So, what does Biden have?
Biden doesn't have a true Senate majority, he has a 50/50 split with Kamala as the tie-breaking vote. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Semana are conservative Democrats, which means Biden doesn't have enough liberals to guarantee passage of bills. Trump had more than enough conservatives to pass any law he wanted.

Biden is literally in the thread title, and you mentioned children in the post = on topic. Watch the vid, bidens doing his ride, he normally turns right at that point everyone was expecting him to turn right, people were surprised when he went of course, he see's the little girl and takes a left toward her. It looks like he's trying to sniff her, and the hand, it's creepy.

Actually, Trump and the Republicans passed very few laws of any consequence in 2017-18 except for the big tax cut.

Because he's not allowed to. Biden, unlike Trump, sticks to the constitution. It's not Biden's fault that that constitution is broken as designed.

You are so full of it.
"By the end of 2021, 41 judges had been confirmed, the most since Ronald Reagan.[1] By the end of his first year in office, Biden had nominated 73 individuals for federal judgeships, one more than president Donald Trump during the same point in his presidency".
And he's just getting started.

You left out the part where Moscow Mitch wouldn't even let an Obama nominee come up for DISCUSSION much less a vote, yep, real leader Moscow Mitch. He publicly announced the platform of the republican party is NO platform, LITERALLY, and they have stuck to it, not a single repub sponsored bill has come forth and I am sure you and the rest of the ultrarightwingnuts LOVE it, especially now that is is proven SCOTUS is now a strictly political arm of the religious ultrarights.

You left out the part in your comment that has anything to do with the original posters claim that Biden wasn't appointing any judges whereas in fact he's appointed more than Trump.

And everyone knows that. You just don't want to acknowledge the fact Moscow Mitch ruled the senate and would not allow even discussion of Obama nominees for SCOTUS.
It would have been a much different world if that had happened with judges more inclined to be actually impartial as opposed to the POS members we have now, the political arm of the religious ultraright.

You are arguing about something that has nothing to do with the OP or my response.
You may as well tell us that you like strawberries.
Plus you are lying, Obama appointed plenty of federal judges as well as two Supreme Court justices..

Yes but Moscow Mitch stopped any more after that, including Merick Garland now our AG but that will only be a few years if zombies win.

Moscow Mitch stopped Biden from getting in a SCOTUS pick.

That would have been Obama, not Biden.
