Uh-Oh, ‘A Sense of Drift:’ They Start Discussing Biden-Carter Similarities on ‘Morning Joe’

Joe Biden is in dire straits. A poll has shown that Joe Biden is only 33% in approval. Now, this certified liberal media member points out similarities between Biden’s presidency and Jimmy Carter’s.

Friday, Morning JoeEd Luce was invited for a discussion about his current projects Financial Times column,“America’s Nagging Echoes from the 1970s”Luce observed parallels between Moscow threats and inflation. He saw the following as the worst similarity: 

“The feeling of drift refers to the overall sense of drift. We have a sense“A president who doesn’t have control over his destiny is a bad president.”

Ouch!

Luce was a great liberal so he tried to shift some of the blame to Biden. He said that presidents have very limited power to control inflation or crime. Wrong! Overheating has been a result of the government pumping trillions into its economy. Biden’s talk about defunding police has led to overheating. All the talking in Biden’s party about police funding, and all of the looking the other direction when police officers were attacked by rioters, have demoralized law enforcement personnel while encouraging criminals.  Carter is also being mentioned in this way: “gee! there’s not much he can.”

Luce also let it be known that he continues to cheer for Biden, and is imagining his impending failure.

The difference [between Carter and Biden]Reagan is still waiting for Donald Trump. Biden failing to win is a disaster that will have far more dire consequences.

Yikes! America may literally end its existence if Biden loses and Trump wins! And funny how the left, which loved to hate Reagan, now casts him in benign terms—at least in comparison with Arch-Satan Trump!

Jonathan Lemire then heaped on Biden. He mentioned Carter’s “malaise” speech and then noted that Biden had recently spoken the m-word to his veep.

Lemire said that this “set off alarm bells for many Democrats and political observers: Whoah! That’s one the words you don’t use.” Lemire concluded with a grimace, “It’s a low time.” 

It is important to note that Carter didn’t actually say the word “malaise”, in his tragic speech. However, he said:

It’s a crisis in confidence. It strikes at the heart, soul and spirit our national will. This crisis can be seen in growing uncertainty about our lives as well as in the decline of unity and purpose for the nation.

Grim stuff! It’s no wonder America adopted Ronald Reagan, the optimist and founder of “shining cities on hills” and “morning in America.”

On Morning Joe, Ed Luce of the Financial Times drawing parallels between the presidencies of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden was sponsored in part by GlaxoSmithKline, maker of Parodontax, Subway, and Discover.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI – Ed, we have a Column. “America’s Nagging Echoes in the 1970sIf you jump to that, it will be ” Please tell us more.

It’s called ED LUCE. There is a concern about rising inflation as well as the increase in homicide. We’ve been seeing this year. Moscow: Ominous murmurationsWe had it at the Polish border then and again with Ukraine. And Drift, or the general feeling of it. It is the feeling that we are dealing with a president who doesn’t have control over his destiny.You can also enjoy the wider range of mood music Inflation and crime are two things that presidents do not have the ability to affect.To sway is, in my opinion, an uncomfortable analogy to the 1970s. 

But, Reagan, who is still waiting to be elected, is not Donald Trump. Biden’s failure to succeed has far more serious consequences.

JONATHAN LEMIRE : We should take note of Ed Luce’s comment about the 1970s. Jimmy Carter was there, and made waves when he gave his well-known malaise speech. Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States was also quoted using that wordIn an interview, this week This set off alarm bells in a lot Democrats and political observers.: Whoah, this is one of those words that you won’t be able to say. 

American voters are feeling a bit dissatisfied and restless right now. According to the White House, there is still a year until the midterms. It’s possible to turn it around. This is a difficult moment.
