From the border to the economy, President Biden has accomplished feats in 2023 that no one ever saw coming. With so many incredible achievements for the Biden administration this year, narrowing them down was no easy task! Here are the top ten accomplishments of the Biden administration in 2023:

Reduced American obesity rate by 50%: Cleverly done by simply making food unaffordable.
Cleaned up all the cocaine bags someone was leaving around the White House: Decency restored!
Kept American hostages safe from junk fees during their stay with Hamas: Not one single junk fee!
Set all-time record for people illegally streaming into the U.S.: Because he's the most popular President ever. Numbers don't lie.
Raised dementia awareness by 400%: Also, sandbag awareness.
Created record numbers of new billionaires: They're all in Ukraine, but still.
Promoted transparency by releasing several "Behind-the-Scenes" videos from Capitol staffers: Campaign promise, delivered.
Saved democracy by arresting political opponents and not allowing people to vote for anyone else: Thanks, Joe!
Set new record by spending 40% of time on vacation: Finally giving Delaware Beach the attention it so richly deserves.
Heroically stayed alive to save America from a Kamala Harris Presidency: We salute you, Mr. Biden!
What can't Biden do?? We can't wait to see what Joe has up his sleeve in 2024!

It is clearly your choice to be a member or not. The Stupid 4 make it extremely difficult to attend the group. They have made every possible attempt to destroy the group so I certainly would blame you for not bothering with it. I was here from the first. So I will. Though I think that I will no longer bother with the Stupid 4 when they are quoted.

President Biden is no doubt pleased that Tommy is lying about him since
it means that he must be doing something right.

What is the reality about President Biden?

• Highest employment rate in U.S. history.
• Brought inflation under control.
• Ended the pandemic.
• Led the world's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
• Supported Israel after the Hamas terrorist attack.
• Working to take marijuana off of Schedule 1.
• Rebuilding U.S. infrastructure
• Addressing climate change
• Increasing the number of citizens with health insurance.
• S&P 500 and DJIA record highs (the stock market almost always does
better under Democratic administrations)

Undoing the damage done to the country by the Trump administration was
never going to be quick. It takes at least twice as long to undo
economic damage as it does to create it. Clinton successfully undid the
damage caused by Reagan and George H.W. Bush, Obama undid the economic
damage caused by George W. Bush, but it took eight years for each.

"The Republican Party claims to be “the party of maximum economic
freedom and the prosperity that freedom makes possible.” However, an
analysis of economic performance since World War II under Democratic
versus Republican presidents strongly suggests that claims that
Republicans are better at managing the economy are simply not true.
While the reasons are neither fully understood nor completely
attributable to policy choices, data show that the economy has performed
much better during Democratic administrations. Economic growth, job
creation and industrial production have all been stronger."

That settles one question that was bothering me. I was never quite
sure if your strange behavior was due to your concussion in 2010, or
something different or earlier. Since everything I've found dating
back to 1992 showed that your behavior hasn't changed even slightly, I
think it's fair to assume that your concussion didn't cause your
strange behavior. However, that might have been your doppelganger:

Some people believe that gibberish Joe Biden has been good for the
USA. Thankfully, that's not a popular opinion.

I think we're stuck with the few that believe their own absurdities.
For example, Tom is defending to the death his recent claim to have
ridden downhill at 65 mph.

Oddly, this is also an example of why Tom was never an engineer. One
of the first thing an engineer learns is when to give up. If they
don't learn that, then the only way to get a product into production
is to literally rip it out of their hands or they will continue
engineering it until the sun explodes. There are a few engineers in
RBT. Most of them know when to stop beating an argument to death.
Unfortunately, a few don't.

Drivel: I'm going for cataract surgery Weds morning. So far, no
problems. Thanks for the advice on the adjustable glasses, but the
ophthalmologist said that my astigmatism correction is small enough
that I should be ok with cheap "reading" glasses until after things
settle down and proper glasses can be ordered.

So, now we know for sure that you're from outer space. You certainly do not live in the USA.

"• Highest employment rate in U.S. history.
• Brought inflation under control.
• Ended the pandemic.
• Led the world's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
• Supported Israel after the Hamas terrorist attack.
• Working to take marijuana off of Schedule 1.
• Rebuilding U.S. infrastructure
• Addressing climate change
• Increasing the number of citizens with health insurance.
• S&P 500 and DJIA record highs (the stock market almost always does
better under Democratic administrations)"

1. Perhaps you forgot the lockdown with most people out of work. Not only has employment NOT returned to normal but AI is replacing people by the thousands. You don't work, do you?
2.https://nypost.com/2022/06/01/janet-yellen-admits-she-was-wrong-about-inflation/ How do you control what you caused and are continuing to try to do so but are being blocked by the Republican majority in the House,. Are you awafe that the House sets the budget? Apparently no.
3.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/covid-cases.html You haven't a passing clue what is happening with the pandemic.Not only is it still active but it is growing.
4. Can you even guess what occurred in the Ukraine? Apparently not. Russian farmers were legally buying farms in the Ukraine and Ukranians that had nothing to do with it began murdering Russians. Putin warned them several times before he took actions to protect Russians. Biden turned it into a war. Since you don't know about it, THE Russians control 80% of the Ukraine.
5. Biden did absolutely nothing about Israel
6. Taking a gateway drug off of the controlled substance list is NOT an accomplishment.
7.What infrastructure has been rebuilt?
8.There is no "climate change". The world's foremost scientists agree on that. Tell me, before all of this carbon was locked up in fossil fuels why didn't the earth burn up?
9. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2024/01/01/us-healthcare-system-leaves-far-too-many-people-underinsured/?sh=64e0591c3366 I have no idea of what you think the affordable care act is. The only thing it did was keep insurance companies from denying insurance to people with preexisting conditions. It did not make it full coverage or affordable.
10. Gee, now there's a real accomplishment. The Market TRACKS inflation in case you are unaware of it.

What you have done is nothing more than repeated the "Fact Check" sites. Every one of them is funded by the Democrates.

>He says those things just to get attention.

That's what I thought for a long time. Being the center of attention
is probably one of Tom's motives, but I think there are other
problems. The one thing that Tom does to gain attention is lie about
everything, even when there's no obvious benefit to lying. When he
tells the truth, nobody notices. When he lies, everyone notices and
Tom gets his daily overdose of attention.

I've been reading his drivel for many years, long enough to see some
patterns.
1. Tom posts a comment to literally every thread, even if he knows
nothing about the topic. If you look at the daily list of threads, a
comment by Tom appears in every thread, often the first comment.
2. Tom intentionally posts wrong numbers and information. There is
no way that someone could get everything wrong without doing so
intentionally. Tom has made correct statements, but the low frequency
of being correct suggests that they were accidental. Being constantly
wrong is not the way to become the most important person in RBT.
3. Tom constantly solicits for advice and help, yet rarely follows
anyone else's advice. If Tom doesn't consider it his idea, he simply
won't do it or he ignores it. I've found a few minor errors in his
online resume, in his previous Strava activities and have offered some
suggestions to his numerous problems. The one thing consistent about
all these is that he has never even attempted to fix any of the
problems that I've found unless he thinks it was his idea.

So, it's not his need to get attention, because he's already maxed out
on all the attention he can get in RBT. If he is not receiving enough
attention in RBT, I would expect him to move to migrate to another
newsgroup and repeat the process. I can suggest some possible
maladies, but I can't prove any.

The earliest posting I could find was in 1992. If Tom hasn't found
what he's looking for in the previous 28 years, I don't think he will
ever find it.

If you read it you would know that Yellen admitted that she was wrong
about the path the inflation would take. Not whether or not there
would be an inflation

>3.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/covid-cases.html You haven't a passing clue what is happening with the pandemic.Not only is it still active but it is growing.
Really? Your reference shows that during 2023 the daily number of
cases dropped from 11553 daily (8 Jan) to 5569 daily (16 Dec).

The actual number seems to be 16%

I didn't check any more. After finding that you got 3 out of the first
4 wrong I decided that you didn't know what you were talking about,

Scharf, are you working? You know nothing about most of the comments you make and then have that Tin Foik trailor?The4 very idesa that
Biden has inceased jobs is hilarious: "https://www.brookings.edu/articles/why-havent-workers-returned-to-the-labor-force-after-covid-19/".

When they decide that a worker has not returned to the workforce is a simple method. IT you do noy go into the unemployment office with proof that you lookerd for work, they mark you as no longer in the workforce. But if unemployment insurance has run out why should anyone go into the unemployment office and stand in a line that goes around the block whe they coulf actually be looking for sork. Rea[[y, I am astonished by what you don't know! You wan't to have good job numbers? Just mark everyone else as out of the workforce.

Someone told me that you said that I couldn't have develooped medical instruments because I don't pay much attention to standards. Since you cannot design or program how would you know anything about it? The design STANDARDS are nothing more than good design practices. But since you're nothing more than a paperwork Flunky you know anything about it.

Really, I suggest you stop showing the world how little you know.

Those polls are not countring real voters. Less than 20% of real voters approve of Biden.
That's why they want nto block RFK Jr. from the ballot. Even Jr. says Trump is a runaway winner discounting election fraud
