Just is your criteria for a good president? If not deliverables, just popularity?
Did you give back your tax cut because Trump lacked class?
And Jimmy Carter, he only lusted in his heart. Why was he bad?

I want the guy who speaks softly but carries a big stick.

Trump delivered nothing. He was/is a horrible businessman. His few successes in business and politics were made by stumbling into them.

Gotta give the guy credit though. His whole life, his only goal was to put the TRUMP name everywhere he could...and then he ****ing actually became PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Can't stamp your name on history any better than that.

Is that how Jesus did it?

The left has replaced Jesus with an idol of themselves answerable only to themselves.

Wouldn’t know. I am not ‘of the left’. I typically vote Republican and have so for almost 40 years.

you don't an opinion anyway? Part of our societal problems stem from replacing God with the individual. Replacing charity with govt. Replacing family with community. It has been done systematically over the last two generations and cannot be undone.

I am anti-theist. The concept of God and/or religion take up zero of my time.

We are no different in that regard. That said, I find anti-theists to be more self centered than theists by a large margin.

I do agree with that, but it is all based on faith, no one can prove God exists, or does not. Considering that it is pointless to argue how we all got here. As long as your theory and religious practices don't harm any people or animals, who am I to argue. Science has been proven wrong time and time again.

Only two presidents started in office with the country in worse shape than it was when Joe Biden took office.
Abraham Lincoln who took office with the country on the cusp of Civil War, and FDR who took office in the height of the worst economic depression in the nations history.
But Lincoln and FDR had something Biden has never had. Overwhelming majorities by their party in both houses of Congress. They also didn’t have members of their own party who seemed more focused on opposing their policies than in supporting them. And neither of them had to worry about the filibuster as it would is now constituted .
But despite all those obstacles, Biden has accomplished much.

You obviously are not well read on Lincoln. His own cabinet secretaries undermined him. Greatness always rises to the top. Always.

If you are talking about Biden, he knew Jesus.
