Biden finds no respite at home after returning from Europe
The Associated Press ^ | March 27, 2022 | By CHRIS MEGERIAN and AAMER MADHANI

WASHINGTON (AP) — With the last nine, unscripted words of an impassioned speech about Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, President Joe Biden created a troubling distraction, undermining his effectiveness as he returned home to face restive Americans who strongly disapprove of his performance on issues that matter most to them.

His comment that Russia’s Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” — an assertion that his aides were forced to quickly clean up — overshadowed his larger message of solidifying the western coalition that’s confronting Moscow.

It punctuated another frustrating moment for an administration that’s struggled to regain its footing — and the American electorate’s support — in the face of an ongoing pandemic, escalating inflation and an increasingly complicated foreign policy crisis that raises the specter of nuclear conflict.

Although he’s forged a united front to punish Russia with sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine, polls show Americans feel no better about his leadership as the bloody war continues.

While running for office two years ago, Biden repeatedly told voters that “the words of a president matter,” and he promised that his foreign policy experience would serve the country well on the international stage.

There’s little doubt that Biden has been able to maintain unusual unity among allies during this war. But by speaking with more passion than caution — particularly in his speech in Warsaw — Biden has also reminded Americans of his proclivity for misstatements at a precarious time for his presidency.

Just 26% of Americans have faith that Biden can manage a crisis or the military, according to last week’s AP-NORC poll.

"Biden voters have blood on their hands."
Bingo. Well put! A wise leader would have helped put the lid back on the pot, and turned down the heat. But Dementia Joe Biden pours gasoline on the fire instead. A special shout out to the "people of color" poll workers who defrauded the ballot box and America by ballot stuffing and running ballots through the counting machines over-and-over.

It's not a Biden "gaffe" when nuclear weapons are on the table. It's not just scolding Corn Pop for peeing in the swimming pool.

I’m surprised he found his way home.

Don't you know, Russia's our "enemy."

According to many here.

The invasion of Ukraine is just the opening salvo of a "March Across the Planet" to get to us.

Hell, I wish them success, because if they finally get close, the retard warmongers on this site might become as strident about defending our borders as those of Ukraine.

So now the AP is taking potshots at Biden. What happened to that old reliable media smokescreen? Maybe the Deep State has decided it’s time for Slow Joe to shuffle off the stage.

Yeah, the AP is having to do some clean up of their own. The Biden Disaster is becoming far more trouble to cover up than anyone imagined. They're now to the point where they're having to lay the ground work for a possible nuclear war. Or a presidential resignation. I'm not sure the Deep State has decided which way they want to go on that.

“Weekend in Delaware?”

First, some fresh nappys, followed by an ice cream cone laced with his handlers’ drugs of choice and he’s down for a long nap in the basement in DE.

WHO stole Joe Biden’s respite while he was gone???

Will the FBI be able to find it and apprehend the thieves?

I just HATE it when I can’t leave my own house for TEN stinking minutes without losing my respite…

Soros, obama and biden would sacrifice 1000 times the ukranian deplorable, unwashed people to get putin out of power. He remains standing against bidens new world order.
A deep state was likely installed in ukraine in 2014. I have heard a few snippets from scott alans book on the deep state trump had to work with.

“Hard to have a “footing” when you keep sticking both feet in your mouth.”

And then shooting them.

Joe Biden is the champion of every neocon on Free Republic. He’s their man.

They will get what they want even if their fool has to mumble and bumble US into it.

This AP writer, like his legacy news toadies, doesn't have a clue. The only domestic issue he raises as a problem for Biden is inflation. It's true that Joe and his party are taking inflation lightly but there a myriad of other domestic failures this tone-deaf AP writer doesn't see as a problem. This is fine by me because a majority of independents and even some democrats will be pulling the R lever come November 2022 because they are fed up with more than inflation, namely:

The invasion on our southern border
Insane high fuel prices
Govt overspending
Election Integrity
Violent cities
Dems anti-police position
Light to no prosecution for BLM and Antifa terrorists
Govt Covid overreach
H-1B visas taking American jobs
Educators tyranny
Green Tyranny

Let the dems and their media friends keep believing that their policies are being embraced by the majority of Americans. Come Nov 2022, let's pray America sweep these tyrants out of power from all U.S. institutions!
