    It’s more than just age. People are just starting to make shit up now.

    I was watching, I think it was CNN the other day, it might have been MSNBC, and one of their talking head guests was commenting that we need to move the conversation from “Biden is a good President” to “Biden is a great President” and then she dropped this jaw dropper:

    “Biden is the most consequential and impactful President of my lifetime.”

    And I’m not prone to yelling at my TV, but unless you were born after 1/20/2021 - No he FUCKING isn’t!

      As a non American looking at this Biden has been a caretaker president, cleaning up a lot of the mess Trump left behind. Which is exactly what you needed. But there’s no way he has been impactful.

        Yup. The biggest impact he had was cleaning up the Covid response, both medically and financially, but it’s not so much he did a good job as Trump doing a thoroughly terrible job.

          I would say that his infrastructure deal and the CHIPS act will both have a big impact, but I wouldn’t call him the most consequential and impactful president of my life time. Unfortunately, that crown goes to Reagan.
