Biden modestly strong with one group... Liberal Athiests. Another reason they had to indict him.
Biden might not be the "popular" President (pretty hard with today's divisions), but he is the decent, competent President.
What's decent or competent about him?
Steers us on a moderate path, keeping the far-left wing of the Democratic Party from getting out of hand. Uses his experience to help get decent legislation passed. Solid foreign policy. He's done a good job.
Most of the stuff about him being senile is way overblown; he has always been like that.
Taking a $10million bribe from ukrainian oil company Burisma (with son Hunter serving on its board and under investigation) to threaten $1billion loan guarantee withholding against Ukraine unless they fire their prosecutor investigating said company, screams moderate sensible guy!!!
This was a pattern btw, of Joe being involved in his son's businesses while being Vice President. Flying Hunter around...involved in CEFC(Chinese energy company) meetings at the white house and his private residence! With documented meetings at the white house with CEFC execs and Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer.
Btw, this is like 7 years ago now. Do I think Joe is getting senile now...yeah..I do. I think the white house is being run by his cabinet. Still doesn't mean what the Biden White House is doing to Trump isn't corrupt af. They are clearly scripting Joe Biden's public outings with the names of Reporters for him to call on and the question and answers he's suppose to reply with.
One thing that's become abundantly clear to me in the last 7 years is how inconsequential the President actually is and it has nothing to do with the composition of Congress and the Senate or any of the things that people who still believe in the good vs evil model of government say. It's that all of the unelected people surrounding the President make sure that no matter what his actual beliefs are, things always stay on the same track. For all of the bluster of the Democrats who kept predicting an apocalypse while Trump was in office, it was a pretty mundane four years of business as usual other than all the chaos caused by the people who desperately wanted him out of office. "Biden" still enforces a lot of the same policy that "Trump" did, but because it's not Trump as the national spokesmodel anymore, nobody cares much about that. The one big thing that's different is the war in Ukraine.
Yes, the Administrative State rules, and that's anchored by civil service laws and the SES. Just like Rome?
President Trump did close the border, build 500 miles of border walls, ink USMCA, 5 Mideast peace deals, and Cancel the Paris Accord. But I'm sure he got additional blowback when he directed multiple departments to try to cut back by 10%. UniParty DC has the opposite thinking.
Look at BART. Ridership down what, 70%, 80%, no service or employee cuts. Spending actually up.
