Mike Luckovich for November 18, 2021

The difference is the intention. One of them is a grifter whose only plan was to enrich and enjoy himself. The other one actually honors his oath of office and is working to make the nation and the world better.

I believe there is a Texan saying about a do-nothing, worthless, braggart: “all hat, no cattle”…

Yep, Trump promised to “Make America Great Again” (like return to the Jim Crow era his worshippers long for), but instead crashed our markets, lost twenty million jobs, closed hundreds of thousands of small business and killed more than half a million Americans on his watch because of his pathetic ignorance. Oh, and then he lost an election by more than SEVEN MILLION VOTES so tried to destroy our election system and overthrow the government. Trump’s only achievement was to foment hatred and death, spark violence and REDISTRIBUTE middle class wealth from the working people who produce it to the few richest elites at the top who already had the most.

Trump promised “infrastructure week” just about every single week of his presidency but, in four years, never passed a single infrastructure bill.

Biden enacted a major BIPARTISAN infrastructure bill in his first ten months, the most massive since Eisenhower enacted the interstate highway system, with another even bigger one on the horizon that will provide the social support infrastructure for more women and caregivers to return to work.

Biden has presided over the fastest rate of job growth and the fastest rate of growth in the capital and investment markets than any other president.

Trump took the shrinking deficits Obama handed over to him and exploded it into record deficits, adding more than seven trillion to the national debt.

Biden is on pace for his first year to reduce Trump’s deficit by more than $360 billion. (No Republican in the last 60 years, not since Eisenhower, has ever reduced an annual budget deficit from one year to the next. Three Democrats [LBJ, Clinton and Obama] have done it and Biden is on pace in his first year. LBJ and Clinton got all the way to surplus.)

Now, that one requires a belly laugh. But Trump wants to siphon off the moolah to his Buds with a grifter fee coming straight to him.

It’s actually good to have a POTUS that actually does something to make America great.

Mike, you’re going to have to write much slower for the ricky ticky tackies of the world to understand your point………………..right-wing populists?:

I love having adults in charge again.

Not really he still have basically nothing worth of value until something significant is done for environment

By ‘great’ they mean white, we all know that.

The extreme right has taken over the “Republican” party, turning the wealthy folks living in the isolated/gated community from being the villains who exploit the wage earners to being the public’s pals [to be praised, not envied] … teaming up with the wage earners, to blame automation, immigration, globalization, education, minorities, non-christians, etc for robbing the “entitled” class of their god-given-rights to privileges, that the “others” are simply not entitled to. The “America” that the extreme right envisions is very different than what freedom-loving, equality-loving, loyal patriotic reality-based Americans see.

And at least President Biden CAN READ… unlike the Orange Half-Wit.

Remember when every other week during the Trump administration was declared "Infrastructure Week’ and remember how nothing ever got done?

Nice.

trump was all about selling hats.. Joe wants to do the real thing

VOTE DEMOCRAT IN ’22.

LOL!!!!!

And all at what cost may I ask?

^Trump and the Republican leadership presented an infrastructure bill to Congress? I must have missed that…

News Flash — looks as though Ricky Quest has been suspended — not sure, but certainly looking that way

^^MontanaBill thinks that not having a healthcare plan is better than the ACA (Obamacare)? That would make me laugh, but it’s so sadistic. Throwing millions of people off their healthcare insurance is somehow going to help them. His lack of logic is overwhelming. The repugnicants plan is a “We Don’t Care” plan that is nonexistent.

When you don’t need healthcare insurance you don’t see the need. Those of us who have experienced major health issues know that it can devastate a family’s assets. Employers should not be in the health insurance business. It tends to be contrary to having good coverage for those in sudden desperate need.

My hat reads: “We Just Did.”

Bingo

“millions of new jobs”. . . really? . . . .and isn’t there a labor shortage going on?

Close enough. All the Republicans that voted against the bill are quick to try to take credit for all the projects in their states that it will fund.
