This Fox News article simply confirms what we have already known for some time.
Biden had multiple ‘explosions’ at staff over excuses for inaction at the border: report
President Biden reportedly exploded several times over what he believed were excuses from his team for inaction at the southern border, according to a Washington Post story on Wednesday.
“When Biden would have explosions, and he did have a bunch of them, he’d say: ‘D— it, you haven’t told me anything different from what you told me last week,’” a former official, who remained anonymous, told The Washington Post. (my emphasis)
The chief executive orders action and nothing happens? Repeatedly? He is the fall guy here. Whether it is certain individuals, or a cabal, that are sitting on their hands, they are keeping their heads down and letting Joe Biden think he is still in charge.

Leon Panetta, former Obama defense secretary and a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s advisory council, told the outlet that he was not sure the administration was ready for the end of Title 42.
“I’m not sure we’re ready for the consequences,” he said. “When you remove Title 42, there’s going to be new challenges that are going to have to be faced head-on.”
This guy is a former defense secretary? Not ready? No plan?
I hate to belabor the obvious and join in the chorus singing the “Joe Biden is Past It” song, but this is so frustrating.

All are likely to have a thread of plausibility, woven into a fabric of deniability. They will keep spinning these yarns until you forget, and move on to the next tale.
Same thing happened to Trump to a certain extent.
Trump would fire people eventually.
Not always. And often not soon enough.
Question. How did Brandon remember what he was told last week?
