Name one good thing TFG did as president. Is it possible?

[msongs]

let's be fair. I'll wait...

[Takket]

1. he left graciously when his term was up......

OOPS, never mind

[agingdem]

2. He lost the 2020 election...

[Journeyman]

3. He lost the election in 2020 . . .

[leftieNanner]

4. He made us love Barack Obama even more!

If that's possible.

[Diamond_Dog]

5. I can't think of one thing.

[msongs]

6. good answers all

[Stinky The Clown]

7. He helped comedians make us laugh _AT_ him.

[mvd]

8. Helped us do better in future elections with his MAGA crazy endorsements?

Only thing I can think of.

[2naSalit]

9. He finally left the WH.

[BlueKota]

10. Well not for me or most of the country,

but at least he probably made George W Bush feel like he wasn't the worst president in modern history any more.

[KentuckyWoman]

11. Oh THAT'S EASY

The park service had to hire extra plumbers, janitors and painters to fix the clogged toilets and to clean and repaint ketchup stained walls. You know ... people who tend to join unions.

[Johonny]

12. He made George W Bush's presidency

Look a lot better, honest, and productive.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Not sure he actually did it, but the fast track on the covid vaccine happened on his watch...

I guess he couldn't find a way to monetize it. But at least he didn't block it.

[bottomofthehill]

14. Operation warp speed

[Wounded Bear]

15. Yeah, that...nt

[usonian]

16. I hate to say it, but he made national parks free for veterans.

I had already bought a senior pass for $10. Then the price was raised to $76, IIRC.

Then again, Hitler did one good thing. He killed Hitler.

[Tyche]

17. The GI Forever Bill

Now there's no time constraints for those who have served to claim their education benefits.

That's all I can think of (but it's huge to my Marine son).

[madinmaryland]

18. * crickets *

[Conjuay]

20. What did he do for crickets?

I'm sure I would have heard about that!

[Uncle Joe]

19. *rump exposed the Republican Party for what it was,

without all the bullshit, smoke and mirrors.

The GOP; was wearing sweet looking *emperor's clothes, with the primary difference being they knew they were naked, but the fantasy was still there, *rump just strode across the scene naked as a jaybird without even pretending to put invisible clothes on.

*Ie: "Compassionate conservatives" that torture, and wage wars based on lies, that kind of stuff.

Thanks for the thread msongs.

[msongs]

21. yer welcome

[NanaCat]

22. He signed the First Step Act

It created numerous reforms to the federal criminal justice system, such as:

--Better rehabilitative opportunities, such as more investment in academic and vocational education for prisoners.

--More effort to place prisoners in facilities close to their primary residence or to their main family support, no more than 500 miles away.

--More privileges to things like increased phone calls, to encourage family support, one of the top indicators of successful rehabilitation

--More flexibility to sentence low-risk prisoners to house arrest rather than prison

--Lowering the age and time-served eligibility for early release

--An increase in credits for 'good time' served for eligible convicts

--An expansion of compassionate release for terminally ill prisoners

--Expanded how prisons reported on drug addiction treatment for inmates

--A mandate to provide paroled prisoners with identification cards to begin their transition to normal life.

--Reduced mandatory minimum sentences for some drug-related crimes, but increased mandatory sentences if a crime involved using a gun.

--Eliminated the difference in sentencing for crack cocaine crimes versus regular cocaine crimes.

--Prohibited solitary confinement for juveniles

--Banned several LEO and prison practices, like the shackling of women who are pregnant or recovering from childbirth unless the prisoner presented a grave risk of unreasonable flight or causing physical harm

--More funding to insure access to feminine hygiene products in prison

All of these were needed and welcome reforms, and the bill enjoyed bipartisan support.
