  1. Yes, we are all better off (including the rest of the world) without the lying and corrupt orange one in office. John, maybe put your 45 blinders back on and go for more hunting at Murdo.

    1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 GASP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 GASP🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You got jokes!!!

    2. Agree with you. Trump did and continues to destroy the fabric of this great country. “Publicains are no longer the Grand Old Party

  2. Heck no we are not better off. Higher gas prices, heating prices, everything higher prices, less of product to buy, the Afgan disaster. I could go on and on.

    I don’t wish any president to fail as that means the USA fails, but Biden after only one year is in the top worst 5 presidents ever. That is saying a lot.

      1. Really? How so? Don’t give us the DFP opinions, give us solid facts and examples of how the “previous guy” was the worst president ever.

        ?????

        1. he/she can’t
          They judge feeling over facts. Their measurement is un-measurable.
          Can’t fix ——….

  3. Yes, much better off without Trump in office. He was the worst president in our history and the worst possible person to have as a president. Happy anniversary to being rid of him!

    2. He was one of the most effective in recent history.

      Negotiated better trade deals
      -Put China on notice
      -Developed a vaccine at record speed
      -Had the lowest unemployment rate in I think over 60 years
      -Lowest unemployment rate among blacks
      -Reached 4 % growth when every economist said it was impossible

  4. Worse off, because of energy costs and supply chain problems. The cost of everything has gone up, because of the energy costs of production and transportation. This has affected me personally.
    While my specialty medication used to be delivered to my door; as of this month it will now be delivered only as far as the UPS store, 15 miles away.
    I had to go to three different grocery stores last month to find ground ginger.
    Many store shelves are empty. While there is always some pet food to buy, when you feed them food they aren’t used to, cats throw up and dogs get diarrhea.
    Government Stimulus money has fueled inflation, discouraged people from working, and now its really hard to find a general contractor who can do necessary repairs.
    Little things add up, and are making life more difficult, so worse off.
    The only people who think they are better off are the loons who don’t care how bad things get, as long as Trump isn’t in the White House. So if they think they are better off, ask them what, exactly, has gotten better for them, because I bet they can’t think of anything, unless they own stock in Pet Stain solutions.

      1. Not when consider inflation
        Not when you consider the labor participation rate
        Not when you consider international affairs
        Not when you consider first time homebuyers
        Gas prises
        Food prise

        I can go on and on
        But your feelers are better. So glad

    2. what does Biden have to do with UPS?
      you have to be kidding me, what do you think those trucks run on, hot air?

      The cost of delivering everything has skyrocketed. I can’t believe you don’t get that. We have Biden’s energy policy to thank for that. So big surprise, services are being cut at the same time the cost of those services has risen.

      Empty shelves? the only thing the Secretary of Transportation knows about the subject is how to ride a bicycle.
      Again, the trucks which deliver those goods don’t run on hot air coming out of Washington. They are cutting back, requiring consumers to drive more.

  5. I am, but we’ve had a lot of setbacks to consider.

    1. We almost lost our democratic process in the country, imagine if the election results were thrown out and Trump would have stayed? We could be living in a dictatorship with him as ruler for the next era.
    2. The cheating to force partisan hacks on the the US SCOTUS just to allow more government mandates in place to force people to have kids is another overstep. At some point, the increase in population will need to be taken care of, enjoy the new burden.
    3. The party divide is increasing, and one side is pushing for a civil war. Hopefully the other side can just convince the side that wants to fight to just fight themselves. Quit listening to those “news” shows, the people spreading the lies don’t even believe them, but they know you are stupid enough to believe it.
    4. Gas prices will go up and down, I recall 10 years ago, prices were higher. If you don’t like companies price gouging us, the embrace socialism, or shut up.
    5. Nobody likes Biden, you aren’t owning the libs by saying he sucks, they know that too. The reality is, the majority of this country would have voted for anyone over the criminal Trump.

    1. so it’s not dictatorial to want mask and vaccine mandates?
      And you are being forced to have children? Who, exactly, is forcing you to have kids? I want to know how this works. Are children being dropped off at your door by armed CPS agents, who threaten to shoot you if you don’t accept them into your home? I had not heard that was happening, but it’s a good idea. Take all the immigrant children who are at the border and force them on people who don’t want them.

      1. 1. No it is not dictatorial to recommend a mask. I know you really want to feel like a holocaust survivor for having to wear a mask, but it isn’t the same thing. I know, this contradicts what your favorite “news” delivery heads present, but the rest of the world is laughing at you.
        2. If you get pregnant, don’t have money, you will be forced to have the baby. Get enough of them, it will increase your taxes because you can’t advocate for just the unborn, once they are born you are on the hook; healtcare, foster care, child care, education. Have fun with it.

        1. anonymous at 9:55 AM:
          I was not aware that after giving birth, government agents are forcing women to take the babies home with them.
          So let me understand this: you are saying that when a woman tells a hospital social worker she does not want to keep the baby, the social worker does not contact an adoption agency, she calls the police and has the mother arrested?

          Is that how you think this works?
          Are you unaware of the estimated 32 adoptive couples for every child who becomes available for adoption? (I could get into a discussion here of how the majority of children in foster care are NOT available for adoption, but your understanding of how any of this works is so bizarre that would take too long,)

  6. By every measurable value – yeah.
    Making more money, my stocks and 401K are up. The market is up by 10% over it’s peak before Biden was in office.
    Are gas and energy prices up? Yeah, but they fluctuate wildly. They are lower than they were at various points under either Bush or Obama and as we were reminded by Republicans under Bush and by Democrats under Obama the President has very little to do with the price of gas or the price of oil.
    Are the supply chain issues a problem? Yes. But working for a multinational company I can tell you that these have been brewing for years starting with the trade war with China that Trump started and continuing with the Pandemic. They absolutely are peaking now, but a large part of that is Chinese Manufacturing is down (and Biden has no way to make people in China work more), Indian Manufacturing is down (and again, Biden can’t make factories that have been shut down for two years suddenly open in another country), and there is a massive silicon shortage (which is overwhelmingly processed in China, Russian, and Brazil).
    Does Biden get extra credit for how he’s handled these issues? No – but I don’t think that anyone, especially President Trump, who was not ever described as a master diplomat, would be able to wave a magic wand to fix this issue.

    1. It is comical you trying to defend Biden. Biden is a disaster, he has ruined the economy and done nothing to help with covid. Trump handed him a slam dunk with the economy and covid potential wins, yet Biden could not deliver. All he does with his fellow democrats is give money away, no wonder no one wants to work.

      What’s funny is that even though Trump was a loud mouth, he was the most effective president we have had in a long time. He did more in 4 years than most presidents do in 8.

    2. “Making more money, my stocks and 401K are up. The market is up by 10% over it’s peak before Biden was in office.”

      You may want to revisit this one?

  8. I know the families of the 13 service members Biden killed on purpose in Afghanistan are not better off.
    I bet Ukraine wishes they had the billions of dollars of equipment he left to the enemy also.
    To defend this man is to defend stupidity.

    1. Your dear leader’s negotiations with the Taliban emboldened them.
      Your dear leader abandoned Ukraine because they wouldn’t fall for his extortion.
      Your dear leader is doing his best to rip your party apart.
      You’re defending him.
