Joe Biden's disastrous 48 hours
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2022 | Joe Concha

Posted on 01/14/2022 8:38:15 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

It's hard to imagine a worse 48-hour stretch for any first-year president than the one Joe Biden endured over the past two days.

On Wednesday, Quinnipiac University released a devastating poll placing the president's public approval at 33 percent, his lowest approval in any poll since his presidency began.

What makes just one-third of the country supporting this president even more remarkable is that Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history: 81 million, or more than 10 million more votes than the previous record holder, Barack Obama. The drop has been unprecedented: Biden sat at 55 percent approval upon entering office almost one year ago.

Also on Wednesday, it was announced that the Consumer Price Index rose seven percent in 2021, its fastest increase since 1982. It was also announced that inflation is now sitting at a 40-year high.

Things somehow was worse on Thursday. The president went to Capitol Hill to rally Democrats around passing voting rights legislation, only to see Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) go to the floor ahead of his arrival to declare that she would not support eliminating the filibuster.

And as if straight out of a political horror movie, not long after the president got news of Sinema's remarks, the Supreme Court ruled to block enforcement of a vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees.

Add it all up: The economy is crippled by high prices and not-so-transitory inflation. The president is rebuffed (again) by a member of his own party on a major initiative. And then his vaccine mandate is struck down by a 6-3 decision in the Supreme Court.

All in less than 48 hours.

These last few days are no worse than every other day for Biden. Are they just now starting to notice?

Joe Biden has no idea what he is saying, doing, heading, or has been. A bunch of Stasi-like Marxists are writing his every word, scripting his every appearance, producing his every interview, pre-approving any questions by the press, and restricting any access from anyone outside the Stasi Staff.

The man is a witless dementia patient living in a non linear series of memories. The real game is the fun in the Stasi staff trying to prevent those bizarre memories from popping out if he goes off script.

There’s no way he received more than 60 million real votes. The fraud was immense.
