The chickens are finally coming home to roost for the Dems, despite the public charade.
Democrats are described as “frightened”. The Biden Administration is well aware of the crisis its in, and NBC has managed to capture the extent of the disarray, despite slamming Trump in the process.
Panic has now set in and the Biden administration is crumbling for the world to see. But the question of why anyone would expect anything different from a Biden/Harris team is the puzzling one. With Biden’s friends at NBC describing the state of the White House in such terms, the situation is likely even worse, if that is even possible to imagine.
Let’s hope the mayhem translates into serious change before it’s too late for America to recover.
“Inside a Biden White House adrift,” by By Carol E. Lee, Peter Nicholas, Kristen Welker and Courtney Kube, NBC News, May 31, 2022:
WASHINGTON — Faced with a worsening political predicament, President Joe Biden is pressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy while bristling at how they’ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets.
Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign, people close to the president say.
Crises have piled up in ways that have at times made the Biden White House look flat-footed: record inflation, high gas prices, a rise in Covid case numbers — and now a Texas school massacre that is one more horrific reminder that he has been unable to get Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence. Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can revive his prospects by November, when midterm elections may cost his party control of Congress….
“They came in with the most daunting set of challenges arguably since Franklin D. Roosevelt, only to then be hit by a perfect storm of crises, from Ukraine to inflation to the supply chain to baby formula,” said Chris Whipple, the author of a book about White House chiefs of staff who is now writing a book about the Biden presidency. “What’s next? Locusts?”
Biden wonders the same thing.
“I’ve heard him say recently that he used to say about President Obama’s tenure that everything landed on his desk but locusts, and now he understands how that feels,” a White House official said.
Managerial breakdowns
Amid a rolling series of calamities, Biden’s feeling lately is that he just can’t catch a break. “Biden is frustrated. If it’s not one thing, it’s another,” said a person close to the president.An assumption baked into Biden’s candidacy was that he would preside over a smoothly running administration by dint of his decades of experience in public office. Yet there are signs of managerial breakdowns that have angered both him and his party….
The president has also told aides he doesn’t think enough Democrats go on television to defend him. A particular sore spot is his slumping poll numbers; he’s mystified that his approval rating has dropped to a level approaching that of his predecessor, Donald Trump, ranked by historians as one of the worst presidents in history.
“He’s now lower than Trump, and he’s really twisted about it,” another person close to the White House said….

The democrats have buyers remorse ,16 months the Biden administration has try to blame all the crisis not on their deeply fault policies ,but on outside factors .Blame it on Trump, blame it on Putin ,blame it on the China flu, blame it on “racism” blame it on climate change ,blame it on the republicans not even in majority power in the Whitehouse, Congress ,or Senate blame the oil companies ,.Do not blame an empty suit demented old fool, in charge ,with a party escort girl waiting in the wings to take over on the lack of public confidence in this circus .This nightmare is less then two years old with over two years to go! This is what you get when you elect a placeholder, glad handler, empty suit with over 40 years in government with no record of doing anything worth talking about in his over 40 years taking up space on the Senate floor.. Even the great golden boy Obama turn his back on him(publicly at least)who is advising running this demented senile president?

It’s a crisis the Dems created themselves, starting with Crooked Hill-liar-y, Chuck Schumer, Comey, Brennan, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, and of course, the not-so-Catholic Nancy Pelosi. They all lied over and over and now their lies are being confirmed in court. They used thousands of ballot-carrying ‘mules’ to stuff ballot boxes and tricky software to rig the vote counting.
The evidence is on the side of those who claim a massive illegal manipulation of the 2020 vote … and that evidence grows every day. I believe it won’t be long before we hear Bill Barr admitting the 2020 election resulted from massive fraud … and that he is convinced Old Joe is a fraudulent-elected president.
The Dems had a motive (their unhinged hate of Trump) and they had the means (George Soros’ voting machines, the Chamber of Commerce, Muslim Brotherhood, labor unions, corrupt civil servants, partisan judges, partisans in the vote-counting rooms). Tens of thousands of Dems participated in voter fraud.

“The evidence is on the side of those who claim a massive illegal manipulation of the 2020 vote … and that evidence grows every day.”
Yes, that is true.
Anyone that looks at the evidence with a totally objectively will come to that conclusion.

Biden is not only the architect of his own demise but also of the Democratic Party and his incompetent and weak leadership has caused chaos in the world.
To paraphrase Obama “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to F**k things up.”
Wellington says
In Biden’s limited mind he still sees himself as wonderful and enlightened. Herein lies part of the problem, but only part, since virtually everyone in his bogus administration is also a doofus, ditto for Pelosi and Schumer in Congress. America is now led by idiots.
john smith says
Agreed Wellington, but they are not just idiots they are evil idiots. The trouble is they just don’ see it, they just don’t get it. They believe themselves to be the most righteous, the most virtuous, the most beneficial administration the people of America could possibly wish for. But their policies paint a different picture, as they look down and vilify those that oppose them.
We certainly are living in an upside down world.

True, Wellington.

The White House is in disarray NO the whole country is in Disarray thanks to the Dimocrats. Just think a 1/3 of the population thinks Joe is doing a good job. That should scare the hell out of us.
