President Joe Biden has been holding a series of secret meetings with historians, policy experts and even former President Bill Clinton, a new report revealed Thursday, as he navigates a variety of problems facing the nation.
Biden met with a group of scholars last week on August 4, the same day a fierce lightning storm raged across Washington D.C., where they told him it a perilous moment in modern day political history, the Washington Post reported.
The historians compared Biden's moment in history to the 1860 election when Abraham Lincoln warned that a 'house divided against itself cannot stand'

They create the problems and then seek phony guidance ? Oh , and comparing the current mess to what Lincoln faced is arrogance.

Biden's problem is that he is just talking to fellow Democrats and other like minded liberals who all think the same so they will all have the same views and come up with the same conclusions. They are just confirming their own world view with their meetings and coming up with policies to make sure that their world view is enforced through government policy and enforcement.

It was the Democrats that fired on Fort Sumter to trigger the Civil War, just as Garland’s Goons invaded Mar-A-Lago.
It was the National Socialists that started WWII, just as the DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS are about to do again

This is a problem with candidates who have empty heads. They hire experts, but how can they know which experts? They are manipulated that way. It is important to know the history that actually happened, BEFORE you seek power. This point is not obvious, cf. AOC and Hannah whatsername.

I suggest they try reading the constitution and use it s a rulebook for governing. I think folks would be amazed at how well that would solve a lot of problems. It is a mostly defense and trade pact. The feds are supposed to defend the county such as stopping the southern invasion, set policy with foreign governments, and help facilitate trade between states - NOT control or inhibit that trade.
States are to handle the rest of the problems and issues. "Butting out" would be the best thing D.C. could do. People in a city isolated by great distance from the rest of the country are not qualified to tell others how to live.
Biden's way of "uniting" was to threaten us with F-15's and atomic bombs after a month in office.

Bill Clinton is a great historian? We aren't told who the other great historians were, and you can guess why.

If this is true, you can't tell me that Biden knew what they were talking about. Who in this administration was there? Maybe the real President because it ain't Joe.

Who are they kidding? There is no need to read beyond the headline because the article has to be a puff piece. Biden has a skull full of mush. They may as well be talking to a rock wall; he doesn't remember from one minute to the next. He sits there while Dr. Jill feeds him Pablum while he's looking for some invisible person he can shake hands with. Give me a break!

I would recommend viewing the recent History Channel documentaries on GRANT, LINCOLN and Theodore Roosevelt.
I can assure you, you will learn a lot of things you never knew.
On TR, my wife actually wondered why nearly everything he proposed sounded like what Democrats talk about still? Wondered when this switched.

From this I gather that Simple Joe didn't spend many of his several decades of existence reading history for himself.
Such a person might not make the connection between fascism and turning the IRS from an agency of accountants and petty bureaucrats into an armed camp ready to use lethal force.

If they're looking for a Civil War reference, Biden is a worse president than Buchanan.

This is worse than the civil war or a world war because both will likely occur at the same time. There are people controlling Biden that want this to happen.

We're definitely a house divided, and it's looking more and more like it isn't going to stand. Who wants to unify with those people? I'd rather see them on the streets and get it started.

Biden reminds me more and more of the accounts of Stalin in his latter days. Stalin became increasingly isolated as his health gradually declined. He was rarely seen by the public and preferred to stay in his Dacha as much as possible - the same way Biden hides out in various mansions. Stalin became obsessed with Fascist enemies always lurking nearby. Potential enemies saw their homes raided in the middle of the night. By the end Stalin's trusted doctor so feared being labeled an enemy that he let the evil dictator lie alone on the floor after a massive stroke felled him.

Distinguished panel of Ivy League historians called to the Whitehouse to tell Joe..

Lincoln faced a well led, motivated, scrappy, lethal army. Biden is facing unhappy social media posts. Equivalence? More like a bald excuse to urge Biden to assuming more "crisis" authority that curtail individual rights than afforded by a dying pandemic.

So Joe reportedly asks many questions…Like “Where am I?” “Can I get an ice cream cone if I’m good?” And, “Where’s my 10 percent?”

The Biden thing closely resembles Aaron Burr, who committed foul treason but was let off.

When you have to ask "experts" how to clean your shoes after you stepped in it, the end is near. This is a "master politician" with decades of experience? God help us.

I wonder what was in the Action Plan. Progressives ALWAYS have Action Plans. Let me guess: The way to address this very tenuous situation is to press forward with the left’s agenda and come down harder on the right, but somehow make it look like you’re not doing that.
BTW, even the Civil War was not as bad as the country now. Many on both sides remained friends during the war. General Custer, who served bravely for the North during the war, took time out from fighting to attend a wedding of a friend who fought for the south. Jokes were even passed back and forth about the conflict during the celebration. Compare that to the relative in your own family who refuses to have anything to do with you because you voted for Trump or are unvaxxed.

Learn from history? Like learning from the removed statues and forefathers lambasted for owning slaves? History is what actually happened at the time, not the wokey, scrubbed version only allowed today.

Wow, and here we are without the last living American to have personally known Abraham Lincoln, Sen. Robert Byrd.

All problems which THEY created. The Civil War was a whole other ballgame. This current mess was created by Obama and Biden as the fall guy. Gotta remember this is the Daily Mail and they are probably still smarting from the two defeats we handed them during the Revolution and the War of 1812.

Emily, I know you have to toe the line because you work for a liberal rag but let me explain something. The political and social decay in America was not brought by well-meaning but often timid conservatives. It was brought by evil and corrupt dims, leftist, and the msm. What Lincoln faced was a walk in the park compared to what President Trump endured during his term in office.
