The fact that he lied us into two expen$ive, prolonged, and ultimately counterproductive wars?

That his admin and party had the so-called Patriot Act suspiciously written before 911?
That he was a meat puppet of Zionist neocons like Bolton, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Feith, and Perle?
That he "renditioned" and tortured "enemy combatants", breaking the normal laws of war?
That he failed New Orleans after Katrina?
Or something else?
All of the above. For sure. That and the fact that Obama's administration did nothing to reign in any of those new government powers; doing the exact opposite and expanding every one of them, actually. Exactly like I told everybody was going to happen when Obama was voted in. (And ever since I've watched all the people I used to agree with in the Democrat party slowly morph into the pro-war NeoCons they claimed to hate 20 years ago).
While we're at it, let's add GWB's two bullshit campaign promises he made before reelection. (Thank god they were just lies to get reelected and nobody followed through with either of them).
1. Banning gay marriage.
You can find quotes all over these boards at the time regarding my feelings on that one. I believe at least a dozen times I used words similar to "all that would do is end up being repealed by the next Democrat administration, requiring yet another amendment to remove just like when they ended the prohibition on alcohol, leaving another scar on our Constitution and further de-legitimatizing the most important document ever written in human history". Yanno... the Document that GWB infamously referred to as "That Goddamned Piece of Paper".
2. Giving individuals complete control over how they handle their Social Security money.
Yeah... Great fucking idea, George. Give every dumb low-info asshole in the country the ability to gamble their safety net away in the highly manipulated US stock market who's sole purpose is to ultimately make everybody outside of the 1% broke. Now we're going to need a 2nd taxpayer funded safety net system to catch all the dumb assholes who played roulette with the safety net they paid into all their lives.
Why don't we just allow every know-nothing 16 year old who's never paid a bill a one-time option without the need for parental consent to make the decision to opt out of Social Security for the rest of their lives while we're at it? We can sit back and watch 90% of them grow old and have nothing saved up in retirement. Then we'll just force the responsible taxpayers and their children and grandchildren to pay for their mistakes, just like we already do with literally everything else.
Everything about that man was either pure incompetence or pure evil. And don't even get me started on the demon that he made his VP and anyone in politics sharing that surname.

What did he accomplish
1
Joe Biden got out of Afghanistan, yes it was terrible but its an accomplishment, it looked very very bad, it was a mess and chaos and death but he got out and that area of endless war, a spending on a war that seemed without end is over ... I think it was SixString who recommended 'The Forever War' it is a book by American author Joe Haldeman, it might be one of the more important scifi books I have not read...I hear there is possibly a lesson in this book, at the time it was a Vietnam analogy but later men going to War in Afghanistan going home having a family and their children fighting the same war...as terrible as what Joe Biden seen when he pulled out at least the War has Ended.
2
Joe Biden shows us how important Walls are and he has not kissed the ass of Israeli Jew warmongering Zionists as much as previous Evangelical Republicans have done and that is maybe a good thing...he has however given some vague support to those other religion nuts, the islamo crap headed jihadi political groups, why must the USA either kiss the ass of Saudi-Palestine-Islamo-Iran bloc or kiss the ass of Saudi-EU-Israel? is there no Party who will speak for the USA instead?
I wrote in another thread Netanyahu helps create Anti-American terrorists...the thread is buried somewhere, THGRRI or is it Thg was accused of bumping over 100 of his / her own threads...but its there that chat, the discussion of how Israel stupidity indirectly helps recruit Anti-American islamics is around somewhere.
Joe Biden did not give Zionist neocons like Bolton positions of power.
Hidden Truths? Joe Biden also began to Declassifying more of the 9/11 or UFO material now called 'UAP'? and that is a positive.
America First? Joe exposed how it is needed to support the USA first. Is there nobody who will actually go 'America First' also invest in transport infrastructure and Thorium powered Train grids?...maybe in Asia??
Joe he went crazy reversing Trump's border policy and stopped the Wall and open the Mexican traffickers and drug runners and opened borders to invaders...by doing so he exposed how stupidly Partisan the USA is, it needs a Third choice and a Third Party more than ever.
Don't be manipulated by foreign elite groups.
Control your border!
invest at home!
If anything Joe has show everyone in the world how important in can be to control your borders, not to be controlled by foreign religion powers and Joe through his stupidity has show maybe how important a Third Choice could be.

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden through their idiocy and stumbling and bumbling exposed the Hive Mind, the Marxist Mob and 'BigTech' censoring people who question the Booster Shots, banning people who question the election results, banning anyone and censoring the net of people who speak good about Trump, through their words and mad talking heads in media almost sending out Mobs to attack people in cities...they have show us the USA can loose its freedom just like any other nation to a group of Brown Shirts or Blue Shirts or Red Shirts, Democrats can be no different to Neocons and 1984 and Marxism is very close.
4
Joe Biden has made friends in Canada and Europe, ok they are kind crap friends at times but there's a War in Eastern Europe and that 'Trade War' stuff is over and Trump had limited success with his decouple from the world and his Trade War ideas, even though Joe has been poor at leadership at times and confused with economics he also had success and strengthened the NATO alliance, Japan will defend itself against Russia etc. Joe Biden also has good relations with Japan, Greece, South Korea...but I think Trump also got along well with these countries, Joe didn't make things any worse when it came to trade wars and allies...so maybe that is successful?
5
Joe Biden messing up the teleprompter lines has exposed something behind the curtain, we are not sure who or what group is the puppet master 'The Deep State' maybe...its possible Joe Biden had senile dementia

Oh right... What did Joe Biden* INDIRECTLY do for our country.
He fucked up the economy so bad that all the Venture Capital dried up completely. This lead to all the DEI departments and major corporations being disbanded with all the employees being laid off. Many movie/tv and video game critics lost their jobs. Movies, TV shows and video games have increased substantially in quality over the last year. Pride Month is essentially dead. The list goes on and on...
None of that would have been possible had Trump won a 2nd term and the economy wasn't a dumpster fire.
Thanks Joe*!

I wasn't aware that this was happening in real time while I was writing about it.
FORBES (Aug 2, 2024,12:30pm EDT): GameStop Shuts Down Game Informer, All Staff Laid Off As An Era Ends
Quote:
Game Informer has just published a message revealing that it has been shut down by its parent company GameStop, the video game store turned meme stock.
In the message, Game Informer thanks its readers over its 33 years of existence, and I count myself among them. The message reads as follows:
“After 33 thrilling years of bringing you the latest news, reviews, and insights from the ever-evolving world of gaming, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Game Informer.
From the early days of pixelated adventures to today’s immersive virtual realms, we’ve been honored to share this incredible journey with you, our loyal readers. While our presses may stop, the passion for gaming that we’ve cultivated together will continue to live on.
The announcement was followed by the confirmation that yes, everyone at Game Informer has been laid off as of about noon today, with some staff not even aware of the news yet if they haven’t checked social media. Content Director Kyle Hilliard says they were 70% done with the next issue. As of now, GameStop itself has not publicly commented on the shutdown.
The writing may have been on the wall for quite some time as Game Informer kept cutting staff down to the bone, forcing perilously few people to produce a magazine and online content to compete with larger outlets. Currently, games media is some rough combination of:
Giant conglomerates like Ziff Davis/Gamurs scooping up loads of major and minor sites to try and better eat internet traffic.
Sites shutting down altogether.
A lucky few doing paid newsletters or sites independently.
Large mainstream outlets (like me) with a gaming section.
In short, it’s tough out there.
Game Informer was unique as a physical magazine, one sold through GameStop itself. GameStop has gone through bizarre transformations in the last years as it tries to survive as a physical game store in the digital world, which involves fewer games on the shelves and a lot more hardware and toys. Now, famously, GME has been the subject of meme stock legend, swinging wildly around since 2021 as amateur investors tried to get rich from it (and some did). I doubt today’s closure of Game Informer even registers there.
Some of my earliest gaming memories are of reading Game Informer alongside whatever I was playing at the time, and over time, the editors began to feel like friends I knew. It was bizarre twenty years later when I was able to start chatting with a few of them online, now in the industry myself. It remains my fondest memory of any form of gaming journalism, and those who were left deserved better than what GameStop had given them these last years. It will be missed, deeply.
Yeah... Whatever, fruit.
I was buying Game Informer at WalMart when you were still shitting your diapers.
Back then it was a great magazine. It started falling to shit with all you woketards and DEI hires ruining it around the time Obama got reelected.
Maybe if your idiot friends actuall

So how about this?
You tell me, without demonizing, where you think Republicans have succeeded, and where they failed, and why. And same for Democrats.
So you are really asking about Trump and Biden, it seems.
Biden:
The casual observer would point out that, due to Bidenflation, 2024 showed the record high prices for Gold in May or April. (I have not confirmed this). Same for Stock Market - even though the Dow is only worth about 35K in Trump-era dollars, in Biden Bucks it counts up over 40K. This sorta ignores the negative effects of Bidenflation.
Otherwise, every achievement that Biden has accrued has been a monumental success, depending upon your viewpoint.
The primary goals of President "My Boss" Obama, the other Democraps, Libtards, as well as Lord Darth Obiden, have been to destroy America, shred the Constitution - so everything Biden has done has been a rousing success. Including all of the wars that Obama has worked so hard on. Gifting $Billion of high-tech military hardware and weapons to Afghanistan, ISIL, Syria, Iran. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthies, Lebanon, is merely one good example. Exiting Afghanistan without planning was horrible for America and the world, but great for Team My Boss.
Republicans:
I will start with the largest failure in American history, the Ending of Constitutional America.
Abdicator-in-Chief Mike Pence refuse to perform his Constitutional Duties and Responsibilities on January 6th. 240 years of following The Constitution even in the same circumstances many times before, went up in smoke when he was too confused to read The Constitution and perform his duties. Perhaps worse, he still has not a clue that what he did was Unconstitutional, or that he was outright wrong.
Trump
Failures. Reduce the Debt. Balance the Federal Budget, make a Surplus Federal Budget. Sure, he gave these topics lip service when campaigning, but I never voted for him because these were my key issues, and having seen him on TV shows, I conjured he was not serious, and would only use these as bargaining chips to be traded for the subjects he cared about more. I am so smart.
Drain The Swamp. This does include ordering the withdrawal of troops, which caused Obamabot ISIL/Afghan Envoy McGurk to resign in protest - then his replacement Jim Jeffrey just ignored the orders to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan, just lying to anybody who asked. Reducing troops from about 45,000 to 3,000 was not enough.
Keystone Pipeline. Didn't push it hard enough to get it done.
Border Wall. Wasn't completed.
Ejecting Deep State.
Fauci. And his Lockdowns.
Success. Exposing the obviousness of Fake News. Fake Politicians.
Energy Prices
Economy
Stock market
Unemployment
Warp Speed provided CHOICES for those who wanted to be Vaxxed - Trump have nothing to do with FORCED JABS, that was the next clown.
Less Wars, ending of many, Peace breaking out all over.
Tax Cuts producing record-breaking Revenue
Appointing Constitutional Justices to SCOTUS
Lowest Illegal Aliens
Worldwide belligerant behaving

When I made my post, in a hurry, I failed to explain that I might assume the points would be obvious enough, and the items which were not could be pointed out for expansion.
Sigs was able to accurately understand and accept my meaning, implied by it's absence.

Short answer: Libtards and Democraps yearn for inflation of 20%, 50%, as high as they can go. I would prefer -0-, or deflation even. A common compromise is 1-2% goal. Because of the math regarding averaging sky-high and negative figures, I can accept 1-2% as a compromise goal.
