Assuming he wins, Lets keep a running tag of the Good the Bad & the Ugly.
I'd bet a lot of money he doesn't last into 2022 so this should probably be a Kamala thread too.

Biden will be president until 2024 unless he dies or is officially diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He will just be a figurehead president that will be told what to think do and say by his staff and cabinet leaders. I really do not think Kamala will hold that much power either. She is an empty suit that nobody likes and was nothing more than fulfilling a promise of having a VP who would have a certain skin pigmentation and genitalia.

When we know who holds the key cabinet positions, then we will know who the real president is.

Dammit Jim! I really like you.

President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order within his first days of office forbidding Executive Branch appointees from lobbying for five years after employment in the Administration. The Order also forbids former registered lobbyists now working in the White House from participating in areas they had previously lobbied on for a period of two years.

Despite this directive, these men and women made their way through the revolving door and were either previously lobbyists and now work in the Trump Administration or were previously in the Administration and work as lobbyists.

I bet Biden's cabinet is Goldman Sachs , just like Obama's

Amazing double standard.

My post was in response to Rifle. Sorry for the confusion. If there is a double standard it is Rifle bemoaning the 40 lobbyist in Bidens admin while ignoring the 100+ in Trumps. I dont understand why our current president passed an executive order against such thing then did it.


I think I should wait for Rifle to explain why he posted such a tweet.

Fortunately Joe Biden is protected by Democrat privilege, so it won't be a problem for him.

Middle class gets screwed over and over because of how bloated our bureaucracy has gotten.

Schools, fire departments, police, etc are easily paid for. The rest of our tax dollars are wasted and irresponsibly spent by Federal entities that have no accountability and see themselves as superior.

Same, but what I'm not ok with is the feds and state government getting things done 10x slower at 10x the cost of the private sector...and getting worse every year.

Sick and tired of highways taking over a decade to complete

Tired of calling the Texas RRC and some idiot out of college has no idea what he's talking about but has the power to fine the company I work for.

There is something wrong with software, dominion etc, it changed votes from Trump to Biden, keep watching TV, there is proof. Sydney Powell has proof or so she says. She says she will release the Cracken.

Long as the Senate stays the course, this will all work out.

Those jackasses really are way past due on Corona relief efforts though.

Lot's of folks on the brink, those idiots don't even realize or care or both.

You have been living on Mars the last 4 yrs if you haven't figured out how biased and evil the liberal media is.

Predictably the media who never pushed Biden or asked him any tough questions or complained about access is now giddy about his cabinet. Trump and his cabinet were Nazis - Biden's = Avengers. Can't make this up.

This is how we got to Russia Collusion and the corrupt deep state - no accountability and it will be worse by the end of the next 4 years knowing how many social media Executives are joining his team.

It's amazing really how vast and deep the swamp is.
