White House takes the gloves off ahead of 2024

[Social Media]

 

The Biden White House has tried to present itself as being above the fray of day-to-day squabbles, but increasingly, it’s jumping in, bashing the GOP and other critics at every opportunity.

The administration didn’t miss a chance this week to hammer Republicans over Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) floating that the House would move towards an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. They were quick with memos and statements to criticize the GOP attacks as a “clown carousel” and the idea of pursuing impeachment as “baseless.”

 

And the White House issued a scathing rebuke of Fox New host Greg Gutfeld, who said that Jews captured and tortured during the Holocaust survived by having skills and being useful, calling out his comments as a “dangerous, extreme lie.” 

The new levels of punchy rhetoric preview the White House messaging strategy going into 2024, which is to fight back and call out what they consider extreme.

It’s a shift from their previous attitude, which was to let what they considered to be Republican chaos speak for itself.

Mr. President you have some serious issues since the Gop took control and started oversight committees, and its only gonna get more complex for you imop

 

“This election is going to come down to the middle. The middle ideologically, the middle of the country geographically, and the middle class,” Kessler said. “These are places where Biden’s got to win.”

 

 

54% of Americans disapprove of the president!

 

The three-day online poll, which asked Americans, "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president?" and ended on Monday, showed a marginal decrease from his 41% approval rating a month earlier, within the survey's three percentage point margin of error

Kinda hard for ol' Joe to take the gloves off when he is on yet another vacation, this one 10 days on the beach in Delaware (again).  Something like 40% of his time in office on vacation. Nice gig.

Yet Both Trump and Biden spent all or part of at least 250 days at their own properties or on vacation in the first 853 days of their presidencies — that is, through May 22, 2019 or May 22, 2023.

Here we go again, "b-b-but TRUMP!".  Seriously, it is getting boring. 

 

Joe has taken 340 days off so far in less than 3 years.  Plus his general daily schedule is 6 hours or less when he does bother to show up.  

 

Nearly 60% of Americans report that they are living "paycheck to paycheck" this year, compared to less than 20% in 2019.  Overall costs up 21% over the same term.

 

Thanks Bidenomics.

From 2019:

Survey: 8 of 10 Americans live paycheck to paycheck

And Trump didn't inherit a pandemic, did he?

 

But wait there're more:

Wages surged for lowest-paid Americans after the pandemic

Does the following look like good news to you?

 

Black Unemployment Reaches All-Time Low

I guess what's left for Bidenomics to say to your thanks except, "You're welcome."

Actually, in the latest inflation reports for June, the USA came in lowest of the G7. It looks like this inflation was primarily due to a mismatch between supply and demand of goods thanks to covid. Now that that is going away, inflation seems to be reverting to its normal levels.

Yes, 'seriously, it is getting boring'.

 

'Trump has visited a Trump Organization property on 428 days of his presidency, or one visit every 3.4 days. That means that he has visited on about two days of every week of his presidency.

 

Trump’s presidency ends where so much of it was spent: A Trump Organization property - The Washington Post (googleusercontent.com)

 

'President Donald Trump's working days are as short as five hours long, according to private schedules leaked to the media'.

So, in other words, Biden takes more holidays than Trump. Thanks for the clarification.

 

Plus, "as short as 5 hours" is a far cry from Biden's constant 6 hour days.  And let's not even get into the topic of press availability and interviews- another category where Hidin' Biden leads the pack by a long way. 

 

And THAT is your standard for a good president? The mind reels...

My standard for a good president is how much he gets accomplished on issues I support. And a lot got accomplished.in that regard.

Who cares how many hours they put in if stuff gets done?

When I read the WaPo link I found that of the 256 days of his presidency, he has all or part of 75 days at Camp David (the unofficial designated getaway for presidents) and 68 days overseas. Those 68 days spent overseas are most probably working days and at Camp David he probably was working part time as well.

 

Whilst the WaPo did not necessarily lie, it also didn't mention what President Biden was actually doing, whilst away from the White House, who else was there or who he met at the time.

 

At least he wasn't playing golf all the time at the US taxpayers expense for himself or flying his security crew and the aircraft crew to stay and one of President Biden's golf resorts offshore. AFAIK President Biden doesn't own any resorts.

 

There is more info in the link if anyone is interested in digging a bit deeper.

Joe Biden? In touch with what, or who exactly? The man can barely walk, needs a CPAP at night to breathe, requires cue cards to select journalists (and their presubmitted questions), and avoids taking spontaneous questions the press like the plague.  How exactly is he 'in touch'?

Untrue on both counts. But nice try. If you could come up with some evidence of either claim, please feel free.

 

Now, do you have any relevant comments on the topic of the discussion, which is the White House supposedly starting to "play tough"?

[thaipo7]

Hanaguma  The truth is  - Biden has been off on vacations for 40% of the time in office so far.  Not available for emergencies.   Why does he not visit the border?  Complete farce of a President.
