The what? More like "the whims of an eighty year old in cognitive decline and those wishing to curry or keep his favor" - quite an expansive definition of "political decision making".
- dualvariable 3mo agoDon't forget the blatant grift and corruption.
- Alupis 3mo ago> More like "the whims of an eighty year old in cognitive decline..." The previous administration was totally not exactly what's described here...
- preg_match 3mo agoIt wasn’t. Biden largely didn’t do much. The trump administration does illegal things that get struck down in courts on a daily basis. We’re all very desensitized to it. But yes, Biden was old and cognitively not well. But his “whims” didn’t exist much, and they were always fairly reasonable. Trump is the most unreasonable president, most likely in US history. I would even categorize Andrew Jackson as more restrained.
- Alupis 3mo agoThe courts struck down many Biden policies as well. People just give those a pass because "SCOTUS is rigged" or something...
- amanaplanacanal 3mo agoThe only big one I remember is the college loan forgiveness thing.

- amanaplanacanal 3mo agoActually I probably just wasn't paying that much attention.
- the_gastropod 3mo agoAh, so those weren’t mostly 6-3 decisions along partisan lines?
