For some reason people, especially the younger ones, find fault with Joe Biden, claiming he has done very little while they tout all the things Trump said he was going to do for the American people when most of what he did was tell us what he was going to do while removing rights of the various types of people of whom he and his needed and needy supporters disapproved.
They have grown so used to immediate presidential comments delivered after an event with no facts upon which to make a loud pompous proclamation of the image of America rife with super powers, people have found taking the time to pass on a message based on knowable facts but lacking the fireworks of military threats that we actually hope will not be delivered up as a sign of greatness, they reject thoughtful actions and words based on reality.
Since the prominent form of communications lately seems to be electronically transmitting repeated posts and texts without checking their veracity that has led many to believe that because he did not have an instant resolution and an angry speech complete with name-calling. regarding the present Israeli/Hamas conflict he has done nothing, here is a short list of the things Biden has done while we looked for anything that could be found to prove find that he wasn’t doing anything.
