Joe Biden's disastrous 48 hours
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2022 | Joe Concha

Posted on 01/14/2022 8:38:15 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

It's hard to imagine a worse 48-hour stretch for any first-year president than the one Joe Biden endured over the past two days.

On Wednesday, Quinnipiac University released a devastating poll placing the president's public approval at 33 percent, his lowest approval in any poll since his presidency began.

What makes just one-third of the country supporting this president even more remarkable is that Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history: 81 million, or more than 10 million more votes than the previous record holder, Barack Obama. The drop has been unprecedented: Biden sat at 55 percent approval upon entering office almost one year ago.

Also on Wednesday, it was announced that the Consumer Price Index rose seven percent in 2021, its fastest increase since 1982. It was also announced that inflation is now sitting at a 40-year high.

Things somehow was worse on Thursday. The president went to Capitol Hill to rally Democrats around passing voting rights legislation, only to see Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) go to the floor ahead of his arrival to declare that she would not support eliminating the filibuster.

And as if straight out of a political horror movie, not long after the president got news of Sinema's remarks, the Supreme Court ruled to block enforcement of a vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees.

Add it all up: The economy is crippled by high prices and not-so-transitory inflation. The president is rebuffed (again) by a member of his own party on a major initiative. And then his vaccine mandate is struck down by a 6-3 decision in the Supreme Court.

All in less than 48 hours.

The press should stop calling headlines as “Biden Had” anything? At least be honest and say “Biden Staffers Have Had” ...........

Biden does have one accomplishment. He makes Jimmy Carter look good.

These last few days are no worse than every other day for Biden. Are they just now starting to notice?

Could be. I saw Axios of all places put out a devastating hit piece on him this morning, when Steve Bannon highlighted it this morning on his show.

“that Biden received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history: 81 million, or more than 10 million more votes than the previous record holder, Barack Obama.”

The fact that this writer actually believes this is what l find remarkable. Yeah, a lying C student with Dementia got 10 million more votes than Obama. The “Journalist” is a F’n idiot.

Boy, that's a tough one, all right.

Right up there with how did Epstein hang himself with a paper jumpsuit from an attachment point below his shoulders.

Crazy world, huh?

A big difference between Trump and Biden, generally speaking: Trump lost in lower courts but won in higher courts. Biden wins in lower courts but loses in higher courts.

Love to see this jerk hoisted on his own petard. Loved his little speech last evening wherein he showed his true colors, a bully a hole.

How can anything related to his mandate reversal from the United States Supreme Court be disastrous? From its design, his mandate was announced as a way to get around laws. We happen to be a nation of laws. No one bureaucrat, president, agency director, congressman, of FBI agent, can get around that fact. Oh my they have tried! Every time they do it eventually bites them in the a$$. It’s certainly not a disaster or disappointment when it does. It’s as certain as the sun rising. It’s just a matter of when it does.

C’mon, man. Joe Biden is the best president Putin and Xi have ever had.

He’s leverage to the max by two of the world’s best investors ever.

They got rid of Trump and replaced him with their own and voilĂ !

Now they own it all and can take whatever they want. Starting with Ukraine, perhaps?

Afghanistan was a gift from a grateful ol’ Joe, but now Joe will have to strongly object to whatever comes.

Poor Ukraine.

He had a great week IMO, his handlers leftist agenda is getting hammered and he looks weaker and weaker. They will only double down on stupid, they lack the political smarts of a Bill Clinton and his famous pivot...

That POS, like all of us, are on borrowed time ...sooner or later he will have to answer and face the judge of eternity and he won’t be able to use his connections here on earth to try to get through the pearly gates. Hell is a terrible place to spend eternity. Somewhere down there his name tag is hanging on a prison door awaiting him!
