  1.  @dukecarraway1762  Keystone was 11K temporary seasonal jobs over 2 years. Biden also saves $1.9 billion for a pipeline that was between 2 places we already have a larger pipeline running between. We are not selling oil to China to compensate for this. We are just transporting the oil differently to the same countries. Gas is up because US refineries are closed down due to covid safety, and people are starting to drive more than they were 6 months ago. Considering global oil prices went negative last year, is it really a surprise this is now increasing? Unemployment is down, so that's just a flat out lie. Current unemployment is lower than it was several years after the financial crisis. Trump almost hit 15%, a historic high. Of course more illegal crossings are happening. Trump stopped letting people in so they ended up waiting at the border for months or years. Illegal crossings are bound to increase when it seems like the only option. Of course if you actually look at the numbers, illegal crossing were far higher in 2019, with May 2019 hitting 144K, February this year only hit 100K. This trend matches recent history and is expected to rise for the reasons I gave, but even if we go higher than in 2019, that is only showing that the drops in 2020 due to covid have offset the the current increases we now see. People who waiting longer are combining with new people trying to cross. Texas was always a crime state, mainly because of the Texans. During Trump the migrant facilities were overflowing, causing them to house migrants in hotels by renting out whole floors. Biden, by not separating kids from their families, allowing him to quickly turn around migrants and send them back. Trump's policy of essentially stealing children makes it impossible for us to then empty those facilities until the families are reunited. And that's assuming they even can be reunited. Some of these kids will have to age out of the system because their families will never come back for them, for one reason or another. So thanks to Trump we may be stuck with hundreds of children in permanent detention until they are 18 years old. I haven't seen anything about an increase in force in Iraq and Syria, care to elaborate? The only thing I have seen was a single precision strike on Iran backed militia weapons smugglers at the Syrian-Iraq border who recently rocketed Americans in Iraq. Biden's approach was said to be more conservative than many of the options given: The American airstrikes on Thursday “specifically destroyed multiple facilities located at a border control point used by a number of Iranian-backed militia troops, including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada,” Mr. Kirby said. “This proportionate military response was conducted together with diplomatic measures, including consultation with coalition partners,” he added. “The operation sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel.” So he didn't out of the blue order a strike on an Iranian general or anything stupid like that.

  2.  @nikhilnewse3318  No he didn't. In fact he sanctioned Chinese government officials just 2 days ago, and denounced the treatment of Hong Kong.

  3.  @trumpdonald9393  He literally met his vaccination promise today. What are you on about?

  4.  @trumpdonald9393  Biden's vaccine rollout has been far more successful than Trump's ever was, especially considering the first vaccine approved had nothing to do with any of Trump's programs. Pfizer never used funds from Operation Warp Speed, and the success was just the market doing it's thing. Trump also left distribution largely up to the states, with little to no oversight. Trump's team passed on the chance to get more Pfizer vaccine back in December. Biden on the other hand has made deals on the federal level to get more vaccination centers, increased vaccine orders so vaccine companies can freely increase production, and managed to smash his goal of 100m vaccine shots in 100 days. Trump's government even lost track of 20 million vaccine doses, that's just embarrassing. Biden even got some funding for vaccine distributions in the recent relief bill. So sure, thanks Biden.

  5.  @marcsanch28  For doing what? Calling out Putin and sanctioning Chinese officials. Maybe you're just too used to being friends with authoritarians.

  6.  @marcsanch28  We had an entire cold war around just this. I think we'll be fine. As for Trump, he was sucking up to Russia as he always has. for al his talk Trump did very little to condemn actual evil. Instead he put profit over morals more times than we can count.

  7.  @dukecarraway1762  Employment is up, not down. You need to forget about 11K temporary Keystone jobs to build a pipeline to a place we already have a pipeline to. The border crisis was created by Trump trying to ignore the issues. Biden's whole plan is to enrich nations to the south to try and encourage people to stay in those countries. Trump's plan was to build an ineffective wall and stick his fingers in his ears. He bombed Syria once right at a weapon smuggling route into Iraq, killing Iranian backed militia who rocket attacked Americans in Iraq. Generals said this was a more conservative approach and more drastic measures were given as options.

  8.  @dukecarraway1762  Lol, no they were temporary. Once the pipeline was build those jobs drop to less than 50. The US is not selling oil to China at a fraction of the cost. That's just a lie. Why would they even? The stock market is fine. If you can find evidence that the Syria drone strike was anything else then please present it. Biden is not sending more troops. They are maintaining a presence, as they have done for years. Texas has a much higher violent crime rate than Oregon. Migrants are being caught at the border, they aren't stealing cars you idiot. They do everything they can to fly under the radar. The migrant facilities are full because Trump filled them. Finally we have someone who can start turning that around. Trump's wall did nothing. Almost all of it just replaced existing wall. Trump didn't make peace with Russian and North Korea, he placated them. Placating dictators is not a good strategy and hurts our allies. Trump killed an Iranian general and Biden is the warmonger. lol.

  9.  @dukecarraway1762  Trump did more drone strikes than Obama.
