Biden’s disappointing prime-time speech was a con job
NY Post ^ | March 12, 2021 | 10:03am | Post Editorial Board

Low as our expectations were, President Biden still disappointed with his speech Thursday night.

We’re supposed to hope that if all goes well, we can gather with a few others outdoors to celebrate Independence Day? Sorry, sir, we can do that now. And Americans by the tens if not hundreds of millions are.

And in Texas, Florida and other states, they’ll be packing stadiums by Memorial Day — with precautions, sure. But half the country’s done with extreme cautions.

Whether Biden knew it or not (and how would he?), the whole thing reeked of what another president, in a very different context, called “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”

He made a big deal of upping the vaccine supply, something that was hardwired in long before he took office. Anyone in the Oval Office would have built on the progress already made to do that.

And he’s still pretending his goals for jabs nationwide were bold, when the nation had already met that daily total by Inauguration Day. And in claiming the United States leads the world, he’s ignoring Israel. (But we fear he’s going to be making a habit of that.)

Same but worse for his targets on reopening schools, where he’s actually backtracked. Yet all the science says it should be done yesterday, not weeks or months down the line.

Part of it, we guess, is that he needed to accentuate the negative to justify his $1.9 trillion spending spree, even though most of it has nothing to do with relief, recovery or the virus, but only rewarding his party’s special interests and ideologues.

The whole thing felt like a con job, trying to sell Americans a bridge they already own. Our only question is whether the president knows that, or he simply has no clue.

The Democrats got everything they wanted, now they are just punishing Americans for not bending over and saying “please sir may I have another”.

Precautions, my ***.

Don’t want to risk it?

Fine.

Stay home.

President Le Petomane reads what they put on the teleprompter.

He is riding off of what Trump did. Once the states fully open there of course will be less unemployment and more jobs created. If he just leaves taxes alone and didn’t change anything the economy would have revived itself and continued to take off. But he won’t leave it alone and kill the economy.

He has no clue.

The media still licked his nuts and worshipped his leg hairs.

Don’t expect anything better from a lying, murdering, traitorous vegetable and his (including defense dept) kakistocracy.

Ouch. When you have a major newspaper. Yes, the Post is a major circulation newspaper, putting out an opinion like this it is really bad news.

No way to sugarcoat it. They stated the facts and gave an opinion that most sober people would agree with.

The fact that the word “jabs” (instead of “shots”) is being used by multiple venues precipitously and simultaneously, means that the word has some psychological purpose in manipulating people.

The NY Post is listed as a conservative site which it is NOT. The Post is a reliable purveyor of Fake Narratives, and daily advances the pretend reality created in the psychological war against normal Americans.

Who decided this word was valuable, and why, I do not know. But the m.o. is so dreary and obvious, TPTB must have some reason.

In the meanwhile, the Post using the foreign word “jab” indicates what side they are on.

We don't need no steenking Bill of Rights! Shut up and obey, peons. Trust us, it's for your own good. Besides, you're too stupid to know what's for your own good anyway.

The NYT actually pointed out his wrong and/or misleading statements in a Fact Check article that appeared on Yahoo. I was shocked.

No Landru was far more lifelike.

You’ll issue chit. Zero, Nada, Zip. Because we’re finished listening to this tripe. You have no authority to confine healthy people under quarantine. You’re a fake, your administration is a fake.
Don’t like this rant, send it to the Fat Boys Institute. Maybe they could stop chasing the Boogaloo Boys long enough to pull there heads out and take a breath. We have no legal Congress - they have abrogated their responsibility. Our courts refuse to hear our pleas. Our executive is fake. Our military is nothing but a bunch of pension coddling eunuchs. Is there not ten men who will stand up for our country?

“Guidance” which, hopefully, will be widely ignored.
