Biden's Golden Opportunity: A Satirical Call to Action

Bidens  Golden Opportunity: A Satirical Call to Action

Michael Moore's dare to President Joe Biden has got everyone talking. The filmmaker wants Biden to seize the Supreme Court's presidential immunity judgment in favour of former President Trump, and run with it in time left before his tenure ends – or rather, make some bold, unconventional moves.

First on my agenda for Biden: revive that bipartisan border immigrant solution plan that Trump's loyalists so thoughtfully torpedoed. It's time to put aside partisan politics and get things done ¹. This plan aligns with Biden's existing priorities, which include reforming our long-broken and chaotic immigration system ¹.

But here's the kicker: Biden should ban lifetime visas for asylum seekers at US borders. Yes, you read that right. No more visas for life, anywhere on the planet. Period.

Next, Biden should focus on expanding access to mental health care, ensuring it's more affordable and accessible for all Americans. This includes taking on health insurers to expand coverage, delivering the largest investment in school-based mental health ever, and expanding mental health services for veterans ².

Additionally, Biden should prioritize holding Big Tech accountable for its harms, protecting Americans' privacy and safety online, and ensuring AI is safe, secure, and trustworthy ². This includes passing strong bipartisan legislation to regulate data collection, protect kids online, and promote competition in the tech sector.

Other key areas to address include:
- Veterans' Benefits: Delivering on the promise to care for America's veterans, including expanding health care, education, and workforce opportunities ².

- Cancer Research: Investing in research to end cancer as we know it, with a focus on expanding cancer care for veterans ².

- Border Security: Strengthening penalties on fentanyl trafficking and passing the bipartisan border security bill ².

By tackling these critical issues, Biden can build on the progress he's already made and unite Americans around a shared agenda. The added bonus is that it will also deny the Great Devisive Denier, Trump, the presidency and hand victory to Kamala Harris in November!
