Another week of blunders for Democrats
Biden and his team delivered a week that was alternately enraging and amusing and ended up, like so many of their earlier weeks, as just another face plant.
Biden’s big speech last week was a demonstration of a rapturous version of Trump Derangement Syndrome. When Biden labeled Republicans “semi-fascists,” even some of his usually worshipful media hesitated.
This week, Biden both tried to back away from that and simultaneously labeled MAGA Republicans (those who like Trump) a danger to democracy. The real danger to democracy is a president who won’t allow dissent, which is Biden to a T.
The feeling is mutual. College football season has arrived, and there is no revival of the “Let’s go Brandon” chant from last year. But fans at a few games were readily heard chanting the more direct “F*** Joe Biden.”
The Saudis dissent from Biden easily because, thanks to his anti-energy policies, we are again dependent on OPEC for oil. Having gone to beg oil from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Biden thought we’d be OK on oil imports. But this week, the Saudis gave him the back of their hand, announcing a reduction in oil production. Maybe that fist-bump with MBS wasn’t a gesture of friendship.
Last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued with a reporter that the hundreds of illegal immigrants coming across the border unvaccinated was a different issue from not allowing an unvaccinated tennis champ to play in a tournament. She said it was entirely different, but no one could see how.

This week, she argued that her tweets that the 2016 election was stolen by Trump were different from her insisting that no one should question election results. It’s only OK if she does it, and nobody else should.
Now, math can be hard, and we understand that Jean-Pierre isn’t a descendant of Werner von Braun. But you got to admit that when she said that Biden has created “ten thousand million jobs” since his presidency began, that’s nothing short of hilarious. (That would be 10 billion jobs, which would employ more people than the current population of planet Earth.)

With these kinds of bloopers, it is hard for the mainstream media to ignore them, but they try their best to do so. KJP is in over her head. Trying o defend Biden would be a tough job for a smart person.
