No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Yes, lying all the time must be very tiring.
Maybe you should stop doing it.
Were you honestly unaware that Biden built the wall or resumed student loan repayments?
so... the wall had already been ordered and paid by congress under the Tramp administration, so the Biden administration followed the law?
Basically yes that's my understanding. When Congress appropriates money for something, the Executive Branch is obligated by law to spend that money on what Congress appropriated it for.
As much as I hate the whole border wall thing if Biden just said "Fuck Congress, we're not doing that" it almost certainly would lead to a world where the next Republican president uses that same idea to essentially end things like Medicaid or SNAP.
It'd give them a legitimate excuse for an impeachment, as opposed to the trumped up bullshit they kept trying for the last three and a half years.
I mean they might straight up just end medicaid or SNAP anyways, at this rate
