I'm thirty pages behind atm in this thread, but I thought it interesting to list what the first 60 days of Biden has brought us. I was kinda glum that the lulz would dissipate after Trump, but I'm feeling pretty good about the entertainment of ClownWorld again...
So, Biden's first 60 days (feel free to add or correct):
- Causes an international economic issue with Canada, destroying thousands of American jobs, with cancellation of Keystone Pipeline
- Signals opening of Mexican border, leading to (in some cases a reported 700%) rise of incarcerated children - “kids in cages”, and what his own press secretary called a “crisis”, then orders federal departments to circle the wagons against the media over the issue
- Destroys all levels of women’s and girl’s sports, opens bathrooms, change rooms, and women’s shelters to threats of male victimization
- Emboldens Iran’s support of Houthi in Yemen again
- Ramps up bombing and aggressive posture in Syria
- Tells Europe to bend the knee regarding Russian natural gas or BTFO
- Has his shit pushed in by North Korea, who don’t even show him the dignity of a formal response, but taunt him via the leader’s sister. Threatens hot war in response
- Gets led around by CCP diplomats in Alaska to make USA look ineffectual and incompetent
- Openly insults the Russian leader, who deftly turns it around and challenges him to a nice, peaceful debate, to which he essentially says “I can’t fight you right now, I have to go to my cello lesson, my mom is waiting.” Russia deploys submarines
- Disillusions Poland, Hungary, Brazil, and others over his legitimacy and efficacy
- Gets called out for his craziness by Israel
- Chastised by Turkey for remarks
- Calls his VP President
- Does not deliver a SOTU
- Does not take a press conference
- Wants pre-approved questions for a press conference, as well as charging admission to the press
- Is seen in a video of dubious legitimacy and pedigree where it is questionable he is competent enough to even refuse reporter questions, and may have doctored video
- Tries to reinstate Trump policy of having Mexico help enforce migrant flow, which he decried for years
- Causes a market response where gas prices rise dramatically
- Causes friction with Saudi Arabia regarding Khosoggi involvement of Saudi prince
- Foregoes usual policy of speaking to foreign leaders and instead delegates to his VP
- Lowers flags to half mast over minor event involving illegal sex workers, an honor which would only usually be bestowed upon a serious disaster, military or national figures
- Forgets the name of his Secretary of Defence and the name of the Pentagon
- Repeatedly falls down the staircase entering Air Force One, spun as a 14 mph breeze having knocked him down
- Expels pot users from staff
- Losing all trade gains made under Trump with China
- Ford says fuck off and moves many jobs to Mexico
- Fails spectacularly to deliver an immediate $2000 aid cheque to Americans. Backtracks, and after 50 days, a watered down version, significantly lower and with more taxation and less protection coverage is released
- Uses one of the most evasive and ill-prepared press secretaries in recent history
- Immediately signals his acceptance of the Paris Accords without any concessions
- Immediately signals his acceptance of the Iran Nuclear deal without any concessions
- Capitol becomes a defacto “green zone” in a war zone
- Has dog expelled from White House for attacking Secret Service
