Open Thread | President Biden’s Experience: What It Truly Means

I really do believe that this is one of his superpowers:

LadyGrey 🇦🇲🇺🇦🇺🇸 (@TWLadyGrey) posted at 1:28 PM on Mon, Apr 01, 2024:
Joe Biden, through his understanding of government and his ability to hire the most qualified people, has made our government work better for everyday Americans simply by fixing already existing programs.

It’s life changing.

And guess what: it’s because he’s old & experienced.

I have said it for awhile now – the reason that the MSM dislikes President Biden is because of the competency of his Administration. In order to discuss the Biden Administration, you have to know and understand POLICY. They would rather be stenographers. They don’t want to have to understand and explain POLICY.

President Biden has been in government a long time. He has actually learned things over the years.
And, he comes from a philosophy of that the government can be used to HELP PEOPLE.

And, with that philosophy, he has made it clear to those who work with him, that this should be their goal also.

You can see it in the Student Loan Forgiveness issue.

Though thwarted by the Supreme Court, he has been working with the Department of Education to find ways, using programs that already exist, to go and help people.

I keep on harping on the Public Service Forgiveness Program.
Through the beginning of the program through 2020, there were 7,000 people who got forgiveness.
7,000.

Since President Biden ordered a retooling of the program,
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE AND COUNTING

Have had their loans forgiven.

The way that he’s using programs already in place, and reshaping them so that they help as many people as possible – that’s using government in a positive way.
We have Republican AG’s suing the President, trying to stop what he’s doing….complaining that he doesn’t have the right…the Executive doesn’t have the right to use programs that have existed for years? They are just mad that President Biden has found ways to help people using these programs, because they thought that they had stopped him with their Supreme Court case.

Another place where President Biden has made a difference is healthcare:

It is really underrated how much Joe Biden is actually the “healthcare pls” President. Not only did he pass a legislative expansion of both Postpartum Medicaid and the ACA exchanges, but he’s rewritten so many rules to make coverage better and qualification easier.
(https://x.com/What46HasDone/status/1774864051949973851?t=4knrD67TwLo5VO_qDYn7Ug&s=03)

Using programs that already exist, but, tweaking them so that they can expand and help as many people as possible.

The Infrastructure Bill:
Removing lead pipes, which damages multiple generations.
Bringing consistent, dependable wifi, to those parts in rural America without it.
Helping build up America’s crumbling infrastructure with jobs going to Americans, in every corner of this country. Infrastructure for the betterment of the common good. Using government to be a positive force in people’s lives.

President Biden understands this. He has this vision, and he’s consistent, and he’s devoted in service to this country.

    I was sort of busy yesterday, but inform me if I’ve got this correct:

    The Orange Menace’s bond in NY is in question, because the company giving it to him:

    Is shady itself 
     Might not have the funds to cover it
     Isn’t licensed in NY State

    Is this correct?

    If so, I think they thought they’d pull the OkeyDoke on AG James. 

    Lips so pursed.

    TN House GOP passes protections for anti-LGBTQ foster parents as parental leave bill fails
    Melissa Brown
    Nashville Tennessean

    Tennessee House Republicans on Monday passed legislation to block the state Department of Children’s Services from excluding potential adoptive or foster parents who hold anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs for “religious or moral” reasons, which sponsors argued was necessary to grow the pool of foster families in the state.

    But dozens of Republicans later voted down a separate bill to establish a paid parental leave program for state employees who become foster parents, saying people would “manipulate” the program for extra vacation time.

    The Republican sponsors of the anti-LGBTQ+ bill, HB 2169, have argued the legislation will protect prospective foster families from being blocked from fostering children altogether if they decline to care for a gay or trans foster child, but Democrats criticized the legislation as potentially dangerous if children are sent to “hostile” environments where they aren’t supported or accepted.

    They can’t be bothered to do their phucking jobs and connect all the dots?🤬🤬🤬

    I watched Velshi sub for Larry O last night, and he brought up the insider trading part, but didn’t bring up the funding part. Is it too much to ask for all the dots to be connected? It’s not a conspiracy, if it’s all in black and white. Wish someone would do a white board with the pictures and show the  connections…like the cops do.
