    never said it was

    the two groups most resisting vaccines are Trump supporters and Minority males

    nothing more Biden or Trump can do to get them to take the vaccine

    the plan was to get people vaccinated, he can't force that on people, so blame the unvaxxed as that is on them

    You mean at the start of the pandemic? That was two years ago. Everything shut down. We are open now.

    TRUMP IS NOT THE PRESIDENT.

    IT IS TIME TO STOP paying people not to work.

    The point is, if this president had a clue, he could DO THINGS to fix our problems. Instead, all we get is ... nothing.

    yes, Trump shut down the economy, sad!

    if someone is unvaxxed at this point, that is on them, not Biden

    Not allowing them to work is on him.

    Talking about Trump is a deflection. We are talking about what THIS President is or is not doing, and I don’t see him doing anything.

    Biden is not any President. Why don't you say Omicron, Supply Chain Delays, and Inflation" aren't variables that Joe Biden can control

    I have been a member of various political discussion forums for over 15 years.

    But I have never known anything more satisfying - and easy - than exposing the hypocrisy and contradictions of Trumpists.

    There was a time when Republicans made me think, forced me to have some intellectual discipline in debates, and even managed to change my mind sometimes.

    But that's ancient history.

    Trump has so lowered the level of competence and probity necessary to be POTUS, that his supporters have no argument to criticize the Democrats.

    It will take years to clean up your pigsty.

    Apples and oranges, FreshAir.

    When the pandemic first hit we shut down to stop the spread and out of fear of the unknown.

    We have come a LONG way since then, what with vaccines and a better understanding of this virus.

    Our economy is open now. It is not 2020.

    Biden should not be extending Covid related unemployment benefits. We need people to go back to work.

    The federal government should not be flooding the economy with unearned dollars anymore, fueling inflation with trillion dollar bills.

    We should not be hampering our energy production industries. Does it hurt me personally that it costs me more to heat my house or drive to work? No because my wife and I have worked our way in to the top 10%, and we can absorb those higher costs and adjust to them without difficulty. So who do they hurt? They hurt the very people that Biden always claims he’s on the side of - the middle and lower classes. Those anti-energy policies HURT them! From my past, I know what it’s like to run out of money before the next paycheck comes in, and paying twice as much for gas and heat hurts. Biden should stop hurting our most vulnerable people and reverse course.

    Biden should not be firing people - people we all need - like truckers and dock workers - for not getting vaccinated. That DOESN’T HELP the supply chain crisis. And when demand outstrips supply, prices go up, again, hurting who?

    So there ARE things he can do, but he won’t. But he doesn’t seem to be engaged. He is not leading. He is not pushing for anything except more inflationary spending.

    Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress act like they have NOTHING TO DO but obsess over Trump, as if the daily lives of ordinary Americans don’t matter. F—k inflation. F—k the supply chain. F—k fuel prices. And, frankly, F—k the middle class and working poor. FU-K THEM! We don’t FU—ING CARE!

    They are a DISGRACE!

    End of rant.

    I almost feel sorry for the Democrats on this board who feel like they have to defend this ZERO in the White House.

    Almost ...

    are you referring to the people getting unemployment cause they say they won't get the vaccine? even if they have gotten it?

    "Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress act like they have NOTHING TO DO but obsess over Trump, as if the daily lives of ordinary Americans don’t matter. F—k inflation. F—k the supply chain. F—k fuel prices. And, frankly, F—k the middle class and working poor. FU-K THEM! We don’t FU—ING CARE!"

    like Republicans about Hillary's prior to 2016 election?

    had Republicans had some balls and impeached him in the senate, he could not run in 2024... we would be done with Trump... blame Republicans
