The Evil Genius Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) 2 hours ago, Tundra scout said: The 71% of Americans in our latest NBC News poll saying the country is headed in the wrong direction is the eighth time in the last nine NBC News surveys dating back to Oct. 2021 when the wrong track has been above 70%. And the one exception was in Sept. 2022, when it was 68%. We have never before seen this level of sustained pessimism in the 30-year-plus history of the poll. https://notthebee.com/article/new-poll-shows-71-of-americans-think-the-country-is-on-the-wrong-track-and-im-surprised-the-number-isnt-even-higher Fwiw heading in the right/wrong direction is much different than the approval rating of a president. Biden's latest approval rating in that poll (see Q5 at the link below) was 45% with a plus minus error rate of slightly over 3%. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23589424-230032-nbc-january-2023-poll-v2-129-release The question that you tried to link to Biden only could easily have been answered with people thinking about nazis taking over the House.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 8 hours ago, goskins10 said: So even if that means more are trying to get across, the FACT that they are being aprehended would mean that the border is in fact NOT Open!! LOL Please explain how more people being aprehended means the borders are in fact open? LOL Need to do a little deceminating of data to beter understand the 71%. For those that I know that are cocnered, it's directly caused by crazies like MGT and that idiot spekaer of the house and all thier MAGA cronies controling congress. Others are very concerned about the gerrymandering done by Republicans and the overly conservative SCOTUS who already ****ied with abortion. Seems like if people were not happy with the policies of Dems they would have voted them out. Still waiting for that red wave. In fact Rs can only lose 4 votes and keep thier majority. Someone else asked but I will ask again, what are the 3 policies from Biden that are leadsing to the concern for where America is gonig. Unemployment is down, inflation is subsiding, the federal deficit was cut in half and more. Here is a list of the top 23 accomplishments, although the Rs are already trying to block them - or take credit for them... LOL How is that MGT bill to stop Biden from sellnig Oil reserves, despite him maknig money of it, doing? LOL Historic defeat. Yea, people are not concerned becasue of Bidens policies they are concerned becasue the MAGA crazies have gotten a littel to close to power. Here are 23 of Joe Biden’s top accomplishments as president of the United States. 1. Passed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package to increase investment in the national network of bridges and roads, airports, public transport and national broadband internet, as well as waterways and energy systems. 2. Helped get more than 500 million life-saving COVID-19 vaccinations in the arms of Americans through the American Rescue Plan. 3. Stopped a 30-year streak of federal inaction on gun violence by signing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that created enhanced background checks, closed the “boyfriend” loophole and provided funds for youth mental health. 4. Made a $369 billion investment in climate change, the largest in American history, through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. 5. Ended the longest war in American history by pulling the troops out of Afghanistan. 6. Provided $10,000 to $20,000 in college debt relief to Americans with loans who make under $125,000 a year. 7. Cut child poverty in half through the American Rescue Plan. 8. Capped prescription drug prices at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act. 9. Passed the COVID-19 relief deal that provided payments of up to $1,400 to many struggling U.S. citizens while supporting renters and increasing unemployment benefits. 10. Achieved historically low unemployment rates after the pandemic caused them to skyrocket. 11. Imposed a 15% minimum corporate tax on some of the largest corporations in the country, ensuring that they pay their fair share, as part of the historic Inflation Reduction Act. 12. Recommitted America to the global fight against climate change by rejoining the Paris Agreement. 13. Strengthened the NATO alliance in support of Ukraine after the Russian invasion by endorsing the inclusion of world military powers Sweden and Finland. 14. Authorized the assassination of the Al Qaeda terrorist Ayman al-Zawahiri, who became head of the organization after the death of Osama bin Laden. 15. Gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending. 16. Held Vladimir Putin accountable for his invasion of Ukraine by imposing stiff economic sanctions. 17. Boosted the budget of the Internal Revenue Service by nearly $80 billion to reduce tax evasion and increase revenue. 18. Created more jobs in one year (6.6 million) than any other president in U.S. history. 19. Reduced healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act by $800 a year as part of the American Rescue Plan. 20. Signed the PACT Act to address service members’ exposure to burn pits and other toxins. 21. Signed the CHIPS and Science Act to strengthen American manufacturing and innovation. 22. Reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act through 2027. 23. Halted all federal executions after the previous administration reinstated them after a 17-year freeze. Im a Biden voter and happy with these accomplishments and what he’s done so far. If I was asked this question in a poll I would answer the country is headed in the wrong direction, which to me, is because of the rise of right wing fascism that is trying to take over the country. Were those polled given reasons? This question is not a reflection of the president or his policies 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Biden needs to use his position to talk about this today. Then say their is a lot more work to do to bring down inflation. THEN call on McCarthy to come to the table to real solutions that aren't take cuts for the super wealthy or do anything to reverse this recovery. Warn that if they don't, things could go sideways. Basically start blaming them constantly for something that hasn't happened yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why in the world would you send a guy that would bend over at the slightest of pressure? China is sitting over there licking their chops saying “we got this.” he’ll probably just hitch a ride on one of their weather balloons. Hopefully, it blows off course and makes it to the South Pole. Also, as far as open border is concerned, just google people getting through the border wall. It’s crap. If your thin enough you can walk right through. This past week there was video of people cutting out one post and a group of people walking through. I have Indian (India) friends that went hiking down near the border. I think they were along the Rio Grande. It was a small section of the river. Their two kids were in high school at the time. Maybe 5 years ago. While the parents were cooking a meal, the kids swam to the other side of the river, yelled to their parents “we are in Mexico!” My friends freaked out and told them to get back over here! They were like “we’re brown, we can’t be doing this!” Edited February 3 by Fan since a Fetus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably done for political reasons in advance of Blinken's planned trip and meeting in China. US probably trying to use it as leverage in discussions. Meanwhile the GOP and outlets like Fox News are using it to try and make Biden look weak for not responding to the "threat" when in actuality it's not a threat at all (or they would've done something about it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
