Because Biden

[JWB]

Slow Joe fails again:

Anthony Fauci, the president's chief medical advisor, says he "just can't explain" a White House tweet stating the COVID-19 vaccine wasn't available when President Joe Biden took office.

Fauci made the remarks Friday to CNN's Jake Tapper, who asked him about the since corrected tweet that seemed to falsely give credit to Biden for the vaccine's development. The exchange comes as the Biden administration seeks to defend its record against withering criticism from political opponents.

During the segment, Tapper pointed to a Thursday tweet from the White House stating that "when President Biden took office, millions were unemployed and there was no vaccine available."

"But as you know, that's not true," said Tapper. "There was a vaccine available, it might not have been widely available, but it was available."

Wasn't widely available.

That wasn't what he said, though, and his Administration changed little or nothing about the roll out.

Not what they said.  Considering that even the White House isn't defending it you may be a bit too partisan even for them. . .  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-misstated-vaccines-unavailable-twitter

then 220

Referring to the 220,000 U.S. Covid deaths at that point in 2020 candidate  Biden said "

As the Wall Street Journal’s editorial noted, Biden has set himself up for such comparisons. As a candidate in 2020, he commented on what were then 220,000 deaths, saying that “anyone that is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

Since Biden assumed the presidency the U.S.  over 600,000 in the U.S. have died of COVID. Almost three times the number that candidate Biden said made one unqualified to be president. The U.S. is closing in on the 1 million mark for COVID deaths. With no end in sight as it is becoming obvious that COVID will be endemic and continue to mutate.

It is NOT Biden's fault Americans don't want to do what is required for their own health and safety.

So he lied when he said a president responsible for that many deaths should resign.

I agree that it is not Biden.... or Trump's fault.  You probably agree with half that statement, but think every bad thing that happened from January 2017 -January 2021 was the evil orange man's fault.  I am pointing out Biden's attack points, and showing how it looks now that the shoe is on the other foot.  

What is Trump's "fault" is how poor he was at public relations. Bill Clinton would have cried for the cameras and many would know he was feeling our pain.

Covid is a pretty tough virus that has mutated and the U.S. population has some unique comorbidity s at higher rates than much of the rest of the world.  And World Wide COVID stats are very unreliable. China and Russia lying about their COVID death rates. Many countries health systems are in such poor state that it is hard for them to have any kind of accurate figures.

Didn't matter how he cried for the pressies, he wasn't from 'the same country club'(and he stopped The Pantsuit from her just due!) so there's no sympathy there. Part of his appeal to his audience WAS his lack of filter and his willingness to call a spade a spade.

Push back is good, picking unnecessary fights is dumb. 

Again Trump was a poor politician. He forgot that he needed to appeal to more than the MAGA crowd. He could not win with just the MAGA crowd. He needed to appeal to moderate independent voters. In 2016 he won a close race. In 2020 he lost a close race.

Trump would probably argue that he is not a politician. Bull shiite. He choose to get into that field. 

For example. I couldn't care less about Rosie O'Donnel. But what was the UPSIDE in getting in pissing contest with her? None. It made him look tough to his core MAGA supporters. To most people it just made him look small and petty. The old saying you wrestle with pigs you get dirty.

The 2016 presidential race showed that Mrs. Clinton was even a worse politician and more dis-likable than Trump.

Close race, he said it was a 'landslide' victory which it was, and also for Biden with the same EC numbers. He lost the popular vote each time.

She talked about working together so much that I suspect they have no intention of working with anyone.

 The God/Emperor endured attacks and slanders from all fronts from all kinds of mouthpieces and kept on 'truckin'--any other candidate would have either crumbled or been isolated; Instead of cringing like Mittens accused of being a tax cheat or keeping silent like Dubya (and in the end, being a punching bag for the opposition) 'Orange Man Bad' would slam back--especially again especially idiotic blowhards like O'Donnell.

And any way...the MAGA crowd appears to be quite large, and getting larger.

Trump is both. He's a fighter when he arguably needs to be but is also so disputatious that he picks fights he doesn't need to. Not every disagreement is worthy of a figurative bar room brawl.

Welcome to dealing with people and freedom. Why is it I get the feeling that you'd be more comfortable in China or Cuba where people can be MADE to do what the government feels they should do for their own good? 

You know there's a higher incidence of obesity in the lower income communities, especially certain minority communities. Is that Biden's fault? Can we blame poorer black American health outcomes on him? Why don't you do that? If you were intellectually honest you would do so.

You can't win a general election with just the MAGA Crowd. You need to get votes from main stream Repulicans and Independents.

Somehow I don't think the crowd who gets their news from TMZ or the country club crowd will be won over.
