Student loan forgiveness was one of Biden's campaign promises, and this program doesn't start and end on the same day. For the next ten years, unless an other administration cuts/extends it, students who may not have been able to afford the extra $10-20K in student debt get that relief, and the US gets the benefit of those millions of students' education impact on the economy.

Maybe this will buy votes, but there's no stipulation on the political party of the beneficiary, Republicans get it too, and it's not like they're going to stop voting Republican.

… Because he has taken this country to the breaking point. Not since the civil war has this country seen this much division. All because an outsider, someone not seeped in political corruption won the presidency and started uncovering that corruption for all Americans to see that what we had long thought about politicians was true, and those same elites were not about to give up their unethical underhanded dealings that easy. That is why Joe Biden, the great “uniter “ is calling half the country extremists and fascists if you don’t agree with the direction he wants to take this country. According to joe , 75 million Americans want to take your voting rights away, your right to choose or marry who you want will be banned, no birth control. They want bad water and air, push granny over the cliff. And his best line of all “ they want to put you back in chains”. This is the guy that campaigned on Uniting America, no red ..no blue.. just Americans . Call him what you want… demented, delusional, or delirious . Fact is he ain’t much of a president!

Oh right. It's that "basket of deplorables" again. You think that because President Biden criticized a portion of the political spectrum, it must be a universal contempt for any Republican. You clearly didn't hear/read the speech. It's not what he said.

And talk about missing the point, when you hold up DJT as "not seeped in political corruption" I guess you have a different name for his corruption. He used it in office, so it look political to me. There was nepotism, tax evasion, money laundering, misuse of campaign funds, and the list goes on. Now apparently to include mishandling of national security information, but you knew that. If Biden wanted bad air, he wouldn't be working so hard on environmental issues--you know, the ones Republicans HATE!

Biden's a fine President.

Your right , I didn’t watch his decisive political speech.🤮. Why would any of us MAGA republicans watch a senile old codger mumble and stumble while trying to act like someone he’s not.( a person of sound mind and strength) . Apparently you didn’t watch, because he took the next two days trying to backtrack on what he said. We know what he said and how he meant it. Just like his mouthpiece KJP said no migrants were walking across the border. That is called a lie….His idea of all electric will have greater consequences than fossil fuels by far. Not to mention they will never have the infrastructure to handle all the needs of the citizens. Big dreams , little thought.

Yeah, I get it that you're tuned out of political speech that displeases you. I think the only thing in the speech that sounded old was the first few minutes where he needed to clear his throat too much. Maybe his overuse of the "We the people" line. Too speech-y. Otherwise, it was a pretty good speech. Firey and unifying. Pointing out that the MAGA Republicans are wrong to think the only possibilities are they won or they were cheated. And despite what you'll hear from people like me calling them bozos and idiots, Biden referred to them as people, even focusing the audience on the noises they made outside--you know, the part where Trump would've had his crowd chant something to cover it up.

Yeah, biden stumbled on his words a bit, but he's done that for 40+ years. It's what he does.

I LOVE COMMUNISM, SO I LOVE PRESIDENT BIDEN !!

You got to love how these hypocrats tell us if you think the election was stolen from trump than you are a white supremeist, and a destroyer of democracy , and should be disqualified to hold office , but I have seen many videos of Hillary , VP Harris , and many others saying how the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary. And they still say that. But I guess lies and deception instead of truth and ethics rule in the Democratic Party. And now according to the polls only 38% of the American people think joe Biden and his administration are competent. How many people here on mingle 2 are in that 38%. And if any, why?

As of today it is 42.3% approval. Don’t hate me. Just saying

Shocks me how ANYONE can watch what is happening at our border and think this is ok. Border security is one of the few mandatory jobs any administration is required to do. Biden/Harris shouldn't be in office due to this one issue alone, let alone all the others! Insane to think 40% of Americans are ok with this and will give it a pass.

You are right , his Approval rating is 42.3% but what I was pointing out was a poll that actually asked about Biden’s competence, there is a article in the constitution that allows a president to be removed if he is incompetent. 62% of the American people think he is incompetent. Should he be removed from office? … or is the thought of a President Harris frightening enough to let him serve out his term in office.

I normally don’t talk politics but I am making an exemption.
I don’t think is fair to blame the border situation on current president. This has been an ongoing issue from decades that no president, democrats or republicans, have been able to address. I feel is another smoke curtain that is been pull to divert the attention from more serious issues such the fact that the former president was holding highly sensitive documents after his term was done at one of his private homes. Why? Shouldn’t that be ground for treason?
I think there are more concerning issues and situations in this country that should be taken care of by whomever is in the white house.
People need to stop being hateful and negative just because the person sitting in the presidency is not from their political party.
That person is representing all Americans and as American that is what i look at. How can we work together to move forward.

I don’t care what party the president belongs to as long as he does good for the country. The president we have now is not doing good for this country. So No I won’t ignore his poor performance just to get along. That’s what the dems. do just because they belong to the same party. You say we shouldn’t be hateful or negative just because of party differences. I agree. But at the same time we shouldn’t dismiss calling out bad policy just because you are of the same party. Democracy is different ideas being discussed and bringing the best of those ideas out to create a common goal .

THANKS TO THE SATANIC DEMOCRATS,
AMERICA HAS BECOME A COMMUNIST COUNTRY !!!!!!!

A bit naive to think having millions (yes, millions) of illegal and undocumented people just coming into the country willy nilly isn't a big priority and even more naive (uneducated?) to say Trump didn't address it. Night and day difference at the border between the two parties! But hey, at least you wrote a "feel good" reply that tried not to offend, as if anyone but the democrats care about being offended.

I am not surprised by your answer. You don’t know me but you are calling me ‘uneducated’. Maybe you need to get out of your ‘bubble’ and speak with at least one of those millions of illegal immigrants. Maybe that will help you to enhance your knowledge about other cultures and ethnics, and maybe just maybe, you will learn to be more tolerant to ‘different’.
And next time you are having a salad or a piece of corn, remember, that you can still afford buying it thanks to the exploitation that those millions of ‘illegal immigrants’ endure in this country.
May be you should go and replace one of them in the field working under the conditions they do and getting paid the miserable salary they get.
Or just keep ‘cuddling’ and think twice before you judge others and label them as uneducated just because they don’t share your narrow minded opinions.

Thank you for making my point. All emotional (very thin skin evidently), not factual. You made a bold claim about the border pretty much being the same under the last 2 presidents which is so wrong and uniformed that all I did was point it out. I didn't even bother to elaborate on it since its so obviously wrong. Sorry you can't handle the truth or facts and wish to live in your happy place. More power to ya if you can do that.

Mr GG, you and I can go on and on on here but I will stop, because you definitely misread my comment about the border issue. I never said that one president handled better than the other. What i said was that it wasn't a problem created by current president. I have been living in this country for almost 3 decades and the southern border issue always has been a 'problem' , sometimes more controlled sometimes not much. I think depends on the circumstances of the countries from where those people are coming from. If we are having terrible economical repercussions after the pandemic imaging those other countries. That is probably one of the major reasons why the situation is getting worst. Many of those countries the Covid situation is not 100% under control. I don't have to explain to you the whys. Also, the illegal immigration in this country is not all as result of the southern border, and that is a fact not a speculation. 50% of the illegal immigrants in this country came thru legal immigration access points like airports and ports. So I don't think building a wall around the country will be possible ;-). And another fact is that quarter of those immigrants being in a legal limbo is due to the inefficiencies of the ICE services which have years and years of backload cases. And another fact is that more than 50% of those illegal immigrants are not a economical burden to this country, believe it or not, they pay taxes and no, they are not all benefiting of the Welfare services. There are more citizens and legal immigrants in Welfare than illegal ones.
Again, we both can go rebutting to each other arguments to no end. Let's don't get personal and cross line of respect. Maybe one of this days we can have a face to face conversation and share our views. And for your information, I am not registered as either Democrat or Republican. I am 'Intendent' ;-)

Fair enough. You're welcome to come to my home for a chat/visit. I've owned a winter home in Yuma, AZ, for decades, very close to the Mexican border and "ground zero" for what's going on in this country in terms of immigration. Come see for yourself. I can show you them crossing within 12 minutes of my home and the impact on Yuma county.

I am going to add my two cents. No other time in the modern era has there been more entry into this country by illegal aliens. Nearly 4,000,000 have entered our country since joe Biden took office. The reason ICE is overwhelmed may have something to do with the democrats willingness to bypass ICE and bar them from these sanctuary cities. Which kept ICE from doing their job. So the dems. can blame theirselves for not following the legal route.

Not sure what topic to put this under, so I’ll chalk it up to a Biden blunder. .. it seems someone sabotaged the Nord stream 2 pipe line that runs from Russia to Germany . 2 explosions were detected at the same time that natural gas started leaking. Affecting a area a 1/2 mile wide. This was the same pipeline Joe approved of after stopping production of our own pipeline and oil production… I’m not saying joe had that pipeline blown up but he did say that if Russia invaded Ukraine , the Nordstream 2 pipeline would stop production. No one really believed him at the time , just another thoughtless rant. If joe is responsible for this act of sabotage than he should never mention the words climate change again. Tons of methane gas is pouring into our atmosphere , the most destructive element in global warming according to joe. Joe will probably blame Putin for sabotaging one of his sources of income for his country. I don’t think people will fall for it. So far the Biden administration is the most likely suspect.
