You're trying to put so many backhanded, passive-aggressive things into one post that it totally disrupts the flow and obscures whatever point you're trying to make. All you needed to say was the bold. Thanks for saying it.

I gave a fair response. It also proves my point that you want to ignore anything pre Trump. Everything I said, backhanded, passive-aggressive, or whatever else you choose to call it, doesn't change the fact that I'm right.
No, it is a, people didn't start believing the progressive lunacy before women started getting more involved in politics, comment. Low T males becoming feminists is a direct result.
First, I live in the real world, and talk to everyday people. Believe it or not, a few customers of mine are old school democrats too. One of them is a retired elementary school principal. And he is fully aware of the joke the democratic party has become.
For the second reason? It doesn't get any less complicated than this Datt. Trump won.

How would you compare the job Trump has done in his first 100 days to Biden's first 100?In bold, the 7 pronouns you used in explaining how most normal people hate pronouns.
If you’re comparing Trump and Biden’s first 100 days, the contrast is pretty sharp. Biden passed the American Rescue Plan, real legislation that delivered direct relief, expanded the child tax credit, funded public health efforts, and helped stabilize the economy. It took negotiation, votes in Congress, and it lasts because it’s written into law.
Trump, so far, has passed zero major legislation. Instead, he’s relied almost entirely on executive orders that can be tossed out by courts or reversed by the next administration. They’re easy to sign, but they don’t carry the weight or staying power of real law. At this point, it seems like he’s more interested in performative theater than actually governing.
So if you compare what each administration actually got done in the first 100 days, the Biden administration accomplished significantly more, and it is not even close.

To further elaborate, the first 100 days is typically when a president holds the most political capital. It’s a window where momentum is high, the opposition is still finding its footing, and major legislation is most likely to pass. Presidents from both parties have used that time to push through signature policies, whether it was Obama tackling the financial crisis, Bush passing tax cuts, or Reagan beginning to reshape economic policy. In that context, Trump’s second-term start stands out not just for what it attempted, but for what it failed to do. No major legislation, no clear governing agenda, and no lasting achievements. By historical standards, it’s one of the least productive opening stretches we’ve ever seen.
New Pope is the first American Pope ever. I'd love to see impressions of President Trump taking credit for it, but I'll probably have to settle for the real thing.
The last undetermined election in the country from 2024 was finally settled as Republican judge concedes in NC Supreme Court election.

Now, one record Trump has broken is the number of executive orders signed in his first 100 days. He signed 143, beating out Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 99 during the same period in 1933. Roosevelt was dealing with a collapsed economy and massive unemployment. Trump? He’s been using executive orders to rename buildings, rebrand federal programs, and throwing red meat to his political allies.
Some of these orders have read more like social media posts than governing directives. One directed agencies to “reaffirm the importance of American greatness” in internal messaging. Another tried to redefine how federal workers talk about climate change. There was even one about establishing a task force to investigate anti-Trump bias in federal hiring. These aren’t serious policy actions. They’re symbolic moves meant to grab headlines and settle scores.
And as of now, at least 11 of those executive orders have already been struck down by federal courts, with many more currently being litigated.

Haha. Good one @Th0r. The mere fact you're touting Biden is quite comical. You did an ok job "looking" unbiased for a little bit, but the mask is off. Any rational person knows he made NO decisions related to the country. The Rescue Plan? If that had any positive impact, it was negated due to the gas prices that skyrocketed faster than Biden could mumble "pass me more cocoa puffs."
Prices were roughly $2.20 a gallon in December 2020, which was about the yearly average. By April of 2021, it was $2.86 a gallon.

What about the border? Can't argue that one. I think safety of our border trumps (no pun intended) some silly Relief Act.
You asked for a comparison, so I gave you one. Whether you liked the legislation or not isn’t really the point. The American Rescue Plan was real policy passed through Congress, signed into law, funded, and implemented. Trump, by contrast, passed no major legislation in his first 100 days. That’s not spin. That’s the legislative record.
You can argue about outcomes all day, but there’s the reality of what was actually done and then there’s the storyline built to distract from it. One president used their early political capital to pass a sweeping economic package. The other signed a stack of executive orders, many of which are already being challenged or struck down.
See my post to @Dattier, who seems more interested in riding your coat tails than he does engaging in actual issues. You're as left leaning as he is to not give any credit to the border. I think we can all agree safety should be a priority, which Trump has made it to be. Of course any is better than what we did have.
The border numbers the Trump Administration has cited about the Trump Administration definitely look good for the Trump Administration.
Now you’re deflecting. You asked for a comparison of what each administration actually got done in their first 100 days, and I gave you one. Instead of engaging with that, you’re shifting to the border. Fine, let’s talk about it.
I’m not downplaying border security. But let’s be honest about how these things work. The American Rescue Plan was a 1.9 trillion dollar law passed through Congress. That takes real leverage. It requires negotiation, committee work, floor votes, and actual bipartisan maneuvering. It’s a heavy lift.
Trump’s approach on the border has been all through executive action. No new laws have been passed. And while that might sound decisive, it doesn’t have staying power. Executive orders are the lazy way out. Real change has to go through Congress. Without that, it’s a mirage. Policy that looks tough until you realize how little of it is built to last.
So sure, you can say the border matters more to you. That’s your opinion. But nothing I said was biased. It’s just the reality of what has actually happened.

I appreciate you addressing the border issue. It’s been a dangerous situation for quite some time. Usually you deflect and change the subject when a topic is a loser for the Left.
It looks like it’s not just Trump citing the numbers.
Classic answers by leftists. Classic. Datt's answer is par for the course. He has no answer, even after it's been proven how crooked the media is. So all he does is come back with a childish retort that is meaningless. Now you on the other hand? You definitely think you're in the know. See above sentence on media though.
Again, that's because any rational person knows Biden did no good for America, and he wasn't in charge. What he is though is a part of the establishment. Rotten to the core.
Trump hasn't been. You've been indoctrinated by the media, so you've been trained to critique him. That's a problem, and it's why you're stuck like you are.
I gave a clear, and obvious fact about gas prices. All within the first 100 days. You harp on executive orders.

130k apprehensions Feb 2023 and 24. This year 8300. Were new laws passed? Did the CBP increase its staff tenfold? No, they are now simply allowed to do their jobs. They signed up to be in law enforcement, not to be a glorified concierge. Biden should have been impeached for his dereliction at the border.
First priority of a President: protect its borders from invasion. Thousands on terror watch lists pored over our border while Biden had the FBI infiltrating PTA meetings . Shameful
Addendum about the numbers: the deterrence factor can’t be overestimated as well. Exponentially less people are making the trip since November Id wager. When Kamala told them “ Don’t come” they knew it was empty political rhetoric to save their hides. With Trump they don’t want to FAFO.

The American Rescue Plan huh? To the tune of 1.9 trillion dollars? I bet there's enough pork in there that the pages squeal when you flip them.
Is this the one that spent twenty billion to build eight charging stations or was that another monstrosity?
What are you talking about? I gave you an answer that contained exactly zero pronouns since you hate them so much.
