pulling troops out of Afghanistan turned out to be a disaster

He also let millions of people cross into this country illegally.  Oh wait, that means he gets more votes.

no no.. you don't get to move the goalposts .. i gave you 5 legit and 1 tongue in cheek answer .. move on.. challenge complete

Disingenuous at best.

reduced insulin cost to a maximum of $35/month

For seniors on Medicare. As far as I can tell, any other cost savings for anyone else are purely voluntary by big pharma companies. The way I'm reading it, big pharma can raise those prices anytime they want. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

pardoned all federal marijuana possession convictions

A senior administration official told reporters in an Oct. 6 press call that “there are no individuals currently in federal prison solely for simple possession of marijuana.” Therefore, there's no one to release.

cancelled up to 20k of federal student loan debt (pending stupid challenges)

This will most likely be deemed unconstitutional, as it should be. However, there's a chance that it might not be. So you should probably hold off on any praise you give Biden.

pulled troops out of afghanistan

LMFAO, when Biden fucked up the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Didn't you guys go into damage control and say that the withdrawal was originally Trump's doing. Going by that logic, Trump gets credit for plan to leave Afghanistan and Biden gets credit for fucking it up.

passed a huge infrastructure bill to fix bridges and roads and stuff

Yep, he passed a huge spending bill. I'm not sure I would call that a huge accomplishment. It's not the first and won't be the last spending bill passed.

If you want to enjoy the parks without crowds then go after Labor Day week until the week of Thanksgiving. Anytime kids are in school parents aren't traveling. After Thanksgiving can be ok but Christmas time can be pretty crazy. The week of Christmas to New Years is definitely a no-no. After New Years until the Daytona 500 is the best as it is typically cool and crowds are at their smallest.

I was probably the bad neighbor.

^ While it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen, I just don't agree that there isn't a place for it.

There are "small c" conservatives out there, libertarian-types, etc. -- they don't want Trump's bullshit, but they also don't wan Ron's culture war bullshit.  Where are they supposed to go?

I don't think they'd win.  But it's a part of the party that isn't represented.  Where are the Ron Paul voters going?  What is left for Goldwater Republicans?

But I am starting to question whether or not there will be an Anti-Trump out there.  The position is ripe for the taking but there's nobody to do it.

You might as well be asking for a pro-choice candidate or a pro-immigration candidate in the GOP primary.  There is no room whatsoever for an anti-Trump candidate at the national level of the GOP; such a candidate would be drawing dead from day 1, and would have a hard time clearing any sort of polling bar to get on stage for a debate.

I listened to a very interesting science podcast about the lab leak vs. occurred in nature theory and why different organizations believe different things and how they come to those ideas.

I'm probably not going to do it justice, but you can look at a situation through the virus itself -- like, the evolution of the actual proteins that are shared with other strains -- scientists are doing this.  Their belief is that it is naturally occurring from an animal.  This has been suggested since the beginning for them, but they were missing the specific case and they think they have found it with the racoon dog.  It is the likeliest scenario for them and the racoon dog is the best proof they've had yet, so this new news makes them incredibly confident.


Whereas, the branches that are supporting the lab leak theory are approaching the problem like an investigative reporter.  They're interviewing people, making inferences based on testimony, looking at motivations, ..looking at leaked documents, etc. etc -- and they think it's from the lab itself because the lab is close by.  It's the way they'd try to track down spycraft and espionage, for example. 

I am starting to wonder if there will be a third person.  I thought we'd get Desantis, Trump, Other. 

Trump, Trump Lite, Anti-Trump...if you will.

But I am starting to question whether or not there will be an Anti-Trump out there.  The position is ripe for the taking but there's nobody to do it.  Desantis is running a the Kirkland brand of Trump.  Will there be someone like Romney (I don't think it will be Romney) that will stand up and be like "Trump is bad and I won't support him if he's the nominee" and try to run a more traditional Republican campaign?  I'm starting to doubt it.
