All Things Biden: Is It Over Yet?

--oops

I've noticed the anti-maskers, covid is a hoax, why are y'all so worried anyway, have taken to worrying about "illegals" being allowed to spread covid now.

They're hopelessly lost up their own bums aren't they?

Ah yes, the fact-check.

The screen door is securely in place, and working perfectly. Just as you say.

I don't doubt that you'll prove the border is not open, and that the governments handling of the border does not reflect on their covid policies...

Um, yeah. According to the data in the link you provided the US Border Patrol is doing a sterling job apprehending illegal border crossers, especially during June 2021, when they apprehended more of them in a single month than they did under any other president since March 2000. You really ought to congratulate sleepy Joe for being so tough on those Mexican rapists and other criminals that "they" attempt to send to the US....

The number of religious people knocking at my door is at a five year high. This is obviously an administrative failure on the part of my landlord, and the carpenter they contracted to hang the door. This open door madness simply cannot continue.

You sound like the kind of idiot who would put a screen door on a submarine, and claim that the door was working perfectly as the water pours in.

At least not the kind of idiot that believed Trump when he promised to build an impregnable wall.

Don't you feel like the complete twit now?

[pErvinalia]

Imagine backing a one-term loser like Trump.

--and he lost to "sleepy" Joe.

Did not. You wrote it.

I move my lips when I read, so it counts.

Not unless you mean what you write/say.

Infrastructure week.

The fact that a significant number of Republican senators voted for this bill (giving Biden a significant win) is likely rather galling for the former Tweetolini.

'Big win for $1T infrastructure bill: Dems, GOP come together'

With a robust vote after weeks of fits and starts, the Senate approved a $1 trillion infrastructure plan for states coast to coast on Tuesday, as a rare coalition of Democrats and Republicans joined together to overcome skeptics and deliver a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s agenda.

“Today, we proved that democracy can still work,” Biden declared at the White House, noting that the 69-30 vote included even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

“We can still come together to do big things, important things, for the American people,” Biden said.

The overwhelming tally provided fresh momentum for the first phase of Biden’s “Build Back Better” priorities, now heading to the House. A sizable number of lawmakers showed they were willing to set aside partisan pressures, at least for a moment, eager to send billions to their states for rebuilding roads, broadband internet, water pipes and the public works systems that underpin much of American life.

Not to forget the genuine crappiness that's part of the Biden administration.

'Team Biden Quietly Approved a Fat Subsidy for One of America's Top Coal Suppliers'

One week after being sworn in, President Joe Biden signed a sweeping executive order aimed at “tackling the climate crisis at home and abroad.” It included seemingly clear language about ending subsidies for the industry most responsible for planetary warming.

“The heads of agencies shall identify for the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the National Climate Advisor any fossil fuel subsidies provided by their respective agencies, and then take steps to ensure that, to the extent consistent with applicable law, Federal funding is not directly subsidizing fossil fuels,” the order reads.

The order also directed the secretary of the interior to “consider whether to adjust royalties associated with coal, oil, and gas resources extracted from public lands and offshore waters, or take other appropriate action, to account for corresponding climate costs.”

No one anticipated that would mean reducing the fees drilling and mining companies pay to extract fossil fuels from federal lands.

Yet Biden’s Interior Department did just that, quietly approving Arch Resource’s request for royalty relief at two of its coal mines, West Elk in Colorado and Coal Creek in Wyoming, as E&E News first reported last week.

Things are not always that simple.

If the mines shut down, they don't become carbon neutral.

...a major source of the green house gas, methane is from abandoned coal mines.

Then there is the issue of polluted mine water from closed mines.
