Biden is no joke; will vote for him again

Poor kid…. Imagine getting a call from the president about Santa Claus and have your parents embarrass themselves like that.

Typical classless conservatives….

 

Does Joe Biden Know Why Delaware Is Home to So Many Corporations?
Delaware figures prominently in Biden's stump speeches for the Build Back Better plan, but he seems to deliberately ignore some key details.

excerpt:

"You know, I'm tired of this trickle-down economy stuff," the president continued. "I come from Delaware—just across the line up here—and, you know, we have more corporations in Delaware than every other state in the nation combined. And so, I understand big business."

***
It's easy to eye-roll away Biden's deliberate misunderstanding of Delaware's corporate tax situation as just so much meaningless political bullshit—the equivalent of me claiming that, since I'm from Pennsylvania, I innately understand the economics of running a cheesesteak joint, while also proposing a new tax on Whiz and onions.​

RIP, 'Pandemic of the Unvaccinated'
Farewell to a Biden White House messaging strategy that was terrible long before Omicron

https://reason.com/2021/12/27/rip-pandemic-of-the-unvaccinated/

excerpt:

If you spend too much time observing the way politicians speak, you'll pick up an almost perceptibly mechanical gear-shift in their heads when the brain-groove reminds them to reproduce an anecdote or talking point they have formulated so many times before. Occasionally the subconscious rebels against the alienating monotony with apologetic prefix clauses like, "That's why I like to say," or "I always tell the story that," but the pre-sets mostly override such human twitches to deliver the desired political result.

So it was for President Joe Biden's counterproductive "pandemic of the unvaccinated" slogan, which the White House COVID-19 Response Team introduced in mid-July, and which the president was still regurgitating inaccurately as late as December 14.

In a local TV interview with News Center 7 in Dayton, Ohio, the president was asked about whether his administration would continue fighting his contested employer vaccine mandates in court. The politician-brain quickly whirred into gear.

"This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated," Biden emphasized, on the same day that the omicron variant produced a one-day positive-case increase of 16 percent in highly vaccinated New York City. "That's the problem. And so everybody talks about 'freedom,' and not to have a shot or have a test. Well guess what? How about patriotism? How about making sure that you're vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anybody else? What about that?"

What about that indeed. New York City's one-shot vaccination rate (of 92 percent for adults, 83 percent for kids between 13 and 17) "rivals any number in the free world," Politico's Jack Shafer observed last week, and yet somehow my vaccinated teen and boosted self spent Christmas under quarantine. The fact-checkers over at The Poynter Institute's PolitiFact generously rated Biden's "vaccinated…do not spread the disease" claim as only "mostly" false, despite epidemiologist quotes like "[the] statement is not accurate," and "vaccinated individuals can definitely infect other people."

But the problems with the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" message pre-date the variant that rendered it factually ludicrous. On September 16, one week after Biden reversed serial administration promises by announcing an employer vaccine mandate (while using language such as "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us"), science writer Yasmin Tayag penned an Atlantic piece headlined "Stop Calling It a 'Pandemic of the Unvaccinated.'"

"Bullying the unvaccinated into getting their shots isn't going to work in the long run," Tayag predicted, in a piece surveying a field of study (behavioral science) to which the White House seems oblivious. "The way the mandates are being presented is driving a wedge between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. If the goal is to inoculate enough people to reach herd immunity, this approach may eventually backfire."

the buck stops here

 

well now THAT'S inconvenient

 

still true 21 months later

 

Lol…. I mean this should make you conservatives happy…. But naturally you even bash Biden when he does something you agree with.

 

You can’t have it both ways….

Conservative states flaunted the rules the entire time. Here in Texas, the governor tried to overrule local municipalities and local school districts….

 

GOP did the ACA strategy… intentionally cut off funding to key parts and then wonder loudly “why are costs rising so much”?

 

Biden needs to worry about the economy honestly and try to get some legislation passed. The reality is COVID is here to stay and he had to know that. Vaccinations will make a huge difference in the severity of the infections though.

 

Covid wasn't trump's fault and it isn't biden's fault. Really cant fault Bidens campaign trail bravado either. He doesn't win if covid doesnt emerge.

 

Biden needs to get this inflation in check. Inflation is a real kick in the nuts.

 

yes, it was.

He

said that COVID is a hoax invented by the Chinese.
refused to invoke the Defense Production to produce PPEs, such as mask and testing kits,
pushed for herd immunity, as evidenced by his hiring of radiologist Atlas (w no expertise w viruses) as his chief medical advisor on COVID,

which at the time, in the absence of a vaccine, would call for COVID deaths in the millions​

recommended ingesting cleaning solutions to fight COVID​

as a result, ~ 80 million US voters voted to fire the incumbent Trump, who lost by the largest margin in history

 

I completely agree.... I am not sure how much real control he has over it, but the economy and inflation is what will do him in more than COVID or the infrastructure deal.

 

inflation is within the province of the Fed, no?
