Thinking small: Biden scrounges for ways to break through

WASHINGTON (AP) — With his sweeping domestic agenda on hold and images of horror in Ukraine dominating headlines, President Joe Biden is scrounging for ways to demonstrate that he’s still making progress for Americans at a time when many feel the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Six months out from the midterm elections, Biden’s team is betting that smaller, discrete announcements can break through to voters better than talk of transformational plans that are so far only aspirational.

Last week, that meant aides positioned big rigs outside the White House so Biden could talk about efforts to get more truck drivers on the road.

This week, he’s notching his heaviest domestic travel in months. On Thursday, he visited Greensboro, North Carolina, to highlight his plans to boost domestic supply chains and high-tech workforces at North Carolina A&T State University. It comes after a Tuesday stop in Iowa to announce that his administration was granting a waiver to allow more ethanol in gasoline year-round.

After he concluded his speech, the President seemed confused how to exit the stage.

A ‘Scrounge’, that a great way to describe Biden.

It is pretty hard for the Democrats to now change the messaging. What everybody has been getting is, “We are all SO screwed!”

There is just no way to blunt that. You see the effects at every hand.

Let’s go, Brandon.

If Biden tried the Bill Clinton Method to break through it would be Assault with a. Dead Weapon instead of rape.

What announcements? Gun control? The Asspress lunatics are slobbering idiots. Talk about PR for a hated hack and loser.

Break on through (to the other SIDE)

We chased our pleasures here,
Dug our treasures there

AP Has taken the crown for the most biased and nauseating “news” source.

He faced the flag. Back to the audience, looking around at the flag in the middle of the stage. He started to his right turned around then exited stage left.

People see what is right in front of their face, whenever they go to the grocery store or the gas station. Biden’s drivel doesn’t even register anymore. Ridiculous white house photo ops are so 20th century.
