Biden isn't taken his Presidency seriously.

[Austin Ellen]

No shit,right? I really think Biden's chief of staff is Ron Klain is running the show. Because Biden can't keep up with anybody. His poll ratings are below Trumps and he doesn't understand what the problem is. Now he's going on Jimmy Kimmel - the douch bag that doesn't understand that Trump is no longer in the White House but he can't stop talking about him. Now he is going to have Biden on his show. Damn, the D's are so fucking stupid that they fail to see that this is not a good idea.
The average American family is dying and he wants to go on an entertainment show. Yeah, that's gonna save us.
Facepalm.

While worries about inflation, high gas prices, and baby formula shortages (just to name a few) continue to swirl, President Joe Biden is taking time on Wednesday to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live. What, did he run out of TikTok influencers?

Modern presidents pandering to pop culture celebrities is not a new phenomenon. Richard Nixon said, “Sock it to me,” and Barack Obama did an interview with that YouTube star who drinks cereal from a bathtub. But coming at this difficult moment—and absent more robust or serious efforts to change course—this just looks trivial and gimmicky.

I’m starting to think Biden might not appreciate how bad things are or what little time he has to turn his administration around.



To be clear, Biden’s approval ratings are below those of Donald Trump at this point in his presidency. And signs point to rough sledding ahead. In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, 83 percent of respondents ranked the economy (not gun violence or Jan. 6 or access to abortion) as their most important issue, with 80 percent saying inflation is “an extremely or very important factor in how they will vote.”

Meanwhile, a Republican midterm wave seems to be building that could sweep out many Democrats in November’s elections. This is all to say, Biden’s problems are very serious.

They are also, to some extent, man-made. Sure, all presidents are dealt a hand they must play, but effective presidents drive the agenda or (when things go wrong) course correct. Biden’s downward spiral began with that disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal (a choice he made). Subsequent problems, such as inflation, are a combination of factors (like supply chain problems) that are out of his control and policies (like spending) that are the product of a fundamental misreading of his mandate.

Facing these daunting challenges, how does Biden respond? By going on Jimmy Kimmel.


Could it be that he has simply checked out of the presidency? Not only is Biden not demonstrating any urgency, he’s also not providing much hope.

When it comes to fixing inflation and gas prices, there’s not much he can do, Biden said.

First, whatever happened to “The buck stops here”? Second, even if there’s nothing he can do, do Americans really want to hear it from their president? Instead of optimism, Biden is “bolstering perceptions that his crisis-submerged presidency is beleaguered,” wrote CNN’s Stephen Collinson, adding that Biden’s “frankness is offering no comfort to Americans looking for answers to these problems.”

Imagine Franklin D. Roosevelt saying, “There’s not much I can do about the depression. These cycles happen. We’re just going to have to let it run its course.” Or how about Ronald Reagan saying, “There’s not much we can do about the Soviets. We’re just going to have to learn to coexist.” Both of these statements, at the time, would have been intellectually defensible, if morally dubious. But effective presidents don’t passively accept the world as it is, and the American public won’t tolerate being told nothing can be done.

It’s worth reiterating that Biden is not some victim of circumstance. His past choices have contributed to his current plight. He knew, for example, that Sen. Joe Manchin was the linchpin of his entire legislative agenda, and yet he allowed his staff to offend him—thus scuttling “Build Back Better.” (In hindsight, Biden is probably lucky this happened. Otherwise, inflation might be even worse.)



You Should Have Taken Alt-Right Trolling Seriously

It is fair to say that, once serious problems are allowed to fester, there is no quick or easy way to reverse them. But this problem is compounded because Biden lacks the leadership and communication skills that a better-equipped president might use to extricate his or herself from this situation (or, at least, make us feel better about the situation). Does anyone believe that Biden is capable of going on Kimmel and blowing us away with his wit?

So what can be done? If nothing else, Biden should fire Ron Klain, his chief of staff. Aside from finally holding someone accountable for this (so far) failed presidency, this would also signal (to the public, the press, and the politicians) that he is willing to take dramatic steps to right the ship.

I mean, he has to do something. It’s not like there’s a lot of time to wait for past mistakes to correct themselves.

There’s already talk of Donald Trump jumping into the 2024 fray this summer—before the midterms. Democrats seem almost resigned to going up against a man they label an existential threat using a man who everyone suspects is asleep at the wheel. But maybe a Kimmel appearance will change it all?

What should he do? You whine bitch and complain all day, what's your solution?

[Lucas McCain]

Trump went back and forth to Florida and Jersey all of the time to play golf and there are actually people upset that Biden went on Jimmy Kimmel's silly show to have some fun for an evening?

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

[royamcr]

People forget so easily that the first year + of a presidency is the result of the previous administration. How do you think Trump had such a great 2017? Shit went down hill fast after that and is still going downhill from his stupid shit.

Biden isn't desperate to get reelected like Trump was. If Biden does run and loses he sures the fuck wont whine and bitch about it for almost 2 years after. In no way will Biden have his dumbfuck boys ransack the nations Capitol.

[Why_Yes_I_Do]

He has pointed to many causes of the many problems. In no particular order

• Russia - Duh
• Trump - but of course
• The covid
• Ukraine
• Disinformation -- need a board for that fo' sho'
• Greedy corporations
• Republicans in general -- terrorists you know
• Janet Yellen -- see her on the She's a Witch apology tour
• Climate change - ya sure, you betcha
• Anyone or anything other than himself

Interesting chart courtesy of the World Bank. It seems as though something significant happened in early 2021. Can't quite put a finger on it yet.







Horry-chite. I think I found it after all

Biden is on pace to take the most vacation than ANY other president including Trump as he prepares to head to Rehoboth Beach for the weekend. We all know this is mostly so he can take instruction on what to destroy next from Obama and his minions without having to make an entry in any sort of visitors log.... I mean that's how you run a shadow presidency.

Resign and go live in Happy Acres. I kinda wish we were more like Japan though -- Seppuku. Maybe more like Guyana with Jim Jones and he could take his followers with him.

biden has engaged, as his vice-president and cabinet, the most slothful, incompetent lot of special interest, identity based drivel as has ever been assembled

of course someone other than he has gathered them for his "don't say a thing, just sign here" approval

"there's nothing we can do about the price of gasoline" they say and then they just move along

of course one person's view of their incompetency is another's idea of a sly bit of evil machination

i think someone involved is serious, only destructively so

This has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen. The issues we have are clearly from this administration. I guess your computer or news channel didnt show Biden say the struggles will continue while getting away from fossil fuels? He was on the other side of the World and couldn’t lie bc the rest of the world knows how ignorant this jackass! By the way I voted Democrat my whole until recently. Some people just cant see a Democrat is not what it use to be. He is following Bernie Sanders agenda. Believe me enough Dems have had enough already and the Democratic party will feel the effects for years. I have no idea how any of you can believe our country is in a good place. This is absolutely rediculous! Pretty sad what they have done in a short period! I thought George Bush was one of the worst Presidents ever, when this admin is done they will easily get the title!

Going Delaware is not a vacation. Don't make me compare Trump's time away from the WH... at a cost of millons a week.

Only stupid fucks think that the president works 24/7... On call yes...

where are the usual suspects on the left to claim Biden "is cleaning up Trump's mess"? nonsense!!



they amuse me with that crap. everything that's happening is on Biden and his bunch of socialist assholes. blaming it on Trump and Putin is bullshit.

[Jackie S]

Oh, good grief. “Biden isn’t taking the Presidency serious”.

He is an old, senile, stupid, inept, lying, corrupt, pathetic piece of shit.

What the fuck did you expect?

[Jacuzzme]

He’s not taking it seriously because he’s not a serious person. Even in his prime he was a buffoon, now he’s just a senile buffoon.

Biden Delaware trips cost taxpayers about $3M in Secret Service alone

Americans may be grappling with how to put food on the table amid a sharp rise in the cost of everyday goods — but you’d never know it from the tab President Biden has racked up on their dime.


Biden’s regular weekend and a few midweek trips home to Delaware have cost nearly $3 million in security alone, Secret Service expense records shared with The Post show.
