It’s been a banner week for the White House communications team. Jen Psaki, along with her team, had to fix numerous Joe Biden mistakes. Some even had the potential to cause another war.
RedState reports that in one case, Putin was declared to be out of power by the president. It was almost like a declaration of war. After that, the White House tried to claim his statements were rhetorical but not literal. Biden appeared to have revealed the US entry in Ukraine a day earlier, but that was also quickly denied.
All on it all, it’s been quite the roller coaster.
Biden’s trip to foreign countries was a disaster.
Biden demanded regime change in Russia and said that U.S. soldiers were being sent to Ukraine. He also suggested that he might use chemical weapons against Putin.

Regarding Jake Sullivan’s cleanup on the use of chemical weapons, Biden decided it was a good idea to announce to Putin that any US response would be based on “how bad” the attack was. Then, in an attempt to deflect from another “minor incursion” moment (in the first one, he suggested Russia could get away with a minor entry into Ukraine), the president said the US would respond “in-kind.” Of course, that would denote the use of chemical weapons by NATO forces in retaliation. Obviously, that’s insane and not something the administration wanted hanging out there.
Still, I can’t help but notice the lack of mean tweets in the midst of all this. Biden nearly got America into war several times, Iran has launched missiles at US consulates and North Korea is testing missiles. But, by God, President Obama is very nice on Twitter. I’m just overjoyed that vast swaths of the American electorate and almost all of the news industry decided that faux decorum was the most important issue of our time.
And sure, that’s not exactly a new complaint to make, but Biden just keeps providing more and more evidence of how absolutely asinine the 2020 election was, even putting aside election security concerns. The entire cycle boiled down to the gnashing of teeth over Trump’s personality without even a second thought to how the nation’s economy and foreign policy might be affected by the alternative. With inflation at 7.9 percent and Russia invading Europe, I think we’ve seen the consequences of that.
Perhaps most ironically, though, Biden’s presidency has not actually ushered in the age of normalcy and friendly campfire circles we were all promised. The current administration, however, is divisive and mean-spirited. It’s more opaque than the ones that have preceded it. That it isn’t manifested via social media is hardly any consolation, whether we are talking about Americans, Ukrainians, or just about anyone else.
Meanwhile, leftists and news media allies just keep their fingers crossed.
If you think Pres Biden is “inarticulate” you need to look in the mirror and come to terms with the fact that it’s not him, it’s you.

You see, it’s your fault that Biden can barely complete a sentence and that he continually makes major mistakes on the world stage that could lead to disastrous outcomes. We all need to stop being so pathetic towards the president. Besides, he’s got ice cream to eat and more four-day weekends in Delaware to enjoy.
