[mat]

C- as well. Could drop or rise soon.

@Reagan says the BBB will save us lmao! 

It’s my opinion that it will.  It hasn’t been fully integrated yet.  By spring and early summer you should it be some-what fully integrated.  Do you feel that elections are usually based on the economy?  I think the BBB, when fully implemented, will have this economy flowing!  Just in time for the next election.

Sorry for the multiple post.  Network was messing up!

Obama or Biden fault?

[OlDawg]

Strictly looking at policies that are important to a POTUS core mission, I'll give him a B. (Note, the economy is actually not a core POTUS function.)

• Border Security
• National Security (Flew under the radar, but put enough pressure on Panama that the Panamanian Govt. took the Panama Canal away from China last week. VERY big deal.)
• Bringing key needs (pharma, chipmakers, rare earth mineral development) back to the U.S.
• Deregulation

My grade will definitely drop if we enter a prolonged conflict in the Middle East.

I didn't vote for the man. He can also do some really idiotic stuff, and I don't care for him as a man--from what I can see/hear/watch. But, strictly based on policy, there's no debate between him and the Democrats. There are no moderate Democrats left. If they say they are, they're either lying, or they have no real input anyway. The Socialists run the Democratic Party now. I want less government--not more.

I really wish an independent, or libertarian candidate could get some traction. But, getting them on the ballot in all 50 States, getting them access to all the Intelligence and other reports/updates the 2 major Party candidates receive, equal funding & debate time is blocked by both major Parties as of now.

It’s funny that Bill Maher liked him after he met him. I hear that a lot from people that meet him find him friendly and nice.
 

Honestly, I find him interesting. While I don’t agree with some of the stuff he says, he is one tough dude. Has ANYONE had 3 bad years where you were gone after criminally in all directions, multiple states with a possibility of spending the rest of your life in jail, all while your family is being threatened with jail time,  while running again for the highest office in the world…..then during a campaign rally you get your ear shot off, then standup not knowing if another shot would kill you, scream fight?
 

That is a heck of a few years and to come out on top….well, we will never see that again in any of our lifetimes…..

I hope we never see another POTUS assassination attempt--regardless of POTUS. This stuff is out of control.

Out of curiosity, what overall grade do you give Biden for his 4 years?

That's not his style.  It's get in and get out.

Since there's discrepancy on the ABCDF thing, I'll say an 83 (a high B- in my interpretation)

Wish on one hand…

Once that ball of wax is opened, control of certain things becomes limited. It very quickly becomes a tit-for-tat and grows.

Duration depends on a lot of factors.  But, to say he believes in a prolong engagement like GW had, well, again, not his style.

More of a skirmish. People don’t realize how important it is that Israel not get nuked. They simply hate.

KFDM has a poll up, and it got me curious. What letter grade do you give Trump this term, and why? I'll give mine in a bit when I have a few minutes.

Bullets, I’m holding back on grading Trump’s 2nd term because there are several things in the works that could make significant changes in lots of these grades….except for the haters.

I think there are Israelis' inside Iran right now getting ready.  What do you think?

Israel has top Intelligence. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. If they get nuked, we can bend over and kiss it goodbye. Just my two cents. Anybody ever seen War Games with Matthew Broderick? The last scene isn’t far fetched at all.

I give Trump an A+ for holding Iran at bay.

Or c for convict! 😆 

Seriously, I really wish we all had better choices.  I will give him a B for securing the border.  Overall a solid D+

C for Biden

Factor not being mentioned in the files over 1000+  times, no convictions,  he did no prophet from his presidency through his business, with estimates suggesting Trump and his  family have secured $4 billion or more during his time in office that have come from foreign government, and international business deals. He also did not side with Putin over his own intelligence agency.  He has not attempted to rebrandish several high profile U.S. landmarks, federal sited and infrastructure projects with his name. Just to name a small fraction. Lastly, no heath plan and he promised not to touch medicare. Epstein will be his self inflicted down fall.
