Seeing Biden visit Ukraine recently reminded me that he is POTUS. That can't be a good thing for his legacy two years in. Has he actually done anything so far, good or bad?
We get very mixed coverage of US politics in the UK. There's been four presidents during my era of watching the news:
GWB: beyond 9/11 coverage (not insignificant obviously), the UK media was focussed on making him out to be dumb.
BO: UK media loved him. Lot of coverage of him being charming, suave, delivering speeches. Couldn't put a foot wrong no matter what, but he must have messed up sometimes.
DT: constant controversy and portrayed as an egotistical, thick, bigoted idiot.
JB: I couldn't tell you anything about him or the past two years. It's rare to hear his name or see his face in the UK news.
Is it the same coverage elsewhere in the world? Much of this is probably justified given their personalities, but I'd like to know more about what's going on and their policies, rather than the distractions around their personalities.
He was the cool uncle who made the weed less illegal.
He pulled the US out of Afghanistan.
Recently, there was legislation that helped US veterans who were exposed to toxic shizwaz in the course of their military service 'cause apparently environmental laws don't count if you're in someone else's country or smth.
Of course, you mentioned his pushing support of Ukraine and budget bills to that end.
Other than that, it's more boring domestic stuff he's focused on. Like, he's pushed a lot of legislation that focused on reducing student debt, expanding healthcare, funding for infrastructure... stuff that needs doing, but isn't altogether sexxy in the press.
The only thing surprising about this is that here in the year 2023 we're only now talking about USA having a national gun.Quote:

I mean... I don't hear about him lately other than the occasional back-references to the clowning he was up to during the Trump administration.
A bunch of law suits are coming down against many of Trump's cronies, including his legal team. IDK if that has anything to do with Rudy's lack of media presence, though.

Classic Rudy.
I wonder where wufwugy is in all this. IIRC he went pretty hard into Trumpland, a la Scott Adams, then disappeared.
I feel like overall the spell is kind of breaking, but people over committed and it's hard to walk it back. Like when exactly do you take down the Trump flag and peel off the Trump bumper sticker?
wuf went anti-Trump before he left. Not full on I-Hate-Trump but he lost his boner for him.
Ah, I kinda remember that now that you mention it. That's good. I feel a lot more hopeful about where he is and what he's up to now.Quote:

Classic Trump.
