Biden’s Unpopularity Mystifies the Media

Original Article

Posted By: Garnet, 6/5/2023 9:06:07 AM

f you spend much time perusing the musings of political pundits you may have noticed the emergence of a subgenre of opinion writing that devotes itself to the following question: Why is President Biden so unpopular? A recent contribution to this growing body of work was offered a few days ago in Newsweek. Matt Robison, a former congressional staffer turned podcaster, laments that Biden boasts a long list of “massive achievements” yet somehow endures historically low approval ratings.

Traitor Joe is not popular because he's a criminal who takes bribes, was installed via election fraud and is destroying the economy and all other things in our country. It's extremely simple.

Biden’s unpopularity doesn’t mystify the media. They simply choose to ignore it — and the reasons for it — because it doesn’t fit their narrative. “There are none so blind as those who will not see.”

#3 but they do see. They are the "useful idiots" the socialists employ to advance their propaganda and ideology. They believe that a great reward awaits them but like Ernst Rhome and his Brownshirts they wil be eliminated when no longer needed. Socialist / Communist leaders don't share the spotlight and eliminate any competition

#4: He has managed to destroy the most prosperous economy that saw the highest employment rates for Blacks, Hispanics and women in our history; and increased the inflation rate from 1.4 to over 9%. All in less than two years.

Because the so-called coastal elites live in a bubble. They fall prey to their own gaslighting. FTA: "Beauchamp, like Krugman, Milligan, and Robison, clearly assumes his readers are too dumb to know any better. This points to the real conundrum the corporate media can’t solve. They keep reporting that Biden is a success but no one believes them." They don't have to live with the consequences of the decisions Biden's handlers make. Biden should have been booted out from the Afghanistan fiasco alone. But here we are, almost two years later, with our intellectual bettors wringing their hands on why ol' Joe isn't popular enough with a recession, inflation and a porous border with the rest of us living that reality.

I have seen so many interviews with "people on the street" that say they support Senile Joe bidet, but they can't name a single thing he has accomplished, or even articulate why they support him. They just stand there silently with that "deer in the headlights" blank stare and try to find something to say other than "he's not Trump". On the other hand, when they ask people who say they do not support him, they can immediately list a whole litany of reasons he should be run out of DC on a rail after being tarred and feathered!!! "Fun" facts like the terrible economy (that only seems to get worse by the day), uncontrolled federal spending, ramming the destructive "green agenda" down our throats, the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster (with dead American troops and billions of weapons left for the islamo-terrorists to use), billions of our tax dollars going to an endless war in Ukraine, a freakshow of a cabinet, allowing the invasion of millions of illegal aliens (with illegal and deadly drugs, child sex trafficking, etc) through our porous borders and then giving them better welfare benefits than our own veterans get, most pro-abortion president ever, cowtowing to the evil grooming of the LGBTXYZ freaks, totally ignoring massive disasters (like Ohio) right here in the USA, etc, etc, etc!!! Just saying...

Really? The guy is an idiot and always has been. His remarks have been legendary for their complete stupidity. He's an embarrassment to the entire country which is exactly why Obozo picked him to be president. He's easily manipulated and once installed as president can't be removed. ( I know Nixon was removed, but that would never happen to a demoslut president even if the crimes were ten time worse than Watergate.)

Few of them will admit it but they enjoyed PT much more that Quid Pro Joe. When you ask Trump a question you get an answer. Your main problem is he won't stop answering it. With The Delaware Dummy, unless it's a pre selected question with the answer on a cue card, he does an about face and heads for the woods. If the highly paid snooty news hounds had to buy their own food, gas, etc. they'd know why we hate the cadaver. Plus many of us resent being lectured to by a cigar store Injun.

The changing story on Biden family business dealings 2 replies

Devon Archer, a former friend and business partner to Hunter Biden, testified Monday as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into the Biden family business dealings and alleged foreign corruption. Archer made several key claims, including that Hunter was brought on to the board of Ukranian energy company Burisma because of his familial connections and that Hunter put then-Vice President Joe Biden on the phone his business associates at least twenty times to demonstrate his access to US government power. Archer’s testimony complicates the insistence from President Joe Biden, the White House and their friends in the media that President Biden was oblivious

Joe Biden doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and there’s a good reason why, given his continued problem with incoherence and mistakes. His staff has done all they can to either cut him off from the press or set him up with softball interviews. Biden just interviewed with British podcaster Jay Shetty at the White House, which I think falls under the umbrella of a softball interview. Now, it’s ironic that he was appearing with Shetty to talk about how the Biden administration intends to help deal with the mental health crisis. The Democrats could start by having Joe Biden retire from the job and take care of himself.

As promised, Hunter Biden’s former business partner at Rosemont Seneca, Devon Archer, showed up to offer closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee and he had plenty to say. According to James Comer, Archer identified President Joe Biden as “the brand” back when he was Vice President, and Hunter Biden sold “the brand” around the world. He told the committee about at least twenty business meetings he and Hunter held with foreign entities where The Big Guy was either on the phone or there in person. He also testified about various “favors” that these clients wanted and received from Joe Biden in exchange for paying off Hunter and company.

RYE, N.H. − Meeting and greeting voters at a barbecue in a rural hamlet, Ron DeSantis deployed his rebooted campaign Sunday by making familiar arguments about why he should be president - and throwing in a few jokes, as when he thanked New Hampshire-based police officers for providing security. "If we recruit you to Florida, you get a $500 signing bonus right off the top," DeSantis said as voters encouragingly chuckled. "We're always looking for good people." As with a recent trip to Iowa, DeSantis used his New Hampshire trip to display an altered campaign style that includes a little more personality,
Biden Impeachment Inquiry Is Well-Earned 4 replies

When House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested that mounting questions concerning the fishy financial history of President Biden and his family may lead to an impeachment inquiry, some Republicans got the vapors. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), for example, said it would send the “wrong message.” Reps. David Joyce (R-Ohio) and Tom Cole (R-Okla.) voiced similarly craven qualms. An inquiry may well uncover evidence supporting claims made in an FBI document, recently released by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), that Biden accepted bribes while Vice President. If so, it is the duty of House Republicans to impeach him.

The language is undeniably different, and yet White House officials said four different times Wednesday that “nothing has changed” concerning President Biden’s longstanding denial that he was ever involved in the foreign business dealings of his son Hunter. House Republicans, meanwhile, contend that the deviation in wording now employed at the White House reflects a strategy to distance the president from Hunter Biden ahead of potentially damaging new testimony. Biden told Fox News on the campaign trail in September 2020, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” a categorical denial he later repeated the next month in a radio interview

First of all, I am not a lawyer, a legal analyst, a legal scholar, nor as smart about these things as Ed, who is on vacation. But I have spent a bit of time around politics, and the collapse of the Hunter plea deal promises to shake up the political landscape, although we have no idea how much yet. The bomb is still in the air, so we don’t know whether its explosion will be nuclear, fuel-air, bunker-buster, or anything up to and including a big dud.But at the very least, when it hits the ground even a dud has some substantial kinetic energy and it will leave a crater.

UNESCO is the cultural wing of the U.N.

President Biden is merely pretending to do his job. But will the charade collapse before he can finagle another election victory? In czarist Russia, a Russian governor named Potemkin built a fake village to deceive Catherine the Great about the condition of the peasants she ruled. In today’s Washington, the media are partnering with Team Biden to concoct a Potemkin village to deceive Americans about Biden’s faltering fitness for office. Last month at the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado, Biden stumbled leaving the podium. It took multiple Secret Service agents to eventually get Joe back on his feet.

President Biden has of late attempted to convince Americans to ignore the financial realities of their day-to-day lives by insisting that his stewardship of the economy has been a success. Inevitably, the corporate media have been all too willing to repeat this rubbish despite mountains of data that clearly debunk the President’s claims. Fortunately, the voters are not as dumb as Biden and the Fourth Estate evidently believe. According to virtually every poll, significant majorities disapprove of the way he has handled the economy. Moreover, because the voters experience the ugly facts in real time every day, it is unlikely that a public relations campaign will change their opinion.

During his arraignment on Thursday, Donald Trump was warned by Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya that he could be "held pending trial" if he violated the strict conditions of his release. The former president was allowed to return to his summer home in Bedminster, New Jersey, but only after agreeing to abide by the conditions agreed upon by prosecutors and the defense. Trump "must not violate federal or state laws; he must appear in court as required; he must sign an appearance bond; and he must not communicate about the facts of the case with anyone Trump knows to be a witness, except through counsel or in presence of counsel."
