Well here we find ourselves again on the eve of our monthly Jobsgiving. Joey Paychex has had quite the month. Between surviving the COVID assassination attempt, getting Americans to the lowest uninsured rate ever in our country, educating people on what a recession truly is and not some archaic definition written by nerds, getting his bro Manchin on board with a climate, health, and tax bill, you could call it a success.  And then you see he took out the #1 guy in Al Qaeda and the son and son in law of Taliban’s #2 guy. Some would way say that’s a good thing and has ascended to the top spot in terrorists killing power rankings.
 

The Fed would love to see Joe $ come in around 250k jobs gained to see if the ratehikers can catch up. They got their hands on their knees right now desperately calling out “Slow down jefe, we can’t keep up.” And Two Scoops letting out a chuckle, scanning the room before taking of his aviators and says “Andale amigo.” Points to the gas signs in South Texas with the lowest average prices in the country and takes another step forward.

528k actual vs 250k estimate

Biden is too old to be president and I only voted for him because of my disdain for Trump.  But he is fucking crushing it.  His Fed is threading the needle to a soft landing, getting inflation under control without seeing significant increases in unemployment.  His SoS and DoD have steered Russia into losing a large scale kinetic war in Europe without a single US soldier’s boots on the ground, while also mitigating the economic fallout thru negotiations with the Saudis (oil) and Turkey (wheat).  On top of that, they’ve leveraged the event to expand NATO.  He’s effectively addressed pandemic-induced shortages of formula and fuel.  And now he’s about to pass a bill that I believe will be moderately effective at addressing RX drug prices and reducing the budget deficit.

I wish he’d been able to pass better protections for voting rights and election integrity, and I wish he could get comprehensive immigration reform to instill a firm but compassionate border policy that also serves to address a long term labor shortage (something that doesn’t even appear to be on the list).  And he’s still too old to be president.  But considering the narrow congressional majority and geopolitical conditions he’s been dealt, his administration has far exceeded my expectations so far.

I think this is mostly true, but the voting rights and election integrity part is massive.  This will all be for naught if this isn't addressed before the mid terms.

This is ridiculous.  I'll rewrite it from the opposite prospective:

"Biden is too old to be president and I only voted for him because of my disdain for Trump.  But he is the worst fucking president (and his polling confirms it). The last two weeks have been "good" which ironically coincides with him battling Covid and being quarantined.  His Fed is has caused the stock market to vomit all over itself for the year, inflation is as bad as it's been since early 80's while the labor participation rate is collapsing and real wages are declining.  His SoS and DoD fucked up the Afghanistan withdrawal leaving dead US soldiers and retaliated by murdering afghani kids all while returning Afghan to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.  That Afghanistan shit show encouraged Russia to invade Ukraine while murdering and raping their way through the country (with a bonus of increasing oil revenues into Russia and creating a global food and energy shortage going into winter).   He tried to mitigate the energy issue by begging a journalist murdering dictator to produce more oil and he got a middle finger in return for his fist bump.  And now he’s about to pass a bill that I believe will assfuck every tax payer in the US while continuing to give the richest of the rich unfair tax treatment.  He's also overseen a new global health emergency given his messaging ability is potato"

It is WILD to me to think that NO MATTER WHAT, they will never admit they were wrong.  500k+ jobs, -1.7 TRILLION on the deficit so far and it won't make a damn bit of difference.  

Hell, if dotard had actually done ANYTHING good, to the tune of what's happening right now, I would have eaten my crow.  That was actually my one sliver of hope in 2017 when he was inaugurated.  I remember thinking MAYBE it was all an act and now that he's President, he will drop it and actually TRY to govern.  Oh, how wrong I was, but I wish that had been the case.

While I didn't think Trump was pretending , I thought at least he might manage to shake somethings up in a good way. That didn't happen unfortunately. But he did make one (perhaps only one) decent appointment with NASA and Bridenstine, and generally I liked the moves by NASA under his administration.

Leisure and Hospitality +70K

Manufacturing +30K

Biden could’ve created 1 million jobs this month and idiots like Tom Cotton would still be saying Biden is unfit for office and Trump is a god who we all dearly miss everyday.

The flipside is if Trump was in office right now, all the MAGA idiots would be trumpeting the jobs report and the unemployment rate while saying anyone talking about a recession is a “ never trumper”. there would probably be some national law going through the halls of congress to outlaw abortion completely, elections would be under attack on a daily basis, the US postal system would be almost non-existent.

I know it’s popular to drag Biden for being too old and ineffectual, but I’d argue that his record of accomplishment compares favorably with any president in recent memory. We got so used to hearing Trump brag on himself, it seems almost a dereliction of duty for Biden to do the same. It’s this kind of life changing stuff his administration does that goes largely unnoticed:

https://www.yahoo.com/now/biden-administration-pledges-support-lowndes-020005441.html

EPA Administrator Michael Regan, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu traveled to Lowndes this week to announce the Closing America’s Wastewater Access Gap Community Initiative. It is a pilot program that will operate in 11 communities across the country to secure federal funding and install adequate wastewater infrastructure like indoor plumbing and sewage systems.

“Too many people have waited far too long for the government to actually work,” Vilsack said at Tuesday’s gathering. “I am going physically back to Washington, but I’m staying here mentally. We have to rebuild trust in government.”

One thing going under the radar is that the Biden administration (because he no doubt has a team doing most of the work) has appointed more federal judges than any President since at least Reagan, and the most judges as a percentage of total seats on the Federal bench since Reagan. The Biden administration has consistently made good on its promise to diversify the bench. If Democrats are able to hold the Senate, Biden could go down as a President that transformed the Federal judiciary, even if it is just one term.

Of course, barring something totally unforeseen, he will only have the one SC justice, which admittedly counts for more.

I don't enthusiastically approve of his performance - on balance I'd say he's been the mediocre President I expected - but it's been a better administration than the Trump-adjacent approval ratings show.

[Biff Tannen 45491]

Honest question, because I don't remember anything else, and I am clearly biased.  Other than the massive corporate and rich people tax cut bill, what big thing(s?) did the dotard administration do?  I feel like that was literally the only large piece of legislation they passed.
