https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/biden-s-job-ratings-decline-amid-covid-surge-afghanistan-withdrawal-n1277368So stupid. Biden's approval in handling Covid went from 69% to 53%. Only 25% support his handling of Afghanistan.
How is the Covid surge Biden's fault? It's not his fault that so many Americans are anti-vax idiots. I knew DeSantis' strategy of killing off Floridians and blaming it on Biden would actually work in this stupid country.
Meanwhile you literally have CNN/ABC pulling "But her emails" part II to blame Biden for the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. You have Republicans literally using Taliban propaganda to lie about what's happening over there. They're obviously refusing to talk about how much Trump and Pompeo contributed to this mess.
I'm so fed up with Republicans getting away with everything and Democrats being held to such a stupidly high standard.

(14,120 posts)The medias been unfairly brutal. But after a few months, when Afghanistan is out of the news, his approval will tick back up especially if we get the infrastructure bills passed. Hes a likable guy, hell be ok.

(7,733 posts)some other networks have figured out by golly, these folks have to go somewhere, so they give them good ole Fox-Light reporting. Its all for eyeballs and ratings.
Joe Biden was voted in because Americans trusted him to turn the country around. Hes doing it.

(29,322 posts)Afghanistan was always rarely covered by the media. It used to be known as Americas forgotten war. Now that Biden is making the correct decision the media remembers we had a war on Afghanistan for 20 years.
It is the right thing to do to end the war and not pass that decision to another President. I also admire he is willing to take a beating from the press to make that decision.
The Delta variant came from India IIRC and they have one of those right wing populists so not much the US can do about that.

(256 posts)is too concerned about polls.
His vision is to do the right thing for
the average American family.
Now, if the Democrats run around
spineless and are not resolve in their
support for his vision then they are
their worst enemy.
Joe has nothing to lose at this point
he's already lived a fulfilling life.

This is going along with new topic of this week, the 9 Dem House reps who are opposed to the reconciliation legislation.
