Finally, something we can agree with Mike Barnicle about! Like Mike, millions of us are worried that Joe Biden isn't up to the job!
On Monday's Morning Joe, Barnicle asked Al Sharpton whether he was "worried" about his "friend" Joe Biden because the presidency is "enormously difficult."

Anyone who’s not worried about Biden’s ability to do the job isn’t paying attention.

I am far more concerned about what Senile Joe is doing to the country.
“In sum, what many Americans see as an abject catastrophe, the elites and their brainless followers, cheer on as a stunning and planned success.”
If inflation is “bad” for most, it may not seem so to this left-wing administration.
Violent crime is on its way to 1970s levels. The combination of defunding the police, radical city and county prosecutors who don’t charge or lock up criminals and emptying jails and prisons have ignited a national crime wave.
The Biden administration shrugs. It offers no new federal help to fund more police or charge freed criminals under applicable federal statutes.
Does it think it is more socially just to let criminals free than incarcerate them? Does it buy into “critical legal theory” that laws do not reflect ancient ideas of right and wrong, but instead are “constructed” by the privileged to oppress the already oppressed?
Is what Americans see as dangerous crime something the Biden zealots applaud as tough social karma?
Americans are tired of the new woke tribalism. Judging individuals on the basis of their race, gender or superficial appearance is amoral and contrary to the entire civil rights movement and the U.S. Constitution. It destroys any idea of meritocracy and divides the country artificially into supposed victims and victimizers.
But do the Biden people see it that way? Or do they promote racial tensions and tribalism as welcome revolutionary fervor?
In that regard, the Bidenites promote identity politics as a good way to stir up the pot, to demonize supposed oppressors and deify the oppressed — all as a way of retaining political power. For the Left, living in a socialist nation controlled by an elite is far preferable to living in a free and prosperous one answerable only to the people.
The public believes the Biden administration has failed America, with disastrous results due either to its incompetence, belligerence or left-wing zealotry.
But Biden and his delusional team seem delighted with what they have wrought. In sum, what Americans see as an abject catastrophe, they cheer on as a stunning and planned success.

This is no reason to enthuse over barnacle. He’d vote for sharpton if the tax welsh ever ran.
Agreed: Barnicle would vote for Sharpton in a heartbeat. But I do think it’s interesting that even a committed Democrat like Barnicle is obviously worried about Biden’s ability to serve as president.
