Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do.
From Salute to America speech on July 4th, talking about the year 1775.
But no, Canada et al were not embarrassed by the Chief back in a day. Not in the slightest, but then Biden became President.

There is little wonder why he got the highest 1st year RCP Poll of Polls Job Approval and lowest Job Disapproval Rating of any POTUS since Barack Obama and that he is viewed more Favorably on that same standard than any other political leader including Donald Trump.

In my case, thanks to my hard work, due diligence, the pro American legislation passed by FDR, LBJ, Carter, Clinton and Obama, my great good fortune in living, working and buying residence in California, the historic gains in the stock market under Clinton, Obama and now Biden, I was able to roll over my 401 K into an IRA when I retired, fully, with none of it being sent to Trump's beloved "We thank Xi for his help and transparency in controlling this Democrat Party Hoax virus" China.
The income withdrawals from that and other investments have been enough to provide for a fine, fun, pleasurable and totally comfortable retirement for 10 years so far without my even needing to apply for my well earned Social Security yet, merely waiting until it reaches the maximum monthly dollar amount for me at age 70.
And all with zero thanks to any USA economy and stock market crashing Repub.

Posts: 1068Biden Press conference today
Hopefully everyone saw the embarrassing Biden press conference today. He was a disaster. Stuttering and stemming and unable to answer half the questions. Some of his answers were questions. Some of his answers were totally about something other than the question. He look confused and flustered whenever a hard question was asked. Fortunately they had some liberals there to ask some soft questions or he wouldn't have gotten any answers right. Some of his answers were: I don't know. I am sure it wasn't shown internationally or he would be laughing stock of all the world leaders today. If he is like this with foreign leaders we are in trouble.

Of course, Trump had a huge advantage in achieving his Job Approval rating after inheriting from Obama-Biden a steadily growing and expanding jobs creating economic expansion of historic length and proportions to coast on in that first year.
By stark contrast, Biden inherited from Trump-Pence another in a long series of Great Repub Crashes and Recessions, Jobs Destruction in the millions, an unprecedented Trump's Pandemic raging around the world in all its deadly variants with no plan or system in place to vaccinate against it, a total surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan and an organized Trump / Repub Party Insurrection Mob in and out of office intent upon overthrowing American democracy by any means necessary.
Big difference.
Despite all that, Biden's RCP Favorability Rating against political leaders like Trump who no longer has a Job and others is also still higher than theirs:

Yes, Trump is the current leader of the Repub Party. Not a real job, as is the case with whatever it is Do Nothing Repubs do for a living. But Moscow Mitch essentially admitted his Party does not have a platform on which to campaign again this election year. Therefore, it logically defaults to the platform they ran on the previous time. Which was, "Whatever America-hating Trump wants us to do."

You haven't seen a Great Repub Crash, Depression / Recession in the past 50 years?
You'd have to go back to 1937 and the WWII bills-paying years under FDR and Truman to find ANY Recession starting under a Dem rather than a Repub for the past 100 years except for the historically brief and insignificant one purposely induced by the Fed under Carter in order to cool down an overheated economy that was producing way more jobs than there were applicants to take them, a condition that was triggering growing wage-fueled inflation:
But for the Great Repub Recessions out of the total of 7 Recessions we've had in just the past 50 years, where all but 1 of those 7 were started under a Repub, I draw your attention to Reagan's in 1981, GW Bush's in 2007 and Trump's in 2020. Honorable Mention goes to the ones under GHW Bush and Nixon:
The National Bureau of Economic Research is the official USA government go-to source for determining the beginning and end of Recessions.

Posts: 5440Latest Poll for Ron DeSantis
I didn't see this previously for the most likely Repub Party so-called presidential candidate in 2024 if New York has put Trump in the slammer by then. There aren't enough polls on Florida Mass Murderer / Governor DeSantis to produce much of a "consensus" yet. So we'll have to go with individual credible polls.
Among 1989 Registered Voters:
New poll shows Ron DeSantis losing to both Joe Biden, Kamala Harris
Dec. 11,2021.
https://floridapolitics.com/archives...n-new-polling/
A Harvard/Harris Poll asked: If the 2024 election for President were held today and it was between Ron DeSantis, the Republican, and Joe Biden, the Democrat, who would you vote for?
Biden took a 43% share of respondents; DeSantis took 36%, with an additional 21% saying they were unsure. The Governor had 37% support against Harris, who had 42%. Again, 21% had not formed an opinion.

Look at many of the charts in this article https://apps.texastribune.org/featur...-unemployment/ Tell me which one of the industry segments below fits the model that you are trying to convince me is the truth?
Leisure and hospitality lost 577,200 jobs and added 421,800 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
Education and health services lost 179,800 jobs and added 118,700 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
Government lost 140,000 jobs and added 81,800 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
Construction lost 88,200 jobs and added 38,200 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
Manufacturing lost 69,900 jobs and added 29,200 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
Mining and logging (includes oil and gas) lost 67,900 jobs and added 14,100 jobs between March 2020 and May 2021.
None of the industries listed is back to full employment. Therefore, your contention is, well, everybody knows what it is.
