After that LONG run up to the selection of the Democratic choice for the Presidency, this is the BEST the US came up with after ALL that time? The choices in 2020 were ALMOST as bad as in 2016. The longer this craziness goes on, the better Hillary looks vs. Biden.
1) Biden has nothing to do with settling court cases with illegal immigrant who suffered grievances due to illegal/bad faith policies of his predecessor.
9) Even though he's done f*ck all and is receiving a beating from the 'mainstream media' that right wing cucks believe is conspiring in his favor, Biden still manages a higher approval rating that Trump did at this point in his presidency 35% or less (it's generally a low point in most presidencies, though Trump presidency is the biggest shit show we've seen in generations so his records are unlikely to be broken anytime soon)
I'll be honest though Saxi, it is starting to look like Newsome has something big that is happening/hiding after that booster shot.
As regards to #1 by Mookie, The US Justice Department is part of the Executive Branch, under the leadership of President Biden.
WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-administration-in-talks-to-pay-hundreds-of-millions-to-immigrant-families-separated-at-border-11635447591Senior White House adviser Cedric Richmond said Sunday that whether immigrant families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border receive monetary settlements — and how much — will be up to the Justice Department to decide.
In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Richmond also blasted the argument that government payments to families separated under the Trump administration's zero-tolerance policy could incentivize more people to illegally cross the southern border.
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/07/payments-families-border-richmond-520027It is lack of Logical Reasoning like this that has contributed to the problem and worsened the problem NOW. There is a perception among those at and headed to the USA Southern Border that the Biden Administration is more open and friendly to illegal aliens entering the USA versus its predecessors. Just ask Kamala.
WASHINGTON — Thousands of migrant parents and children separated from each other at the U.S. border by Trump administration policies may soon be eligible for hundreds of thousands of dollars per person in compensation, according to three sources familiar with ongoing negotiations in a lawsuit brought on behalf of separated families.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Thursday that the Biden administration is in talks to offer separated migrant parents and children around $450,000 per person. That would mean that if a parent and a child were separated at the border, together they would be eligible for a combined payment of $900,000.
The talks are part of negotiations between the Justice Department and lawyers representing the separated families in a number of tort cases that have claimed the families experienced harm when they were forcibly separated.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-admin-may-pay-millions-migrant-families-separated-border-under-n1282670As I have posted elsewhere in this Forum, President Trump has angered too many people because of actions, policies, words, tweets, and more to be electable. That is true no matter how many attend his rallies. That is true no matter what saxi posts or what saxi believes. That is true whether the election in 2020 had voter fraud or not. Trump has angered too many independent voters, those who do not vote by the Party in most or all elections.
As to #9, even if President Biden's ratings are higher that President Trump's does not mean his policies or actions will benefit the USA. This is especially true with regards to the economy and to the immigration issue. And remember, "it's the economy, stupid."
“It’s the economy, stupid” was a phrase coined by James Carville in 1992, when he was advising Bill Clinton in his successful run for the White House.
In 1992, the US was experiencing an economic recession and the incumbent president, George HW Bush, was perceived as out of touch with the needs of ordinary Americans. Carville told campaign staffers to hammer on the importance of the economy at every chance they got – he even went so far as to hang a sign in campaign headquarters reading, in part, “the economy, stupid.”
The phrase became a mantra for the Clinton campaign. Since then, it’s turned into a catchphrase which pops up whenever analysts are discussing an upcoming election. The phrase has endless possible variations; it could be “it’s the schools, stupid,” or “it’s the environment, stupid,” or almost anything else. The slogan serves to highlight one key issue and to make it the central focus of a campaign.
https://politicaldictionary.com/words/its-the-economy-stupid/Do you have any more insights into Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, Mookie?
SACRAMENTO — For the past two weeks, Gov. Gavin Newsom did something that’s very out of character: He stayed out of the public eye.
Declining to offer a detailed reason for his absence until he reappeared Tuesday, one of the first politicians to harness the power of social media to connect with voters seemingly forgot how quickly a dearth of information can give birth to misinformation in the Twittersphere.
By the time Newsom explained that he had simply kept a low profile both in the office and at home, taking time to watch his children play soccer after a grueling recall campaign and 20-month battle leading the fight against COVID-19 in California, anti-vaccine activists had spread rumors on social media that the Democratic governor experienced an adverse reaction to a booster shot he received at a news conference on Oct. 27.
