Thread: President Joe Biden

Most voters deem Biden unable to do job, mentally unfit to be president: poll

Anyways, it's always a tough election in the first midterm after winning the presidency.

This time looks even tougher.

The cook political report is quite sound:

Early indicators suggest Democrats''' House majority is in jeopardy
Early indicators suggest Democrats' House majority is in jeopardy


WASHINGTON — Democrats with proven track records of winning tough districts aren't running for re-election. Republicans are enjoying early fundraising windfalls. And, as Donald Trump and Barack Obama both learned the hard way, midterm elections almost always break against the president's party.


The early indicators that showed Democrats poised to make big gains in Congress four years ago now point the other direction, suggesting that the narrow 220-212 Democratic House majority is in serious danger.


"Based on all factors, you'd have to consider Republicans the early favorites for the House majority in 2022," said David Wasserman, who tracks congressional races for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

"America Is Back"------------- Yeah back to 1975

Biden's honeymoon is over, and he's overplayed his hand, trying to please the radical left with policies/spending that are unpopular with independents.


The only question now is how big the Republicans' win will be in the midterms.


From the Washington Post:

Opinion: Biden’s approval rating is slipping fast. Democrats should be nervous.


Something similar is probably what was behind Biden’s pre-Afghanistan decline. As the pandemic faded into the background with the rise in vaccinations, many American voters started to think about other things. They saw high inflation and an administration focused more on pushing an unprecedented expansion of federal government power than on economic recovery. The gross incompetence on display now will only add to the sense that the administration is out of touch and out of control.


Biden’s weakness is most apparent among independent voters. More of this crucial bloc disapproved of Biden’s performance than approved of it in the most recent Economist/YouGov and Politico-Morning Consult polls, and he had only a 44 percent approval rating with independents in the pre-Monday Reuters-Ipsos poll. While Democrats remain staunchly in support, that simply isn’t enough to preserve the party’s congressional majority given that the Democratic base support is concentrated in a small number of urban areas. It simply doesn’t matter how many votes the party gets in New York or the Silicon Valley; if it loses among independents, it will lose seats in more marginal suburban and rural seats nationwide.


Republicans are surely salivating over what might happen next. If Biden placates his party’s vocal progressive base, he will double down on pushing as much of his liberal agenda through as possible. The more he gives them, the likelier a 2010-style GOP tsunami reappears.

This pretty much wraps up Joe Biden’s presidency.

But isn't it good that in WH at last is an adult?

‘Does the president know? – It’s an emotional time!’: Blinken ridiculed for DODGING question on Joe Biden’s awareness
22 Aug, 2021



US Secretary of State Tony Blinken was hammered online after he repeatedly dodged a question on just how aware President Joe Biden is of the situation on the ground in Afghanistan. Biden’s other officials are equally evasive.

According to Biden’s public statements, the US withdrawal and evacuation from Afghanistan is going about as well as can be expected. The president has claimed that Al-Qaeda – the terrorist group the US set out to destroy 20 years ago – is no threat in Afghanistan, and the US’ allies have praised Washington’s withdrawal.

Those statements aren’t true. UN reports claim Al-Qaeda is present in nearly half of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, and America’s allies have condemned the US’ chaotic pullout. Armin Laschet, the German politician likely to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel, described the withdrawal as “the biggest debacle that NATO has seen since its foundation.”

Given the disconnect between Biden’s statements and reality, Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Secretary of State Tony Blinken on Sunday “does the president not know what’s going on?”

Blinken dodged the question, saying “this is an incredibly emotional time for many of us.”

He did not return to the question, instead launching into apparently prepared talking points about the US’ relationship with its allies. When pressed again by Wallace, Blinken gave the same answer about the “powerfully emotional time” the Biden administration and its foreign friends are experiencing.

His evasiveness was noted by viewers, with one commenter suggesting that Blinken “take a break from TV appearances until the administration can get its story straight.”

I doubt they were that clever, they were probably winging it like they did on everything else.

I agree, but the key point is this withdrawal agreement was negotiated by the Drumpf administration.

Biden could have ripped it up — as he did with Trump's actions to secure the border.

Silly to blame Trump (and not Biden, too), in my opinion.


Though, as mentioned — I disagree with both Trump/Biden pulling out of Afghanistan.

Luckily, the US people have their POTUSes to blame on whatever goes wrong (it's always the case). But that does not hinder them in the next two years to adore another (sometime new, sometimes old) one who will do it much better (sometimes in an opposite way) than the damned one.

Important that it does not give them a time get bothered by thinking where (and to whom) their money go and whether some of their fellow citizens will again lay their life (if they do not want to end up on the street of L.A.) for that new ideas, beside the lives of other fellows they do care too much about...

How the f&^k would I know? Know what? Who is blamed? Isn't Trump blamed? And also GWB and Obama?

And Biden is not blamed? By his people at home. And by his allies abroad. Is it not true? You want to get a break?

What exactly are you blaming Trump for?

Watched his press meetings? Listened to his answers? The guy is gone. And that is when they let him talk. "I've been instructed" "I'll get in trouble" "I shouldn't say".

For starters, arranging a “peace treaty” that doesn’t include the most affected party.

They're calling it a surrender agreement.
