Why is everyone so tough on Biden when things go wrong? ?

Question

Why is everyone so tough on Biden when things go wrong? Trump wasn't perfect. Neither was Obama or Bush? Can't you see that he is a sincere man who is only trying to do the right thing for everyone in the country and the world?

Because it’s a colossal fuck-up and a humiliation of the United States? I mean, the most powerful military force in the history of mankind basically begging a terrorist organization to please not attack the Embassy?

Don’t worry. The media is gearing up to ask him what flavor ice cream he likes.

nightdrot · Answer

Well, this suggests that Mr. Trump was not brutally and often criticized when he made mistakes. That is not my recollection of his presidency - and I say this as no fan of Mr. Trump. See also impeachments.

Mr. Biden, of whom it can be said, "I'm a man of no convictions - at least I think I am", ran a campaign from his basement, condemned every action of the Trump White House, blamed - and blames - Mr. Trump for everything up to, and including, the heartbreak of psoriasis, and set about dismantling everything Mr. Trump did and every policy he implemented. In that connection, there seemed to be no critique behind this condemnation, other than the fact that Mr. Trump conceived and implemented them.

Then inflation increased, then the southern border seemed to open to a flood of refugees, some percentage of which are COVID positive. At the same time, Mr. Biden implemented his own plan on the ending of the Afghanistan war effort - and now that it has gone wrong, he blames the previous Trump administration's policies binding him. This being odd given that Mr. Biden felt free to dismantle - sometimes on a dubious constitutional basis - everything else that Mr. Trump did.

Then Mr. Biden when on television and declared - in that phrase made famous by Mr. Truman - "the buck stops here." This only after blaming the Trump administration, the Afghan loyalist armed forces, faulty intelligence and everyone but his own mother for the failure of his Afghan policy. The buck coming to rest at Mr. Biden's door but apparently only after making numerous stops along the way. Even the mainstream media - heretofore not all that critical of Mr. Biden, condemned his Afghan war speech. (Indeed, it being only more ironic that the only group he did not blame was the Taliban.)

Whoever said that victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan never met Mr. Biden. Suffice to say, Mr. Biden's first 7 months in office have not exactly been a success story. Indeed, already comparisons are being made to former President Carter - a one term President whose tenure was a litany of missteps, miscalculations failure and a touch of plain old bad luck, and who did not lack for harsh criticism of his presidency.

Part of it is just politics. As Mr. Dooley famously said, "Politics ain't beanbag." Part of it is what Mr. Biden has brought upon himself. His policies have been - literally -thoughtless and reactive. He has replaced Mr. Trump's bombast with a self-pitying peevishness that comes across as self-absorbed and childish.

These are the reasons why "everyone" is "so tough" on Mr. Biden. Part of it is just the nature of politics, particularly in a media age. Most of it, though, is richly earned. Mr. Biden declared at the start of his presidency that he had over three decades in politics and, in effect, he knew how to make the trains run. What he has produced so far has been a mishmash of incoherent policies mixed with blunders, self-pitying whininess and a singular lack of philosophical consistency and principle.

Why is "everyone so tough" on Mr. Biden. Because his track record to date suggests that he promised more than he could deliver, and when he failed he was happy to look for scapegoats for his failings. It is beneath contempt.

Presidents are elected to get results, and - no - he is not going to get a participation ribbon for the Afghanistan event.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Well, the thing is, I can clearly see he's NOT sincere- he's a politician, and meraciously. Bear in mind that he didn't just pop into existence last year; he's been in Congress longer than I've been alive, and spent eight years in the Oval Office, and for much of that time, he's been making open war on the Bill of the Rights. When Obama was vowing he'd get the Patriot Act repealed, Biden was bragging about how he'd WRITTEN it (the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995, which he claims was in response to the Oklahoma City bombing- an act that so infuriated Biden that he apparently traveled back in time to write a law to prevent it; the bombing was in April, the bill introduced two months earlier). He also Gulf of Tonkined a "rape epidemic" into existence to justify his pushing of a policy that obliterated due process on college campuses- aside from a naked gun grab and telling people they have to quarter soldiers in their houses, he's violated every prohibition of all ten amendments. Back when Obama was signing bills of attainder, I remember thinking how odd it was that someone could make me miss president Dubya; nowadays I find myself wondering how it is that I've started to miss president Obama.

But putting my personal distaste for the man and disgust for his politics aside, the Presidency is an office with two functions: 1. protecting the country from Congress and 2. being a national whipping boy. This century has seen a marked decline in the first function, and an emphasizing of the second- recall the pre-election concerns that Obama was actually the Antichrist and the pre-election (and post-election) demonization of Trump. It's looking to me like Biden's being set up to be offered as a sacrificial lamb to appease a public that's growing resistant to traditional pandering and is very, VERY angry about the way the major issues of the day have been handled.

Floppy2112 · Answer

The delusion is strong with this one... lol. It's easier to list what isn't in crisis than what is, because everything is on fucking fire. There are shortages everywhere, the border is an absolute catastrophe, Inflation is at its highest rate since the 70's. There are more jobs available than unemployed people, but for some reason there is a labor shortage. The cuban refugees aren't welcome, but afghan ones are, as well as mexican, Guatemalan, Columbian, Honduran, etc. But no Cubans (personally offended being one). Biden managed to create more poverty in 8 months than all other previous presidents combined. The cities have the highest crime rates since the 70's. China is laughing their asses off at us, while they are about to move on Taiwan. And oh yeah, afghanistan was an absolute shitshow and still is. Let's see, we went from energy independent, to begging OPEC to ramp up production in less than 8 months. That has to be a record. That kind of stupidity takes talent. And I haven't even mentioned covid...

Put your head back in the sand, nothing to see here. I am sure I have missed about 50 other things in crisis. Everything went to hell in 7 months and is getting worse and worse. Somebody feel free to add on to the list of crisis's solely related to Biden, I know I missed a bunch of things that have fallen apart. The willfully delusional won't be convinced until the boot is in their ass. Until the nice soldier tells them then need to get on the bus for their typhoid inoculation, only to end up at a labor camp.
There is one thing that is getting better, my oil stocks. Biden has been good for driving up the price of oil.

MCheetah · Answer

I know you're a troll, but...

It's because Biden has been a career politician and crook all his life, and his son was caught doing illegal sh*t DURING his campaign. He's anything but a "sincere man" and he never has been. He has been racist his entire career, up to and INCLUDING his campaign. Mr. "you ain't black." Nigga, I'll prove my "blackness" to you.

As far as Trump goes; he wasn't a career politician, was too rich to be bribed or controlled by corporate interests, and (to be honest) probably wanted to be a great president more for his ego and to make the history books more than actual care of the American people. But you know what? I'm fine with that. Doing the right thing for the "wrong reasons" is better than a pawn who does all the wrong things, for the wrong reasons, and tells you to shut up and take it or the woke army will shove a pink boot up your ass.

And I know... Biden doesn't really have any power. He's just a figurehead meant to be the dancing monkey and take all the heat. Still doesn't excuse the fact he's been a career asshole in Washington and still riles people up and makes threats to destroy Constitutional rights. If they were going to have a puppet, at the very least, they could have a peaceful puppet and not someone even more controversial and a verbal asshole than Donald Trump was. That just makes them look like even bigger hypocrites, not that their actions of mimicking Trump didn't make them look like hypocrites while they spent four years trying to impeach Trump because he didn't have corporate interests on his side and was anti-China.

Lliam · Answer

I don't think Biden has a sincere bone in his body. He's just a paid actor like Obama, except Obama was the best actor ever and Biden is the worst.
He's not working for the betterment of the USA or the world. He works for his globalist bosses, as has every president since 1980.

Bill Clinton, Dubya and Obama were criminals. I wasn't a fan of Trump, either, but he was far and away better than Dubya, O'Bomber and Biden when all the chips are added up. The worst thing about Trump was his persona.

gotc147 · Answer

Seriously?

People shit all over Trump when he did things RIGHT.

This situation with Afghanistan isn't just a blunder, it's going to cost scores of people, mostly women, to suffer and die completely unnecessarily.

This would not have happened under Trump because Trump negotiated that peace deal and backed it up with the threat of force if the taliban acted up. Given Trump's numerous displays of strength on the world stage, he was taken seriously. Biden is weak as a kitten and so our enemies know they can walk all over him.

And lastly, Biden isn't even the one calling the shots, there is no sincerity from him. How could there be? He can barely string two sentences together, nevermind make world-shaping decisions.

JustAnj · Answer

Because politics is a front and people did not study the purpose of his position as well as seeing past the campaign talk. It's not an easy job because society are judgmental dicks with sticks up their asses. Lol

I don't know Biden, I also know that if we want answers we should look to ourselves and congress. President's are suggesters not rulers. Their face is what the government needs from him and the social skills to affect others in a moment of emergency including making the extremely difficult decisions that we know squat shit about.

So yeah, I don't see president's as leaders until they have to lead in societal emergency situations.

The rest is just for show.

BCA6010 · Answer

Are you serious? The media at large has been running interference for this guy since before he was even elected. Compared to all of his recent predecessors, they've treated him with kid gloves up until the Afghanistan debacle, and that's mainly because it's both indefensible and his office went against what his own party stooges were wanting him to do.

And they're setting the stage to have him replaced by Harris at some point.

MarkRet · Answer

Biden is trying to cool tempers down on both sides by compromising. The left wing of the Democratic Party (Bernie, AOC) are annoyed with him because he's not moving fast enough progressively. The right wing media is constantly after Biden, calling him 'socialist', 'radical left', or whatever. FOX news has that Peter Doocy planted in the press conference, with the sole purpose of trying to play 'gotcha' with Biden. Fortunately, Biden has Jen Psaki there to swat him like a bug. Whoever's president is going to feel the heat.

"Can't you see that he is a sincere man who is only trying to do the right thing for everyone in the country and the world?"

No, I can't see that because he's not. He's dishonest and self serving. He is the epitome of a politician in all the worst ways. And he's a fuck up. What he has done with Afghanistan was about as stupid as it gets, and it will cost countless lives.

But I blame to morons who voted for a senile old man more than I blame him. The stupidity of American voters is unrivaled anywhere in the world.

Bitch please they've handled his ass with kid gloves. Trump is who got handled rough. Have they compared niden to hitler... nope. Have they called him a racist 24/7. Nope and just to point out biden was responsible for alpt or racist policies in his early career. So no he hasn't in any sense of the word ever been handled "rough"

Qdbrown · Answer

Man, I think Biden has it far easier than Trump did. The Media crucified Trump on anything that he said, didn't say or did at any point of his life.

Obama had his time in the limelight when he screwed up. George W, and Clinton as well. Most Presidents will get hammered on.

They're the leader, they bare responsibility of their decisions. Biden and his team underestimated the Tahilbahn, and now they are paying for it.

Who is tough on Biden? In seven months he has caused more damage to America than the Axis Powers did in WW2 and he gets to give a lame 20 minute speech, blaming everyone for Benghazi2 except himself. And then gets whisked away without answering a single question instead of getting the tar and feathering he so richly deserves.

darkcloud1945 · Answer

He has not done one good thing since taking office we are the laughing stock of the world. He has put this country in danger from terrorist attacks witch should start around the holidays for most effect. He is spreading covid around the country with midnight filghts of unvaccinated illeagls all around the 50 states. Open southern borders 200,000 illegals came into this country last month and no one knows where they are. So he deserves the people bieng tough on him since he is screwing the people with his AMERICA LAST, COMMUNISM FIRST

hahahmm · Answer

He made a bad decision... the proof is that the U. S. military left so fast that equipment and munitions were left behind. An entire major base was abandoned without even telling the Afghan security forces to keep looters out for example. Also just about every media outlet left & right says he's a shameful. Former military and diplomats from all sides also agree that he made a dumb move. You can't ignore that.

mvpverona · Answer

He’s the president and holds a high position. Having a higher role you have more responsibilities and more problems. Since he is president, he represents U. S. citizens. He is one person but not everyone may agree with him which is why they are tough on him.

PositiveNote · Answer

Why not? All the presidents want to take on the hardest job in the world. He like all others have thousands who will jump at his command to find out the absolute best answer to every decision. If he chooses to pick a direction that is not agreeable with the majority of Americans, then he's just going to have to deal with it. That's how it goes when you're the boss! ... of the FREE WORLD!

grega239 · Answer

Because he disrespected the withdrawal agreement just to spite trump.

The right thing for the world? Are you fucking kidding. How many thousands of refugees will come to Europe? How many women will get raped like they were during the "syrian refugee crisis" in germany and sweden?

Fucking americans. Fucking up everything and letting others suffer for it.

Anonymous · Answer

Because he didn’t just come out of nowhere.
He was Vice President for 8 years and before that was in the senate for about 40 or 50 years, yet he hasn’t done anything good the whole time and had the chance to when he was VP and before all that. If he were working for a real company he would’ve been fired a long time ago and never been able to get another job in that field of trade.
He’s professional failure.

Everyone isn’t tough on him. But to pretend he was apart of the Obama administration who failed to leave Afghanistan is being disingenuous. I don’t blame him for getting out. I blame him for the eight additional years we were there.

I don't blame Biden for this failure in the middle east. I give the blame to every politician who supported the initial invasion and the continuation of the war for two decades.

crmoore · Answer

Because people were unfair to Trump, and they elected blatant incompetence because they're offended by words. And Biden isn't innocent, himself. He partook in the unfair treatment of Trump. So he is every bit deserving of the criticism he is facing.

Anonymous · Answer

For the sake of equality. Either they are true enemies of equality and we should never trust any wish for equality by these Biden supporters, or equality is so important to them that any negativity given to Trump must be shared with Biden. You see it would be a extremely dangerous to let them get away with making Trump jokes but failing to make the same amount of negative Biden jokes.

Because there was a choice available to make things better, or even to do nothing, instead that administration chose to make things worse, much worse.

But he gets off easy compared to Trump. Biden has way worse than anything Trump was accused off and with more proof against Biden, yet everyone was *very* tough on Trump.

People should be *more* tough on Biden.
