But I'd say based solely on the fact that he prioritized getting Americans vaccinated against COVID-19, I'd say he's done a spectacular job so far.
I mean, I voted for Biden not expecting much, and if there were literally viable alternative in November, I probably would have voted for them, and I suspect that "Not being Trump" is probably one of the biggest reasons people voted for him in November. And since it's only been a few months, it's too early to be clear about any accomplishment. But given that he's doing what he can to stop the COVID pandemic, and is actually creating a timeline for when to pull out of Afghanistan, it looks like a case of "so far, so good."
like the last post.. what about everything else? what about the children being held captive at the souther boarder? what about their living conditions? what about china Russia and the Ukraine? what about our gas/oil prices? what about all the purposed taxes and packing the supreme court, adding washington DC as a state when the constitution directly forbids such a move?

The appearance of calm is also a plus for me. I know there's still a lot of things that need to be fixed or stopped or improved but at least we aren't in a constant state of hypervigilance.
I also agree with others who have said it's really too early to tell...Biden has just hit 90 days in office.
so... burning cities and deteriorating race relations doesn't have you in a position of hyper vigilance?

And, frankly, on the OP, I have to say that Biden’s at least trying to make things better. Trump didn’t even try.
did reagan?
Raegan’s policy literally took us to within 15 minutes of nuclear armageddon, closer than another other time during all of nuclear age

but ultimately ended the cold war/Saw the destruction of the berlin wall. which took the imamate threat of thermal nuclear war off everyday life for the world at the time. if you lived then, it was the difference of being at school and doing A-bomb drills (duck and cover) or being at home and hearing the EBS in the middle of a cartoon tone and hoping "this wasn't it" when you were 12 years old, because you did not want to endure a nuclear explosion home alone with your little sister. if you grew up after that i can see how you can just glance over the whole thing like it/Regan's contribution was nothing.

The current situation on our southern border, IE the humanitarian crisis/kids in cages
Biden's dealings with: North Korea, China, Russia, moving to defcon 3
His bid to end America's energy surplus resulting in Higher fuel prices
His role/his expectations for the American people in the pandemic which seems backwards to how Fl/DeSantis is handling things to far greater success.
His dealings in the middle east pulling out of Afghanistan, Pandering to Pakistan to rejoin the nuclear proliferation agreement
His proposed taxes or anything else you think he has done a good job on.
Because i honestly ask people if they think he is doing a good job, and if i get a yes they can not tell me where or what he has done a good job on unless they use trump as a red herring to deflect the question.. so again i get it orange man bad, no need to go down that road (unless too "smart" to come up with anything else, but must be heard).. but for the rest: what merits has a Biden's presidency produced?
Jesus was a "lefty nutbag" according to your magic book. There is no socialist/communist/leftist/hippy policy which he didn't espouse.
Why do you hate jesus?
then why is the left not filled with Christian? why is Christianity closely associated with the right? I can tell you... because even though the mandate is there to give to the poor, the mandate is on the individual to give according to his heart to the poor. not give to the state and then the state take and decide what the poor shall have. so no. if you look at the whole picture the nut bag left has nothing to do with the bible or god which is why christiansdon't tend to populate the fringe left.

Roosevelt, the last chief executive whose first three months were truly momentous.
But in recent times, the 100-day trope has also been taken seriously by presidents — including both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump promised that in his first 100 days he would repeal Obamacare, build a wall on the border with Mexico and persuade Congress to pass term limits.
None of those things happened, but Trump did outdo former holders of the office in one regard: producing unshirted chaos.

which is why i'm asking this question now.. because if you do not know or have some sort of opinion then that in of itself speaks more than anything you can say.

Seems like it.
have you seen his mental... lapses? were you familiar with his speech giving abilities before his presidency/time in the senate, or as vice president, verses now? Joe was a quick witted and mentally sharp... or lets respectfully say seemingly sharper than he is now. it's like two different people. my uncle died having Alzheimer's and a see the same confusion and bleed over in memory/recall in joe as i saw in my uncle.. I'm wondering is anyone else seeing his unedited speeches and efforts to address the public? what about the virtual tours?
