Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

But it doesn’t matter either way because the incoming admin is gonna rip it up and chuck it into a wood chipper within a couple of weeks.
You aren’t serious about planting trees if you only do it with a hurricane approaching…but yes, we should be planting trees
One observer doesn't understand it's still part of his 2020 campaign.
And, OK, fine.let's just put Cuba back on the list you little whiney shit.
Of course they would, his critics have been shitting all over everything he's done for the past 4 years. Granted, he should have done it sooner, but the only time it'd be "too late" would be if Cuba was gone altogether.
These people are attacking the man and his actions just for the fact that they're attached to him. If Trump were to do the same in 5 days, he'd be lauded as a hero. Instead Biden has simply given him something else to add to his list of Democratic policies to undo.
My problem specifically with this isn't Biden, it's that it's so late that it will only exist for a handful of weeks before Trump turns it around again. They literally say it in the first line in the article. I almost feel like that was the intention. It's "safe" to do it now because they know Trump will just turn around and undo it.
If there's one thing America cannot stand it's a communist/socialist country existing.
And that's exactly what I thought when other articles were saying he might do it yesterday. And I'm 100% positive that's the intention. Biden knows he's going to reverse it, purely put of spite. He's hoping that when Trump does, it hurts his relations with Xi and Putin.
Why would they care? Why would they expect any different? It's American policy for 60 years or some shit. Regardless of party
I don't think "Critics" is of Biden. It's of the delay.
