100 Days Masking Challenge
"pwetty plwese wear a mask 🥺 " weak shit man
More miles of "the wall" were built under the Obama administration than under Trump. In fact, the wall has been in construction since Congress/Bush enacted the Secure Fence Act in '06.
The Biden administration and their friends in the media believe that they have been a "government in exile" since Obama left. All they want to do is the same sick shit 2nd term Obama was doing.
2012-2016 was after Libyan intervention and involved Iran Nuclear Deal, minimal foreign policy, Cuban Thaw, Paris Agreement, Afghanistan decline, protecting Kurds from ISIL, etc.
And Yemen was all on his 2nd term. My point being that these guys are never a "net good" and framing his presidency like that is a liberal take of the highest order. Cuba, Iran, and the Paris agreement are "good" things in that they are better than what was there before, but Obama was overall still an imperialist who protected American hegemony the same way every president does: death and destruction. Framing his second term as a "net good" is exactly how people justify imperialism. I can't tell you how many people I've met who have said "Yeah US wars are bad, but overall the world is better off with the US than without it."
The office of the US President is incapable of global good without dismantling their own power.
describing the entire Yemeni Civil War as a manifestation purely of Obama's willpower is disrespectful to the factions actually struggling for power there. Sure the US Special Forces did a raid or two targeting ISIL there doesn't mean the entire situation is some kind of false flag for American imperialism.
Perhaps I am optimistic here but US Foreign Policy is pretty much dead at this point going forward. The USA just isn't in a position anymore to conduct a new War on China or Russia or Iran.
That's why the Democrats and the Republicans both had unknown, firery populist challengers do so well in the 2016 presidential primaries. Everything was so happy and good.
haha yes, biden definitely didn't have a role in the border wall...

"I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won't like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence,” Biden said at the time. "But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high, unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and — and you will not like this, and — punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing."
"Now, I know I'm not supposed to say it that bluntly, but they're the facts, they're the facts,” Biden continued. “And so everything else we do is in between here. Everything else we do is at the margins. And the reason why I add that parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed, does not have anything to do with immigration as much as drugs. And let me tell you something, folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico.”
Well Biden's actual policy goals of "I wanna gut your budget with a machete" isnt very catchy.
Oh look halting the massive expansion of ICE in favor of a steady means-tested expansion of ICE
Extends the existing nationwide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures until at least March 31
okay, that's decent. March 31 is weak shit but at least it's something
Extends the existing pause on student loan payments and interest for Americans with federal student loans until at least September 30
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOAN CANCELLATION, JOE
Cancels the Keystone XL pipeline and directs agencies to review and reverse more than 100 Trump actions on the environment
Surprised this one is happening considering Obama was all for it, feel like it's a trap somehow. "We're cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline and building the Keystone XXL pipeline!"
Prevents workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity
I thought the supreme court literally did this already, am i misremembering? I remember memeing about how now you can't "officially" be fired for being trans, but you'll just be fired for being 5 min late or "not being a good culture fit" because our shitty country has no labor protections.
Requires non-citizens to be included in the Census and apportionment of congressional representatives
Good but again, thought judges had already ruled that
Reverses the Trump administration's restrictions on US entry for passport holders from seven Muslim-majority countries
This is unironically good, assuming for some cursed reason you want to come to amerikkka. Regardless, discrimination based on religion is fucked and it should end.
Undoes Trump's expansion of immigration enforcement within the United States
No details which means the concentration camps remain.
Halts construction of the border wall by terminating the national emergency declaration used to fund it
Okay i mean, good. It's a waste of time and money.
Requires executive branch appointees to sign an ethics pledge barring them from acting in personal interest and requiring them to uphold the independence of the Department of Justice
This will mean nothing but the libs will like it.
Extends deferrals of deportation and work authorizations for Liberians with a safe haven in the United States until June 30, 2022
Good for liberians i guess lol, didn't realize this was an issue.
tl;dr - he says no keystone xl pipeline and will end the muslim travel ban and that's about it.
Say is the college amnesty part of it? Could be good during a pandemic, you know.
What do the no/yes mean?
I see, those are reversals of things Trump just did
