    Except the 2 aren’t comparable.

    Biden is attempting to stop the issue at source which will negate the need for Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy for migrants who have already been detained.

    I mean that should be fairly obvious to anyone with the ability to think critically.

    There are more illegals crossing so far this year than a full 12 months in any of the years under Trump. If you had to score it, Trump did a better job than Biden looks like he is doing

    That isn't even close to being true.

    I’ll take your word on that but it’s a completely different point to what you originally posted which was 2 incomparable situations.

    Edit: seems I was wrong to take you at your word, not surprised by that BTW.

    It's hilarious to see though.

    The same Trump fans dropping in and embarrassing themselves day after day after day, just like dear leader they have absolutely no shame when posting lies.

    Mod: This isn't close to a good faith argument. Continue with this rhetoric, and I'll remove your access to the thread.

    I think one of the funniest things is trump supporters now claiming to give 2 sh1ts about immigrants

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    You prefer the circus that was the last four years? Biden is doing the job expected of him and doing it well, I'll take that over Trumps daily "rallies" pressers any day.

    Very high approval rating. He's clearly putting in serious hours.

    Boring is good, we are not looking for exciting TV, we are looking for a country to heal and improve and that's happening.

    Great!
    Politics should be boring, I'm glad there's a president in the white house where their policies gain the headlines rather than what dogwhistles they said or what country they tried to strong arm

    Others have said it, it's worth repeating.
    Trump turned the office in to the sh*ttiest reality TV production that has been on main stream television since Snookie and The Sitch were talking about Gym, Tan, Laundry.

    Every post complaining about Biden being boring is evidence of that and shows just what political conversations were like from 2016-2020.

    We're now back to wondering what exactly is meant by Biden calling Putin a killer in geo-political terms rather than wondering was it just an exaggerated statement made by a President whose feelings were hurt.

    Biden has on an interview on ABC, stated that Democrats may soon face a stark choice: reform the filibuster or accept that their agenda is a dead letter.

    I presume this is both for Manchin's and McConnell's ears.

    Honestly though posters like that are doing a great job ensuring nobody takes them seriously when there is something worth giving out about.

    Far from boring. When asked if Putin was a killer, Biden said yes. The Russian government's recalled their ambassador and are very unhappy, demanding an apology.

    Biden's promising further sanctions and "consequences." Pretty startling given the obsequiousness of the #IMPOTUS administration towards Russia, remember "We have killers too?" from then-candidate Trump?

    Now prepare for the Trump zealots to arrive saying Biden was being "unpresidential" or make some silly claim that Biden didn't know what he was saying when he answered.

    This is Biden's first foreign-policy crisis though. It will be interesting how it plays out. Try to ignore the Trumplodytes, you're talking shallow end of the gene pool there.

    I'm thinking that baiting Putin is still kind of scary; he's been sanctioned pretty regularly for nearly the last decade, and yet continues to stir the s**t. Would we want Biden to begin the ball rolling on pushing Russia out of the Crimea? That would weaken Putin tremendously at home.

    He also said he thinks Putin doesn't have a soul.

    It's this quasi religious language and thought process which indicates a dysfunctional country.

    I have never heard a Western leader talking about another leader having a soul or not. Bizarre stuff.

    Biden will hit his goal of 100 million COVID shots in 100 days by Friday - 40 days early: 12% of Americans are now fully vaccinated and 2.5 million injections are being administered daily


    Impressive

    And it's pretty clearly given the context that it's in reference to a lack of a conscience... It's pretty accepted to use it in such a context and does not necessarily mean a religious context. So as per usual making a big deal of nothing.

    Isn't Biden doing a live presser tonight? I'm sure he will mispronounce a word or two, will give the sore losers something to pounce on and talk about for a week or three.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovenia_Summit_2001

    "At the closing press conference, in response to a question about whether he could trust Putin, Bush said, "I looked the man in the eye. I found him very straightforward and trustworthy – I was able to get a sense of his soul."
