Joe Biden’s Presidency Reaches the Self-Pity Stage
Commentary ^ | 31 May 2022 | Noah Rothman

Posted on 05/31/2022 4:29:04 PM PDT by Rummyfan

An NBC News profile of the Biden White House details the classic strategies any listing administration employs to avoid reckoning with its own shortcomings. The president, we’re told, inherited a historic mess from which no mere mortal could extricate the nation. On top of that, new and equally momentous challenges suddenly presented themselves. Biden has been ill-served by his unfit and meddling staffers. And Republicans in Congress, who stubbornly continue to exist, won’t just roll over and die. It’s all rather vexing, and the White House wants you to know it.

Biden is reportedly “unhappy” with staffers who feel that they must “clean up” his comments when those comments undermine longstanding U.S. policy, contradict his administration’s position on issues, or are generally incomprehensible. “Any assessment of Biden’s performance needs to take into account the epic challenges he faced from the start,” NBC’s dispatch conceded, citing one friendly author who claimed the president is contending with “the most daunting set of challenges arguably since Franklin D. Roosevelt.” In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday under Joe Biden’s byline, which can only be read as a companion piece, the president lashed out at the Federal Reserve and Congress for failing to curtail inflation.

Reminds me of the last days of Rome.

He’s not insane. That probably the nicest thing anyone could
say right now.

How exasperating to try and deal with reality when a regime is living in it’s own fantasy world.

But Joe said he would stop covid and make the economy great. He failed at both.

This guy is pathetic. He hasn’t progressed socially, mentally, or intellectually past the third grade.

I’m not a psychologist, so I’d have to wing it.

If I understand accurately, an insane person doesn’t grasp
normal reality, and may act out violently against another
human.

With dementia, the person doesn’t remember a lot of things,
but is not prone to see things verging on the paranormal
and strike out wildly, harming others.

We did not pity Benedict Arnold.

Norway did not forgive Vidkun Quisling. (source of term call Quisling)

Why would Slo Joe be any different. Clearly the ChiComs own him and his favorite son.

“Reminds me of the last days of Rome.”

The reason Rome collapsed is because it became an overly inflated bureaucratic cesspool that existed solely to justify its existence and keep itself going.

The circling hawks saw that, then dove in and killed it.

Rather than pity yourself, Joe, why don’t you pity the people your administration has served so poorly and so selfishly? You owe the nation an apology and pledge to serve them instead of they serving you.

Open up energy to every and all things and watch our country take off. The only thing broken is your government.

“The president, we’re told, inherited a historic mess from which no mere mortal could extricate the nation...”


That’s funny. I don’t remember any sympathy from the press over what President Trump faced while in office. Under Trump, before Wuhan, the economy was booming. Of course the press said it was really the booming Obama economy.

Then there was Wuhan. When Wuhan struck, President Trump tried to limit movement into the U.S. from where it started...China. Of course he was promptly labeled a racist. When he ordered hospital ships to stricken NYC, the democrats in charge refused to utilize it preferring to send the sick to nursing homes. When Trump said he’d have a vaccine within months, we were told he was a bald-faced liar.

Empty shelves aren’t Brandon’s fault—it’s the supply chain. High meat prices—greedy meat packers. High gasoline prices—Putin’s fault, but really a blessing in disguise because it will shift us over to electric cars whose electricity is generated by unicorn farts. Baby-formula shortage—who knows, but it most definitely not Brandon’s fault.
