Chuck Todd Blames Biden For Not Fixing Everything In 9 Months
Chuck Todd fully embraced Republican misinformation and glossed over the realities of the pandemic while faulting Biden for not returning everything back to normal already.
Link to tweet
Todd said as he opened Meet The Press:
On top of that millions of Americans have decided they dont want to return to their old high-stress, low-wage jobs. So, thats keeping job creation stubbornly low for the last two months and takes some important workers out of the supply chain. All those economic problems add up to a big political problem for the president.
Is all of this his fault? Of course not, but it is now his responsibility, and he and fellow Democrats are in real danger of suffering some serious political consequences. Mr. Biden ran on a promise of a basic return to normal, or at least a path to normalcy. But with the midterm elections just over a year away, unless voters see evidence of this new normal, they may decide to return power back to the Republicans.
None Of This Is Bidens Fault
The problems can all be traced back to Republicans refusing to get vaccinated. The supply chain issues are global and have nothing to do with Bidens policies. Hiring is dragging because COVID is still with us, and the pandemic is driving inflation.
There is not a single Biden policy that caused this mess. Nowhere did Todd mention that Republicans are attempting to use the pandemic to sabotage President Biden.
The Mainstream Media Wants Republicans Back In Power.
The corporate media of which college dropout Chuck Todd is a member loves divided government because it gives them the conflict and drama that they desperately crave without requiring them to do any of the actual work of journalism like informing the public about policies and how their government works.
The corporate media has seen their relevance decline since Trump lost, and Todds deceptive misinforming intro is an example of how they are working to help Republicans win in 2022.

(42,862 posts)It's disappointing to see it, but it's not at all surprising. They're really not the brightest bulbs in the box and appear to have been elected not on their intelligence, experience, abilities or whether they're actually qualified for the job... but only because they had memorized populist talking points and got angry on camera. Our nation deserves better.

(50,279 posts)on because anti-vaxxers are a fast food buffet for the virus and Republican politicians and talking heads are enabling and encouraging them. The only thing I blame Biden for is his continued belief (now waning) that he can work with Republicans. And if we could suddenly turn Sinema and Manchin into Democrats again that would help.

Hes a blowhard who has disgraced the Meet the Press brand. Tim Russert must be disgusted with the way this shill has sullied the name of a once great, tough-hitting news program.
I do not ever watch this incarnation of the once storied broadcast. Hes a hack and needs to disappear.

(32,712 posts)on multiple platforms. Last week I had to talk my brother and a coworker down. My brother has been bombarded with anti-Biden attacks from the left and also from financial outlets? Among his grievances was that HBCU funding has been dropped from the infrastructure bill and that cashapp now reports to the IRS?
My coworker called in a frenzy about how the United States is going socialist and she's worried she'll have to move to another country. 🙄
Repubs are good at targeting/trolling different groups with different messages and we have to start doing the same thing. If anything, run with tfg's own messaging: don't vote in 2022 or 2024 unless TFG is restored.

(5,137 posts)I may have my issues with both sides of our political landscape. (WAY more so from one side than the other). I may complain about almost every aspect of our modern corporate society. But, I am an American and I am not going anywhere. I understand that 'loyalty' is a dead concept, but not with me.

An uneducated, undeserving hack who bends over backwards to pretzel twist for the GOP and routinely goes out of his way to trash Dems. Fuck him

(10,017 posts)Now he wants Biden to clean up the mess inna few months. What an idiot! He could do the country a service if he talking instead about all the things Trump broke in government and in our foreign relationships and what Biden is doing to address Trumps damage and destruction. People need to know that if Trump is given four more years, he will finish the job he started, and well have a poor excuse of a country left.

While today he gives a deposition on the violence he had at his building in 2016....from 4 years ago.....and your whining about Biden....again how many millions do you make spreading your horseshit....

(15,334 posts)"Gertrude Alflin, 86, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Some say she was a woman of tremendous faith, attending church every morning. Others say that she was really a cruel woman who hated her family. Reports are that she became more of a homebody when the love of her life, Bernard, passed away several years ago, although some have questioned her whereabouts at the time of his death. In lieu of flowers, the family have asked that you play a Bingo Card in her honor at the Tuesday Afternoon VFW Post Bingo Game, but some people say that this would only encourage gambling.
She'll be laid to rest at Shady Grove Cemetery and Drive-Thru on Monday, although some have said it will be Wednesday."

Jeebus, just look at what the President's accomplished in 9 months for Pete's sake, how much 45 policies have been shit canned.

(6,837 posts)According to Genesis 11, the LORD said (he was angry at the time), If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this(overbuilding the tower), then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
That is usually mischaracterized, like so many of the important parts. The construction of the tower of Babel did not fail, undermined by a diversity of languages. It was cursed because of lies, malicious gossip and the intentional misinformation by which those languages were abused. God can get pretty malicious some times. He apparently invented lying.
Just a theory........I'm strictly a constructionist when it comes to the bible, old as well as new. Why not? The editors were.

I don't have the firm facts on that (let me be clear). When I'm working it's hard for me to keep up with day-to-day happenings. This is what my sister told me.
