no one seriously believes biden is making decisions and running the show.
It's irrelevant.
The Biden
administration/team is getting things done, whereas the Trump administration did nothing worthwhile at all - it was a total disaster.
Stop focusing on the figureheads; instead, judge their terms by the policies implemented and their successes.
Just look at the local manufacturing jobs created by the Biden administration, compared to the Trump administration which did nothing for manufacturing
or American workers.
"Official statistics from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics show that manufacturing employment has risen by 789,000 since Biden took office in January 2021."
The choice is between a twice-impeached rapist & convicted felon, who is only interested in feathering his own nest, or a proven President with a vision for the country and its people.
During one of his painful recent attempts to shore up confidence in his health and competence US President Joe Biden said he would only step down if the Lord Almighty told him.
Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways, including perhaps via a growing group of Democrats who are suggesting he change his mind — and perhaps the White House’s own extraordinary incompetence.
During a testy press briefing at the White House on Monday (Tuesday AEST), both of the administration’s top spokespeople Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby said that
Biden would be giving a “big boy” press conference this Thursday at the conclusion of the NATO summit the president is hosting. “I guess a big boy press conference is what we’re calling it,” Kirby said matter-of-factly.
For a president who has long been accused to avoiding media scrutiny, granting the fewest press conferences and interviews of any by far, it was an odd choice of words.
Almost as bad, perhaps, as First lady
Jill Biden’s excruciating “you did a good job, Fifi, you answered all the questions” in the aftermath of Biden’s horror debate that’s prompted growing calls for him to step aside.
...
At a crucial meeting of concerned Democratic Party governors at the White House last week, Mr Biden reassured Hawaii’s Josh Green that he was physically fine. “
It’s just my brain,” Biden said, before saying he’d be scheduling fewer events after 8pm.
During his much anticipated, 22-minute interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos last week a dispute broke out with White House and ABC transcribers over whether the president said he would do “the goodest job” he could do or the “good as job”, neither of which makes any grammatical sense. He didn’t help his cause during a call into MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday (Tuesday AEST) either, suddenly yelling down the phone to the two sympathetic hosts.
https://x.com/bonchieredstate/status/1810322299712876849Expect more public criticism of Biden in coming days from leading Democrats, who must realise they’ll need to fight the President’s defiance with ever greater public criticism of their own if they have any chance of blasting him out of the party’s nomination process before the August party convention in Chicago.Unless his own cabinet agrees to remove him as president using the 25th amendment, an unlikely prospect at this stage, his growing pool of critics have no other option but increasingly pejorative assessments of the president in public, hoping to damage him politically so much he has no choice but to stand aside.
Expect things to get ugly.
