***Official President Joe Biden Thread*** BEST EVER! (2 Viewers)

We have an event coming up, Daylight Savings rollback, that kills a number of Americans every year.  We have bipartisan support for allowing a move to DST all the time (which would be awesome).  But we can't seem to get even simple stuff like this through.  Pitiful.

Yes.

I looked into this fairly recently.    Maria Cantwell from Washington is the chair of the committee that oversees the Department of Transportation, which is in charge of US time zones and time laws.   This committee seems to be the bottleneck.  There were bipartisan bills introduced in 2020 and 2021 to make DST permanent.   

You can email her here.

I’m talking about the debt ceiling specifically here.  

As to spending, they are all drunken sailors.  Whether the economy is bad when they come into office (Obama), or whether it is humming (Trump).  

 
Psaki was asked about Hunter Biden at todays presser,  she closed her book and bolted off. Psaki looks like she has about had it as well.  Growing more testy by the day.

Must be a hot button topic.

I would have stormed off too after such a stupid question. Nobody but the Fox News crowd cares a whit about Hunter Biden or his laptop.

 I asked you what you thought of the Gallup pole out today but you did not respond..  Down across the board but down almost 20 points from the Independent swing voters.

USA TODAY:WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden's job approval rating has hit a new low eight months into his term, according to a report released Wednesday by analytics firm Gallup.

The president's approval rating fell another six percentage points from August to 43% — the lowest of his presidency, as tallied by Gallup — amid the withdrawal of the U.S. military and the evacuation of over 122,000 people from Afghanistan. Thirteen service members died in a suicide bombing at the airport in Kabul, marking the last casualties of a 20-year conflict.

A majority, 53%, disapprove of Biden's performance for the first time, according to the report.

Opinions of his performance declined the most among Independents within the past three months. Among this group, only 37% approve of how Biden is managing the country, down from 55% in June.

So the previous administration increasing the national debt by $7.8 trillion...conservatives strongly opposed them, right?

If all you got is a snide remark that has no connection to the items I listed in the answer to the question, then I will assume you have no criticism of the core values I listed. 

I would suggest if you want to discuss spending trillions of dollar, check with the Democrats. They are in the process of increasing the national debt more in 9 months than the previous 12 years combined.

If you truly believe that then you obviously aren't honestly looking at the information out there. Why must you guys be so adamant towards dying on your hills? Would it kill you to commit an act of common sense and say, "yeah, Hunter Biden. It is pretty obvious this guy didn't get anywhere in life off his own merit and, yeah, it's pretty obvious that his father had some level of influence in this which would be a huge conflict of interest to national security and interests, given his position."

 
Five House Republicans have now come out in support of the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

It will be quite sad if Biden is so ineffectual that he can't use the power of his office to get AOC, Paypal and the rest of the House socialistas to fall in line for a Sep 27 vote.

This bill needs to pass. Then climate change through reconciliation. Dump all the social welfare stuff.

Wrong and wrong. IF you watched it at all before commenting on it, you would see she clearly had said "thanks guys" and was leaving before the question was asked. Think what you will. Some would stop and acknowledge the question.  Others, like her boss, would shuffle off and ignore it completely. But either way, she didn't storm off after the question.

And what you call "stupid" is actually very much a topic of interest among a lot of people around the country, regardless of political alliance. Why? Because it is potentially extremely important to the integrity of our nation. But if you personally find it stupid and don't "care a whit" about it because you don't care to acknowledge or defend it, at least do us the courtesy of allow the rest of us discuss it in peace.

Good to see, the obstruction party never would have done this. If this fails then Biden is somehow less effective than he has already shown.

There seems to be a large number of democrats that have said they would rather have nothing than something if they can't get the 'human infrastructure' bill passed as well.  When pressed by some media, they see, to be at a loss of actually explaining why they would take this stance; opting instead to push out word salads that attempt to blame others because they will NOT support the 3.5 T bill.

It is truly baffling.

The amount of irony in this is breathtaking but I bet there won't be an inkling of call for Biden to produce information for the American people the way they hunted Trump over his taxes.

Irony? Hasn't Biden released all his tax returns? What is left to produce? If Biden owes anything more, then he should pay it.

Lol.   Shred of proof.   You just don't want to see.    So you stick to your belief.     Good luck with that.    As they say in Ann Arbor.  "Go Blue"

Irony of ironies. The same crowd that required ZERO evidence to believe all allegations against Trump, Kavanaugh and pretty much anyone in the GOP is suddenly demanding evidence and mocking people?

And the same guy who apparently copied and pasted anything anti-Trump from Twitter 24/7 as it if it were FACT to boot?

Wut?  :lol:

You can't make this #### up.   Wow.

It's the irony of him using the same tax loopholes that the rich do when he scolds them for not paying their fair share.

Just a smart businessman right?

THough, so far all the reporting is based on what a Republican claims is in this report, correct?

Biden could owe as much as $500K in back taxes, government report indicates

not a CPA but do have an S corp. with me as president.  My corp. pays me a salary just like Jo'e's corp. pays him. The salary is subject to unemployment taxes, etc.   I had a problem with the IRS saying my salary should be more & I agreed and raised it, thus more taxes paid.  It wasn't fraud, just a disagreement on what was fair compensation for me being president.  this is the pickle Joe is in & it really is not that big a deal.  this is a very small sliver of the massive woodpile of disasters Biden is responsible for.

right - leave it alone, its set for a reason .... the reason is to not eclipse it and spend more than they're allowed

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/23/what-is-the-debt-ceiling.html

Without congressional permission to continue taking out debt — which is necessary because the government spends more money than it takes in via taxes — the Treasury can’t continue to fund its obligations.

and there is the core problem that needs addressed

Both parties overspend but the only time they complain is when the opposing party holds the White House. 

McConnell didn't have any problems voting to raise the debt ceiling when Trump was in office.  To allow the federal government to default is a bad way to make a point, especially when the guy doesn't really care about deficit spending in the first place

both parties yes, Democrats vastly more

look at the Obama years - spending went absolutely insane - Trump kept pace but didn't really add and Biden? they're spending 2-4 trillion clips in the first 9 months :(
