1. Yes, they are doing to Biden what they did to Jimmy Carter

Carter's administration did a whole lot of great things - but he was framed as a failure by the press. I don't have time right now to look up sources for that contention - maybe later.

[applegrove]

3. Didn't Republicans to a deal with the Iran Revolutionary guard or the Aiatola

to not free US embassy hostages in Iran until Carter was out of office?

[Mblaze]

4. Yes

[Rebl2]

6. I don't know

but wouldn’t put it past them.

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. That was the start of Iran-Contra

"arms for hostages" didn't mean a payment for their release, it was payment to delay their release.

A lot more people would have been jailed for everything that came from that, but it was successfully covered up by Bill Barr. Yes, that Bill Barr.

[Grins]

31. It meant cash for illegal payments to the Contras.

Thank you, Oliver North.

[orleans]

12. yes and they were freed as soon as ray guns came in. google is telling me that it is a

conspiracy theory

then there's wiki

it's exhausting. i'm sticking with the "conspiracy" theory

16. Republicans sold weapons to a regime that held Americans hostage

They were released on Reagan's inauguration day.

Then Reagan's administration did Iran Contra. They also sold plenty of weapons to Afghan Mujahideen, Saddam Hussein, and anyone else who wanted to kill Americans later on. Real patriots.

[peppertree]

30. Poppy Bush and Bill Casey weren't meeting with Iranian delegates to buy area rugs, that's for sure

Although they probably got a few in the bargain (hey - why not, right?).

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. And, the next pResident tore down much of what he had achieved. IF a repug is elected in '24

we MUST expect the same to happen.

[Wild blueberry]

2. K&R to infinity

Of course the Death Cult obstructs and belittles him, but I think the corporate media is trying to crush him because he is solidly with working people.
Thank you, President Biden!

[multigraincracker]

5. The truth can be

very painful. Lies are easy to swallow.

[brer cat]

8. Spot on, sistah!

[bringthePaine]

9. lovely trove of refreshing common sense👍

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. And have a 39% approval rating. Only in 'Merica

[In It to Win It]

13. I CHECKED MY BANK ACCOUNT AND THERE WAS NO $1.2 TRILLION! BOOOO! BIDEN SUCKS

[lastlib]

14. And accomplished much of it with a hostile Senate!

Essentially working with 48 reliable votes with 50-52 opposing. I call it an amazing OUTSTANDING performance!

[Unca Jim]

15. Ummm...welll

Anyone could do that, and as long as people were suffering and things were not getting better, this would still be true.

[soldierant]

17. Actually, this could happen to any Democratic President -

and has happened to all of them in my ifetime, except maybe JFK, who didn't live long enough for them to really build up a head of steam

[2naSalit]

18. Unless you're Hillary Clinton.

[Skittles]

22. thank you

that would happen to ANY WOMAN

[2naSalit]

23. You know it.

Same as it ever was.

[Trailrider1951]

19. Oh, and deal with a fricken PANDEMIC as well. All in half of his 1st term.

Best president since OBAMA!

21. Shame, shame on McConnell.

24. When politics is perception and the MSM writes the reality it wants to sell to you.

Along with the GOP propaganda network and all the RW and Dark Money trolls online.

They want to steer your feelings and write your script for their own dark purposes. Every F***ing one of them. Their agenda is to run your life to suit their desire for power and money. None of them is actually invested in the same truths We hold to be self evident.

Not really.

The MSM want enough wiggle room to play it for whomever has the money and the connections to power. Look at how they toadied up to W and then to TFG to normalize their clearly bent agendas and behavior. They know about the dark side of Evangelicals but they refuse to tell us about that. They knew the genuinely questionable past of both Shrub and the Orange Menace yet they fell all over themselves trying not to discuss the obvious doubts and the real documented disturbing histories of both men.

The center ring for now is the public committee hearings, and you may have noticed that the war in Ukraine has almost disappeared from headline media. Along with substantial coverage of COVID.

We have over 500 active new cases in the county north of here. A place that straddles the primary east-west interstate in which one of the most over-stressed regional hospitals is struggling against the latest surge. But because our governor, Greg Gianforte (R), is dedicated to trumpian logic he has reduced the frequency of COVID reporting to once a week. Which means we only hear about last week one week too late. And no-one dares discuss the public health indications of it, or the risk the unvaccinated are putting on everyone else. He's far more concerned about victimizing women enough to look like the next hot choice after DeSantis.

[Kid Berwyn]

25. Thanks, Joe!

For EVERYTHING!!!!!

[progressoid]

26. Sorry but no.

He didn't create 9 million jobs. 9 million job were filled while he was President.

And leaving Afghanistan was messy to which Democrats responded by saying that Biden was just fulfilling an agreement that Trump made.


There are better ways to pump up your record than to resort to vaguely accurate statements.

YMMV.

[calimary]

27. No shit.

And I just hate it!

[markie]

28. K&R n/t
