I don’t think too many Americans would say that Biden was a great president. In fact, the only thing that made him stand out was that he was not a criminal sociopath whose appeal was exclusively to greedy billionaire pigs and hateful morons.
It’s funny to hear the pundits say, “Democrats need to stand for something beyond ‘We’re not Trump.’”
I’ve never believed that. Just rid us of this psychopath. “Please!” is the exclamation of two-thirds of Americans and essentially all of the people in the rest of the world’s developed countries.
Incompetence isn’t actually the issue with Trump.
Imagine for an instant that the president was paid $100 billion per year to run this country, and that he was given a $50 billion annual merit-based bonus if his key statistics were up that measured how well the country was doing in terms of the quality of Americans’ lives. Do you think he’d be starting useless and illegal wars that drive up consumer prices? Destroying the educational system and the environment?
Not for a millisecond.
As shown here, there are (formerly credible) people who are telling us that Trump is restoring Americans’ trust in government.
Do they truly believe this?
One of the casualties of the post-truth era is that the statements of our “leaders” no longer are required to have any basis in fact. What Jim Jordan says here is a fine example.
When he says “better” here, is he referring to runaway inflation? Trump’s purposeless and illegal war with no end in sight? His blatant corruption and criminality? His having, quite successfully, divided the American people into groups that hate each other? The enrichment of billionaires at the expense of the working class? The carefully engineered collapse of the environment so as to favor his donors in fossil fuels? The demise of the U.S. educational system?
Please be clear.
