The Biden Disconnect, or Biden’s Bubble
Maybe it’s his mental capacity, but Biden, even before he took office, seemed to be barely connected to anything outside the prospective Presidency. I have to admit that I am not following him closely, but has anyone heard him address the following to any extent?
- Violence in the streets that continues to this day
- His goals of working with Congress
- His expectations (pro or con) of the upcoming impeachment
- What his plans are to encourage unity
- An appeal to Democrats to stop attacking Republicans
- Why any of his Executive Orders will be good for this country
- Explain to the public how mask mandates are good for the economy
I could go on, but it seems to me that Biden is living in a bubble. Does he actually consult with people to determine the benefits or limitations of his actions? Or do they just make a list for him and have him follow it? Did he just go back to the Obama agenda and dress it up for 2021? Did he decide simply to remove every Executive Order that Trump passed, rather than assess if any of them might be helpful?
More than ever, I think Joe Biden is barely clinging to reality. I don’t think he even knows how seriously limited he is. Certainly, everyone reassures him that he’s doing a good job in initiating actions—their plans—so why should they complain?
The new President just wants to be liked and accepted. Anyone who thinks he will take a stand against the radical Left is misguided. He will do what they tell him with sincerity and commitment. After all, he’s just along for the ride (although he doesn’t know it).
Welcome to the Presidency, Mr. Biden.
Enjoy your bubble.

I still find it mind-boggling for people to put up with violence, destruction, and chaos, just because they hate Trump. This kind of Group Hate is accepting lawlessness and attacks on fellow citizens, just to make a statement. I just don’t get it.
I think you may greatly underestimate the ability of many people to not see what’s right in front of their stupid faces.
The conservative mags and newspapers have been screaming about the filtering of conservative expression.
I cannot believe it myself. When Antifa and BLM started rioting before the summer I guess I felt for sure the election was handed over to Trump. But no. The country has apparently swung to the left.
I hope a goal of the Republicans is to block any attempt to replace him. Dems need to suffer for four years for running this proxy. An added benefit is preventing Kamala Harris from becoming President. It would be sweet to see her attend funerals for four years then banished to the dustbin of history without ever fulfilling her scheme.
Biden and his fellow lefties aren’t in a bubble for that implies they don’t know what is going on outside their bubble….are unaware of what the people want. They know what the people want. That is why they lied about or hid Biden’s agenda. You see, it isn’t what the people want but what they want to impose for the people. They see us as rubes and themselves as the wise people who are better able to decide what we should want.
I’m convinced that he’s not really running things anyway. His handlers are. And once they realize how much power they have, they may not be willing to give it up. Kamala may have a very long wait.
I said before that the biggest cat fight would be between Jill and Kamala. She can pull all the strings she wants but nobody will remember her in history.
The future hologram missive from Princess Dr. Jill saying “Help me, Mitch McConnell, you’re my only hope” if she wants her husband to stay in office as other Democrats, big tech corporations and the media decide they need an incumbent Kamala running in 2024 could be fun to watch. But if it were to happen for those in Joe’s party now aligned against him, any attempt to enlist Republican support for remaining in office would be used as proof that Biden is too mentally unstable to remain in office.

I don’t always like my fears to be validated, Drew. Thanks, though–I think.
Can Biden’s handlers call a lid on the State of the Union Address? We may find out in a few weeks.
I expect it will be done as a video presentation, not with a live audience. Which means they can do as many takes as they need, for Joe to be passably coherent for 20-30 minutes or whatever they can get away with.
Time to drag out the President John Gill meme again…

Love it!
That is pretty much how I feel about it as well. My support level for the GOP going forward is completely dependent upon the specific actions that they take at the national and state levels to ensure that such blatant cheating is not allowed in the future. Right now, I see very little from the GOP at the national level working towards those goals. In fact, I see people that I respect like Rep Crenshaw saying that it cannot be done at the national level and that conservatives shouldn’t want it done at that level. That attitude makes me even less likely to ever vote for a Republican for any level ever again. Right now I put the odds of me ever voting for another GOP candidate at under 5% and dropping. Of course, its even harder for them to do anything because the GOP are idiots and managed to lose two eminently winnable seats in Georgia.
Honestly so much of this was avoidable, but as with anything, it was easier years before Trump even thought of running, now its much harder to change direction, and seeing how the GOP has reacted with vapors over the protests on Jan 6th is indicative of why they aren’t worthy of support.
I don’t get it either, but that is my wife’s attitude…
