The predominantly ludicrous lawmaker from Georgia did Biden a solid this weekend, telling Republicans the Democratic president is fiendishly attempting to make people’s lives better.
I wish he was FDR
If only FDRs second bill of rights was passed… https://www.ushistory.org/documents/economic_bill_of_rights.htm
Travesty that wasn’t taught in schools. Talk about based, it’s everything we’re fighting for now
People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
Truer words…
Marianne Williamson is running (Democrat primary) with an economic bill of rights as the main thing in her platform.
She’s a grifter. The democrat version of trump, no thanks.
Can you please elaborate on that? I’m curious.
And she’s got my vote! 👍
He’s not bad though all things considered. I don’t know if we could do much better in Ukraine than how Biden has responded. His global policy approach is pretty impressive. He’s had a few misses in domestic policy but overall I’d say he is doing quite well.
I like him, but I’m old. I want more Dark Brandon. When he gets a second term, I think he’s gonna be more open and do something transformative. Maybe, I’m just being optimistic
Nah, I think you’re right. I think he’s going to do some sick flips on his bike.
You could be damned sure FDR wouldn’t have soft-pedaled any part of a pandemic response.
Yeah, he wouldn’t have stood for that
Me too
Best President ever!
Let’s not overdo it.
not me, I like my legs to be functional
Wholly cow, I just realized if they put him in a wheelchair, he’d win the next election. No one would vote against a guy in a wheelchair, right?
I don’t know about that. I voted against my state’s governor last time.
Cawthorn never got a second term either.
Keep fighting against that b@st@rd. How hot is it there? You had high wet bulb temperatures last week. Stay safe. On a side note, those wet bulb temps weren’t supposed to happen for years, and they already happened. Scary 😧
Push his sorry ass out on the sidewalk and tell him him he can’t have water all day.
I’m sure the same party that repealed the right to abortion and is fighting for assault rifles in schools will campaign against a guy in a wheelchair.
Not if it had flag hubcaps with a mounted .50 cal BMG and LED ‘s . And it should play “Living in America” by James Brown as he rolls. Nah, they’d still vote against him, but they WOULD hesitate.
And Trump would call him “Wheels” Biden.
“Look at him, senile, rolling around in that chair all hrrrrrrr.”
The Republicans are such good hype men for Joe Biden, he might as well pay them.
Anyone who thinks being compared to the cripple in chief fdr is a good thing was already unquestioningly voting democrat anyway.
He could use their help, because his list of great accomplishments is not particularly impressive at the moment
Biden wishes he was FDR.
But I’ll give him a cookie for trying to cancel student debt, and then refusing to give up when SCOTUS decided to fuck us over.
fuck us over
You fucked yourself over by not showing up at the polls 6 years ago at the numbers needed to keep Trump out of office.
Voting (and not voting) has consequences. You fucked around, then you found out.
(to be clear, I am using the generic “you” here, not trying to beat up on OP)
Seems a lot like he gave up. What we got instead can’t be called half measures. Hell, they can’t even be called quarter measures.
Oh, you made it so for 6 months, non-payments don’t hit your credit? What happens after those 6 months? And interest continues to accrue during that time so you’ll find yourself more underwater than before.
Oh, you reduced the percent of income that is to be spent on paying off the debt? Did you adjust the interest rates too? No? So you’re extending people’s length of debt. Cool.
This isn’t even tossing a bandaid at the problem. It’s handing someone a self-help book while they’re on the ground bleeding out.
I wouldn’t call pursuing another path to forgive $10K giving up, I mean it’s literally the opposite of giving up.
Also its 12 months, not 6 months
And you are ignoring the benefits of the SAVE Plan https://www.npr.org/2023/07/14/1187545921/student-loan-forgiveness-save-repayment
https://www2.ed.gov/policy/highered/reg/hearulemaking/2021/idrfactsheetfinal.pdf
Biden is doing a ton considering he has had 0 help from Congress who has power of the purse. If you want interest rates adjusted you gotta go through Congress.
The dude you replied to isn’t here to debate or exchange ideas. He’s here to make sure you don’t believe in the process and don’t turn out to vote. It’s the same strategy the right used in the run up to the 2016 and 2020 election. Vote out every scumsucking republican you have especially in the statehouse where the real power lies. Get everyone you know to get registered and get them to the voting booth.
I agree that’s a high possibility, either way though I like to respond to posts like that for other potential readers. If OP wants to admit they are wrong, great, but it’s important we counter these kinds of posts with facts so others understand the truth as I agree disinformation is a powerful tool so it needs to be cut off at the knees.
Honestly, at this point, I don’t think it matters what they say; as long as they say it with a sneer, and pepper in words like “socialist,” their base will foam at the mouth.
If the Left had a clue about marketing, they would be producing some patriotic video showing the successes of FDR and LBJ and then tying that imagery to Biden. Americans winning against Nazis, New Deal, waving American flags, etc. Have the whole video being narrated by MTG’s own words. Using the enemy’s own attacks against them.
She’s only spouting self-goals to ensure everyone’s attention is on her all the time. The irate reaction from Dems when she goes all racist+fascist grows her Republican base.
If only! Biden is maybe 5% of a Johnson at best.
…and there’s no way he compares at all to Roosevelt. That’s actually pretty insulting to FDR’s legacy.
Eh Johnson was ok, but he also fully engaged Vietnam. When told to back down he started bombing runs in the north. Not a great legacy to have as it still has repercussions and veterans suffering from it like my dad and uncles. Not a great legacy to have to your name.
But agree on FDR, what a champion. We need fighters like him back in politics.
Yeah, and of course handling of the Gulf of Tonkin incident leading up to Vietnam with Johnson, not a great legacy in some regards.
But as you pointed out with Roosevelt, Johnson was also willing to roll up his sleeves and use the bully pulpit properly to get meaningful legislation passed - laws which materially benefited the lives of regular working class Americans. Consider how he absolutely steamrolled the Dixiecrats on the way to passing the civil rights act.
We haven’t seen Dems fight like that for us for a long time. Biden and Manchin are basically blowing kisses at each other during press conferences while ramming through the Mountain Valley Pipeline at a time when climate change is undeniably reaching critical mass. It’s such a disheartening reality.
I think the vast majority of Americans would rally behind someone who truly fought for us, for progress. Polling agrees if you look at the data. But how can we get them onto the national stage when the corporate mainstream media is poised to absolutely assassinate their character, image, and even their livelihoods, on the way up?
That’s the biggest issue is getting them In mainstream. It’s decided the candidates they want to show us. They’ll take anyone who fights and label them as crazy and unhinged or outright unable to get things done. They want moderates or people like rfk jr who are actually batshit. So we get one extreme and one middle ground.
The dems know this as well, while the right can pick the absolute worst and extreme candidate and gain support. Like wtf
If you listen carefully you can hear Lauren Boebert chuckling.
Its getting harder to pretend that a government that does nothing is a good idea
Like him or hate him FDR was a great man. LBJ… Not so much.
Great at what? Being the origin point of the overgrown federal government that has its grubby mits involved in everything that we’re stuck with now?
🤦♂️Yes, she really is that stupid.
