Callidus Posted Thursday at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:17 PM 1 minute ago, TerryBoats said: I was waiting on the other guy to reply, but maybe you can look at this entry which begins in the second main paragraph - the general overview, not any subsection - of Donald Trump's Wikipedia entry and explain how this qualifies as "bipartisan": "During his first presidency, Trump imposed a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries, expanded the Mexico–United States border wall, and enforced a family separation policy on the border. He rolled back environmental and business regulations, signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and appointed three Supreme Court justices. In foreign policy, Trump withdrew the U.S. from agreements on climate, trade, and Iran's nuclear program, and initiated a trade war with China. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020, he downplayed its severity, contradicted health officials, and signed the CARES Act. After losing the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, Trump attempted to overturn the result, culminating in the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021. He was impeached in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, and in 2021 for incitement of insurrection; the Senate acquitted him both times. In 2023, Trump was found liable in civil cases for sexual abuse and defamation and for business fraud. He was found guilty of falsifying business records in 2024, making him the first U.S. president convicted of a felony. After winning the 2024 presidential election against Kamala Harris, he was sentenced to a penalty-free discharge, and two felony indictments against him for retention of classified documents and obstruction of the 2020 election were dismissed without prejudice. A racketeering case related to the 2020 election in Georgia is pending. Trump began his second presidency by initiating mass layoffs of federal workers. He imposed tariffs on nearly all countries at the highest level since the Great Depression and signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. His administration's actions—including intimidation of political opponents and civil society, reversal of pro-diversity policies, targeting of transgender people, deportations of immigrants, extensive use of executive orders, and his broad interpretation of the unitary executive theory—have drawn over 300 lawsuits challenging the legality and constitutionality of the actions. Since 2015, Trump's leadership style and political agenda—often referred to as Trumpism—have reshaped the Republican Party's identity. Many of his comments and actions have been characterized as racist or misogynistic, and he has made false or misleading statements and promoted conspiracy theories to a degree unprecedented in American politics. Trump's actions, especially in his second term, have been described as authoritarian and contributing to democratic backsliding. After his first term, scholars and historians ranked him as one of the worst presidents in American history." I quit reading after the first paragraph because its all stuff that happened, did you want them to use the offical names for the stuff he did instead of a quick overview of what the policies did? Im guessing you want them to explain what his reasoning was so it doesn't look the way it does. Also, what does it say about his policies that just seeing them listed makes you think its an attack on him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that there's not a single negative thing to say about the man, other than the wrong opinion of the public that he was a bad president because historians and scholars said otherwise! As president, Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recession. He signed bipartisan bills on infrastructure and manufacturing. Biden proposed the Build Back Better Act, aspects of which were incorporated into the Inflation Reduction Act that he signed into law in 2022. He appointed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States. In his foreign policy, the U.S. reentered the Paris Agreement and enacted the New Atlantic Charter. Biden oversaw the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops that ended the war in Afghanistan, leading to the Taliban seizing control. He responded to the Russian invasion of Ukraine by imposing sanctions on Russia and authorizing aid to Ukraine. During the Gaza war, Biden condemned the actions of Hamas as terrorism, strongly supported Israel, and sent limited humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. A temporary ceasefire proposal he backed was adopted shortly before his presidency ended. Concerns about Biden's age and health persisted throughout his presidency. He became the first president to turn 80 years old while in office. He began his presidency with majority support, but saw his approval ratings decline significantly throughout his presidency, partially due to public frustration over inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 before dropping to 2.9% by the end of his presidency. Biden initially ran for reelection and, after the Democratic primaries, became the party's presumptive nominee in the 2024 presidential election. After his performance in the first presidential debate, renewed scrutiny from across the political spectrum about his age and health led him to withdraw his candidacy. In 2022 and 2024, Biden's administration was ranked favorably by historians and scholars, diverging from unfavorable public assessments of his tenure. He is the oldest living former U.S. president and the oldest person to have served as president. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted Thursday at 03:28 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:28 PM (edited) 3 hours ago, OILERMAN said: The Titans not only currently have the highest full season SOS .562 (hardest schedule) but have also easily played the hardest schedule through the first 8 weeks. Through the first 8 weeks they are the only team above .600 SOS sitting at .633. If you want a partial explanation apart from Drake Maye why the Patriots turnaround has been so rapid they are on track to have the 2nd easiest schedule in NFL history. Through 8 weeks their SOS sits at .344 and full season .354. They also play 10 games against teams that are currently projected to pick inside the top 10 in the 2026 Draft.

Bongo59 Posted Thursday at 03:30 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:30 PM All true but Ward is still making a lot of mistake and leaving a lot on the bone. I want him to keep throwing the rock to the young guys and I want Pollard sitting and letting Spears be the pass catching dual threat he should have been from day one.

Thats jist him signing congressional work. Signed another bill, again, just signing something. Proposed the build it back better act. Ok, now he did something, however it didnt all get passed and they dont say anything on what it was. Appointed someone to the supream court, said the same for trump but that he appointed multiple and didnt list names. Reentered the paris agreement, same as what it said for trump but backwards. "Biden oversaw the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops that ended the war in Afghanistan, leading to the Taliban seizing control." - Idk who would say this sounds heroic. Responded to a war by sending aid to an ally, normal stuff. Condemed hamas and supported Israel, sent some aid. Hardly a ringing endorsement of what was done. Just facts and a small shot at him not sending enough aid if you want to read it that way. Signed a crappy cease-fire as he left office that did nothing. What are you trying to read into as some grand love fest for biden? This is about as a bland list of things as the man himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're pretending to be retarded by not noticing the difference in the content between the two presidents - what they included, what they excluded, etc. - in order to simp for a bunch of politicians, that's just sad. Amazing how in Biden's Wiki, they didn't include his DOJ prosecuting a bunch of old people - including a Holocaust Concentration Camp survivor - and sentencing some to years in prison for praying in front of an abortion clinic, attempting to throw his main political opponent in prison, the record high illegal immigration, his opposition to desegregation in which he claimed he didn't want his kids growing up on a "racial jungle", the mishandling of classified documents, the rape accusations, and many other facts which are in the same spirit of Trump's entry and could have easily been included. Just a boring, regular old politician. While for some reason, those things were necessary for Trump. I wonder why! Jamalisms 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did it for the trump list from a pro trump point of view I would assume its a list of mostly positives. Obviously each person has different views on each individual thing but he did alot of stuff people wanted. I have tslked to plenty of people who said taking kids away from their parents at the boarder was a good thing. To me thats insane, but they thought it was a fantastic way to deter people.

Ill leave it at that. "Taking away kids from their parents at the border" is a largely biased and low IQ account of what happened, as DNA tests proved that tens of thousands of children weren't even related to the people with whom they were traveling and were subjected to human trafficking, thereby justifying the policy. And it's nothing compared to the way the last administration treated undocumented children, which was somehow omitted from the Wiki as well: "The audit found that between 2019 and 2023, ICE transferred more than 448,000 unaccompanied children to the Department of Health and Human Services. After the children were released from the department's custody, ICE struggled to track the whereabouts of many of them. During this period, more than 32,000 children missed scheduled immigration court hearings, and ICE was unable to determine their locations." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
