Biden is a terrible president

[Matt]

The only positive thing is he doesn't send mean tweets.

-Inflation? Through the roof.
-Gas prices? Through the roof.
-Afghanistan withdrawal? COMPLETE disaster.
-Covid response? He is damn lucky the vaccine was developed under President Trump - Biden's plan sucked.

Inflation - predicted for the last 4 years, especially during the heart of COVID last year that it would catch up to us. With Americans spending like crazy (a sign of a good economy), it’s here. Not really sure how this can be blamed on Biden

Gas Prices - ever heard of supply and demand? Sure, it was great when gas was $1.29 a gallon in the spring on 2020 BECAUSE HARDLY ANYONE WAS DRIVING. We had a glut of gas then. OPEC and Russian have now cut back on supply and a barrel of gas is nearly $75. The POTUS has very little, if not no control over this

Afghanistan - tRump had the planned withdrawal plotted out last year and Biden followed through on it. We’ve been there for 20 years. It doesn’t matter if we would’ve stayed another 2 months, years or decades - this would’ve happened.

COVID response - you can’t be serious. Rump had no plan. Biden’s plan to get 50, 60 then 70% of this country vaccinated worked. The states where the new Delta variant is increasing (Florida and Texas) are all ran by Republicans. Ask yourself why is that….

Wrong on all counts.

Trump's plan got the vaccine available. Trump's plan was to distribute through pharmacies, which was very successful. Biden's plan for mass vaccination sites failed miserably.

Gas prices are not as simple as supply and demand - when we diminished our ability to increase oil supply domestically, we increased our supply on OPEC production.

The Afghanistan withdrawal clusterfuck is COMPLETELY on Biden. Trump planned to withdraw, but we never got to see his plan to fruition because of mean tweets. The incompetent fuck SHOULD BE addressing the nation TONIGHT. Instead, we might be hearing from dementia man in the next few days. Here is what Robert O'Neill (the man who killed bin laden and spoke highly of Bush AND Obama) had to say:

“Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward. And Freedom will be defended” Unless a worthless politician is in charge.

Inflation isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Gas prices are due to extremely high demand and recovering from previous sunken demand. The supply had adjusted and then rapidly changed.

Afghanistan should have never been nation built in the first place. We have wasted how many millions? And the Afghan armies fold like their namesake blankets. That's on Bush. The withdrawal plan? Designed by Biden? No, designed by Dump!

The COVID response? Good by the Dems. Bad from people like DeathSantis.

Another lap dog GOP response

The pharmacy plan happened and was expanded under Biden. Mass vaccinations were greatly amped up after January 20. I was able to get my first COVID 19 shot in a hospital as part of being in the Stage 2 group in February. After getting the second shot in March, my wife was able to get it a couple of weeks later as part of mass vaccinations simply by making an appointment at Rite Aid.

Gas - we diminished our supply? Really? Don’t tell me it was by shutting down the construction of the pipeline going from Canada to Mexico. Are you blaming the refinery computer hack on him? The hurricane that diminished supply?

I take your Afghanistan response with a grain of salt when you call Biden incompetent and having dementia. tRump couldn’t do this withdrawal because of mean tweets? And I’ve heard soldier boy on the radio before - a little too radical for me plus he’s making such statements to sell books

Democrat lap dogs keep regurgitating dem talking points...

Where is the president tonight?

Realist is right on with this. We weren't driving as much so the price went down. The supply chain for oil is very fragile. Slow consumption up even just a little and it causes backups in the chain and drives the price down.

We can argue the other things Matt talked about. But high gas prices are the consumers fault. If everyone just drove the speed limit, you'd have prices under $2 in a few months. Just that little bit of conserving would do it.

The first half of the above statement is correct. The second half of the above statement is misleading, although you are correct that the U.S. is currently a net importer of crude oil.

When oil prices reached generational record lows in April 2020, and in view of general uncertainty with regard to the future direction of the market, lenders tightened reserve-based line of credit borrowing bases and producers decided to stop drilling new wells and to temporarily "shut-in" wells that require a high selling price to be profitable.

Lenders in general were already taking a cautionary approach to oil & gas lending following the massive wave of E&P company bankruptcies that occurred from 2016 through 2018.

The above dynamics have little to do with federal policy. Lenders and E&P companies alike are still recovering from the shell-shock of 2020. In 2021, Lenders took a conservative approach with regard Borrowing Base allocations and E&P companies took a very conservative stance to capex budgeting for the year.

While the abandonment or postponement of Keystone is bad long-term policy, it has nothing to do with short-term price dynamics we're witnessing at the moment.

Until drilling rig counts begin climbing substantially and oil from newly drilled wells starts flowing, gasoline prices will remain high. I think in 2022, especially by summer, we'll begin to see some improvement in prices at the pump. We will see more drilling activity next year now that crude oil has consistently held north of $60 per bbl. Lenders will begin using more generous pricing assumptions when sizing line of credit limits.

The Afghanistan withdrawal clusterfuck is COMPLETELY on Biden. Trump planned to withdraw, but we never got to see his plan to fruition because of mean tweets.

I have no idea if the Trump withdrawal plan would have been any better, but I completely agree that Biden is mishandling
Afghanistan.

To my surprise, the mainstream media have actually been doing a really good job reporting on the Afghani risks that Biden's ill-conceived policies are inducing.

-Inflation? Through the roof.

Handing out free money with stagnant to declining GDP will do that. Supply chain issues (semi conductors) that affect high-priced goods will also do that.

Not sure how we can blame that exclusively on Biden...yet. Many of the handouts became law when Trump was President, and he publicly supported many of them. In fact, during the campaign, Trump chastised Congressional Republicans for not supporting larger stimulus payouts in legislation that was pending at the time.

The Biden "Presidency" reminds me of Season 1 Episode 10 of "Freaks and Geeks" where the Gym Teacher, Mr. Fredericks, gets a prank call from one of the Geeks. He then allows the Geeks to pick the teams for Softball. Of course, the Geeks, normally picked last, picked all their friends for their team, and the Jocks were all on the other team. Of course, it was a disaster for the Geeks.

I was never a fan of "Freaks and Geeks", and neither was the ex Principal of the Suburban Detroit school the creator of the series based it on, but this part of the episode was very poignant when the lessons are applied to Politics and the current regime.

The Left are the Political Geeks, with all their Marxist Theories that don't work, in charge of picking all their friends as their team, and of course the result is a disaster. The disaster which is the "Biden" Administration.

By any reasonably objective measure, the Biden presidency is not only a disaster, but a disaster of epic proportions. Can any of his defenders point to one thing that is better now than it was the day he took office?

At some point you have to concede that this is not simply incompetence, but a deliberate attempt by Marxists and "New World Order" (for lack of a better term) types to bring down the United States of America to the low level of the rest of the world. All things considered, it's undeniable.

Marxists can't bring up the conditions of the rest of the world, so they settle for bringing down the USA to the lowest common denominator level of the world.

But the USA Economy drives the Economy of the rest of the world, and without their robust economy, the rest of the world's economy will fail. And without the USA buying Chinese products, they will never to be able to achieve the level of dominance they seek with a Communist government.

We're still in a pandemic and he's only been in office seven months, bmw.

He's certainly off to a rough start, and I disagree with him on most policy positions, but to call his Presidency "a disaster" is premature, in my opinion.

Personal debt to income ratios are in unusually good shape, new employment in June was strong, and home real estate prices have appreciated mightily, although I will say the latter of those things is largely driven by escalating new construction costs coupled with extraordinarily low mortgage rates that have persisted now for over a year.

Someone needs to tell Joe that spending two trillion dollars in half a year is very very bad and not spending a trillion dollars over a 20 year period.

[MWmetalhead]

I am indeed steadfastly opposed to the $3.5 trillion pork bonanza Biden supports.
