You read the election results wrong. A majority did not vote for Trump.
The dysfunctional Republican House continues to crumble.

Of course not. Biden has too much respect for the Constitution and the people of America to embarrass the nation as Trump did 4 years ago. Biden and Democrats understand that government is about the people of the nation and not the people running for office.
I dont listen to AM radio since Rush died and dont have a Facebook account.
I do have it good. But it could be much better with a country headed in the right direction. I fear for my kids future more than my own.
We need to end unrestricted immigration, fix the drug and crime issue ASAP, stop focusing on things such as DEI and instead focus on rebuilding our military for a rapidly changing and more dangerous world. If we could improve the economy just a bit and get interest rates down too that would be a bonus for sure.
I have been living an alternate reality the last 4 years of stagnation and watching a great country run amok brought on by the relaxation of criminal and immigration enforcement.
YOUR IDEAS DO NOT WORK. That is the reality you should consider. Wake the F up. Look at what Democrat policy has brought us and consider that another approach might be the correct one. Improvement is just around the corner. If that means that I have to put up with some crazy Truth or X posts while it happens, OK. Sign me up.
Surprise.....I am actually shocked you read my post wrong. (sarcasm)
I said 'a majority of voters' didnt I? Is that not true? Voters. As in those that cast a vote.
"Well it seems a majority of American voters disagree":
Or selling of documents, attempted over turning of elections, back peddling on campaign promises and out right selling of the office of the POTUS. Last four years of my life have been the best ever. Sorry yours has sucked so much…
Biden didnt actually implement a single policy that benefited Americans in any real way. He, like most liberals, talks the talk.....well you know the rest.
I've addressed this in a prior post.
You like the crime, drugs, filth of our inner cities, shoplifting, closing of long time businesses and 25% inflation? Glad your personal economics wasn't affected but most Americans disagree. Need I post some exit poll data to reinforce my opinion?
Your post demonstrates exactly what is wrong with the Democrat party since Clinton. Think about that for awhile. I am not gonna help you with your required self reflection for if the realization doesn't come from within....
A majority is not the same thing as the most when the candidate winning the election receives less than half of the total votes cast - like Trump.
He received the most votes; he did not receive a majority of the votes.
Sure buddy. Inflation under 3%. Violent crime near an all time low point. Economy booming. Drug deaths dropping at the highest rate ever seen.
Things are just terrible. Let’s see where we’re at in 4 years, you should start gathering your excuses for Senor Shitinhispants now.
I didn’t see any of that. Not saying it doesn’t exist. I am sure, though, none of that existed before the Biden administration took over. And I will bet Fox News says it is all better in February or so….
...that's why they had to evacuate the chambers, and shot a rioter that tried to climb through a window into the secured area...
....with crime levels being DOWN across the board? (look them up)
Yes. You do live in an alternate reality.
Ah, but he did Gus…. He removed Trump from office. That is what the voters demanded in 2020. In overwhelming numbers.
Biden’s Presidency was one of accomplishment. It will be favorably judged in future years. The strengthening of foreign alliances is necessary to neutralize the expansionist policies of Red China and Putin’s Russia. His “chip bill” is going to be key to returning key manufacturing back to the USA…Biden’s 4 years were anything but a failure.
The Infrastructure Bill and IRA have benefitted "flyover country" immensely.
As did the caps on insulin, negotiating drug pricing for Medicare, etc etc etc.
Not only did Bonespurs not receive a majority of the votes, he got less than 30% of the eligible voters in the USA to vote for him. That's called a paper president.
That’s what happens when your party saddles up to a self-serving, lying, grifting populist.
Our country is so ****ed.
To their credit, that's an improvement over electing a pedophile for SOTH.
Score one for the nature over nurture crowd, as time away from fringe stupidity and bullshit clearly hasn’t improved your overall intelligence one iota.
We have a bigger legal white collar crime and legal drug crime issue than the supposed violent ones.
The military can be any place in a day or so. And Ukraine has shown cyber and drone capabilities are the future and now. Add that with our obvious Navy and air superiority we’re doing fine.
Rush has been replaced with the 2000 or more online influencers and podcasts. Claiming to be the independent alternative media. Which in reality they aren’t. They’re all getting paid for direct engagement or constantly saying things are on fire.
He’s been replaced by a million Joe Rogan wannabes.
Or regularly fluff billionaires who influence our President Elect?🤔
His heroes are supposedly Bill Hicks, George Carlin, and Richard Pryor. None of those guys would interact with politicians or billionaires without ****ing with them.
Ok here are the actual facts, with links. Which you failed to supply support for your data.
1. Drug deaths dropping at the highest rate ever seen:
Drug overdose deaths per 100k
2016 19.8
2017 21.7
2018 20.7
2019 21.6
2020 28.3
2021 32.4
2022 32.6
2023 31.3
So using your statement "Drug deaths dropping at the highest rate ever seen." Ok. Seems true even looking back to 2002. However, this is, once again, using statistics to make a point that cannot be made by any other method. Notice anything else stand out? Let me help. The highest percentage, year over year increase in drug deaths from 2019 to 2020 then remaining at that level before minimally dropping in 2023. And yet still that number is higher than any number seen per 100k in our history. 31.3 is still 42% higher than the highest deaths per 100k under Trump. So congrats. You finally got it to go down. I think the easy thing to see here is how much higher the deaths have been during Biden's Presidency.
2. Violent crime near an all time low point
No. See this chart. I'll link it Use the link to plug in data from the last 10 years and then all violent crime and then rates or counts.
Right now counts and rates are peaking. Certainly not "at an all time low." By any measure.
3. Inflation under 3%
Sure. That is true. But after a high of 8% in 2022 and higher than any yearly inflation rate during Trump. His high was 2.4% in 2018. But there you go again calling a decrease from recent highs a victory.

4. Economy booming.
The current real GDP growth rate is right at or below those during Trumps first administration. So booming? Not so much.

Biden achieved significantly more legislative victories than tiny did, or will do. Significant legislation that helped average Americans . tiny had majorities in every chamber and did nothing. Biden inherited a dumpster fire, and made lemonade out of lemons.
I was told Trump’s economy pre pandemic was boomingOk here are the actual facts, with links. Which you failed to supply support for your data.

. Drug overdoses need to be attacked from the demand side more. We have failed lower class Americans. Need more legal weed. And better job prospects for the lower classes. I’m sure more tax cuts targeted at the upper levels will help that
. People turn to substances to deal with physical and emotional pain. Driving though rural Iowa on 21 from Waterloo to Ottumwa is always depressing. When the dollar general is your major store that’s a bad sign. Near zero positive economic activity in most of the small towns.
It will be the biggest grift in our nation's history.
It's going to be much worse. Trump and republicans don't govern. They just complain and try to rig the system for their wealthy donors.
