengthen the U.S. supply chain while aiming to lower costs for inflation-weary consumers, the White House said.

 

[coati]

And thanks, Biden, for once again heading off the Deplorable war on Christmas.

It's good to have a President who understands that Mary, Joseph, and their baby were not fascinated with greed and personal weapons.

I'd rather a president doesn't even acknowledge fictional characters.

This is an opinion piece that conflates Biden's policies with the outcomes of his predecessor's policies.

Dribble once again whines about things being all fucked up without providing any sense of proportion for the cause of that situation. He's like the adolescent Holden Caulfield in the novel Catcher in the Rye.
