Damn. That asshole doesn't even get along with his damn voter pool. What a POS.
What was Biden's biggest accomplishment over the past 4 years?
- Thread starter Sullivan
- Start date
Butch Lewis Act passed as part of the rescue plan to make sure pension had enough money for failing employers.
They found a way to push through something they had tried to push through several times while they were spending money like it was on fire. I'll assume it needed to be done as it was attempted several times and say good win.

Now beginning the latest rounds of Medicare drug price negotiations which includes Ozempic so all you fatty poor magas still don't have to diet and exercise.
No you can't and it's really bad with that one (and a few others).
I would say helping navigate the covid/post-covid waters and headwinds faced with supply chain issues, Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Hamas, and hurricanes, where during the last 2 years of his presidency, the S&P 500 slayed. Could he have done better? Absolutely. Could he have done worse? Absolutely.
Federal projects EO.
He made it so the employee/employer had a contract, even contractors in a hope of hedging lockouts or strikes.
Ok. Good win.

Biden's biggest accomplishment was holding off the worst Anti-Israel instincts of his party to let Israel do what they need to in Gaza and Lebanon, directly leading to severely weakening Iran's influence and the fall of Assad.
He could have done even better supporting Israel in my opinion, and potentially extended the conflict by occasional weak words, but given the extreme anti-Israel pro-Hamas headwinds among the Democratic base, he deserves a lot of credit. And honestly, given Biden's obvious diminishment, it's easy to claim that this group or those staffers are actually steering things in his administration. But I think you have to assume that his continued support of Israel most likely comes from his own personal conviction under a lot of pressure.
And while there are a ton of variables in play, and we'll see what happens with Iran, the potential the long lasting positive effects of a weakened Iran in the region could pay tremendous future benefits to peace, including for the Palestinians.
He also deserves credit in my opinion for support of Ukraine, but:
a) there isn't enough resolution there to paint the results of that support as an accomplishment yet
b) unlike the support of Israel, support of Ukraine is a pretty easy political winner among his own party and the general public, and is in lockstep with almost all of the West.

Dude, I appreciate you being one of the few conservative voices on this board, but I think you're fighting the wrong battle here. We've all said and posted dumb stuff on here, but I don't see anything wrong with his takes.
They are like having an obnoxious drunk outside your window singing at 2am while digging around in the trash. They really need to go.
A Few!? You, Whisky, Scruddy, H4aD, Rifler, Rico, Champ, Sooner, Hans, MikeyHawk, PF, Doobi, Northern, Hitman, Faulty, Goldie, Trad, thewop, Sullivan, Ferentz, Sharky
While not all voted for Trump, that's a shit ton of conservatives on this board and I know I'm missing several.
You mean your grandad's 640 acres? The only ditch diggers are the entitled 3rd-4th-5th generation farm kids who think they have it all figured out but can't seem to figure out their fertilizer/agronomy/banking needs without paying someone else to do it..
The ratio on here is about 5-1 if not higher. And for the record, I was recommending to one of my own to chill out, now it's up to him to take that recommendation but I don't see that happening from the lefties on this board.
Too many to name. Definitely a longer more significant list than his predecessor.
I'm not a lefty, but I tell Chis to chill and take a breath all the time.
He's not a conservative, he's a moronic troll who hides behind an anonymous user name. Reagan/Dole would not have claimed this fool..
Do you ever check in on your own Putin mega thread? The results are in - Russia's ability to wage a ground war in Europe has been neutered for the foreseeable future. Russia has made very little progress in 3 years while suffering 815K casualties, and losing 20K AFVs, 22K artillery, 9.8K tanks, 1.2K MLRS, 331 choppers, 369 planes, 1K anti aircraft, 28 warships/boats, and 1 submarine. That is despite the roadblocks presented by the GOP, even though Reagan would be giving Ukraine an attaboy and unwavering support.
Biden's biggest accomplishment was defeating Trump in 2020.
Well, JD Vance, RFK Jr and Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly has as well. Must be some truth in it.
Well you are absolutely wrong. First your butt buddy Orange Dumpster said in 2016 that he would get infrastructure going big time. He couldnt pass infrastructure even when he had a Repub House and Senate for the first 2 years of his first term. Now that is total failure yet you bootlickers wont admit it or talk about it.
Long time congressional watchers thought Biden did an almost impossible thing getting a huge infrastructure bill passed and signed when he did not have full control. THIS COUNTRY IS FALLING APART. Iowa has over a thousand bridges that are sub standard and the US has tens of thousands. Yet your buddy the Dumpster couldnt do it.
Biden has trillions of dollars passed in budgets and law to create great jobs to fix a HUGE number of infrastructure problems. You dont know shit. Plus Biden and the Chips act which is already seeing factories built and ready to make electronic chips and components back in the US. And the Energy reduction Act that or whatever it is called that created 600,000 new jobs in manufacturing and construction of renewable and other energy projects.
And guess what the economy was the best growing economy, based on measurements, over the last 60 years. Some people just drink the orange koolaid and never really want to know the truth. Good luck with Orange Tariff Boy
So you think dead and wounded Marines in the name of another absolute biden clusterphuck is a "win" too?
I think some HBOT regulars actually were fooled...
Best economy in the world.
The U.S. economy will continue to be the developed world’s best performer in 2025, easily topping Europe and Japan and giving President-elect Donald Trump a running start on his plan to spur faster growth, the International Monetary Fund said on Friday.

But without criticizing Trump by name, the fund warned that excessive deregulation and tax cuts could create a “boom-bust” dynamic for the U.S. and global economies, with a short-term growth spurt followed by an abrupt slump. And it warned that new U.S. import tariffs and potential retaliation by other countries could reignite inflation.
During the presidential campaign, Trump promised “large tax cuts,” an end to “costly and burdensome regulations” and the most comprehensive taxes on imports in nearly a century.
The United States is expected to grow this year at an annual rate of 2.7 percent, half a percentage point faster than the fund projected in October. The Euro area and Japan both appear likely to grow at a rate of around 1 percent, the fund said in its latest global economic forecast.
The global economy will post steady but “lackluster” growth through the end of 2026, as major economies outside the United States struggle with their own domestic challenges.
“The big story is the divergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world,” said Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF’s chief economist.
American voters last year showed themselves unimpressed by Biden administration claims of a strong economy, rejecting Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential bid over inflation concerns.
But since the depths of the pandemic recession, the United States has grown significantly faster than all of its advanced-economy rivals. Increasingly productive workers, a more welcoming business environment and the world’s largest capital market explain the growing U.S. edge, the fund said.
Economic problems in the Euro area and China could allow the United States to pull further ahead, Gourinchas said. The Chinese economy is at risk of tumbling into “a debt-deflation” trap, where weak demand causes prices to fall, making it harder for businesses and individuals to earn enough to repay their borrowing.
The IMF analysis offered no conclusions about specific Trump administration policies and said it is more likely that the United States grows faster than expected in 2025, rather than slower.
On Thursday, hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, Trump’s nominee to become treasury secretary, told his confirmation hearing, that the incoming president would “unleash the American economy” through deregulation, lower taxes and higher energy production.
“President Trump has a generational opportunity to unleash a new economic golden age that will create more jobs, wealth and prosperity for all Americans,” Bessent testified before the Senate Finance Committee.
But the IMF forecast carried some veiled warnings for U.S. policymakers, including on resurgent inflation and long-term government budget deficits.
Gourinchas said some Trump policies could halt progress in the fight against inflation, causing prices to rise at a faster clip.
“While many of the policy shifts under the incoming U.S. administration are hard to quantify precisely, they are likely to push inflation higher in the near term,” he wrote in a blog post on the IMF website.
Tax cuts and deregulation are likely to cause demand for goods and services to increase. At the same time, tariffs on imported goods and immigration restrictions will make it harder to satisfy that higher demand, meaning prices would be likely to increase, Gourinchas wrote.
Tax cuts would help the economy grow faster in the short term but require larger deficit reduction in the long term, which “could become disruptive to markets and the economy,” according to the IMF.
The fund raised particular concerns over the uncertainty surrounding trade policy, as Trump has already threatened to impose tariffs on the top three U.S. trade partners: Mexico, Canada and China. And those countries have vowed to retaliate with their own trade restrictions if he does.
New tariffs, or import taxes, could have a larger inflationary effect than those Trump imposed in his first term, the fund said. Consumers and businesses that were rattled by the highest inflation in 40 years under Biden might react quickly to new price increases, setting in motion a vicious cycle of rising prices and wages.
“Upside risks to inflation could be higher this time,” the fund concluded.
Cool virtue signaling but those Marines probably would have preferred not to have been there in the first place, fighting a war with ROEs that mirrored Vietnam
Naw, bro, I snagged this 640 back when ag was bleak. May have used the equity from what I had rightfully passed down to me to make the move, but that doesn't make me a bad person, does it?
We go where we're told and only ask for the tools to complete the mission........not to be dropped into a haphazard clusterphuck for a jo photo op!
So you bought your crop land with mommy and daddies money and want to play the "I've had a target on me my whole life card"
With me.....
go sit your ass in the corner you little bitch.
Absolutely not. I see where he was trying to go, and I thought he was just trying to be respectful put lipstick on that pig
Ummmmmm......no, you can't read very well can you?! It was my land that I owned free and clean when I used the equity to make a fair offer to the owner who was under duress at the time.
Start with see Puff run, maybe?
It's one thing to be retarded, it's another thing to be a liar:
"May have used the equity from what I had rightfully passed down to me to make the move"
You used mommy and daddies money, like the bitch you are.
No wonder you own nothing...you have no concept of successive ownership. It's their nothing...they are in the Earth! It's mine and I pay the taxes on the motherphucker!
No. The fact that you are a complete douche and a prick is what makes you a bad person.
Sure. That's all good stuff. But it is still pretty much ongoing. More importantly, supporting Ukraine is overwhelmingly popular, within his party, the country overall, and the entire west. I do think Biden's support is laudable and one of the few things he's been good and right on. It just feels less like an accomplishment. But I'm ok if you want to call it such.
