First you self projected we on the right oppose The Biden Adminstration there is no hatred of Biden. For some reason people on the left seem to have some need to actually hate those they disagree with.
Now on to the topic at hand.President is a weak leader who simply is not up to the job. The first paragraph of this op/ed pretty much sums up how people in general and republicans in particular view the Biden adminstration.
As for your list of accomplishments. Great job we finally took away free money and what do you know people went back to work. He put together a cabinet, well here is a cookie. He is packing the court no problem but, when republicans do it you on the left scream. The pandemic yes he has done an excellant job, As for the rest not so much....I give him a C minus.

That’s a very active form of violent hate. You guys’s whole way of life is based in it.
You guys confuse criticism of your vicious worldview with “hate,” when you’re the ones waving traitor flags, attacking this country’s capitol, and calling yourselves the victims just as you did above.Glennfs wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:20 pm https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... 0cf9e2824b

And he has done a much better job than Trump. A group of maybe 1000 rioted at the capital. Every group has people like that in it. But they do not represent the whole. Anymore than the BLM rioters represent the BLM movement as a whole.carmenjonze wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 8:26 am Today in Conservative Self-Gaslighting…

Sure, screaming and posting "Let's Go Brandon" signs all over the country is just a polite, friendly way of saying "Mr. Biden, I politely disagree."

Nice try with the predictable whattabbouttery, but the Bee Ell Emm bugbear is irrelevant to you guys trying to overturn an election and lynch the VP.
Not only do these fellow confederates of yours represent the violent, destructive undercurrents of conservative Republican so-called values — and wave the same flag you do — you continue to defend, minimize, and rationalize these vigilantes a year and a half later. As you just did above.

The Troll is more than likely referring to his own grades when he was school. The Troll cannot deny the accomplishments of the Biden/Harris Administration so he does what all Cons do when they cannot argue against the truth, he attacks the individual who posted the facts.
The lowest unemployment in ovr 50-Years, the Traitor LOST jobs.
Millions on American vaccinated, the Traitor wanted Americans to drink Pine-Sol and shine a UV light up their ass.
The Traitor called U.S. Military Personnel who were Killed In Action "Suckers and Losers". Had President Biden said such a morally reprehensible thing the Troll would shouting at the moon over it.
President Biden is fighting for Democracy in Ukraine, the Traitor deliberately held up military to that country until the President of Ukraine had dug up political dirt Joe Biden.
The Troll cannot fight the truth of Joe Biden a highly successful President, so he attacks the source and gives a grade that he struggled to achieve himself.
Love of Country is not Blind Patriotism. It is not devotion to one person or one party. It is knowing fighting for your country is single most important thing you can do. Do not accept the notion violence is the answer.

So while you on the left are believing the race and gender of appointees are accomplishments.
The real accomplishments can be seen in the results of Bidenflation and Bidenomics
As after about 18 months in we see the results of what happens when liberals run our economy.
GDP is in decline inflation at record highs people with around $6000 less spending money.
Everything that should be up is down and everything that should be down is up.
Or

US Economy Shrinks, Threats Loom, but Growth Likely to Last
The U.S. economy shrank last quarter for the first time since the pandemic recession struck two years ago, contracting at a 1.4% annual rate, but consumers and businesses kept spending in a sign of economic durability.
https://www.usnews.com/news/business/ar ... t-spending
The U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of the year, and faces threats from high inflation and rising interest rates, yet economists foresee a return to growth for the rest of 2022 based on the strength of the job market and consumer spending.
The 1.4% quarterly decline in gross domestic product — the first contraction since the pandemic hit in 2020 -- is not likely a prelude to recession, economists say. That may bring little comfort to President Joe Biden and Democrats, who face mid-term elections this year in which rising prices for food, energy and other essentials will be a major theme of Republican opposition.
Two trends drove the U.S. economy’s decline last quarter, according to Thursday’s report from the Commerce Department:
— Imports soared nearly 20% as Americans spent heavily on foreign-made goods, while exports fell almost 6% as growth slowed overseas — a widening of the trade deficit that subtracted 3.2 percentage points from GDP.
— Businesses restocked their shelves at a slower pace at the start of the year. That's because they had rebuilt inventories aggressively ahead of last year's holiday shopping season, when they feared pandemic-related supply shortages.
As a result, first quarter GDP — the nation’s total output of goods and services — fell far below the 6.9% annual growth in the fourth quarter of 2021.
However, rising wages bolstered spending by households, and higher profits drove investment by companies. Together these factors suggest strong fundamentals for the U.S. economy, even in the face of challenges from the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the Federal Reserve's plans to raise interest rates to fight inflation.
“The report isn’t as worrisome as it looks,” said Lydia Boussour, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. “The details point to an economy with solid underlying strength that demonstrated resilience in the face of Omicron, lingering supply constraints and high inflation.”
The U.S. economy is in an unusual and challenging position.
The job market — the most important pillar of the economy — remains robust, with the unemployment rate near a 50-year low of 3.6%, and wages rising steadily. And in the January-March quarter, businesses and consumers increased their spending at a 3.7% annual rate after adjusting for inflation.
Economists consider these trends a better gauge of the economy’s core strength than the latest GDP figure.

It was illegal for entire groups of people to live in some neighborhood, or attend some public school or university, or serve equally to white males in the military, or be nominated or apply to federal and state positions, or sit in a certain place on public transportation.
Every time you hear the words "first Black ____" or "first woman _____" or "first out-gay or out-transgender ____" or anything similar, it's because bigoted, ignorant, conservative whites like you spent so many centuries legally and violently excluding everyone but yourselves.
From every sector of society. Including other so-called whites.
I get that white cons do not consider these conditions to be discriminatory or victimization of others. But whilst everyone else was held back due to things like "race and gender," and a whole lot of other things, this has taken place in your lifetime, the lifetimes of my parents and grandparents and great-grandparents, and everyone on this board, and you are the beneficiary.
So it makes sense why you are dishonest and debased enough to be a conservative person.

What a stupid, mindless propaganda term. :problem:
Two Minutes Hate - Wikipedia
The political purpose of the Two Minutes Hate is to allow the citizens of Oceania to vent their existential anguish and personal hatreds towards politically expedient enemies: Goldstein and the enemy superstate of the moment. In re-directing the members' subconscious feelings away from the Party's government of Oceania, and towards non-existent external enemies, the Party minimises thoughtcrime and the consequent, subversive behaviours of thoughtcriminals.[2]

Segregation lasted into the late 1970s.
It was was illegal for a woman to open a bank account separate from her husband, also into the 1970s.
50 years ago, the government could force her into pregnancy.
It was illegal to serve in the military as an out queer or trans person until 10 years ago.
It was illegal to get married until 7 years ago if you are LGBTQ.
You dirty people are banning public library books, criminalizing abortion, restricting voting, and giving free reign to killer cops, TODAY.

This is why he tries to minimize it as much as he can, and as often as possible.
Consequently, it’s not an achievement when anyone from a targeted group is successful, despite the continual onslaught of white conservatism and their backlash culture.
In fact, this guy is dumb enough to have actually believed hate crime laws are Jim Crow against whites. In their world, when even one of us is successful, it’s literally Jim Crow to them. :problem:
