“You are out of free articles!”

Okay, I tried! Did they not mention Trump’s presidency, BTW? Not that I would believe it. NR says that “it’s hard to find another” modern presidency that is failing as badly as Biden’s and I’m curious to know whom they _did_ find.

A little more humility, a greater willingness to say “no,” and a more acute understanding of why he won in the first instance would all have gone a long way.

He didn't win.

Actually, the first error should be running for president with Alzheimers.

It’s an uneasy comfort because it was cheaty minority that did.

Brandon didn’t know where he was or what he promised anyone from one day to the next to be able to fulfill any of them. He’s a meat puppet being manipulated by morons.

At least we can take comfort in the knowledge we did not vote for this.

We can. NR can't.

Joe Biden spent almost 50 years demonstrating to the world that he’s nothing but a corrupt, retarded loser. I find it hard to believe anyone at NR would have expected anything more from him in the White House.

The National Review is nothing more than a rag that promotes never trumpers.Just like the other fake news outlets.

Biden didn’t do any of those things.

Any publication either praising or slamming Biden for something he supposedly did is consciously lying to you.

And anyone who takes NR seriously has seriously misunderstood our country, our place in the world, and what “conservative” means, if it still means anything at all.

It doesn't matter WHO the American people vote for.

MARK ZUCKERBERG chose Biden, and so it was!

The thesis of this article is fallacious as it presumes alternatives to the entirely predictable disaster of a Biden administration. There are and were no such alternatives or possibilities and anyone with half and brain knew that before he stumbled into office.

The irony is that it’s not hard to see and has been known for decades.

I have a drean...

Thinking along the lines of certain people coming to their senses, for instance, some perhaps basically decent in High Tech, who may have been involved in the Tech part of the Election fraud...coming forward to be honest and admitting their horrible activities last year.

But then, there are NO DECENT PEOPLE IN HIGH TECH

GOOD GRIEF, THERE ARE NO DECENT PEOPLE IN THE FBI.

I think that I can summarize the flaws in this essay on two points:

(1) Biden is not calling the shots. It is futile to talk about what President * thinks unless it is shorthand for what the evil cabal controlling him thinks.

(2) Whoever is actually making the decisions defines success differently than normal patriotic Americans. A prosperous, powerful, and happy America is not the goal.

How Biden Blew It

Of course Biden blew it. It was in the cards. But never Trump NR wanted anything but Trump.

The question is how did these has beens who lost their way when WFB joined his Redeemer in Heaven blow it. Well, we know. They were idiot second raters who were full of themselves.

PS why do we post anything by NR here except as an object lesson in hubris.

Biden is a low IQ, amoral, piece of garbage who was willing to participate in a massive nation-wide fraud to steal the presidency from its rightful winner. Add to that his brain turning to complete mush, and we have the answer to “How Did It All Go So Wrong So Quickly?” This endeavor was doomed from the start, with the entire nation and its allies as its victims. Everything the dummocraps touch turns to s_____.
