Have you been declared as totally insane, by your medical provider. Trump lives freely in your head, controlling your every thought. Not one post can show up that you don't make it about change it to anti-Trump.
When are you going to understand politics is about Policies, not personalities. It should be obvious to you by now that policies from Biden have failed. It is all about what they do, does it help or hurt, and Biden has been a total failure. Let me give you an small but important example.
Trump signed into action a policy ( executive order 13948), that all drugs sold in the US, would be sold at the lowest price that each drug was sold anyplace in the world. Our drug prices would be as low as anyplace. This would lower our drug prices but allow free enterprise to still set prices. Awesome policy!
Biden's first week canceled that drug policy, filling his pocket with money from drug companies, he is not about policies to help Americans. I question, how much money Biden got from the drug companies. He turned good goverment policy into to shit.
It is not about Trump, it is about policy.
Now Joe Manchin comes along and says NO to wasteful spending, thinks inflation needs to be addressed. And wants reducing pharmaceutical cost and trimming federal red ink, first. Of course any good would be in the details, but the goal would be good policy. Like the policy, not the person.
I think Manchin made Biden crap his Depends again.
But you have your head up your ass and cannot see what is good for the country. All you can see is Trump. You have become the most valued usefull idiot. Any lie told about Trump you jump up and down with joy! Six years of lie after lie with NO PROGRESS, toward your half taking him down, you should have learned.
IT IS NOT ABOUT TRUMP, IT IS ABOUT POLICY, POLICY THAT WORKS.

I'm used to your emotional outbursts and rants. You're become akin to Old Guy?
Yes, lately it is all about Trump ... Why?
He is on every single news page
He tried to overthrow our government
He may face indictent by our own DOJ
Georgia is investigating him for a possible indictment
He's facing charges in NY for Tax Fraud
He's facing likely indictments...
He has people like you, sick in the head, think he actually won
He has divided this country with the most blatant lies and has no problem eroding democracy because of his ego at the expesne of this country
He has you out to be his puppet and useful idiot ...
So, forgive me if I'm pointing out the obivous ... Oh, and that he is talking about running again.
You, unfortunatley, come off as delusional and as a master projector - You project project project. All you can do is talk about whatever is wrong in the world and blame it on Biden. That's all you're capable of doing. Your mind has no other dimensions to it other than that. So, suggest if you can't handle the heat and the truth about Trump, then go elsewhere...becuase I'm going to keep on talking about him until he's either in Jail or is not running again.
So, before you lecture anyone on here about needing help, you need to take a hard long look at the mirror, for I have rarely in my life met someone as delusional and emotionally disturbed as you.

Are you really that stupid, yes you are.!
He on every page because you and ther useful idiots put him
Did not try to overthrow the government, just your talking point! The Jan 6 committee can't prove it, just made up bullshit.
Will not get indicted, must do something illegal to get indicted.
Georgia does have a investigation on going. Did you know that the order establishing the grand jury does not even mention Trumps name. They are investigating just about everything, including election officials.
There are no charges in NY for fraud, just a political ploy. Are they going to charge him for estimated value on a estimated financial report, what's joke.
There are people like you with you head up your ass , can't see the light.
It is easy to blame Biden, NOT ONE THiNG HE HAS DONE HAS BEEN GOOD! Complete Failure.
sure, you must keep up posting about Trump, because yu can't post about Biden.
Please go ahead and tell us about his cancellation of equal drug costs was good for Americans?
These are Proven Facts that he Did attempt to Overthrow our Government... +5/-1

Old Dude, we know what your position and your defense are, you believe that because donnie "Thought" that there was fraud in the election, taking these steps were perfectly legitimate. So that in fact he wasn't trying to overthrow the government, he was trying to show that there was fraud and he actually won. That argument is equal to walking up to someone on the sidewalk in front of your home and shooting them dead and then telling the police officers that you "Thought" this person was robbing your home, when the police tell you that this person was just walking their dog down the sidewalk, you say but I "Thought" this person was robbing my home. Sorry, but the system just doesn't work that way.
There are plenty of legal ways donnie could have addressed his perceived issues through the courts, which of course he did try, but they rejected his claims due to lack of legitimate proof. At that point it doesn't matter what donnie "Thought" and he has no right to do what he did, which was taking steps like the five listed below to forcefully attempt to overthrow the government.
These are the public things that he did and fully admitted to doing, there were many more steps taken that weren't public, they were behind closed doors with his inner circle, many of which have been coming to light of late.
The facts are the facts Old Dude, as much as you hate them and you want to somehow try and twist or bend them into something they are not. He will likely never pay the deserved price he should pay for what he did, I know that. But he can never change the facts of what he did and what actually happened, because those things are perfectly clear...
1. Trump tried to pressure secretaries of state to not certify.
Trump held early leads in vote counts in several states—not because he was ever actually ahead but because of discrepancies between when states count mail-in ballots and Election Day ballots. This so-called blue shift was written about long in advance of Election Day, and was partially the result of Trump’s own attacks on voting by mail. Nevertheless, Trump made this a key part of his election conspiracy theories (as many predicted he would), insisting that Democrats were somehow inserting fraudulent ballots into the vote count in the presidential election (something they apparently forgot to do in close House and Senate races, in which Democrats did worse than polls had anticipated). To help substantiate these falsehoods, the Trump campaign attempted to pressure secretaries of state to either not certify the results or “find” fraudulent ballots. In some states, spurred by the president’s fictions, pro-Trump mobs showed up at vote-counting sites and attempted to disrupt the proceedings.
2. Trump tried to pressure state legislatures to overturn the results.
Trump personally attempted to coerce state legislators to overturn election results in a few states that voted for Biden, on the dubious legal theory that such legislatures could simply ignore the results of the popular vote in their own states. In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia, Trump publicly urged Republican-controlled statehouses to “intervene to declare him the winner” and tweeted, “Hopefully the Courts and/or Legislatures will have the COURAGE to do what has to be done to maintain the integrity of our Elections, and the United States of America itself.” As my colleague Barton Gellman reported last year, the Trump campaign discussed “contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority.”
3. Trump tried to get the courts to overturn the results.
The embattled attorney general of Texas, Ken Paxton, filed an absurd lawsuit demanding that the Supreme Court void the election results in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, four states Biden won. The large majority of the Republican delegation in Congress, as well as nearly 20 Republican state attorneys general, supported this attempt to get the conservative-controlled Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election results by fiat. The justices declined to crown Trump—but the amount of support this bid received from Republican elected officials is itself alarming.
As part of this effort, we can include the baseless “Kraken” lawsuits, filled with conspiracy theories about vote changes. Trump attempted to coerce the Justice Department into providing him with a pretext to overturn the results, but his attorney general, Bill Barr, refused to do so. Had DOJ leadership acquiesced, it would have lent credibility to Trump’s other corrupt schemes to reverse his loss. In a meeting with the acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, according to contemporaneous notes taken by Rosen’s deputy, Trump said, “Just say that the election was corrupt [and] leave the rest to me.”
4. Trump tried to pressure Mike Pence to overturn the results.
It is hard to pick the most ridiculous means of executing a coup, but insisting that the vice president has the power to unilaterally decide who won an election is up there. Trump publicly hounded Pence to reject the results prior to the traditionally ceremonial electoral-vote count in Congress, and Pence reportedly took that demand seriously enough to seek advice from Dan Quayle on the matter, “asking if there were any grounds to pause the certification because of ongoing legal challenges,” according to Costa and Woodward. That this got so far is profoundly disturbing, but even more disturbing is Eastman’s memo, which shows that the Trump team had thought very deliberately about how this scheme would work.
According to the memo, Pence could refuse to certify the results in particular states, giving Trump more electoral votes than Biden, and Pence would declare Trump the victor. If Democrats objected (as surely they would), the vote would then go to the House. Because the Constitution gives one vote to each state in disputed presidential elections, and the Republicans were the majority in 26 of 50 state delegations, the Democratic House majority would be unable to prevent Republicans from throwing the election to Trump. The election-law expert Ned Foley writes that the scheme would likely not have prevailed, given the Democrats’ ability to prevent a joint session, but that seems almost beside the point, which is that a sitting president and vice president were considering how to keep themselves in power following an election they lost.
5. When all else failed, Trump tried to get a mob to overturn the results.
At the rally prior to the vote count in Congress, Trump urged the crowd to act, saying, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” The explicit goal of the rally and subsequent riot was to pressure Congress, and Pence in particular, into overturning the election results. Trump told his followers, “If Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election.”
This scheme didn’t work on its own, but it certainly could have helped one of the others: Imagine if Pence had gone along with Eastman’s absurd plan, and a mob had been present at the Capitol to help enforce the decision and menace lawmakers who tried to oppose it—then what? As it stands, the mob ransacked the Capitol and forced lawmakers to flee. Had the mob succeeded at reaching any actual legislators, the consequences could have been catastrophic.

You are a patriotic American citizen, yes? Should, would you try to stop a mob attacking the capitol? Trump did not, there is evidence that he gleefully watched the riot, waited 3 hours, 4? Or more before even saying anything to temper the crazy mob's wrath.
A mob with the stated intent to stop the certification process of a presidential election? Suppose the certification process had been interrupted. Where would America be? Essentially just another tin-pot republic with a 'president for life' of the week.
That process, the election and the peaceful transfer of power is the essential point of the American political system.
Today, Joe Biden wraps up his first year as President. For the last 12 months, President Biden has been grappling with the unenviable task of curtailing the ongoing COVID pandemic, restoring a waning economy, and solving the country's entrenched and divisive social issues.
It has been a taxing year for the President, who has led his administration through a year of notable ups-and-downs.
Nonetheless, the 46th resident of the White House has reason to be proud of his first year at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as despite the series of obstacles and challenges, Biden's administration has also achieved marked success.
As his freshman year draws to a close, Newsweek looks back on his major achievements over the last year.
One of Biden's flagship victories of the last year was the approval of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package which drastically increased investment in the national network of bridges and roads, airports, public transport, national broadband internet, as well as waterways and energy systems.
The bipartisan bill was passed by the House in November by 228 votes to 206, with 13 Republicans breaking ranks to join the Democrats in support of the bill. Biden initially released the proposed bill in March, which was first approved by the Senate in August.
In a White House statement released at the time, the Biden administration claimed the bill would help tackle growing inflation by easing supply chain disruptions.
In a video Tweeted on November 8, Biden said: "We're doing so much with this legislation. It's going to make it easier for companies to get goods to market more quickly and reduce supply chain bottlenecks, now and for decades to come."
2) The $1.9 trillion COVID relief deal
In March, the Biden administration passed a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package designed to help the country combat the ongoing COVID pandemic.
The package provided direct payments of up to $1,400 to many struggling U.S. citizens, temporarily extended unemployment support by $300 per week, channeled approximately $20 billion into the COVID vaccination program, as well as providing $25 billion in rental support and a further $350 billion into state, tribal and local relief efforts.
The legislation was also designed to tackle child poverty and nutritional issues across the country. The bill invested almost $30 billion in restaurants and hospitality and raised the maximum Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program support by 15 percent. Additionally, an extra $120 billion were invested into K-12 schools across the nation.
Additionally, 209 million Americans have received the full dose of the COVID vaccination and 249 million — 74 percent of the U.S. population — have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
3) Highest appointment of federal judges since Reagan
Biden has appointed 41 federal judges in his opening year at the White House. This is more than double those appointed by his predecessor Donald Trump and is the most a president has appointed in their freshman year since Ronald Reagan in 1981.
The president has also been mindful of issues of representation in his appointments over the last year, as 80 percent of the new federal judges are women and 53 percent are people of color.
In the long run, the federal judiciary's new look could have a lasting effect, as the lower courts are believed to be the trial stage for future Supreme Court contenders.
Since he was sworn in last January, Biden has nominated a total of 73 individuals to federal judgeships.
4) Halt on Federal Executions
President Biden is an opponent of the federal penalty and therefore reinstated a national freeze on federal executions, which had been in place for 17 years until former president Donald Trump ended the pause.
In July, the Biden administration opted to restore the pre-Trump status quo and imposed a suspension on federal executions while the Department of Justice assesses the existing procedures and policies.
The pause does not enable the President to halt executions at state level, though the Biden administration has vowed to eradicate capital punishment at federal level.
Prior to Biden's pause, there had been 13 federal executions under Trump.
5) Commitment to Combating Climate Change
During his presidential campaign and since taking office, Biden has been a vocal supporter of the need for a greater effort to tackle the climate crisis.
Shortly after coming to power, Biden re-joined the international Paris Climate Accord, which Trump had parted ways with, allowing the U.S. to continue to work with global players in the worldwide drive to deter the climate's deterioration.
Last November, the President joined an additional agreement aimed at reversing deforestation as well as presenting a 100-country strong pledge to reduce greenhouse emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030.
Additionally, in December, Biden ordered all government agencies to immediately halt the financing of new international carbon-intensive fossil fuel projects, and instead work towards clean energy use.
Despite the Biden administration's commitment to tackling the climate crisis, the U.S. did not sign a global pledge designed to end the use of coal power that was announced at the COP26 summit.
6) Support for Transgender Service Members
Within his first week at the White House, Biden issued an executive order to overturn Trump-era ban on openly transgender members of the U.S. military.
The original ban was first announced by Trump during his first year in power, as the former president tweeted that the U.S. military would cease to allow trangender Americans from serving in the military, claiming it imposed "tremendous medical costs and disruption".
Trump's ban came into effect in April 2019, existing transgender personnel remained in service but new recruits were turned back.According to the Department of Defence data analyzed by the non-profit group Palm Center, there were approximately 8,980 active transgender troops in service in 2019.
Biden's repeal represents a considerable step forward in the fight for transgender rights in the U.S., though has not been considered as pivotal as Barack Obama's 2010 decision to overturn the longstanding Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
7) Reduced unemployment
The Biden administration has also been faced with the challenge of restoring a semblance of normalcy to an economy burdened by the pandemic. In his freshman year, Biden has managed to reduce the rate of national unemployment.
In December, the national unemployment rate dropped to 3.9 percent while jobless claims sunk to their lowest levels since 1969. When Biden took office, the unemployment rate stood at 6.3 percent.
Despite the growing inflation, wages paid by private businesses also saw an increase of 2.4 percent from January through October last year, while disposable income rose by 3 percent.

Budha is long gone in the mental illness department.
His entire existence is based on emotion.
Unlike the typical TrumpeRINO frog boy? Who opens his mouth, closes his eyes, and swallows whatever is offered without examination?
But as the typical lib does, he accuses others of using emotion.
Absolutely no rational thought present in the Jabnuary 6 mob- incited by incidiary speeches to:
“And we fight. We fight like hell And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing … We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about … We will stop the steal.”
“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has finally conceded the 2020 election to president-elect Joe Biden in a new video condemning his violent supporters who stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday.
In the statement posted to Twitter, Trump declined to mention Biden by name or explicitly admit he'd lost the election, instead saying now that Congress has certified the election results, the "new administration will be inaugurated on January 20" and his focus now turns to "ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power."
Just like that evil witch Pelosi says all the time. If you vote for republicans, it will end our democracy. What a loon.
