Arguably Bush could control neither the 9/11 attack nor the economic collapse. Biden, on the other hand, has had a direct involvement in just about every bad thing that is going on today.
Leadership isn't just about trying to prevent bad things from happening. It's about resolving issues after bad things have happened.

From what I heard whomever should have been investigating suspicious behavior was not doing it. The FBI seems to excel at investigating mass murders after they happen but no good at preventing many of them.
What about the report of one of the terrorists taking flying lessons and not being interested in learning to land? If that does not set off warning bells, what does?

You can’t be serious. Biden can’t remember the name of his wife, or the name of the city that he is speaking from…and you are giving him credit for having “direct involvement” in every bad thing that’s going on today? I hope you are joking.

I believe the fact came out that 9/11 was a plan for some years, the fail was not knowing the plan.

I am giving his administration credit.
Should I assume that you agree with all of the policies implemented by the Biden administration? Or are you someone who doesn't care what happens so long as your wallet is full and your house has increased in value?

A president really can't get more directly involved in EO's and legislation than signing his name to them, which Joe does gleefully. Whether he fully understands what he is doing is debatable. If Joe had gone and stayed at his beach house for the last 3 years and never signed anything, our country would be much better off.

As I said before...the things that are out of my control must also be out of my concern. I'm too old to solve the country's problems...and I refuse to go to my grave disgruntled. The politicians have their agenda...and I must adhere to my own. The law of nature is "survival of the fittest".

Some time ago I told the posters here to buy bitcoin at $10,000. I hope a couple of the people here listened to me.

You sell when bitcoin gets to $500,000.
And I’m not kidding.

Why would someone with no concern involve himself in a discussion of something he has no concern with?
