These wall-of-text dumps of “accomplishments” exist entirely for supporters to point to in order to refute the idea that “Biden’s done nothing in office.” The fact that it’s a list of actions instead of meaningful results is completely irrelevant.

And since refuting drivel like this takes much more effort than it took to create it, it goes uncorrected and people go on believing it

Thus begins again the cycle where Democrats say, “It’s not that we didn’t do enough, it’s that you are all too stupid to notice how much we actually did.”

So much of this is just “I signed the papers they put in front of me” or “my underlings did something but technically I gave the order” or “I’m gonna do it, trust me bro”. I wish I had the confidence to make such mountains out of molehills

Also LMAO

Withdrawing from Afghanistan is the only thing that was directly Biden himself. He watched the generals string along Obama for 8 years and he was also the only one against the surge in 2009 and Biden generally is resentful towards the staff of Obamaworld not taking him seriously and patronizing him and viewing Hillary as Obama’s successor, so being right about Afghanistan was his fuck you. Out of the entire 2020 Democrat field only Biden and Bernie would have ever actually withdrawn imo

brought COVID under control in the U.S. (e.g., COVID deaths down 90% and over 220 million vaccinated)

Bruh COVID deaths dropped because everyone who was susceptible to Covid was thrown in to the flaming cauldron at the feat of a giant brazen statue of a three headed goat.

best economic growth record since Clinton

Lol Clinton’s Free Trade bullshit is the reason the Rust Belt is the Rust Belt and is the direct proximal cause of the opioid and meth crisis but go off.

brokered joint US/Mexico infrastructure project; Mexico to pay $1.5 billion for US border security

Nazi shit

Operation Fly-Formula, bringing needed baby formula (19 missions to date)

Late, and only when it became clear that actual babies would actually die and people would blame him for it

invested more in crime control and prevention than any president in history

Nazi shit

Climate Smart Buildings Initiative: Creates public-private partnerships to modernize Federal buildings to meet agencies’ missions, create good-paying jobs, and cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Nazi shit, specifically “Public Private Partnerships”

allocated funds to federal agencies to counter 300-plus anti-LGBTQ laws by state lawmakers in 2022

I don’t know what this is in reference too but given the decades long bipartisan plan to loot the USPS it’s probably bad

unemployment at a 50-year low

That’s because at least a million people died and millions more are disabled you dipshit 🦣 <- pretend this is the ba’al Mammon. How many of these are Brandon taking credit for feeding hundreds of thousands of people to the Altar of Khorne?

signed the NATO accession protocols for Sweden and Finland

Double Nazi Shit

Initiated “use it or lose it" policy for drilling on public lands to force oil companies to increase production

Literally destroying the world you fucking toolbag
