If there were any lingering doubts about whether Democrats did the right thing by pushing Joe Biden off the ticket in July, any remaining thought that maybe the president — even in a somewhat diminished state — was right to think that he could have beaten Donald Trump, then the exit polls from this week’s election should have put them to rest.
Because however history remembers Biden (and I think it will be kinder), it’s clear that a solid majority of Americans have determined his presidency to be a decisive failure. In Pennsylvania and Georgia, states Biden narrowly won in 2020, just over 40 percent of voters this week approved of his job performance. Nationally, that number was a tick lower, and roughly consistent with just about every poll over the past two years.
More than two-thirds of voters said the economy was in bad shape, but I don’t think that alone tells the story of Biden’s repudiation. The real reason, I think, goes deeper than any one policy or economic indicator.
Biden’s term started out promisingly enough. I thought he misread his mandate and pursued a more expansive agenda than a lot of voters endorsed, but however one judged the substance of his presidency, you couldn’t argue with his legislative success. Biden signed into law about $2.5 trillion in short-term aid and longer-term investments in education, energy and infrastructure. His administration bungled the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, but he rallied Europe capably in its defense of Ukraine.
Biden performed well enough to stave off his party’s losses in the 2022 midterm elections, which emboldened him to run again. But by then, his approval ratings had already been dropping for months. Consumers were reeling from inflation — the result, at least...

If the Biden administration had a mantra, it would have been: “You’re not really seeing what you think you’re seeing.” Which never actually works. It only infuriates people.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
2 + 2 = 5
The answer to 1984 is 1776.
mmm... I'm guessing everything?
.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.Funny how the WaPo author rewrote this line from 1984 to describe the Biden regime.
The left wing journalists always say sending trillions are “accomplishments”
See my new tagline.
‘The answer to 1984 is 1776’
That’s the truth!
I stole that from Alex Jones.
Biden standing in front of a brick building lit up in red talking about MAGA citizens - half the people in the country - being terrorists.
Classified information in cardboard boxes in his garage (and his butt boys in the press not caring..)
51 Intelligence goons and thugs publishing a letter telling citizens Hunter’s laptop was ‘disinformation’... which was a lie...
Biden putting in a trans thief in charge of Nuclear waste based on the fact he was a cross dresser. Women’s luggage fashions anyone?
Hunter and Biden shaking down Ukraine and Russia and God only Knows how many other countries... diamonds, cash, children?
Open borders, hundreds of thousands of children gone missing. Midnight flights to ‘trick citizens’. A press so stupid they didn’t even look at the situation.
No one in the IRS asking how Biden could afford a Beach Mansion on his salary - - and all his other financial perks...
Biden’s creepy fascination with children. His endless lies and thuggy actions against Republicans. Biden’s butt boys in the press giving him a pass, and a pass, and passes, and a pass, and passes and asking questions like ‘What’s your favorite ice cream’...
The whole four years was creepy, disgusting and embarrassing.
Just about everything........
"Tanking that cackling *****'s campaign will teach those *******s what happens when you **** with a Biden."
Biden will me remembered as well as Millard Fillmore, but, maybe in the company of Warren Harding
I’ll take “everything” for 2,000, Alex.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ~Ronald Reagan
Somewhat diminished? Understatement. Anyway, this is true. If Biden "won" 81 million votes in 2020 and Kamala only got 69 million this week, the odss are no - he would not have beaten Trump.
But he would have gotten a whole lot more than 69 million.
I hope someone has kept a record of that lying letter so those all-so-honorable intel goons go looking for a job. Every single one of them needs to be sent packing. Let them write their books. I doubt anyone will buy them. I hear McD is hiring.
........great compilation of the worst of Biden......
.......need to add some bits on drjill’s aiding and abetting.......
