So high inflation, increased crime, and the open border are manufactured problems?

Nevermind, Republicans dont want to allow immigrants to come into AMerica and fill those jobs.....geniuses like Tom want to round up 10 million dishwashers, hotel maids, and farm workers and send them out of the country despite the fact their employers are starving for more labor - not less.
What do you say to people who bitch about unfilled jobs while also bitching about the people who could fill them?
Dont say anything. Just point and laugh.
America welcomes all, just do it legally.

In no particular order
inflation, new 40 year high today 7.5%
oil approaching $100 a barrell, double digit food increases
supply shortages
record budget deficits
illegal immigration (over 2m & decreased deportations)
Afghanistan, Iran
Russia & Chinese aggression
Iran & NK getting nuclear weapons
out of control crime increases (NYC stores now lock up their inventory to prevent mass theft)
mandates
confused messaging on covid
president unable to communicate clearly & unable to show strong leadership

Not true. In 2018, about three-quarters of Congressional Republicans voted to reduce legal immigration by 40%. And applying for asylum has been legal for many, many years, yet Fox News and others portray them as invaders.
Incidentally, I'd be happy to back up any of the claims I just made because my view of honesty is VERY different than Boilerman's and Jerry Ice's. And I'm proud to say that.

Yes. The current high inflation is being accompanied by a booming economy and unprecedented wage growth, which the conservitards who fling shit at Biden conveniently forget to mention. People have more money to spend and are buying stuff. You really have to twist yourself into knots to depict that as a bad thing.
"Increased crime" is a phantom, in that crime rates rise and fall, and if you want to "prove" some political point, you can cherry-pick the data by choosing your time frame (and I anticipate stupid Tommie-poo doing exactly that)--but the truth is, overall, on a per capita basis, crime rates have been going down steadily over the last several decades. Some types of crime are up in the short term, because of the gradual easing of the pandemic.
There is no "open border." That's an idiot conservitard talking point.
Here's what's manufactured, Roger, me boy: the outrage directed at Biden over problems he didn't create (covid, and all the dumb anti-vax fucks who have helped to prolong it), has no influence on (inflation), aren't actually problems when taken in context (inflation), are short term (mild spike in crime rates), or don't exist in the first place (the TRILLIONS of ILLEGALS who are FLOODING across our borders EVERY DAY!!!!!!).
I don't think Biden is a wonderful President by any stretch (he was about my eighth choice in the primaries). But he's a good man trying to do an insanely difficult job--the most difficult in the world, in fact, and in the midst of a global health emergency. So Jesus fuck, let's cut the guy some slack. But of course, Moscow Mitch has publicly stated that the sole goal of the RepubliQ, like it was with Obama, is to stop Biden from doing anything and everything he wants to do. So, part of that effort has been to spread propaganda depicting Biden as responsible for all of the ills of the world, while scrupulously avoiding giving him even the slightest credit for trying to fix them.
And of course, conservitards eagerly lap up all this crap that was manufactured for them. Clear?

Yes, before Biden, NYC merchants just left their stores unlocked when they went home for the night! Now, BEECUZ UV BIIIIIDEN, they have to lock their doors!
GAWRSHHHHH!!!!!
(Nothing else in stupid Tommie-poo's list is real/an actual problem, but this one, I found particularly hilarious.)

Based on current polling, America doesn't agree with you, and it's not just "conservitards", that's very clear.

Not exactly. The latest polling shows Biden ahead of the two leading Republican contenders, Trump and DeSantis.
In today's polarized climate, most presidents are going to be somewhat unpopular. So a better comparison would be Biden's popularity now with Trump's at the same point in his presidency.
But you REALLY don't want to go there, do you Roger?
