The first step towards recovery is to admit you have a problem.
-----------------------
We’re just more than one year into Joe Biden’s presidency, and already on his second foreign policy debacle, as my boss Mollie Hemingway pointed out this weekend.
That’s not even close to all the disasters consuming the United States and world as Biden repeatedly retreats to his basement in Delaware.
We have an affirmative-action Supreme Court nominee who will join the leftist wing of the court in attacking the U.S. Constitution for likely another 30 years. We have Congress contemplating eye-watering spending while the nation’s economy is not only extremely weak but also saturated with the most government debt in all of world history. We have historic levels of price increases especially harming the poor and working class.
We have the rise of authoritarianism around the globe as governments formerly considered self-governing turn on their own citizens, criminalize dissent as “terrorism,” and head towards Communist-style social credit systems under an inflated and now-permanent state of public emergency, while legislatures and courts mostly sit back and watch it happen. (If you don’t think it’s permanent, just ask yourself: Exactly when is it going to stop? There’s absolutely no criteria for a clearly defined endpoint anywhere in the formerly free world, and that’s the point.)
We have a southern border that has been opened wide to mass human trafficking by international drug cartels and a presidential administration flying unknown foreigners all around the country in the dead of night. The United Nations is even aiding this effort to end U.S. sovereignty, as it has for other manufactured migration “crises.”
Don’t forget the rising crime, deterioration of infrastructure, the self-destruction of our K-college education systems, the refusal of historic levels of able-bodied, working-age men to work, governments and employers doubling down on pitting Americans against each other based on race, the allowance of election systems that befit a banana republic, forcing predatory males into girls’ and women’s private areas, and the now-repeated deployment of the U.S. military against American civilians.
Amid all this, we have idiots at the wheel as the world careens into what could turn into World War III, as any international conflagration could, if everyone isn’t very, very careful.
So it’s no wonder that Biden is seeing rock-bottom approval ratings. It’s a bit horrifying the ratings aren’t even lower.
At the same point in his presidency, on Feb. 25, 2018, Donald Trump had a 50 percent approval rating from Rasmussen. The Feb. 25, 2022 number from Rasmussen for Biden is 40 percent approval. According to Rasmussen, “The latest figures include 21% who Strongly Approve of the job Biden is doing and 49% who Strongly Disapprove.”
We have at least three more years of this ahead. Is anyone with half a brain looking ahead to those three years with equanimity, let alone optimism? If so much could go so badly in just one year, just think about how much more aggression and chaos Biden’s weakness will likely invite within the total four years of his presidency. It’s a terrifying thing to ponder.
It also surfaces at least one clear conclusion: The allegedly 81 million Americans who voted for Biden in 2020 got played, hard. And they owe the rest of us a big apology, and a promise to never screw our nation over like this again.
Yes, Trump was a jerk. You know what he wasn’t? Dangerously incompetent. Or barely kept motoring with a personalized daily slushie of embalming fluid.
It’s time for the Americans who saddled us with this embarrassment of a president to realize that they did exactly what they self-righteously accepted from mass media they were saving our nation from: voting for a four-year national disaster.
We all realize there was massive social pressure from every corrupt institution in this nation to vote a certain way. It’s hard to resist that. But once it’s obvious that you made a terrible decision, the only way to move forward is to come clean.
The first step towards recovery is to admit you have a problem. It’s the only way. As everyone knows deep in their hearts somewhere, denial only makes matters worse. So, for the sake of the country, we need Biden voters to please just admit it: Voting for Joe Biden was a horrific mistake.
In return for this difficult and generous gesture, the rest of us promise to not rub this error in your faces, even though it’s very painful to all of us.
The next step is to make a plan for how to prevent making such a terrible error again. Here’s one: Next time you hear Facebook, Twitter, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, YouTube, and the like all tell you who to vote for, run in the opposite direction.
They tricked you before. They tricked us all, and not just over Biden, but over just about everything else of national import. Don’t let them do it again.
Remember, these are the professional liars who sold you the idea that Joe Biden was a moderate nice guy who could nuke a Chinese virus and bring peace to the world, or at least your Facebook feed. And look where that’s gotten us.
OK but why does the writer feel the need to qualify the very easy argument that Trump was a competent president by letting us all know she thinks he was a ‘jerk’?
Seems this kind of subjective, emotionally generated opinion is exactly why many voted against him and gave us Xiden.
“Yes, Trump was a jerk.”
I guess many of us would be jerks if we faced, daily, what he did. The wild Russian collusion, insane allegations, his children bombarded, attempt to disrupt his marriage, continual lawsuits (still ongoing), Charlottesville, media lies, State of the Union address, publicly and literally ripped to shreds and just too much more to remember.
Yeah, all 61,000 of you.
No one who voted for ChoMoeJoe will read this and it wouldn’t matter if they did.
ChoMoeJoe did not get enough votes to win. The election was “won” via FRAUD. I read most of the piece and note no mention of that. We’re just supposed to feel self-righteous: “Those B1den voters! They need to WISE UP! It’s all their fault!” and blah-de-blah-blah. (I have to wonder: What did the chick who wrote this think was going to happen? That a bunch of Democrats would be like, “OMG SHE’S RIGHT!!” and all run out and start apologizing?)
A lot of people who did actually vote for ChoMoeJoe are delightedly chanting “FJB!” right now and they will complain about him. And then they will vote Democrat again, if they bother to vote at all.
“The fix is in.” Now we know what the fix is: The Democrats’ tried and true, go-to strategy of CHEATING and of course VOTER INTIMIDATION. (Remember the riots?) Now we can just sit back and let the machines vote for us.
“The first step towards recovery is to admit you have a problem.”
Admit that you’re missing the target. Guilt-tripping Democrats has NEVER worked and never will work. They have no pride, nor do they have any shame. They have no conscience. There’s nothing to guilt.
And OMG approval ratings! Let’s get all excited about poll numbers and totally ignore the ELECTION FRAUD, okay, Nice Lady?
An apology from these idiots means nothing to me! Oust Biden and his ho then we can talk! It will take decades to undo the damage the this clown has caused in just over a year! America should tear up a symbolic SOTU in unison this week to protest old joe!!!!
I’ve been thinking alot over the last few days about that video. I wonder if Ruby, her daughter, and the other two criminals in the video have any remorse for the evil they helped unleash upon this nation and the world? Doubt it. Seriously doubt it.
Shun them. Avoid doing business with them or supporting them whenever possible. And if they ask you why let them know.
I must have missed this development, unless the author is talking about National Guard deployments. But the National Guard is not, strictly speaking, the US military.
Wrong answer. Something must be done to ensure there isn't a next time and Zuckerborg, Dorsey and everyone else involved must pay the highest of prices for what they've done to America.
FReepers need to keep an eye on their womenfolk.

Pentagon approves requests for National Guard as trucker convoy eyes D.C.
Washington — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has approved

"The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the reserve components of the United States Army and the United States Air Force when activated for federal missions." - wiki
“... Americans Who Voted For Joe Biden ....”
HE’S a criminal and THEY are his accomplices!
The Federalist still thinks Biden won fair and sqaure.
Who dreams-up these stupid articles? Must be attempting to hang onto their job!
These idiots don’t get it: Real people re-elected President Trump. The Democrat machine stole the election using fraudulent ballots, and manipulated counting. The only people who owe us an apology are the Democrats who cheated.
That’s No Malarky
Have tried doing this with my wife. She didn’t exactly take it very well. 😂 To be fair we weren’t married when she voted for Brandon.
I did say “unless the author is talking about the National Guard.” For the author to state categorically that the US military has been used against US citizens without explaining that it is the National Guard brought in as a protection force is misleading. The National Guard is a state militia that can become a federalized militia. But except in times of war and national emergency, it is not, strictly speaking, a member of the US armed forces.
Those asshats believe a lot of shit that isn’t true or accurate. Idiots.
