HOW BIDEN'S BIGGEST WINS COMPARE
• American Rescue Plan Act. This coronavirus and economic relief bill, passed by a party-line vote, provided direct stimulus checks, extended unemployment insurance, temporarily expanded the child tax credit and provided aid to states and localities.
• Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This bipartisan law invests in water, energy and broadband infrastructure.
• Inflation Reduction Act. This law, passed by a party-line vote, includes provisions that allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices, extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, address climate change and impose higher taxes on the largest corporations.
• Chips and Science Act. This bipartisan measure offers support for domestic semiconductor manufacturing, research and development.
• Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Passed in the wake of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, this law expands background checks for people younger than 21; increases funding for mental health services; closes the "boyfriend loophole" for firearm purchases by those who have been convicted of domestic violence; and offers funding for states to implement firearms confiscation laws for those determined by a court to be a significant danger to themselves or others.
OTHER LEGISLATION SIGNED BY BIDEN
More quietly, Biden has signed an array of bills that passed with significant bipartisan backing.
• Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics, or PACT, Act. Widens veterans’ health benefits for those who experienced harmful environmental exposures during military service, including hazardous waste burn pits.
• Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which had lapsed, and two bills addressing sex abuse.
• National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, which included a pay increase for service members.
• COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, which addresses attacks on Asian Americans partly by increasing access to the reporting of hate crimes and expediting the review of hate crimes related to COVID-19.
• Postal Service Reform Act, which repeals a pre-funding requirement for postal retirement benefits that had been a financial albatross.
• Ocean Shipping Reform Act, which funds increased oversight of international ocean carriers.
• Several bills levying sanctions, including the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act; the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, and a ban on imports from the region of China where the Chinese government is widely believed to be repressing the Uyghur ethnic minority.
• Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which makes lynching a federal hate crime.
• Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, designating a federal holiday for Juneteenth, marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans on June 19 every year.
• State and Local Government Cybersecurity Act of 2021, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to bolster collaboration with state, local, tribal and territorial governments on cybersecurity.
• Several bills on crime and policing, including the Public Safety Officer Support Act of 2022, the Homicide Victims’ Families’ Rights Act of 2021, the Capitol Police Emergency Assistance Act of 2021 and the Supreme Court Police Parity Act of 2022.
The Senate also approved a treaty backed by the Biden administration to phase out certain chemicals used in refrigeration that are considered a risk for climate change.
OTHER BIDEN POLICIES THAT DIDN'T DEPEND ON LEGISLATION
As president, Biden has also enacted policies by executive action, without Congress. Here are some of the bigger ones:
Get COVID-19 under control. While the coronavirus is still killing nearly 400 Americans a day, deaths and hospitalizations have been largely steady at today’s level since April 2022, which is far below previous peaks of 2,000 to 3,000 deaths per day.
Establish new fuel economy standards. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set new fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, mandating higher targets for new cars and light trucks for model years 2023 to 2026.
Rejoin the Paris climate agreement. The United States rejoined the Paris Agreement, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% from where they were in 2005 by the year 2030.
By the way, I don't know where you've been, but, Trump served only one term and lost to Biden when he ran for a second term (regardless of his lies or Trumpsters dumb assertions). He won't have a chance to run again until 2024 and, as far as I am concerned, never. We'll see about that"red wave".
until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws."
NOT the last.
Bad behavior comes from going to school and not being disciplined after doing wrong.
A couple wacks on the ass of a 10 year old will usually be enough to take away that desire to steal or fail to respect the teacher or etc.
NOTE I DID NOT SAY BEAT the chi1d, I said a couple wacks with the paddle. When I was in school, the simple fact you were taken out in the hall and paddled embarrassed you, it made you feel small ,and you didn't want to feel that way again, so you didn't do whatever it was that got you paddled again. Simple deterrent.
Do conservatives want law enforcers to despise people?
It would explain a lot.
I read Ananas'es quote and find it to be true. If the powers that be can't respect the people they are sworn to protect, then, it can't be expected that they would receive their respect. And before you get your tail feathers all rilled up, you know there are bad actors in the law enforcement units throughout this country.
We need them, and we need them to do the job.But we need people smart enough not to leave a cuffed suspect in a police car parked on a railroad track to.

BUT actually ,as citizens we should demand that our government hire intelligent people to do the job that have common sense and reasoning capability's ABOVE those of the criminals so they can do a better job of PREVENTING crime and SOLVEING crime. you know the job we as the citizens expect of them?
"gee, let's chase this woman in her pickup truck until she finally stops, then I will park my car on the rail road track and cuff and stuff her in it to be killed by a train for showing a gun to another driver."
"gee ,this guy keeps whining he can't breath while sitting in a air conditioned police car, let me drag him out and put my knee on his neck to help him out?"
You know as well as I do there are some dems that don't work as you would like to see them do.
And there are some repubs that are fruit loops to like that 1 that got voted off that was on the jan 6 thing.
My experience BEFORE biden and that for the country was better.
So for me,based on my experience, the repubs are the lesser of the 2 evils.
Most law-abiding citizens just don't want the risk of being killed by police to creep up to the same risk level of being killed by a mass shooter.
At least you are allowed to protect yourself against a mass shooter, you can't protect yourself against a fascist pig cop. Even being white is failing against them now.
Fuck off cunt!
his loss,not mine,
