What the heck is going on with Biden's promises to be an "American President"?

Untrue, job loss is expected to be less than 1,000. The 11,000 was the number of jobs that the company said they hoped to see created someday and most would be temporary in nature. Not saying that 1,000 jobs aren't important, they are, but it' s not 11,000.

All jobs are temporary in nature. Eliminating a project that would’ve employed 11,000 is eliminating 11,000 and in addition it will be cost of us jobs that would’ve come from exporting the Canadian oil in Louisiana.

1,000 jobs. It's a nothing burger

My point has more to do with how what people say is spun to fit a political narrative. Unfortunately, most Trumpers would never think of looking beyond what Fox or Newsmax tells them is true. 11,000 people did NOT lose their jobs. At best they may have lost an opportunity at a hoped-for job. Maybe they can turn that hope to full time, well paid green jobs.
 

Biden can play. During the Obama administration, Golf Digest listed Biden as carrying a 6 handicap index and among the best golfers in the political community in Washington, D.C. In 2018, when Biden last entered a round in the USGA GHIN handicapping system, Biden was a 6.7 index.

That is a pretty good handicap.

We all (us politically well informed folks at least) know Trump loves cheating at golf almost as much as he loves going golfing.

Trump is all around good at cheating. Just ask his wives and or former business partners or contractors.

No, they certainly lost a job. Clearly you’re somebody who doesn’t work in trades or has any connections to trade workers.

there’s no such thing as a “green job” that’s code for expensive political patronage programs that are worse for the environment then oil.
 
Jod Biden like all politicians made a bunch of promises during his basement campaign. What happened to those promises?
First hundred days, "give me 100 days" he said. We will get control of the virus, we will open our schools so our kids can learn. Well, it's not looking like he has any better control of the virus, in fact it's worse. It's worse because he and his "team" haven't made any real advancements. Biden's team walked into a situation, WITH A VACCINE, ready and being distributed and people being inoculated. They are at roughly the level of vaccinations as the Trump administration was getting out. We are also seeing that in some areas, NYC for instance the situation is much worse because of the nursing home situation coming to light. As far as schools. Biden and his "team" have clarified his campaign statements. Open in 100 days now means, hopefully 50% of the schools in America will be open. Open means at least 1 or 1/2 day a week. Great plan Joe. Having Professor Jill Biden doesn't seem to be helping our schools.
One of the problems is the teachers Unions such as in Chicago. The teachers are refusing to go back to work in many cases and Joe cannot stand up to a large part of his voter and donation base.

Joe the Jobs President. So far Joe has killed thousands of jobs with his killing the XL pipeline. The number will go up to about a million total from the fallout of that move. The biggest problems from that is the loss of 11,000 jobs right away and another million down the road. Other consequences include higher fuel prices and reducing our energy independence. All of this despite Joe's green job promises. There are no Green Jobs ready at this time. Joe killed jobs without having any new jobs ready to replace them. What kind of stupid plan is that?
Unity Joe. Well, does anyone seeing Joe doing anything for unity? I don't. His actions have killed jobs, made no progress in vaccine distribution, no progress in open up our economy, no progress in getting the violence in America under control, in fact in the northwest it's worse. Crime in the big cities in America is up twofold and Joe does nothing to stop it and nothing to support our law enforcement agency. Oh yes, we do have 7,000 national guard troops surrounding D.C.. It's a hoax being perpetrated by the democrats. Look how dangerous it is in D.C. Don't worry about the rest of America.
Joe signed an EO that makes little boys into little girls who can compete in women's athletics against those young women. A biological male competing against females in tests of size, speed and strength.
Border Joe. Joe has opened up a superhighway to the U.S. border. Illegal border crossing are up almost 150%. Joe is opening more cages for unaccompanied minors.
Foriegn Policy Joe. Well we are back into the Paris Accord even though John Kerry told us 90% of carbon emissions come from outside the U.S. and China, Russia and India don't have to make changes before 2030. China by the way contributes more than 30% of the carbon emission by itself. Iran is openly challenging the Biden administration and Biden has no response. Biden has already caved to Russia on the new nuclear treaty renewal, asking for nothing from the Russians and not broaching the alleged claims of bounties on American soldiers, of which he criticized Trump.
NY is at its lowest infection rate of 3.54% since Nov. 25. Death rates and hospital stays are coming down. I don't trust anything you post.
 
Clearly you’re somebody who doesn’t work in trades or has any connections to trade workers.
That's a heck of an assumption. It's best not to assume things about people you know nothing about....and BTW you're wrong.
 
All jobs are temporary in nature. Eliminating a project that would’ve employed 11,000 is eliminating 11,000 and in addition it will be cost of us jobs that would’ve come from exporting the Canadian oil in Louisiana.

In my opinion, eliminating a project already employing 11,000 is eliminating jobs. Canceling projects that never began in the first place is not eliminating any jobs. All construction jobs are temporary, I agree with that, learning that from first hand experience.

I have little doubt (hope) that at some point President Joe Biden will likely reinstate construction on the unfinished sections of the border fencing. Likely after his administration has had a chance to review each contract and how they were let and how they were being met. I have little doubt he will proceed with greater caution and more logical processes if that happens and will pay more attention to environmental concerns and private individual land ownership issues than his predecessor.

For the record, again, I opposed halting all the already in process construction projects along the border, but I understand why President Biden did so.

What always was of greater importance post construction was the letting of maintenance contracts for the border infrastructure, that is where the real permanent jobs will come from. But more importantly I am anxious to see how President Joe Biden addresses the 800 pound gorilla in the room when it comes to securing our borders.

It matters not if we have 2000 miles of more physically secured border with greatly enhanced physically enhanced infrastructure if we are severely short staffed of CBP agents to monitor our border and make apprehensions by literally being the boots on the ground. Our nation for some time has had serious problems with recruiting good CBP agents and keeping good CBP agents.

Let us not be remiss by not also addressing the third leg of border protection at issue, that is with our immigration courts and the marked inadequacy of the necessary staffed courts we really need. That is another carryover problem across multiple administrations.

Sorry, I have a habit of getting verbose, especially on the broad topic of border security and immigration, legal and illegal.

I hope and pray President Biden will find ways to address some of those issues I outlined and make improvements on them.

I respectfully beg to disagree. My brother in law is employed in a major "green job" company as it were that is employing many folks worldwide sans "political patronage programs that are worse for the environment then oil".

He works for an internationally located wind power company that is prospering and growing because of their own merits and not because of any "political patronage program".

Their end product is by no means "worse for the environment then oil".
 
Well, it's not looking like he has any better control of the virus, in fact it's worse. It's worse because he and his "team" haven't made any real advancements.

U Keep seeing pictures on the News of Unprofessional acts in the air by Russia or China. Well how about this. The Russian air Crews asked the Phantoms to roll around their bombers and they took pictures. Proves fun in the air exists on both sides. !

 
Oh yeah about that promise. It was a lot of Malarky. He lied. He never meant it. He's gone full socialist. He's still trying to hide out in the basement but of the White House now. He plans to do Covid relief with a resolution bill and democrats only. He had 10 republicans meet with him to go along, he told them no. Real leadership and unity.
 
Well you got this guy, making a phony Parade of about a block of dumb arsses standing around with a Flag and cops pushing them back. All Staged for Prez day while Trumpy drives by with us paying the bill ! So phony and most likely mentally ill ! don't get your bunjies all in a roll its all for lying the Politicians are famous for & the Media pushing back with rights of the Press ! Y beat beat liers the same way they spread their lies. Trumpy thinks he is a hero when in reality he is a Traitor ! Live with it Donald.

Obviously he can, and enjoys doing so. Perhaps it's because he takes the job of President of the United States of America and the crisis left for him by the Trump administration too seriously to spend all of his time on the golf course?

Ahh, 43 miles of actual new Border Wall for $500 billion dollars. Now thas the facts and how stupid the Donald actually is. It won't work !
 
Heck of a deal when you kill energy jobs in the US, and in Canada. Then your energy czar John Kerry says we can't make a difference in the U.S.

You really think people don't understand what that means? Do you understand what that means. You don't, do you. lol
 
He's actually done nothing except sign a few EO's. Most of what he has done was just extensions of the already in place Covid-19 relief plan. He has managed to kill a potentially 1 million jobs in the killing of the XL pipeline. He doesn't have any jobs ready to replace them. His vaccine distribution is not making any strides greater than we were seeing before he came to office. His excuse, well it was much worse than we thought. Boy that's a surprising excuse.

Where were you when President Biden signed almost 50 executive actions in his first three weeks on the job while waiting for Congress to finish impeaching and trying his predecessor? He signed 17 on his first day in office alone. What do you think is just a few executive actions?

Your fake god is 100% at fault for the slow vaccine rollout. The rattlesnake intentionally gave the Biden administration a huge mess to make sure President Biden would have an extremely difficult time trying to accomplish his goal of getting every adult vaccinated as soon as possible, starting with 100 million Americans in his first 100 days. Step 1: Sign executive orders related to the coronavirus on his first day in office, which he did. Step 2: Get Congress to pass a coronavirus stimulus bill ASAP. Current status: Not ready for the House of Representatives floor vote yet. So can you tell me what President Biden is supposed to be doing to fix our COVID-19 disaster that is obviously the result of your fake god being a selfish, hateful, lazy, and evil liar?

The Keystone XL Pipeline is Canada's problem. If they want more oil, let them get it from their own land - which they have a lot more of than the United States. In fact they are building a pipeline on their own territory at the same time, which will be a lot longer. We do not have any reason to severely damage our own environment that way, period. Nothing is worth it. Everyone who was working on the project only did it to get paid, not to make the region better. What they did was make the environment a lot worse. Joe Biden knew this because he communicated with climate change experts who know what would happen if the entire KP was constructed as planned. Do a lot of research on geology, biology, and ecology in North America.
 
Joe has to specify that he’s an American President so he doesn’t forget and confess that he’s a Chinese asset.

Trump approved of Xi’s ethnic cleansing of millions of China’s Muslim Uyghurs. He was under Xi’s thumb for 4 years.
 
it's nice to have a normally boring president so far. Punkinhead was a ****ing disaster.
 
Give Biden a chance. Not many ever bothered to give Trump one, so please, rise above it.

Don’t be a slave to a mediocrity like John Bolton.

Trump’s the one who signed the Uighur Bill into law, and who tried to make China play fair.

Biden blew off the Uighurs by saying China has different cultural norms. Yeah Joe, so did the Nazis.
