For months, investigators would have to wait to issue subpoenas or interview witnesses to gather new information,” the authors write, adding that Garland “had chosen to impose a very conservative interpretation of what DOJ officials called the 60-day rule,” urging prosecutors to avoid taking public investigative steps within two months of Election Day that involve candidates in that election.
Weirdly enough, there’s still a lot of people that seem to legitimately believe Biden did everything he was able to…
Biden was a doddering old coward too afraid to take the necessary steps to save the country he swore to protect. He deserves to be forgotten.
Fuck Joe Biden.
No. He deserves to be remembered.
The IRA and Infrastructure Acts were the biggest investments in domestic renewable energy in history, and that’s a huge positive. Other than that… yeah.
They were the biggest because they were paused most of Trump’s years…
trump’s were going to be shitty, so Dems wouldn’t vote for them.
So Bidens should have been over 4 times normal to make up for it…
Renewable energy tech wasn’t mature enough during Obama or Trump 1 to become economically competitive. Regardless of how you want to frame it, it’s still true.
Well, you’re literally only caring about how big the total number… But now just the “energy tech” mattered?
By that total cost metric, republicans wanted it to be higher, so are you mad it wasn’t?
Like, if the only metric we care about is the total cost…
Biden rejected multiple ones for being too high, so your argument that he should get credit for how high it was when he was the one that lowered it…
Just doesn’t make sense. But now you’ve already committed to that being all that matters, are you going to just pick a new one and insist that’s all that matters and somehow Biden gets all the credit?
ok, I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make, but it’s not important enough to keep going with you
So…
The only reason you replied to my hour old comment, was to tell me that you don’t want to reply anymore?
Buddy…
In that scenario you just don’t make the comment, I don’t need a notification from someone that I won’t get another notification. I assure you no one is waiting in baited breath to hear back
And that’s been dismantled. So what did he do, really?
It hasn’t though. There are tons and tons of projects that are continuing or have been completed. I don’t know the exact percentage, but not everything was immediately reversed. I’m personally benefitting from some of those programs still.
You’re also living in a democracy that’s rapidly deteriorating into a fascist dictatorship. Is pointing out that at least we got some solar panels out of the deal really what you want to be doing right now?
The OP claimed Biden wasn’t able to get a lot done. I made a point that he did a lot for climate change mitigation. It’s not just residential solar, it’s industrial solar, wind, and hydro. Also research programs, non-climate stuff like Medicare prescription negotiation, etc. (you can look it up).
Also, yeah America is quickly becoming a dictatorship. Two things can be true ya know…
I read the conversation. I’m asking if this is the part of the equation you want to focus on. It seems pretty irrelevant to me, especially considering the fact that you could very easily argue that all the climate change mitigation Biden managed to push through is more than offset by the damage Trump is currently doing, and his election is a direct result of Biden’s failure to protect democracy. Either way you look at it, Biden screwed the pooch.
Yeah in this one comment on this one post this is the part of the equation I want to focus on. Anything is better than nothing, and most people (doomers) don’t seem to understand that anything done is going to help vs doing nothing.
Yes. Some of the projects had gotten funded and started before Trump took office.
The laws you referenced has still been dismantled.
If you think the personal benefits from them outweigh the harm from not arresting an insurrectionist… I got nothing.
The fact is, Trump is destroying America and Biden did nothing to stop it.
I mean Garland was a major problem, but sure
Who nominated Garland to USAG? to whom did he answer to?
you act like Biden had no power in that relationship. Garland’s job was to ride herd on the DOJ. Biden’s job (as far as this matter goes,) was to ride herd on Garland.
Yeah absolutely Biden did. He sucked in a lot of ways, I’m just saying in terms of IRA and Infrastructure he was good.
