Biden has too many good things going for him. He's been a very effective POTUS. Will basically reshape the American economy for decades to come with the huge investment in green, tech, and infrastructure. He has passed more legislation than any president since LBJ in their first 3 years. Not only has he kept NATO together, but got them to act in unison to oppose Russian aggression. Oh, and it expanded. The economy won't go into recession (knock on wood) and unemployment has been or is at record low. Record job recovery and gain. Inflation has gone down from 9 to 4%. Even the border crisis wouldn't pan out - crossing has dropped by 70% in the recent month. Oh, and crime - murder rate has gone down by double digit % in 2023. But really, what history will remember are the policies that will transform the American economy and the world alliance for decades to come: CHIP and IRA acts and his actions to keep NATO as a cohesive unit (and expand it). What else is there to talk about but culture issues and him ingesting pack of drug to walk? Give GOP and the media credit though for being very effective at story telling, getting the MSM and even the DEM to see him as an ineffective old fool that isn't all there and hasn't done much of anything.
I’ve heard some discussion from some other pundits that Biden is actually not as strongly pushing back on this narrative as it’s what has allowed him to get a lot of stuff passed. This means he can work behind the scenes and across the aisles whereas if he came off as more vocal and in your face it would harden positions from both sides of the aisles.
Are the leftists just going to ignore that that whistleblower got killed? If that had happened just with Trump instead of Biden...they would be all over it.
The last two presidencies the President has almost appeared as a messianic figure and to their respective supporters. I think Biden himself is uncomfortable with that view. I think his and his staff’s thinking is that he would rather appear as a genial and harmless grandpa figure while being a deal maker behind the scenes.
First off one we only have one report. We also had early reports by Rep. Comer himself he couldn’t identify who the whistleblower was. Yes this might be serious but at the moment not much verifiable information
Yea, he gives me that vibe. He's definitely capable of pulling the punches, but he seems quite good at working behind the scene to get things done. I think the McCarthy/Biden debt negotiation was a pretty good recent example of that. I'm pretty sure when it comes closer to the election, he will go into election mode. He did it for the 2022 midterm with that anti-MAGA speech.
I didn't ignore. I respond with a unicorn But seriously, who's the source? Gulliani? Yea, unicorn is the most appropriate response at this moment.
Are the "oddly supportive of Trumpism- ers" going to provide a source that isn't a tweet? This is what Rudy Giuliani is claiming, no?
Which is exactly what the framers were going for. If you read the federalist papers except for maybe John Adams they almost all describe the president as this sort of elder statesmen and talk about how the last thing they want is a type of self anointed cult leader wannabe king. Keep in mind that even in the age of early death, one of the only requirements the framers had was age.
