In a line that was one where you had to rewind the show a few times to make sure it was real, MSNBC regular and Princeton professor Eddie Glaude Jr. appeared on Monday's Morning Joe and, in trying to explain Americans' relatively positive mood nowadays, got off this laugh line: "We cannot underestimate the importance of competence...Competence is actually at the helm."
Seriously? Try this thought experiment, if you dare: Imagine Joe Biden at the helm of the Ship of State. Estimated time to capsizing -- over/under 30 seconds!
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

As evidenced by what?
Which recent Biden speech exuded "confidence"?

They are absolutely competent. They are getting exactly the results they want, and people who disagree with them just conclude they are stupid.
Not incompetent. Evil.

I agree that the Biden administration has been competent in pushing through its hard-left agenda.
But by speaking of competence being “at the helm,” Glaude was implicitly claiming that Biden himself is competent. And that, of course, is a joke.

Competence is nowhere to be found, based on the first 100 days of the Sniffer administration.

Such ridiculous crap. The ONLY problems in the Trump Administration were caused by the infantile, bogus, devisive garbage constantly thrown by the Democrats.

Change that to “100 million Americans.” That’s closer to the truth.
