piling on over what he said about Ukraine. Richard Engle has come out of where ever he was just like he
did during Afghanistan with criticism. No matter what Russia does the MSM is going to blame Biden for it. They have piled
on Biden about everything ever since Afghanistan. I think January 6th has emboldened Putin, he sees us as divided and weak.

(2,636 posts)Their role in life is to oppose it, whatever it is, if an "undesirable" might benefit.
Biden is leading, not reacting to overnight ratings.
Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)They refuse to listen to him talk, and we do the same with Trump. There are many people who honestly think Biden has full blown Alzheimer's Disease, can't put a sentence together and spends his days wandering around the White House bumping into walls and is unable to even recognize people in his own family. They really believe that. That's what happens when people get their news from wingnut websites and refuse to even watch the man. If they did they would say he is a double and not the real Biden. They really believe this shit, and that is what we are up against.
From my contacts with republican friends I have known for years, and I'm not talking about crazy people, I'm talking about people who up until five years ago were sane, I would guess about 30% of them fit the description in the paragraph above. It's mind boggling how seemingly normal people can be conned into being so incredibly stupid.
And don't even get me started on the people who think he is a pedophile because there's pictures of him touching children.

He loves being in the middle of the action.
Without hes bored.
Until Biden tells us to drink bleach, the clutching of the pearls needs to stop.

(17,622 posts)...and shutting the US press out? NOTHING Joe does or says will ever be as bad as that last crazy person who stole the election from Hills.
Hes just not as 'exciting' so the press is bored and they have short memories. Poor babies....

(35,332 posts)progressives when all along they knew they couldn't deliver it with a one vote majority.
It was obvious 4 months ago Manchin and Sinama were not going to support anything.
Democrats drove their own polls down with infighting over BBB for the last 4 months.

(89,249 posts)they don't want to study and learn about all the boring policy things.
They want to do an entire show talking about some stupid shit Trump said on twitter and show his rallies.
They aren't there to report and inform people.
That are more like People behind reality tv that manipulate things to cause conflict to get ratings.
Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)of these people calling themselves journalists on cable news want nothing more than for Trump to run for President again if not win. They all had higher ratings when he was president. And most of them are so filthy rich they think they could flee the country or otherwise insulate themselves from the shit that might come down after the 2024 election, regardless of who wins. That's the real problem, you know, beating Trump in 2024 may not be enough to prevent some pretty catastrophic events from happening.

(989 posts)Why is Biden to blame for everything that is wrong with the world, regardless of whether he has any real control over it? Why are they hellbent on tearing him down? What the h--l do they want out of him?
He's responsible for what Putin does or does not do with Ukraine.
He's responsible for not ending a pandemic when he can't personally drag every person to the nearest CVS to get vaccinated or superglue masks on people's faces.
He's responsible for keeping inflation under control and the supply chain running smoothly like butter even though these are global issues exacerbated by the pandemic.
I don't get it at all.
