A Horrible Week For Biden, A Great Week For America
Townhall.com ^ | January 16, 2022 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 01/16/2022 3:58:40 AM PST by Kaslin

It’s not often absolutely everything goes wrong. And by “everything” I mean everything. Imagine a day where you get fired, your spouse dumps you, you get food poisoning, all your accounts are hacked, your bank account drained, you get hit by a car, and your dog bites you. That would be a pretty bad day. That was Joe Biden’s week – absolutely everything that could go wrong, did. And it was glorious for America.

It’s hard to overstate everything that happened last week – so much went wrong that you could easily forget some of it. It may well be the worst week for a Presidential administration ever.

I have to qualify that because, obviously, 9/11, the assassination of JFK, Pearl Harbor, etc., are significantly worse events and weeks. But from a strictly political standpoint, no President has ever seen so much, everything, go completely wrong in just one week. If the Biden presidency were a bus, all the wheel just fell off while the transmission broke, the engine seized, and the whole thing caught fire. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Think about the news this week, it’s all been bad for Democrats. Inflation is at a 40 year high, 7 percent over last year. Their attempt to federalize election is dead. The push to get rid of the filibuster ended. Store shelves are empty. The Supreme Court smacked down his attempt to unilaterally issue a vaccine mandate. A new liberal poll shows Biden’s approval rating is only 33 percent. Kamala Harris crashed and burned yet again during another friendly interview. COVID case rates set world records. Even Stacey Abrams didn’t want to be seen with him.

Nothing worked out for Joe this week.

The dirty little secret the media won’t tell you is Joe Biden has never really stood for anything. His career has been spent on whatever side of an issue was advantageous for him at that moment. He’s a “devout Catholic” who now supports taxpayer-funded abortions in the name of “justice.” He’s now a vocal defender of civil rights after a career of racist comments and bragging about his ties with segregationists. That he’s spent his life passionately defending the filibuster when rumors had it on the chopping block under Republicans (something that never even came close to happening) and now he’s actively pressuring Senators to get rid of it to push his agenda tells you what kind of character Joe Biden truly has.

This week treated Joe Biden the way Joe Biden treated Tara Reade – it shoved him against the wall and violated his physical being.

People underestimate the skills needed to obtain a 33 percent approval rating. Each party’s candidate starts off a presidential election with about 40 percent of the vote, blindly loyal. Biden is so bad even people who’d vote for him come hell or high water, have fallen off by almost 20 percent.

When even your party’s candidate for Governor doesn’t want to be seen with you, you know you’ve got a problem. Rather than go to, say, West Virginia to apply pressure to Joe Manchin to change his mind, Joe went to Georgia, a state where he already has both Senators, to apply pressure on the Senate to kill the filibuster. Putting aside how stupid that is strategically, it’s beyond embarrassing when Stacey Abrams passes on a chance to share a stage. Even worse when the President tries to claim there’s some sort of scheduling conflict, which simply does not happen with the President of the United States, you almost have to feel bad for him. Almost.

After his Georgia speech, in which he accused anyone currently holding the position on the filibuster he held until about 15 minutes ago of being some of the worst Democrats ever (George Wallace, Bull Connor), even members of his own party were left scratching their heads. When Majority Whip Dick Durbin, the most appropriately named man in government, says you may have gone a “little too far,” you’ve gone too far.

But there is no “too far” when you don’t believe in anything other than your own power. That’s what Joe Biden is, and it’s what he’s always been.

Is he senile? Of course. Is he corrupt? Absolutely. Is he dumb? Without question. Which of these truths is the overriding factor in how this week fell apart? Does it really matter? That’s like judging a soup by each individual ingredient. If the whole things sucks, who cares if it’s because you had bad celery or bad noodles?

Joe Biden is a bad soup, and this week the country sent it back. We’re all better for it.

Yeah well it was a pretty bad week for healthcare workers too. I am not getting this vax under any circumstances and I do not consider the SCOTUS decision to be a win

If Slo-Joe isn’t told he had a bad week, he wouldn’t know it. If he comes out swinging his arms with a crooked smile, we know he has been briefed that he had a great week.

It wasn’t bad enough by a factor of 10.

I agree. Folks are (rightfully) celebrating the OSHA mandate being struck down, but it seems like they’re forgetting (or not even realizing) that the healthcare workers got screwed. It’s frustrating.

There are millions of middle class American families who have been making out like bandits under Biden. Consider husband and wife who never missed a day of work through the entire scamdemic. This couple, with kids, has had money falling out of the federal sky for two years. If this couple owns a home their real estate value has skyrocketed. If they have a 401K, it’s their best year ever. If they own cars, they are appreciating in value. I can see where a chunk of that 33% is. The bad news for the regime, unless they print another $10T this year, that partial middle class boon will explode in Joe’s face.

I am sure hoping that the Democrats & their Republican allies decide on a Presidential State Funeral instead of a foreign power attacking the homeland to cure this latest Wiley Coyote fall in the polls.

Joe Biden, despite his friendly demeanor, is a vengeful and hateful guy.

When Democrats are down, they always double down.

We can only hope the losing gets so obvious, even NBC & CNN notice

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..... Biden earned an even LOWER negative 33 - 53 percent job approval rating.


But wait....Biden’s Georgia speech on voting laws that legalize fraud to elect more
Democrats made it clear: voters are filth. Biden must be obeyed..........or else.

And his new numbers are?

Oops......can’t measure that precipitous nosedive......yet.

I’m honestly surprised that Ron Klain hasn’t yet resigned his position as Prime Minister, uh, I mean, White House Chief of Staff.

” I do not consider the SCOTUS decision to be a win”

Well, the Democrats had immediate plans to subject over 80 million workers to the mandate, and that went down in flames. And OSHA officals were talking last fall about also applying the mandate to small businesses as well as big, meaning all workers in the U.S. would be subject to the mandate, and that was killed as well.

So yeah, it’s a big win, in spite of what you say.

Seemed like an average week for Biden to me.

Yet he is still there, for now. Everyone knows he’s a dementia afflicted robot, but only now are the lefties beginning to talk about it.
