Would someone give me an easy to understand

and practical (how it actually helps Americans) listing of President Biden's accomplishments?

I know I could google it but I'd love to hear how some DU'ers would present this information. I'm in TX and a friend (who's progressive but not real active) would like to let her sister know some details...

Thank you!

We get it all in bits and pieces, but I love seeing a comprehensive list of the many accomplishments. When I come across some good ones, I add them to a list I have on my computer. One never knows when it will come in handy, like when someone says, "What has Biden done the past three years?" I especially like charts and statistics!

Chris Hayes has done some excellent segments on this administration's accomplishments. It is often more than I can absorb in one sitting. What I have right now on my computer is rather disorganized and messy.

I could calmly make a list sitting here at my keyboard but when a Trumper gets in my face I can get a little tongue tied.

After a few sentences with a mouth breather shouting, “what about bull shit”, I can not keep a chain of thought.
Plus my damn head is full of a Career science crap and songs lyrics and chords. (All slipping by the way)
Not ashamed to admit. Plus Biden has done so much I can’t recall it all when calm, much less at the point of slapping the shit out of a MAGA in my face claiming God sent trump.

I'm going to do that - What Biden's done and the nightmares inflicted upon us by dt.

Also, I don't have specifics and I don't truly understand the "Chips" situation.

I know more about the Infrastructure Bill but I can dig a little deeper to get more details. I realize I can do the same for Chips....I just thought some DU'ers would be able give their input.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for understanding my post in the spirit in which it was written.

I'll for sure look at your post!

I look forward to seeing more and more posts on the work Biden and his team has done, is doing right now, and is still yet to do, that is meaningful to us here, and can be shared everywhere in the hope that folks will see how meaningful his Presidency has been, and can continue to be, to all of us here in the U.S. and around the world.

starting at whitehouse.gov and then also do a search using "list of Biden accomplishments" including the quotes. Use a search engine like Yahoo etc. that has categories at the top like news, images etc. and then click on images. Now you should see some of the many lists people have made and posted. Just print the ones you want or use them to make a list of your own that is the length you want. There is a very long list in reality.

Then take that list and now switch back to "all" or "web" etc. and look at the list you have and match it up with a brief narrative for that item. Based on what you said I would just do a half dozen major ones and send that and then do another half dozen in a month etc. and keep going.

I doubt you can ever satisfy concerns raised like that but can see the value in compiling a brief summary of the highlights.

Sorry but they don’t. Here are some instances we have used:

Does your H-E-B have toilet paper?
Do you support someone who disrespects our military?
Do you support someone who disrespects wounded warriors?

Do you like to hear a man say grab em by the P word?
How would you like a man’s finger inserted into your vagina against your will?

What does Jesus say in your Bible about the Golden Rule?
What does Jesus say in Matthew 25 in your Bible?

How do you feel about stoning adulterers?

Don’t use facts or logic. You have to shock. Just my opinion. If they say that isn’t true - Hey Siri…

Good luck. 🤗
