Biden orchestrated one of the greatest prisoner swaps in American history. I really think Biden has had one of the most successful presidencies in recent history. Very underrated and a shame that he is too old to run again

If he gets Maduro out of Venezuela it would be his #1 accomplishment for me honestly. He would have helped set it up since the US made him fake agree to a real election with observers in return for lifting sanctions, which he predictably didn't stick to, but it might have made it easier to force him out now.

It seems like his last drive is to fix the Supreme Court. Not really much a president can do there, so I agree with you Shack. Getting Maduro to cave would be a great last gift to the world and cement him as an all time great at foreign policy.

Fix the Supreme Court lol.

Supreme Court reform is very popular. So yes, fix the Supreme Court. But it won’t happen. Not much a president can do here. You need amendments which would require 2/3rds of both chambers and all state legislatures. Despite how popular it would be it won’t happen

The Supreme Court doesn’t exist to be popular. That’s why they’re not up for election and are lifetime appointments. They’re there to interpret the law as written not give people what they want. That’s the legislatures job.

I agree with you, but the recent Supreme Court which receives bribes from outside interests and holds no accountability for corruption and wrongdoing no longer interprets the law as written. I mean how do you stop a court that goes rogue and disregards the Constitution for personal reasons or because a donor gave them millions in benefits to rule a certain way?

When in your opinion did they last “interpret the law as written”?

Term limits may be a good idea but the main reason the left wants to reform the supreme court is they've been in the way of their plans and forces them to vote through the Republican half of congress instead of nullifying them with central planning decisions. There is 0 chance that Biden would be proposing these changes if there was a Democrat majority that had protected Roe v Wade. It's about ethics about as much Gamergate was.

The whole case about Presidential Immunity is literally not in the Constitution and in fact if you want to present yourself as a Strict Constitutional Judge, this is a gross overreach that undermines the entire point of checks and balances. Alito and Thomas have had a direct interest, specifically Thomas, on any case involving January 6th. He did not recuse himself as he should have, but can you blame him as there is no law, nor rule on saying he has to. Just the honor code for someone who takes bribes on a regular basis from corporations to rule a certain way

I think it's not a bad system that to charge a president for official act he has to be impeached first which removes his protection. So if Biden ordered Trump to be murdered he wouldn't get away with it as long as the congress impeached him.

If Trump can’t get impeached for inciting a riot to overturn the results of a free and fair election, no one would get impeached

Cori Bush looks likely to lose her primary woot woot!

If that was true then why did the Pubs block Merick Garland?

Because they knew he’d be a rubber stamp for the democrats and use the court to advance their agenda, continuing to find fake “rights” like the right to privacy, abortion, sodomy, same sex marriage, condoms, etc, that are not mentioned anywhere in the constitution.

The left loves to complain the Supreme Court is advancing the Republicans “agenda” but the constitution is naturally a conservative document by definition as it exists to “secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity” which is a very conservative idea.

Isn't the nature of conservatism to resist change? So why didn't out founding fathers just stick with England if they loved the status quo so much?

The fact is that every person is going to being their own politics and beliefs to the position. You can pretend otherwise since I know believing whatever you wanna believe, and then forcing those beliefs on others, is a big part of the Pubs ideology. If Gorsich had any real honor and cared about the constitution they never would have accepted the stolen seat. It was all about gaining power by whatever means necessary.

That being said, Shack is right that if liberals had the 6-3 advantage they wouldn't be talking about balancing the court and it's be Republicans complaining about how the supreme court is a danger to American Freedom and Eagles. But really it should be 5-4 conservative with Roberts or whoever the chief justice is at the time switching back and forth between siding with libs and pubs.

Barrett sides more with the libs than Roberts this last year. Again the recent ruling of immunity was about the most overreaching act from the Supreme Court since Roe v Wade, and unlike Roe v Wade which served to benefit women, the recent immunity ruling only really serves one person.

One thing that annoys me greatly in these later months of the Biden years is that the White House Press and those friendly to the Harris campaign keep calling it the Biden-Harris administration. It is super annoying and greatly undercuts the immediate legacy of Joe Biden. I still stand by the history will favor him kindly, snd this just reeks of Harris trying to piggy back off Biden’s success

FDA approved what is essentially a stimpack from Fallout series https://www.fastcompany.com/91173438/tr ... a-approval

TBH they have referred to it as the Biden Harris admin for pretty much the entire time. Biden has actually been very good about that.

Biden is more remembered in the long run than Clinton, Bush Sr, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, etc. because more happened in his tenure, but with how it ended being caricature levels of old is the easiest way for future generations to see him, and if Harris loses he goes down as the woke president fairly or unfairly if people acknowledge in the future that the left went through a weird phase this era. If Harris wins she becomes the perfect symbol for it even if her tenure in reality would've been more post-peak woke.

lol Biden is not going to be more well remembered than Bill Clinton, stop

The 90s were a great time for arts but being after the Cold War and pre 9/11 seems like one of the least eventful politically.

In that sense, sure, just as Dwight is not as well remembered as JFK or LBJ. Historians know the deal, though.

That's cool, but Im still waiting for VATS.
