Well, some of the replies on this have aged well. President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr has no chance at all of a second term. And diminishing chances of completing his first one. ---

Letā€™s see The Dow is at 36000, highest ever. 500,000+ new jobs added last month. The economy is roaring back so hard that we canā€™t make stuff as fast as people are buying it. Wages are rising, lifting low wage workers out of property. Two large and significant pieces of landmark legislation have passed, CARES act and Infrastructure bill, both on bipartisan votes. We are finally free of the military boondoggle in Afghanistan, with minimal casualties. Free vaccinations are available to all Americans. Yeah, this all really sucks. If youā€™re a Republican. Or Trump. ---

He hasnā€™t stopped the pandemic that can only be stopped by getting getting more people vaccinated, but when he tries to make them get vaccinated weā€™ll condemn him for that. Yeah. ---

Look at the beginning of this fucking moronā€™s thread. The douchebag implies that Biden sucks, people ask "How so?ā€™, and the fucking moron comes up with ā€œPeople are sayingā€. Now they bump their own thread with no new anything. I am done responding to the dipshit motherfuckerā€™s threads. ---

_Shrug_ Has the popularity Biden enjoyed gone downhill? Yes. Is his chance at a second term as solid as it was when he was first elected (whatever that was)? No, I donā€™t think so. But I think thus far heā€™s faced the challenges before him as well as he could have given the Former Ape is still around flinging sh\*t. No one was realistically expecting perfection, or so Iā€™d hope. And @Ann_Hedonia, Iā€™ll thank you to keep well-reasoned facts out of this. /s šŸ§ ---

What did Joe Biden have to do with the CARES act??? ---

Joe Biden is a failure because (checks notes) he hasnā€™t yet managed to un-fuck in ten months what his predecessor took four years to fuck up. ---

To be fair, there was quite a bit that the Republicans had fucked up even before that. ---

I misspoke, that shouldā€™ve been the American Rescue Plan Act. I guess that means Iā€™m too demented and senile to be President. ---

My WAG is that this thread was resurrected because the Democrats lost a few elections recently, which is clearly Bidenā€™s fault. ---
