There is also a great deal of negative press out regarding Biden. Honestly if you look at policy and accomplishments he's done quite a lot of good things. It is an uphill battle of course with Congress and the Supreme Court being what they are. We are a big country and it takes constant action to push it to a more equitable place for the majority of us.

Frankly, I think Biden has done a lot to start that push. It will take a lot more though and we could backslide terribly if we don't keep pushing.

I wonder if the Senate will do the whole trial part and make the House GOP present what they think is evidence?

Obligatory mention of Carter having to sell his peanut farm....

I think what we need to do to help alleviate some of the immigration issues is not to build a wall and keep them completely out, but to build a better gate. Our immigration system is broken and terribly understaffed, a lot of it is by design because people would rather have an issue to complain about rather thannsolve the problem.

We need immigrant labor and a lot of folks need jobs, so we rework the system to provide more temporary work permits to begin with. There is a system to do this already, it is just woefully inadequate.

Second, we set up a system where people aren't necessarily instantly rejected for asylum at the border. That would keep a lot of people from having to cross the border illegally just to try to claim asylum (which is unfortunately the current process). At the border, anyone claiming asylum could be processed, a background check run and a preliminary determination before a judge. At that point, it could be determined if the person has family or some support system in the US and they can possibly be released with an ankle bracelet to that support, confined until the asylum verdict, or deported immediately if they fail a background check.

This sort of process does three things.

Allows tracking for more immigrants that are going through the asylum process legitimately.

Allows legitimate migrant workers to be here legally which allows us to better track their whereabouts and deport them if needed. It also protects them from being abused by people who currently bring them over illegally. Keep in mind, lots of migrants like this just come here for a few months to work and then are happy to go back home.

Cuts down on who is actually crossing the border illegally. If you provide mechanisms for people to work here legitimately, apply for asylum without illegally crossing the border, then the people who do illegally cross are going to be fewer and much more likely to be the people you really want to keep out.

The only country that benefits from that is China. But maybe they'll give his daughter more patents

The GOP has been fostering conspiracy theories and fringe issues and now they are at the stage where their base is electing people who believe in the conspiracies. Those people aren't usually very stable, hence more disruptive behavior and fist fights. It is probably only a matter of time before one sneaks a gun in and shoots the place up.

Medicaid programs are mostly controlled by the individual states and not the federal government. Here they are blaming Biden when it is the state governors that are causing the problem. No doubt if Biden did something, they would have just written an article blaming him for federal overreach.

I love how the headline sounds so negative, and yet looking at the Numbers they could have easily just said "more Democrats approve of his handling of the crisis".

The only strategy they are working on is how to convince the voters it is the Democrats' fault

This is starting to get good. Pretty soon it'll be Trump standing alone at the dock.

This is the one that will be televised too. Probably is so long because of all the co-defendents

A lot of these religious folks think the apocalypse can't get here great enough, so they are helping
