He's got major challenges with the opposition (apparently) deciding to block anything from the Democrats as they did under Obama for position rather than legislative efforts to help the country.
And I like the calmness that he brings to the office after 4 years of histrionics that did not serve us well.

A “credible job”? Biden missed, and continues to miss, his own, admittedly low, vaccination percentage of 70%. Only 49% of the country is fully vaccinated and it’s not just rubes. People of color are staying away from the vax in droves- probably because Harris said last year that she wouldn’t take a vaccine developed under Trump. Biden cast doubts on it too. In fact Biden campaigned on the statement that he would “Shut down the virus”. Welp. He’s done zero and now they are trying to impose mask mandates again. What is so damn credible?
Inflation, shortages, paying people not to work, a border that is a sieve- with, hmmmmm, 50,000 non vaxxed illegal immigrants allowed in then bussed to who knows where so they aren’t in “cages”.
Don’t even get me started on this Critical Race Theory grift.
Biden campaigned as a unifier. All he has done is divide and living off division and a friendly non-questioning media.
That is not credible and the “histrionics” of the previous four years can be attributed to Adam Schiff & Pelosi. Impeachments over nothing. Meanwhile Hunter’s bankroll is fattened by China

I prefer that approach, supporting it when he can by words and actions, than trying to project he is somehow more knowledgeable than the experts.

Biden allowed the National Association of Teachers to basically write the CDC recommendation on student attendance and masking. Teachers are not science experts. Those recommendations are not based on “Science” . And they got called on it.
Biden is being led by a bunch of agenda driven progressives. He barely knows what day it is. This is not leadership.

Still at 55% approval. How's drumpf doing?

In fairness, we’re only at 56% fully vaccinated. Please don’t contact Polis. It’s better if he does nothing. :)

There could have been a joint Senate committee with equal powers of subpoena, etc.
But Republicans didn't want it. So, they get a House Select Committee.
Whatever happens I hope we don't forget this assault on our democracy, and that reasonable people prevail to prevent it from happening again.

I know. I can’t believe nothing was done about the assault on the WH in 2020 (50 Secret Service agents injured). Oh, you were talking about something different?

Those people have been/are in jail or are awaiting trial.

Trump is not the President anymore, but at least you can admit that Biden and Trump are similar that way. You're getting there, bud.

Yes. If you are talking to the press all day, every day, it's inevitable. Never said one was worse than the other.
