 This is for my reference. If you want to use it, go ahead. Or downvote away, I really don't care. I'm just sick of seeing the same comments over and over along the lines of "What has Joe Biden done?" or "He's better than Trump, but that's about it." by people who have the memory of goldfish. Is Biden a great president? History hasn't determined that yet. Has he spent the last 10 months making GBS threads his adult diapers and golfing while rage-tweeting about how American Service Members are cowards or how he'd really like you to buy his friend's beans? No. So here is a list I put together of what the gently caress has been going on in 2021:  TL/DR: No, this is already a TL/DR of CURRENT EVENTS. If you don't care, why should I? PS: If it's not clear, I don't think Biden walks on water. He's made some pretty big blunders, and I have qualms with his policies, so spare me the "This is just a Biden fanboy post" nonsense. Also, I didn't get into his appointees, what the DOJ under him has been up to, etc. And I probably missed or mischaracterized a couple of things. Sue me.  (BTW, these photos are just filler, like bookmarks. I don't claim to own them. In fact, this one is from Nat Geo.) So what the hell has the Congress under Joe Biden been up to? Here's a list of notable bills that were passed this year: 117-2 American Rescue Plan Act - Covid checks, extended unemployment, emergency paid leave, extended food stamp benefits, expanded child tax credit, tax increases on large corporations, business grants, state govt funding for shortfalls, covid mitigation for schools, housing assistance, funding for vaccines/PPE/distribution, pension protection, expanded ACA coverage 117-4 Pushing for vaccines for vets through VA 117-6 PPP extension for small businesses 117-15 Reauthorized stem cell research 117-17 Establishes Juneteenth holiday 117-21 Expands VA rural healthcare 117-32 Medals for capitol police 117-37 Provide therapy dogs to service members 117-38 Medals for WWI black veterans 117-40 Require budget justifications to be made public 117-45 Increased cost of living for veterans 117-58 Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal 117-61 Extend disability benefits for first responders So, yeah. Only one pretty important bill through Congress per month, including TWO HUGE PIECES OF LEGISLATION! In his first year in office! With a potential THIRD on the way. And with practically 0 help from Republicans. In the midst of ongoing investigations into a ton of corrupt bullshit carry over from the previous administration, plus the January 6th investigations.  (Photo from Whitehouse.gov) But that above is just Congress. Biden is only involved in negotiating and signing. People can be forgiven if they don't give credit to him for those, right? How about what he did directly. WHELP, here's a list of his executive actions, many done in his first 100 days in office, along with several additional presidential actions that he has taken: Executive Orders: -*Raise min wage for federal workers* to $15 and restore collective bargaining power -Raise cap on refugees and lifts Trump ban -Additional sanctions on Russia -Formed commission on SCOTUS reform -Revoked sanctions against ICC officials -Sanctions on Myanmar military leaders for coup -Ends family separation policy -Extend FEMA support for national guard money spent during pandemic -Closed loopholes in the Buy American rules -Reversed ban on transgender in military -Used the defense production act to address Coronavirus supply deficiencies -Ended US withdrawal from WHO -Extended the eviction moratorium (twice) and student loan pause -Rejoined the Paris Climate Accord -Canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline and 100+ Trump environmental policies -Rescinds the 1776 commissions -Ended Trump border wall construction -Modernized regulatory reviews through OMB -Criminal justice reform/collaboration with Indigenous communities -Executive support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities -*Direct FTC to issue rules on Right-to-Repair* Other Acts: -Extend nuclear arms treaty with Russia -Take over US withdrawal from Afghanistan/sets September end date -Immediately release disaster relief for Texas blackouts, Hurricane Ida, New York floods, West Coast Wildfires, etc -Meet 100M and 200M vaccination goals ahead of first 100 days -Official recognition of Armenian Genocide -Suspends ANWR oil and gas leases -Cancelled 1.5B in student loan debt -Announced investigation into rising gas prices, agreement to release strategic oil reserve with China, South Korea, UK, others So, yeah. If you don't actually give a poo poo about any American community other than rich white birth-citizens, none of these look like a big deal at all. Fair enough.  So Biden got some things done. But it's been a pretty chill year. He hasn't had much on his plate to deal with other than passing bills and ruling through executive orders, right? Well, here's a brief highlight reel of major events related to US politics and governance as a reminder: Jan 6th THE loving CAPITOL INSURRECTION Jan 10th More than 3,000 daily US covid deaths Jan 11th Impeachment of Donald Trump Jan 17th Alexey Navalny arrested in Russia Jan 28th Reddit GME attack on Hedge Funds Feb 1st Military Coup d'etat in Myanmar Feb 15th Winter storm collapese Texas energy grid Mar 21st Boulder shooting, 10 dead, largest since Covid lockdowns Mar 23rd Ever Given shuts down Suez Canal Apr 20th Derek Chauvin convicted of murder Apr 26th US census completed and approved May 5th Battle begins again between Israel/Palestine May 5th US ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline May 19th Israel/Palestinian bilateral ceasefire May 23rd Belarus hijacks commercial airliner May 24th Attempted congressional coup in Samoa May 25th Coup in Mali May 31st Hundredth anniversary of Tulsa 'Black Wallstreet' Massacre Jun 13th Netanyahu is ousted as Prime Minister Jun 13th G7 summit Jun 14th Massive heatwave cripples Texas energy grid Jun 24th Remains of 761 indigenous at Canadian boarding school Jun 25th WHO identifies Delta as variant of concern Jun 28th Ethiopia declares ceasefire in Tigray region Jul 1st NY charges Trump Org with tax fraud and grand larceny Jul 7th Haiti's president is assassinated Jul 11th Protests begin in Cuba Jul 13th Protests begin in South Africa Jul 15th Massive flooding destroys towns across Europe Jul 23rd Olympic games open / delta becomes dominant variant Jul 27th Largest repatriation of stolen Iraqi antiquities to Baghdad Aug 2nd 70% of Americans vaccinated / wildfires rage throughout US Aug 8th Taliban captures Kunduz and begins expanding territory Aug 14th First rain ever recorded at Summit Station in Greenland Aug 15th Afghan president flees / Lebanon tanker explosion Aug 24th Cuomo replaced by Hochul in NY / Climate change famine in Madagascar Aug 26th Bombings at Kabul Airport Aug 29th Hurricane Ida makes landfall Aug 30th Final military evacuation by US in Afghanistan (116,700 people in 16 days) Sep 1st Texas abortion ban / Record rain in NY and NJ Sep 2nd 43 dead as Hurrican Ida sweeps NE Sep 5th Coup in Guinea Sep 9th Biden announces federal vaccine mandate Sep 14th Gavin Newsom recall fails Sep 15th US, UK, and AUS trilateral submarine agreement Sep 16th France announces killing of IS leader Sep 30th Government funding extended into December Oct 2nd California pipeline oil spill Oct 3rd Pandora papers released / Massive flooding in Europe Oct 25th Military coup in Sudan Oct 30th G20 summit Nov 2nd Multiple US state elections Nov 3rd COP26 climate conference So, yeah, it was a pretty chill year. I guess the haters are right. Biden has basically done nothing but keep the boat afloat in calm seas and he will go down as the least impactful president in history, which we can all agree on despite him being barely over 1/5th of the way through his presidency. ****FP Edit: Wow, you made it all the way to the end and put it on FP! Sorry, the last slide got moved. I also edited two items to make it clearer exactly what Biden did. Don't bother sending nudes, I never check my DMs anyway.****

I understand how terrible this is, but it's so much worse than most probably realize. If you want to know how amazing the Ohio Democrats are, this is probably the 2nd most popular Democrat in the state. That is how Ohio goes from purple to dark red.

You know whats really funny is that if I expressed concern (or god forbid, anger) at the sudden restart of payments after forbearance in say, D&D, I'd be accused immediately of only caring because it affected me, personally. As though that is the bar to be met. My grandma died in 2009 and her estate (what there was of it) covered my $20k in outstanding loans I had left, by her express will. I don't have any outstanding student loans anymore, and I didn't have a choice in it. libs will never loving admit to the fact that they engage in politics out of self interest while they constantly and unendingly only participate when it benefits them personally. phil ochs really did fuckin call it, man.

I sincerely enjoyed it, and hopefully this is the most embarrassing post I ever make lol, lmao
