Today In Biden Land

[TitoFan]

Gotta say I got a letter from the IRS today. Got freaked out a bit, I just figured I did something wrong reporting crypto and they were coming to arrest me. So I opened it up and it was a letter from president Biden telling me he put money in my account for the stimulus thingy. Didn’t people freak out and say “how dare” when the last president did that? I don’t give a shit either way tbh. I am giving a portion of my stimulus to a homeless shelter and a food bank. Selective outrage again, maybe Joe wrote it nicer than whoever the president was that created the uproar sending out the other checks. At least Biden isn’t a racist. As long as you don’t dig into his history and listen to a few of his speeches in the senate. But people don’t do that anyway, it’s obvious Joey has not a racist bone in his body. I’m putting the rest of my stimulus on that special olympics dude running up the stairs

I must've missed all the uproar about who did what or put whose name on whatever checks.

Silly me... I tend to get distracted by more trivial matters like inciting violence on the Capitol and spreading bogus election steal rumors.

BTW... good on you for putting your stimulus check to humanitarian use. Mother Theresa would be ever so jealous.

And cute with the mother Theresa comment good one. You should add Florence your buddy Beanerschnitz. He liked that one but for whatever it’s worth I’ll tell you my thoughts on that. I hear quite often, and I include myself in this, why doesn’t the government do something about this and then all the BS talk starts about which party snd how much money etc. it’s seems to be a regular thing which I am guilty of myself. And so easy to point and say what is wrong with what. One day I asked someone I was having that type of conversation with what they themselves do to help the situation. They said, “I pay my taxes it’s not my job.” Then i posed the question to myself and honestly I wasn’t doing much either. Unfortunately I can’t be a professional philanthropist but I could do much more than I was. After working at a homeless shelter I saw how much they can do with a fifty dollar donation. Quite frequently I’d be working by myself, someone would buzz the front door and drop off 10,20,50 bucks or a pack of socks or a pound of coffee. I thought it was really cool and I felt kinda bad I didn’t take the time to do do stuff like that. Maybe the answer to some of these problems are simpler than we think. What if everyone in town who could dropped off 5 bucks a month? I mean you don’t have to give a lot. Those small donations were much more consistent than the big checks. So yeah I changed a few things so I could do a little more rather than just bitch about things. I wish I could say I give a lot but that would be a lie. That shelter is now redoing three floors that they have been unable to do because of asbestos. I wish I could write a check cover the whole thing. That is actually housing for forty people if my math is correct. So yeah my wife and I have a side gig selling stuff online. We picked a percentage to donate every month and if we end up with a little extra from trading or in this case joe joe Biden’s stimulus wtf, add some more. I have a feeling we the people can make a much bigger difference if we do a little something about all the shit we bitch about. Volunteer work to which I’ve done, sometimes a few hours put in is more needed than money. That gets difficult managing time but it’s not impossible. It’s not about being mother Theresa, people who are willing to dismiss their lives for others don’t come around that often. It’s just doing at least a little something, but with all the racists around it doesn’t happen much.

General Question: What are your biggest criticisms of Biden so far?

Disclaimer: The above question is aimed mostly at non-Trumpers, who will steer away from answers such as "Biden is a waste of oxygen", or the now en vogue (by one Trumper) "Biden is the best POTUS ever."... and land somewhere in the middle.


To me, I'd mention the following areas:

1. The southern border. Whatever Trump was doing... wasn't working. What Biden is doing is working even less. It's obvious we haven't had an effective, workable solution to the migrant problem at the border. 'Nough said.

2. LGBTQ. In a rush to bend over backwards (excuse the pun) for this high-pressure group... Biden's risking pissing off the rest of mainstream society which... at last count... still makes up the vast majority of the voting public.

3. In short... Biden seems to be catering/caving to the extremists, and disappointing the moderates who voted for him. Not a good move, IMO.

[walrus]

He’s only been in 100 days. He acted to quickly changing the border stuff but what the hec I’m still hoping he does well. I’m not going to rip him apart at day 100. Sure there are somethings he’s doing I don’t care for but so what. I’m wondering if some of his tax plans are just bad timing with the economy trying to bounce back, raising the capital gains on the higher earners will have an impact on 401k and middle class investors but it’s not like there is anything solid yet. I’ll reserve my judgement it doesn’t really matter much anyway although it gets some people upset. We are all just writing words from thoughts or observations. No one has the market cornered in those that I know of. All we are saying, is give Joe a chance.

[Spicoli]

I love boring Government. Trying to take notes on this address tonight but I need a drink. And yes..he'll flub . Oh and yes the talk of 6 trillion anything makes me wince.

[palmerq]

He still hasn't announced the burger limit yet.... I am disapoint

I'm not listening but I'm guessing six trillion is over ten years. These numbers are normally expressed that way. To put it in perspective the projected GDP over the next ten years is three hundred trillion.

Cutting the corporate tax rate by a third had absolutely fuck all effect when Trump did it a few years ago other than to send corporate profits skyrocketing. Trump cutting the top rate of tax likewise had no effect on economic growth. Why would raising the top rate back where it was have any effect on economic growth?

Capital gains tax is being increased on people making a million dollars a year. How will this affect 401ks and middle class investors exactly?

Off fuck I almost could you rushing to respond to a couple passing thoughts. New you would not be able to resist. We don’t know what the hell he is going to do yet, I mentioned it could be a concern didn’t say shit will fall to hell as we have nothing solid pass yet. I had your response almost down perfect, did you hurt a finger typing that, get a little excited. It’s been 100 days dude I want to give him a chance that was the main point. You got some serious shit going on in your head.

The border thing is going to be an ongoing problem. He hasn't done himself any favours but this current wave was building by the month long before he took office and is going to increase as the pandemic subsides. What has he done with the LBTwhateveritis that you don't think is good?

Fair question. I think a POTUS can champion the rights of LGBTQXYZ not to be discriminated against. Particularly in issues such as jobs, salaries, health, etc. But bending over backward to force changes to centuries-old elementary school children education... or allow trans "female" athletes to compete in women's sports... (to name a couple)... is just wrong. It takes a bit of testicular fortitude to stand up to a special interest group, especially one as powerful and stubborn as the LGBTQXYZ group, and attempt to do what is right for mainstream society. After all, that's where he still gets most of his votes from. I'm heartened by the fact that many States are fighting back... but Biden's four years promise to be hell in that particular arena.

As far as I know the federal government don't have any say in what the states teach in their classrooms. I think any alphabet stuff is down to the individual states. The feds just don't allow any minority to be discriminated against. That would have been the same under Trump too no?

And the transgender sports stuff. Turns out even Trumpy GOP governors have reasons to block bans on it even to the point of angering the herrenvolk:

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021...-ban-veto.html


So long as Biden stays doing stuff which has broad popular support like preventing discrimination against various groups then he's not going to take too much damage from this. The GOP are stuck with mining little seams of issues like the women's sports thing which has limited appeal outside of their base.
