Yeah, the rosey glasses they're viewing him with right now is so disconnected from reality. So many on the left have whipped themselves up into this fever dream that he's going to be amazing and the second coming of Obama. I wonder how they'll react when it turns out that he's the second coming of Carter (at worst) or Ford (at best). This needs some highlighting, Opty deserves some recognition.

My political clairvoyance has reached a new level of transcendance.

Really, Biden seems to be a combo: the worst aspects of Carter plus the worst aspects of Ford.

So, on the heels of the NYT story that the stuff on Hunter's laptop did, in fact, belong to Hunter (thus meaning that social media corps actively suppressed accurate news stories), here's Mr. Hitler-wasn't-as-bad-as-Putin's original take on the story:

Lol (from late 2020):
Love the idea that verifying whether or not the laptop stuff was real was not the job of journalists, in Amanpour's view. Classic.

Lol, the defense of suppressing the story that is taking hold among the twitterati is that the story "was dubious, of course." It wasn't dubious at all, given that everyone already knew Hunter was a douchebag. Probably wasn't a story that should have sunk Joe Biden, but it shouldn't have been up to the media elites to protect him from the possible impact of the story.

Shit, I guess I'll start blaming all my mistakes on my Irish blood too. What a great defense for bad behavior! I've started seeing a sort of "yeah, but Trump's family is worse" defense of Hunter on Twitter. It's almost as if they're trying to absolve Hunter of any shadyness or wrongdoing by simply saying, "Sure, but Trump Jr.!" as if someone else also being crooked somehow excuses Hunter of being crooked. Not sure it works that way, but whatever. Leftists gonna leftist.

Honestly, in my entire adult life--which goes back to the late 1980s--I've never really felt the pinch of inflation until the last few months. The Dems are so screwed in the midterms...

Kinda sad that they're going to find themselves in worse shape with a Dem President than they were in while Trump was embarrassing the country from the Oval Office. It really takes El Capitan sized incompetence for the Dems to fuck up their brand and reputation so monumentally after being given pretty much everything they wanted in the last election.
