"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Trump is worse than Biden. Biden sucks as a politician and president. There. It's easy. And frankly it'll save you a lot of anguish and bewilderment as normies in the middle really struggle to figure out who to vote for."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

We get it you are going to vote for him, or pretend you won’t and come and cry about how hard things are for your friends and family and how you tots understand why THEY would vote for him. You are so transparent.

We just spent 7 pages of folks accusing Biden was on coke, Bidens SOTU was Trump like, Biden is in charge of an international network moving 100s millions of dollars, and Biden is senile. LOL.

Yes. Holding these two simple concepts in your mind simultaneously is apparently incredibly difficult for some folks here. It is a remarkable thing to watch.
I simply don't agree that Biden is as crooked as the Clintons or many other politicians. I simply don't agree Biden's policy initiatives are targeted primarily to benefit his friends and cronies in the business sector or special interest groups. And I don't agree that he "isn't good." The numbers don't bear that out. We will benefit greatly from his work with Congress to pass legislation that will build a world-class semiconductor and EV battery infrastructure in the United States and friendly trading partners.
This doesn't mean I don't think Biden has problems. He shows his age. Many of those he needs to win in November are not happy with him over Gaza. There is an effective rightwing media strategy to paint him in the most negative of lights. Apparently, Hunter Biden matters to some people, yet those same people don't care that Trump's children sucked 100 fold more from their connections with, or even jobs in the White House (Ivanka was signing business deals while on an official visit with Trump to China).
Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

Obama had the same approval rating the same month amongst Democrats during his reelection campaign in 2012.
March 2012 Obama:

82 Democrats
10 republicans
https://news.gallup.com/poll/609188/...ond-worst.aspx
During President Joe Biden’s third full year in office, spanning Jan. 20, 2023, to Jan. 19, 2024, an average of 39.8% of Americans approved of his job performance. Among prior presidents in the Gallup polling era who were elected to their first term, only Jimmy Carter fared worse in his third year. Carter averaged 37.4%
From December:
https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-ins...oll_us_121823/
President Joe Biden’s job rating has hit an all-time low in the Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll, including particularly poor marks for his handling of immigration and inflation. Only 3 in 10 Americans say the incumbent is giving enough attention to the issues most important to them, which is worse than for his predecessor. The poll also finds congressional leadership ratings have dropped, with the new House speaker debuting in negative territory.
Public opinion of Biden’s overall job performance currently stands at 34% approve and 61% disapprove – his lowest rating in Monmouth’s polling since he took office."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
