Great for more transparency.

Would have been better to see this with the previous administration to see what Biden really did during his time in office, or if he even did do anything significantly beneficial to the US other than funding more wars.



There's been transparency sources on the executive and legislative branches since the birth of the internet. If you need a pretty website to know that shit, that's on you.


People who don't have the really good brain should have easy access too.


Ah yes, the "why build Dropbox when we you can just use FTP, curlftpfs, and SVN" line of thinking ;-)

Have you tried doing research yourself to see what the Biden Administration did?

I was able to find this article from UCSB: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fact-sheet-the-bid....

Hopefully, this answers your question. Probably not the best source of information since citations are not right next to claims, but most of the claims seem easy to independently verify.


UCSB. One of the most liberal universities in the world. Seems like a potentially biased liberal source.

Title of article starts with the word “fact sheet”. Uh-oh red flag in my book. Reeks of elitism and overconfidence.

First paragraph starts by making excuses for Biden because there was an epidemic and labels it as a “historic” recovery.

Is that really the best you could come up with? How is this any better than a right wing rag starting off with the Hunter Biden story?


It's a "fact" sheet. Why would you not attack the facts? Seems pretty easy to prove your claims.


He launched the site during the Biden Administration (stated on his help page). Also, all information here is already accessible as linked on the bottom. Nothing has ever stopped you from knowing this information.

It’s time to stop blaming Biden. Your guy is in office now. Whatever happens it’s on him, not Biden. Let’s stop with that.


Some of us distrust both parties.


Read the post I’m responding to. Look carefully at the wording. That individual is suggesting something else.

Here’s an idea: if this was so sorely needed under Biden then they could have written one themselves just like OP did!


So now that Biden‘s been out of office for a week the effects of all his policies are null and void?


No, it is not. Instead of allowing the one-time Covid emergency spending to expire, your guy kept spending at that level. It will take time and effort to undo all that damage.


This sounds like an entry in the garbage can of excuses your side will use once he fails to implement the improvements that his voters were promised. Biden only had 4 years and a very strong opposition, with Trump he has a more "efficient" government full of yes men, having all three branches of government, plus the popular vote, there is no excuse anymore.


That underground vault of yours - where perspective and nuance are apparently on lockdown - must feel cramped in there with you juggling all these convenient talking points and doomsday predictions.

I invite you to finally come out in the sunlight, and get reacquainted with the real world—where things are never quite as simple as picking up a magic wand and saying ‘No excuses’

You may be tempted to keep the treasure trove of recycled grievances handy though. Just don’t be surprised if the rest of us have moved past the idea that entire policies can be passed overnight by waving a presidential scepter.

The rest of us might still be stuck here dealing with pesky details like budgets, compromise, and, oh... reality.

You should try emerging and enjoying a breath of fresh air; rumor has it oxygen can do wonders for one’s outlook.


Trump literally wants to buy Greenland.


No, not literally.

That was more like something he threw out for the clueless/media to get stuck on while he works unimpeded on everything else.


Yes, literally. Because he is that vain and stupid.


Whatever he says, it is working: it keeps people with your mindset angered/frustrated, not really able to think clearly.


My guy, if you can't tell by now that the man is a complete imbecile, then I don't know what to say to you.


Trump's in office now... you can go back to sleep.
