Biden was always unfit to be president but his Left-wing media cheerleaders didn't dare admit it
2021-08-23
[TheTelegraph] The world appears to have woken up to an important truth this week: which is that Joe Biden is a truly terrible president. It is a shame that it took America gifting Afghanistan back to the Taliban for so many people to realise this.

To be charitable, there were perhaps two reasons why this had not become more obvious before. The first is that Joe Biden is not Donald Trump and for a lot of the planet that seems to be recommendation enough to occupy the Oval Office. A break from the Trump show appealed to an awful lot of people.

But the second reason why too few realised what the world was going to get from a Biden presidency is that the US media simply didn’t ask the questions it needed to ask. Before the election a near entirety of the American media gave up covering it and simply campaigned for the Democrat nominee.

It was the same with the Big Tech companies. So persuaded were they (Twitter in particular) that they had been responsible for Donald Trump’s election in 2016 that during the 2020 race they did everything they could to get Biden in. That included – and this cannot be said often enough – effectively muting America’s oldest newspaper: the New York Post’s story about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained serious allegations of corrupt tail-coating by Hunter and other members of the Biden family when Joe was vice-president. But Big Tech restricted the story from being shared and almost no other journalists bothered to follow it up.

This is just one week in the life of Joe Biden, but you could select almost any other week in his career and find a similar soup of certainty, unknowingness, falteringness and arrogance. It is what you get when you have spent a career with a court media asking you about your choice of ice cream and reached the highest office in the land because you weren’t the other guy.

The world always gets serious again. And it just got serious on Biden’s watch and has shown something that should have been revealed during the primary season long ago: that the man who is now commander-in-chief is not remotely in command of his brief.

#5  Our country is run by the BLM. Biden is just the house boy.

#4  Looking for adults is exclusionary and quite possibly racist. I know Jazz Jennings is 21 now and can no longer represent a crucial teenage policy maker gap, but that's no reason for you to exclude her from an executive decision position.

Its been obvious since Iowa. Even the die-hards were like, "My vote is actually a vote for the first female president."

#3  George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen says Biden's team of 'sycophants' who 'share his worst instincts' has enabled the Afghan disaster and asks 'where are the adults in the room?'
