It’s certainly a novel way for him to deal with the fact that Americans are watching their money vanish.
Hard-left podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen interviewed Biden. The topics were what would expect—Biden’s race- and sex-based Supreme Court nominee, claims that Trump and other Republicans support Putin, boasts about his strategic genius, etc.—but the real surprise was Biden’s claim that COVID has made Americans so psychologically unstable they can’t understand that the Biden economy is wonderful.
Here’s what Americans know: They are facing hard times. The economy is creeping back, but it’s nowhere near what it was under Trump before COVID. In 2019, unemployment was 3.6%. It went up to 6.7% in 2020. It’s now 4%, still short of the pre-COVID rate.
That 4% doesn’t even include the millions of people who dropped out of the workforce. CBS blames long COVID but it’s a good bet stimulus checks have also depressed the workforce. If people are paid not to work, they won’t work. When government money finally ends, they might come back.
Inflation is a problem, too. While wages have increased, those increases haven’t kept pace inflation’s 40 year high. A 3.5% raise is meaningless if life’s necessities (food, shelter, energy costs) increase in price by 7% or more.
Reagan rightly said of inflation that it’s “as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber, and as deadly as a hitman.” People don’t care whether the inflation is because of the supply chain problem or because Biden’s green energy (or, really, green lack-of-energy) policies have dramatically bumped up the price of fuel. What matters is that their money is losing value daily.

Just get Hunter to sell a few more paintings. No problem for Xao Bai-Dung.
This week I was at a trade show that is one of the biggest ones in my chosen profession.
As a major vendor to this trade, our booth was very busy. It seemed like every single conversation had to do with supply chain, Joe’s imaginary inflation or labor unavailability.
But that dork President would have no idea because he’s insulated from reality and always has been.
Haven't looked at gas prices lately:
His Atlanta speech revealed Biden’s intense dislike for Americans.......
and his displeasure at having created a “perfect government” for us horrible people.
Biden became unhinged in Georgia especially b/c Stacey Abrams was not there to hold his hand .
Biden made one startling declaration after another.
He reviled Americans who disagrees with him about how he has “perfectly” ensured the integrity of the American electoral process.
In his self-serving mind, he’s “perfect”......and has created a “perfect government.”
Americans are just too dumb to understand Biden’s perfection.
Biden lies, (what else is new). Real wages (adjusted for inflation) are down, not up as Joe claims.
‘The brand is so toxic’: Dems fear extinction in rural US

SMETHPORT, Pa. (AP) - Some Democrats here in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.
The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge their party affiliation publicly. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, the few that remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.
“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”
The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from many parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the nation’s political landscape.
The shifting climate helped Republicans limit Democratic gains in 2020 — the GOP actually gained House seats despite former President Donald Trump’s loss — and a year later, surging Republican rural support enabled Republicans to claim the Virginia governorship. A small but vocal group of party officials now fears the same trends will undermine Democratic candidates in Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, states that will help decide the Senate majority in November, and the White House two years after that.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party continues to devote the vast majority of its energy, messaging and resources to voters in more populated urban and suburban areas.

I’m imagining November 2024.
Wow, there’s even been inflation in the graphics embedded into posts.
Biden as usual is dead wrong. I don’t understand how he (or anyone) could say the we Americans don’t understand inflation. Most of us would agree that Biden doesn’t seem to understand much of anything (except how to rig elections to get the desired results). Why isn’t he impeached? Maybe the answer is that you would have to go way down the list of presidential succession before anyone suitable could be found & even that might be nigh impossible.
ROFL. Mao and his communists leveraged the hatred for corrupt government by the elites in the CITIES and took over China in 1947 with RURAL support. Few study history at all. When one tries to tell them, they get upset.
Someone please remove than man and his staff from the WH, PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting.
Why isn’t Bidung being impeached?
.........the answer is that you would have to go way down the list of presidential succession
before anyone suitable could be found & even that might be nigh impossible........

Last June, while being interviewed on the “The Ezra Klein Show” podcast, Obama said: “I think that what we’re seeing now, is Joe and the administration are essentially finishing the job. Ninety percent of the folks who were there in my administration, they are continuing and building on the policies we talked about.”

In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36 - 53 percent job approval rating
Then Biden made a rousing speech about those horrid J6 people “threatening democracy.”
Et voila..... today Biden has an even LOWER negative 33 - 53 percent job approval rating.
Biden’s Georgia speech on voting laws that legalize fraud
to elect Democrats made it clear: voters are filth. Biden must be obeyed......or else.
That should send his numbers into a precipitous nosedive.
Biden’s speeches reveal what he thinks of Americans
He is deeply disappointed in the country and annoyed with those who live here.
In his speeches, you can see clearly how Joe Biden feels about America.
He’s deeply disappointed in the country, and he’s annoyed with the people who live here. Biden doesn’t cajole voters. He harangues and berates them. He patronizes them and issues threats. You cause the corona pandemic. You’re stupid and selfish.
During his entire first year in office, Joe Biden did virtually nothing to improve the actual lives of actual American citizens. And he didn’t because he didn’t even really try.
Making voters happy is not a feature of the Biden equity agenda. Punishment is the point of the equity agenda, inflicting pain on the right people, dispensing rough justice, meting out reparations by other names.
GWB’s speechwriter penned a scathing Op-Ed criticizing Biden for repeatedly morphing into a “victim” and invoking son Beau’s death...... but only when his political chips are down.
Op ed: ‘Biden is not a Gold Star father and should stop playing one on TV’...........
Beau Biden was a noncombatant lawyer reservist .......he died 15 years ago of brain cancer after returning home from a one year tour as JAG in Iraq.
Biden himself had six draft deferments for school and marriage during the Vietnam War, he never served.
Will it really matter how many people vote for or against Biden?
No. If the Powers that Bw want him back in Power. He will be back in. And the sheep won’t even look up from their grazing. Like last time.
“Joe Biden says delusional Americans are imagining inflation”
And we are also imagining a competent President that loves America and that is just as delusional.
