Joe Biden Ain't Done Nothin' For Me! Donald Trump Is The Real President!!
Joe Biden already has an impressive record, yet the American Sheeple think he's been napping for two years
When you are going on a spiritual path, as I explain it, you are basically raising your vibration. You then begin to understand me better, not by belief, but through your own experiences. The spiritual path is the process of increasing your vibration. That is the meaning of seeing when others are blind, attracting better things that others don't think you can have, and more, all this is part of the process. The only thing you can't do is alter free will. People do have the free will to be stupid if they want to. It's their right to experience their stupidity. As a result, your evolution will take you anywhere, but that doesn't mean others will be there. That's the great paradox of any spiritual journey.

One of the deeply American qualities that never ceases to amaze me is the capacity to absorb and translate Stupid and wrong as if it’s the Gospel truth. How often do you hear “man on the street” interviews in which people proclaim with all sincerity that Donald Trump was a great President?
Of course, when an interviewer asks these folks what Trump did that was so memorable or made him a great President, more often than not the inquisitor is greeted with mumbling and a thousand-yard stare. They’ve accepted as fact that Trump was a great President for so long that they’ve never given any thought to what he did, which truthfully wasn’t much.
There aren’t many accomplishments that one could credit to Trump, mainly because he spent his four-year Reign of Error doing everything but what he was elected to do. This is why he’ll probably end up being the first former President to don prison orange.
Joe Biden has been in office a bit over two years, and he already has an impressive list of accomplishments. For some reason, though, the American Sheeple think he’s been sitting in the Oval Office doing nothing but smelling the hair of female interns and eating ice cream. It’s as if they have no idea what President Biden has done for the past two years.
Two years into a presidency that the White House casts as the most effective in modern history, President Biden is set to deliver a State of the Union address Tuesday to a skeptical country with a majority of Americans saying they do not believe he has achieved much since taking office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The poll finds that 62 percent of Americans think Biden has accomplished “not very much” or “little or nothing” during his presidency, while 36 percent say he has accomplished “a great deal” or “a good amount.” On many of Biden’s signature initiatives — from improving the country’s infrastructure to making electric vehicles more affordable to creating jobs — majorities of Americans say they do not believe he has made progress, the poll finds.
I read those two paragraphs and found myself gobsmacked. Surely, I thought, the American Sheeple can’t be that clueless and uninformed?
Boy, was I wrong on that count. And don’t call me Shirley.
The dynamic arguably raises the stakes of Biden’s prime time speech on Tuesday. The president is expected to use the platform to tout his accomplishments and remind voters that many of the laws he signed during the first half of his term are just now being implemented.
It’s a message he has pushed since before the midterm elections, when his party’s better-than-expected performance convinced many aides that, despite his low approval ratings, Americans largely support his agenda. Biden has said one of his main goals for the year is to make sure Americans feel the impact of the laws he signed during his first two years in office, including a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, legislation aimed at combating climate change, a $52 billion effort to boost domestic manufacturing and a cap on the price of insulin for seniors.
“It’s one thing to have passed it all — now we have to make sure we’re on it every single day. Not a joke,” Biden said in a Jan. 26 speech on the economy. “Implementing it so people can see what we’ve delivered and give it to them directly.”
Americans aren’t feeling it? They don’t think Biden’s accomplished much? Good Lord, y’all; are they even paying attention? Or are they so addicted to sound-bite politics that if they don’t get it served up in less than 30-second portions, they can’t absorb it?
Or are they so conditioned to getting their news pablum from Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity that they can’t imagine how Sleepy Joe could manage not to fuck things up?
Perhaps if y’all would get your “news” and information from a source other than Fox News, you might come to understand that Joe Biden in two years, has already far exceeded what Donald Trump claimed to have accomplished in four.
Biden came into office telling Americans what he was hoping to accomplish…and he’s proceeded to do much of what he told us he would do. This despite Republicans attempting to sabotage his every step- and succeeding in many cases. In more than a few cases, that sabotage has been aided by two members of his own party- Joe Manchin and Kysten Sinema (who has since declared herself an independent).
Despite professional Washingtonian screwballs pissing on his shoes at every turn, President Biden has managed to achieve much of what he set out to do. Yet Americans still aren’t feeling it? Have they been so benumbed by four years of Stupid that they can no longer be bothered to pay attention?
Good Lord, y’all; what does the man have to do to get your attention? Sponsor an insurrection at the Capitol? Bang Stormy Daniels in the Rose Garden on Super Bowl Sunday?
It amazes me that a Republican can screw the pooch for four years, and the public still thinks he’s the best thing since Jesus Christ invented edible underwear. But put a competent, intelligent Democrat in the White House, one who puts his nose to the grindstone, does his job, isn’t an embarrassment, and the collective response is ”MEH!!, what has he done for me today??”
Of course, the good news, if there’s such to be found, is that the American Sheeple aren’t high on Democrats OR Republicans, something I find baffling. No, “both-sides-ism” isn’t a legitimate argument, as in “both sides are equally bad.”
That only shows that you’re not paying attention or, even worse, can’t be bothered to pay attention.
Well, at least more Americans recognize Kevin McCarthy is a Grade-A, world-class, top-shelf, USDA Prime douchebag. I suppose that’s worth something.
Still, one has to wonder why the American public is still laboring under the mistaken impression that President Biden has spent the past two years playing “hide the salami” in the Lincoln Bedroom with the First Lady.
For a man in his early 80s, he’s been pretty damned busy.
Three in 10 Americans say Biden has made progress lowering prescription drug costs, while 47 percent say he has not and 23 percent are unsure. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act includes a series of provisions aimed at reducing drug costs for Medicare recipients, though a $35 cap on monthly insulin costs only took effect last month and the impact of other changes may not be felt for years. Among seniors ages 65 and older, a larger 42 percent say Biden has reduced drug costs.
On the question of whether Biden has made progress in improving the affordability of electric vehicles, 26 percent of Americans say that he has while 56 percent say he has not and 18 percent have no opinion. The expanded tax credits authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act became available to car buyers in January.
Perhaps most troubling for the White House, about a third of adults say Biden has made progress creating more good jobs in their community while 60 percent say he has not. Biden has overseen the fastest pace of job growth in U.S. history, with unemployment reaching lows not seen in decades.
The president received more good news Friday, with the release of new data showing that the labor market added 517,000 jobs and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.4 percent, the lowest level since May 1969. “I’m happy to report that the State of the Union and the state of our economy is strong,” Biden said after the numbers were released.
Tonight, he’ll make the case that he and his Administration have been working hard to keep the promises they made to the American People. Indeed, some of the legislation they’ve been able to pass won’t come fully to fruition for years, but the funding is in the pipeline. Especially for large infrastructure projects, the timeline can be long and drawn out. The planning, permitting, and implementation processes can take years- but at least they’re in the works under Joe Biden. That’s more than ever happened under Mango Mussolini.
But this is one of the things I really don’t understand:
He has done ALL of these things, and yet Americans aren’t feeling it? They’re wholly unaware that he’s done anything? What planet do these cretins call home?
So not only is a Democratic President responsible for keeping his promises, he’s also responsible for drumming it into the thick skulls of Americans that he’s keeping his promises, because
Americans don’t believe Democratic Presidents will do what they promise to do, even as they’re doing precisely what they promised.
the mainstream media will make it clear to Americans when Republican Presidents are accomplishing things, but for some reason are far less clear about the performance of Democratic Presidents.
Americans are far more likely to believe Right-wing media sources that refuse to credit Democratic Presidents for anything, even as they believe the sun rises and sets over Republican chief executives.
Part of the problem can also be laid to the fact that, as already mentioned, the mainstream media has done an exceedingly poor job of informing the American Sheeple of what the Biden Administration has accomplished. And Americans, in their best spoiled, impatient, “What have you done for me today?” petulance, don’t understand it if it isn’t spelled out for them and slapped across their faces.
We’re so caught up in the constant crossfire of the partisan warfare that consumes every part of this country that it’s impossible to calmly and rationally evaluate the truth. And the truth is that the Biden Administration has accomplished far more for America in two years than the Trump Administration dreamed of doing in four. And they’ve done it without the corruption, ineptitude, and incompetence that were the hallmarks of Trump’s Reign of Error.
Perhaps Americans grew so inured to Donald Trump’s circus sideshow that they came to assume that every Presidential Administration would forthwith be staffed by clowns.

No matter what Joe Biden does, or how well he does it, he’ll always suffer from the reality that he followed Donald Trump and his circus freaks. And there are still millions of Americans who continue to believe that Orange Jesus was a GREAT President, perhaps even the GREATEST President in American history.
Talk about the soft tyranny of low expectations, eh? (apologies to Paul Begala)
America may not yet have reached the point of becoming the set from Idiocracy. Nonetheless, one could make a convincing argument that it’s turning into a dangerous mash-up of Texas and Floriduh. And that’s nothing to be proud of, y’all.
Stupid should not be a goal to be strived for. It should be a fate to be avoided at all costs, but I fear the siren song of Stupid is convincing a majority of Americans that a life without critical thought is a life free of strife and worry.
Why think when others are able, ready, and more than willing to do the heavy lifting for you?
