    Okay, fine. Let me try again.

    You can’t meaningfully respond to the substance, so you’re seizing on weird little trivialities – out of this list of billion- and trillion-dollar scale good things Biden did, one and only one of them was merely a good-faith attempt to do something good, and it didn’t succeed! Dude sucks.

    That’s a very bad argument, and I feel like I’ve spent entirely too much time at this point explaining why that is. Happier with that?

      I argued with what I took exception to.

      If you don’t want me saying that you’re trying to pass off failure as success, I’ve already said how you can avoid that in the future.

          Well, I just re-read it, and you were right: it was tedious.

          But since you asked: I’m not great with the implication that asking the DEA to look into descheduling is an accomplishment, either. You did ignore what the other commenter said about democrats always managing to find the votes to bomb foreigners, but I figured you wanted to focus on what you took exception to, and not start a slapfight over every last word in someone’s comment. I’m only saying this now because you asked, not out of any desire to provoke or indulge further combativeness.
