Why do reporters talk over when there is an event? and why do they give too much information than what they should? They give you so much extra information happening behind the scenes. Then, they sneak up their own opinions within their reporting. News is like political gossip nowadays.

[@isaidme0]

She had one job to do and that was the border and we all see what a tremendous failure that is.

[@BradloRaul]

For the American people? Sure: a greater than 4% annual rise in the U.S. GDP (remember back before the huge GDP crash of his last 2 years in office when the GDP was growing at around 3% and Trump was crowing about it?). The lowest U.S. levels of unemployment in over 50 years! Lowest inflation rate among G-7 countries! New investment in our crumbling infrastructure- Trump promised that for 4 years, Biden delivered that in year one (roads and such are being repaired all over where I’m living, if that’s not happening where you are blame your local/state government from not taking advantage of the program). New investment in the high tech industry for our future economy. I could go on, but those are the high points.

[@ASunDivine7]

​@@isaidme0we all know why that didn't get done.. you must have forgotten that Trump told the republicans to strike their own bill they created down so he could run off of that particular subject..

[@Ricardo-f1w4i]

I can easily it if you do t know then you’re probably closed to hear it anyway. But if you really want to know, just google legislation passed by Biden and you’ll have your answer.

Yep the Republicans led the charge on a perfect Bill to tighten up the border and Trump told them to strike it down so he could run off of that.. so blame her but we all know the truth.. it's sad that you brought that up knowing the real reason why

Under the current circumstances, the Democratic Party's chances of winning the upcoming presidential election have decreased significantly. To change the current difficult situation, it is important not only to choose a new candidate. It is especially important to come up with a NEW IDEA (not a slogan), namely a new idea for serious reform of the presidential system. The main disadvantage of this system of government “from the outside” seems to be TWO ASPECTS: Firstly, the term of government. Considering the size of the United States in everything (economy, population, territory, influence and much more), and also given the inertia of processes with such impressive values, a presidential term of 4 years seems too short for serious changes. The second is the re-election of the current president; Two years after taking office, every president begins to think about future elections and becomes constrained in many ways in his decisions. I believe that the President of a great country should be freer from such pressure when making the right and necessary decisions for the good of the COUNTRY. In the modern political situation in the world, when global changes and reformatting of relations are taking place, stability of power has become an advantage (unfortunately, only for autocracies and dictatorships). To make greater use of the benefits of democracy, power must be made more stable and consistent. The future presidential candidate must declare that his main goal, if elected president, is to reform presidential power: first of all, declare himself a one-term president and propose constitutional changes in the 2028 presidential elections: the US President is elected for a term of at least 6-8 years without the right to re-election for a second term.

​@@JustBeingAwesome Fully qualified? Not in their eyes. In fact, she's missing the two qualifications they value most: white, male. Their words don't matter. They don't have principles. They raved about "energy" for years, but now that the Democrats have chosen a younger candidate and Drowsy Donald has become the oldest candidate ever, you won't hear a single thing about that anymore! They say they value truth and freedom, and in a way, they do. But they are ruled by their emotions. By their fear. How can you not be, when you understand so little of the world, the institutions that run it, the histories that have shaped it, and the tapestry of peoples that live within it? So, in the end, all they can do is cheer for a man - a caricature of a man, for he has the morals and self-awareness of a school bully and the mental acuity and physical fitness of a geriatric - who promises them freedom from the truth itself.
