The One Thing Joe Biden Simply Doesn't Seem to Get
Townhall ^ | 7 Jun, 2022 | Matt Vespa

It's confirmed. Almost every major liberal publication is reporting that Joe Biden is angry that his approval ratings are abysmal and that he's not being credited for doing a good job. Old man, you need to work at that—and everyone knows you can't do it. You can't do the job. It's more than just shuffling out there and giving a speech. That's not solving a problem. You can't create any more czars, either. Every task force you've created has solved nothing.

It's not the adults who are in charge. It's the mentally challenged—truly.

How could this administration be this incompetent? It knew a baby formula shortage was coming for months, and it did nothing. Biden and his crew thought their party affiliation and the liberal media would make this issue go away. The magic crisis fairies would make everything better. Reality check: it didn't. Suburban mothers can't feed their babies. And when "I don't know" is the position of this White House when it comes to when they figured out, they were heading up s**t's creek. It adds more to the narrative that this guy doesn't get it.

Biden is also mad that people correct him all the time. Sorry, grandpa—those people probably helped stave off World War III with your ridiculous remarks about the Ukraine-Russia war. Your staff must clarify your remarks because they're idiotic, terrible, or outright unintelligible. Some are a Frankenstein creation of all three.

Meanwhile, everyone is getting torched by your Build Back Better agenda. Inflation is high. Gas prices are through the roof. Job growth is anemic. The economy shrank last quarter. We're in a recession. But Biden now thinks that the only way he can fix this is by—get this—getting out in public more. I'm not kidding (via Politico):

The plan is to put Biden on the road to highlight progress being made, even incrementally, in meeting the series of tests, with visits this week to California, where he will preside over a summit of Western Hemisphere allies, as well as New Mexico to push for his climate agenda. The administration will also set aside its reluctance to work with “a pariah” nation with hopes to spur oil production. And it plans to sharpen its attacks on Republicans, aiming to paint the GOP as out-of-touch with mainstream America on issues like gun safety and abortion, all while hoping the upcoming Jan. 6 congressional hearings will further color the party as too extremist and dangerous to return to power.

But first aides need to quell the finger-pointing that’s been erupting internally and the increasing concern over staff shakeups, according to five White House officials and Democrats close to the administration not authorized to publicly discuss internal conversations. They also increasingly are trying to soothe the greatest source of West Wing frustration, coming from behind the Resolute Desk.

The president has expressed exasperation that his poll numbers have sunk below those of Donald Trump, whom Biden routinely refers to in private as “the worst president” in history and an existential threat to the nation’s democracy.

After publication, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said: “This depiction of the White House is simply divorced from reality.”

Far more prone to salty language behind the scenes than popularly known, Biden also recently erupted over being kept out of the loop about the direness of the baby formula shortage that has gripped parts of the country, according to a White House staffer and a Democrat with knowledge of the conversation. He voiced his frustration in a series of phone calls to allies, his complaints triggered by heart-wrenching cable news coverage of young mothers crying in fear that they could not feed their children.

Biden didn’t want to be painted as slow to act on a problem affecting the working-class people with whom he closely identifies. Therefore, when aides convened a meeting with formula company executives, the president — against the advice of staffers — publicly declared it took weeks before details of the shortage had reached him, even though the whistleblower complaint that led to the shutdown of a major production facility was issued months ago. Some aides feared the moment made Biden look out of touch, especially after the CEOs in the very same meeting made clear that warnings of the shortage were known for some time.

Well, Joe—this is your fault. You acted slowly because you are slow. Your mental capacity is shot. You have no idea what's going on, and your staffing does suck. Your approvals are radioactive, so no Democrat really wants you around. You're going to stumble, mumble, and trip over yourself trying to say how great a job you're doing on the road. I mean, I hope he does this as it only increases the GOP's chances of cleaning up during the midterms. This is contingent on them being smart and ending these bipartisan talks on gun control and immigration, of course.

Communism has never worked before either...except for the elites who escaped the ire of the population. Does Joe expect people to be happy about the never-ending boot stomping on their face?

It’s *NOT* incompetence. It’s carefully planned.

Biden is a moron, literally. The next interview he does, if he ever does one with a legitimate news outlet, the first question should be, “What day is it?” I bet he can’t answer that without looking at his watch.

This is very well-written and so very true.

Are we supposed to sit and wait around for him to make some horrible mistake?

He scares me.

Biden is angry that he gets blamed for the things he has done and doesn’t get credit for the things he hasn’t done.

The Biden administration reminds me of Smokey and the Bandit, where Biden is like the truck driver, just sitting back and enjoying the drive while the media acts as the Bandit, keeping the truth away from the people.

They can't seem to figure out that a lot of people don't believe the media anymore, and use their own experience to make decisions. And when gas prices and food prices and stupid COVID restrictions are part of everyone's day to day life, they know where the blame lies. Can't "message" your way out of that.

“ an existential threat to the nation’s democracy.”

You bet Trump is an existential threat to “our democracy”.

That’s why I love him.

The One Thing Joe Biden Simply Doesn't Seem to Get

Misleading title; there are dozens of things Brandon doesn't get. In fact, I can't name even one thing that he DOES get. Joe's lights are on, to the extent that he still has a heartbeat & can usually eat an ice cream cone - but nobody's home...

I really don’t understand why anyone could think Joe Biden anything. He doesn’t anything at all. He reads speeches from a teleprompter. He walks around with Secret Service protection. He rides around in motorcades. Everything else is not Joe Biden. He is the figurehead of all figureheads. The only thing that he can do to affect the operation of the government is blurt out something that his puppeteers have to walk back or act on as a last resort or simply they can ignore him. But to think there is one thing he doesn’t get is to give him credit for all the other things he doesn’t get which is pretty much everything.

The Democrats have us in a real pickle. We are addressing the cognitive ability of a nonentity and they are running around doing all sorts of evil stuff. We worry about what Joe Biden thinks or gets or understands when we should be trying to find out who is actually in charge. That is the existential question we should be dealing with.

“The plan is to put Biden on the road to highlight progress being made”

Sure, progress to these filth will be when gas tapers to $10/gallon then plateaus.

Biden gets it — it is the American people who don’t understand that their country is betrayed intentionally.

Smokey and the Bandit movie was entertaining. There is absolutely nothing entertaining about the evil that is the Biden administration. Nothing.
