Biden Didn’t Accomplish Anything in Congress in 50 Years

It's either a very late night or a very early morning in Ulyanovsk

Yeah, this is the first I'm hearing of it on left wing social media.

Certainly more than Bernie!

OP/Svetlana darling, don't you think these sorts of threads would work better closer to the next election? You'[re a little early.

Define “accomplishment”?

Don’t really know what he did in Congress but he and Obama accomplished a whole hell of a lot when Obama was President and Biden VP

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I was under the belief that President Joseph Biden sponsored the original Violence Against Women Act in 1994. I thought that as a result of that act, there was a major decline in intimate partner violence, from over 2 million victims in 1993/4 down to approximately 925,000 in 2020. Just an estimate.

It is also my recollection, maybe I'm wrong, but didn't he initiate the expansion of NATO to include such Warsaw Pact nations as the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland in an effort to advance a unified, democratic and peaceful Europe?

I think he may have also been the first sitting U.S. Vice President to publicly support marriage equality. That was on some morning news show.

When Joe Biden was the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the 1980s, he blocked Jeff Sessions from becoming a federal judge. Former President Donald Trump two years ago agreed with Biden's assessment of Jeff Sessions, going so far as to question Jeff Sessions' credibility, legitimacy, and intelligence.

Joe Biden co-sponsored legislation in 2007 and 2008 in order to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2008, he successfully passed the PROTECT Our Children Act, which was aimed at addressing the online exploitation of children.

Didn't President Biden preside over the confirmation hearings of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg back in the early 1990s?

In 2006, while a Senator, Joe Biden sponsored and helped pass the COMBATING AUTISM ACT.

In 2004, he sponsored the COMPREHENSIVE PEACE IN THE SUDAN ACT.

While serving in the 108th United States Congress, in the early 2000s Joe Biden sponsored and helped pass some bill to extend the authority for the construction of a memorial of Martin Luther King, Jr.

He accomplished expansion of / amendments to the Ryan White AIDS CARE Act in 2000

Missing, Exploited, and Runaway Children Protection Act of 2000.

Challenged China on Human Rights issues and mistreatment of LGBTQ citizens.

Not true. Thanks to Joe we have the Patriot Act. It used to be fashionable to say it was fascist legislation.

Joe Biden served on the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

S.J.Res.44 — 106th Congress (1999-2000) A joint resolution supporting the Day of Honor 2000 to honor and recognize the service of minority veterans in the United States Armed Forces during World War II.

His accomplishments: 1987 Biden's Presidential campaign ended after being accused of plagiarism. Biden supported Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court. Supported the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law enforcement Act It is an embarrassment now as it caused mass incarceration. Biden supported the Hyde Amendment from 1976 to June 2019. In 1981 he voted to end federal funding for abortion for victims of rape and incest. In the mid 70's he was a leading opponent of race-integration busing. He was a supporter of Capitol Punishment till June 20, 2019. In 1986 Biden sponsored and co-wrote the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. This act ended up with Black drug users were more likely to use crack and hence were incarcerated in larger numbers. Biden partnering with Strom Thurmond on the Comprehensive Forfeiture Act. Biden supported the 2002 Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act and expansion of the 1986 Anti-Crack house statute. That was opposed by the ACLU . He was against de-criminalization of marijuana until 2019 and 2020 when he was for it. His Vice President was correct in saying he was a racist but took the job anyway. Why? Maybe she will be President sooner than you think.

R18, when some has had a political career as long as Biden, one will inevitably have some not so proud moments. What matters is that as VP and Prez, he has evolved and stands for progress

FUCK

OFF

BORIS

OP

He fought to keep schools segregated because allowing blacks to integrate would create a racial jungle. He taxed social security. He ran for president in 1988 but had to end it for getting busted for plagiarism. He wrote the crime bill that caused a mass incarceration of African Americans. Oh, he used his office while VP to enrich his family.

Do your own research, OP—he did a ton!

Of course it’s a mixed bag by today’s standards, but he did accomplish a lot.

Progressive children are purists and don’t understand what senators do.

He’s president. That’s a huge accomplishment, albeit outside of Congress.

Bernie didn’t win the nomination, OP.

Trump lost, OP.

R18 Today you are not allowed to get a pass on your past. It has destroyed many. Why should Biden get a pass? What I want many of the people of today is their social media will contribute to their destruction...

Ask any of those rightwing critics who a truly accomplished Republican in congress is and watch them stand there agape like Carp.

I would like to lift up the response posted by R23.

It seems that R23 makes a strong and valid point, so I'd like to repeat it. Trump LOST.

keep looking for moose and squirrel

At least Joe beat William Henry Harrison in the longevity in the presidency race. That's pretty good for a man in his conditions.

[Quote] He taxed social security.

Actually Reagan taxed SS. Biden may have voted for it (I haven’t verified) but the country was in deep shit and needed money.

Also, he wasn’t in Congress for 50 years.

President Biden is kicking ass woot woot. Soooo glad he beat that dumb orange POS’s fat ass in the election. What a whiny, tiny dicked bitch loser. Mighty Joe!

I am sick to death of the Twitter purists. Nobody came out of their mother's vagina fully formed and with the most up-to-date and politically correct views on everything. Joe Biden has been around for a long time, so he is going to have his fingerprints on a lot of different things. That's the way life works.

Please go die in a grease fire, tiresome trolls.

Congress isn't a place where any one person "accomplishes" anything.

You can put in ANY name and claim he/she didnt accomplish anything in Congress

Not any name.

[quote] Certainly more than Bernie!

Actually, not true.
