In National Review Saturday morning, the great and the good are affirming their “long-held doubts about Biden’s ability.”
The question that Biden’s media allies and the Washington establishment are now privately wondering: Is the Afghan disaster an aberration, or will the calculated risk they took in helping Biden into the White House prove to be an unending series of headaches and embarrassments?
So why in the world did you geniuses deep-six Bernie Sanders back in March 2020? Imagine: if Bernie had been the nominee and defeated by Trump then everything going wrong, from Afghanistan to the cruel end of the rent moratorium, would be Trump’s fault. Yum!
According to John Hinderaker, the Brits are writing scathing articles in the Daily Telegraph about President Biden “owning” the decisions and the “consequences.”
Translation: what Gaetano Mosca calls the “ruling clique” has suddenly noticed that Houston We Have a Problem.
I guess you could say that this is progress. Up till now, the only thing the “ruling clique” cared about was that Trump is a Problem. Otherwise everything was copacetic, except that we had only 12 years to save the planet.
As for the rest of the ruling class, the credentialed and educated liberals everywhere from tech to think tanks to universities to media to NGOs and the nice liberal ladies and their virtue-signaling #WeBelieve yardsigns? They don’t have a clue; not yet.

I don’t think anybody in the Dem Party thought Biden had any abilities at all; even Obama, during Biden’s VP term, rarely let him out in public because he always screwed things up.
He was picked because he was historically very left wing, corrupt and knew where the bodies were buried, dumb and easy to manage, and so gaga that the public would feel sorry for him and he wouldn’t be held responsible for anything. This has turned out to be the case with many Dems, who coo over Biden’s every lovable bumble.
They probably thought he was electable and then could be discreetly retired later. But they didn’t count on the fact that he’s an angry old man and still aware enough to want to hang onto what he has single-mindedly wanted all of his life: power. He won’t just go away gracefully. So now they don’t know what to do.
As senilty takes hold often the worst traits become stronger
Dems have a frakenstein on their hands
More like an Igor.
the LEFT thought it would be a good idea to give a loaded gun to a monkey
now they are dodging bullets
That is until the peasants voted for Trump over Hillary, and defied the wisdom of their betters.
Now the National Review is catching a little too late they are replacing The Weekly Standard.
Best description for this situation, (paraphrased),
it’s like being duct taped in a chair watching a three year old playing with a loaded gun.
very well said and so true.
They do indeed. I have a feeling they all hope he’ll fall down the stairs or something…or at any rate, they’ll all wake up one morning and find out that he didn’t. If he doesn’t do the right thing and drop dead, they’re going to have to deal with the monster themselves.
It would be funny watching them if it weren’t for all the damage he’s doing in the meantime.
The ones behind the curtain are going to do a lot worse before it’s over. And with complete immunity.
Maybe he was picked because they expected to lose. Only corona and mail in voting put this idiot in office. Even the Democrats didn’t expect him to win. I expect him to be jettisoned soon to save the party.
Very true.
Ever hear about vote fraud? No flipping way this guy won the most votes ever. No way. None.
It has been increasingly obvious that the Ruling Clique actually can’t rule.
They get some licks in but their efforts are repeatedly thwarted and by loss of the Presidential authority are in a position overall to rule
Or Abby Normal...
Trump's Fault!
Kamala will lend a hand
I never understood why the ‘rats decided on Biden. The election was fixed anyway, so they may as well have gone with Bernie or Liz Warren. It’s not like Joe has been any less radical or socialist than Bernie.
“I never understood why the ‘rats decided on Biden.”
They wanted a mindless meat puppet. But instead of “Weekend at Bernie’s,” they got “Revenge of Frankenstein.”
