We Are Governed by People Who Suck

Let’s face it: Joe Biden sucks.

Everything about him sucks. He sucks as a messenger, his economic policies suck, he completely sucks as a truth-teller. He sucks in the integrity department.

And people suffering from the debilitating effects of old age can tell you that absolutely sucks. You are not the person you used to be, and you can’t do the things you used to do.

Joe Biden sucked before he became increasingly, cruelly incapacitated by the decline of his faculties. Thursday’s Potemkin sham of a press conference, in which pre-written questions and scripted answers replaced an honest dialogue with the American people over the state of our union, made that clear.

That press conference sucked. It wasn’t a press conference; it was a book report.

We shouldn’t have been forced to embrace Biden’s suck.

Biden’s family sucks for putting him, and us, through what’s going to obviously get much worse over time.

This man has the toughest job in the world, and it’s obvious he’s not up to the task. If you can’t answer questions off the cuff from an almost universally friendly press corps, it means you suck at the job.

We’ve had presidents who have sucked before. But not since Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in office and finished his second presidential term as an invalid, mostly comatose, with his wife running the country as a proxy president, have we had a situation sucking as badly as this one clearly will.

Who is driving this stink barge? The article is a bit old, but Biden gas not gotten better with age.

[cuban leaf]

It’s easier to get elected than to get hired.

[Osage Orange]

Well we know Camel’s suck

[WASCWatch]

Certainly applies, literally, to Kamala Harris.

[dragnet2]

More accurately, we are governed by people with bad intentions.

[Lurkinanloomin]

We got the suck of Joe Biden because the GOP sucks.

[Kickass Conservative]

The Author is confusing Governance with Rule.

Governance is protecting Individual Rights while Rule is diminishing those same Rights to justify “equity” in a Totalitarian Society.

[Little Ray]

More like we are ruled by people who are sick: They are senile, corrupt, mentally ill, perverted, etc., mix and match as necessary.

[SaxxonWoods]

Yes...And???

[glimmerman70]

Most are liars and thief’s.. if there is any half way honest one they are drowned out.

[R0CK3T]

Actually while I agree that they suck, I would say that what precludes that in importance and impact is that they LIE.

And the MEDIA is their propaganda tool to give them cover for their LIES.

[Leep]

they do not suck at getting what they want while demoralizing America.
In particular our children.

[Texas resident]

We are governed by people who are sick, twisted, maniacal control freaks.

[right way right]

We have ceded all power to power hungry tyrants that suck.
Shouldn’t have done that.
The government is a magnet for demons that suck away our freedom.
People have chosen their king.
King government.

[GreyFriar]

I’m wondering when folks will begin calling President Biden “President Hoover?” Why, because, per the columnist, he has great vacuum suction.

[Major Matt Mason]

But not since Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in office and finished his second presidential term as an invalid, mostly comatose, with his wife running the country as a proxy president, have we had a situation sucking as badly as this one clearly will.

What is it about our side that we can't admit that Obama was the worst in history (and is still running the show, BTW)? Wilson was bad, but Obama did far more damage to this country, and is still doing so.

[Mariner]

Ochlocracy always sucks, it’s never been any other way.

Anacyclosis says the only way out is the dictator who “eliminates corruption” and makes the trains run on time.

[liberalh8ter]

We have to stop voting for people to rule over us as opposed to people who represent us. Doing the former is insane.

Now there’s one thing you might have noticed i don’t complain about: politicians. everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck.

Well where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from “another reality”. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities. And they’re elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in. Garbage out. If you have selfish ignorant citizens…

If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant leaders. And term-limits ain’t going to do you any good. You’re just going to wind up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So maybe… maybe… MAYBE, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here like: “THE PUBLIC”. Yeah the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: “the public sucks, fuck hope”.
