Biden needs to lead...NOW!

Congressional Democrats are fractured. Progressives are threatening to torpedo the infrastructure bill. Moderates are threatening to torpedo the budget reconciliation bill. Biden is nowhere to be seen. He's neither leading nor deputizing someone to lead his domestic policy agenda. He's doing nothing to unite the factions within his own party behind him. His absence has Democrats tearing into each other while Republicans gleefully stand on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, everything that could go wrong internationally is practically going wrong: The botched exit from Afghanistan, the recent drone strike that killed innocent civilians in Kabul, the botched diplomacy with France over building submarines for Australia, and the Haitian refugee crisis on the border and mass deportation of Haitians back to Haiti, even though a substantial number of people journeyed to the border from somewhere else.

And where is Kamala Harris? After Biden's inauguration she was seen with him in practically every meeting. Now the Vice President appears to be, umm...flipping coins at football games and planning to go on The View. What gives? Did Biden distance himself from Harris after her own political debacles earlier this year? Is Harris distancing herself from Biden? Regardless, a wedge has formed between the President and VP at a very inopportune time.

Biden spoke all about unity during the Inauguration. He's failing spectacularly. Forget about unity with Republicans and conservatives. He needs to start unifying the Democrats...right now. Otherwise, the party is going to take a shellacking next year when they have nothing to show voters after being in power.

I don't know how people missed that he was wasn't mentally up to the task during the election. I didn't like Trumps comments and toward the end with his Mike Pence comment. Or his lack of losing gracefully. However, he was at least a good leader in terms of the border and economics. He would have gotten the people out of Kabul first then the military last. So much failure in such a short time. I too was hoping more for Biden, but he's proving to be a true failure.

No offense but I don't care. I, and many others, have PTSD from the Trump years. From threatening Denmark over Greenland to supporting a dictator in the Philippines to putting kids in cages.

I just wanted it to stop. Biden was the answer. Biden has returned normalcy to the office.

I honestly could care less about accomplishing anything significant legislatively. I just want us to course correct back to 2015-2016, when everything was sane.

And that's what he's done. Plus protecting the ACA, getting us the f out of Afghanistan which was always the goal, and putting us back into leadership pacts with NATO and the WTO.

Back to normal. That's all I wanted.

Peace. Serenity. Composure. Not tear-gassing protestors and one tweet away from another Charlottesville.

And if anyone brings up France and the AUSUK agreement I'm just going to laugh.

If a Republican had the balls to do what Biden did and signed a profitable agreement with a major global leader on top of it, you all would never had shut up about it.

France will get over it. Just like that fool Johnson got over us not listening to him on Afghanistan. He fired his Foreign Secretary/Secretary of State and is now back to licking our heels.

I really don't care about the border. I care about COVID. Trump didn't and Republican governors don't and want to let it just rip through.

You know Biden just backstabbed NATO hugely with the new AUKUS deal?

I may be one of the rare Americans who actually reads overseas papers. Biden has not gotten positive press abroad in countries that are solid allies for both the handling of the Afghan withdrawal (which he did with very little coordination or even advance notice to our allies) and now the AUKUS deal. Let's put it this way, there's more than a few comparisons being made between Biden and Trump in that they do exactly what benefits America and not anyone else, including allies.

What I do find interesting is that the left went utterly berserk under Trump and promoted huge protests that led to violent riots and tearing down statues and destruction of property - all by left wing people, and somehow that's Trump's fault It's fascinating what people want to believe. Things are more serene now? When according to all polls, people are even more unhappy with the direction of the country and the government is as polarized as never before?

Sure, kid yourself.

Well, if you did more than read papers you'd know that a) Biden didn't backstab NATO, and b) France is well-known for being grumpy whiners who refuse to provide eager military support to NATO maneuvers.

In fact, they did so just this summer.

France resists more joint funding of 'brain dead' NATO
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-france-resists-more-joint-funding-brain-dead-nato-2021-05-28/

So no, this isn't targeted at NATO. Maybe it was about payback since France was prioritizing French military sovereignty and now the U.S. is doing the same.

As for the protests - yes, it was pretty bad. What was worse - a President who essentially kicked the anthill every time he opened his mouth.

"When the looting starts, the shooting starts."

Have you noticed that people react badly to being threatened? Especially by the President of the United States who should be a uniting force at all time?

So nice to be in 2021 where sanity reigns.

This. The issues OP listed are real. I believed he would elevate the US again in the world. He hasn't. I can't blame him for Covid because it is a problem in evolution and we are only able to react. The border is an issue. I have looked at the numbers and it is a real issue and hasn't improved at all since he took office. The numbers don't lie. I am also disappointed by the lack of the feeling of leadership. I can't quite describe that but with every prior president in my memory, I knew their priorities and saw how their worldview and plan for out country flowed out through their staff. I don't see that at all. He doesn't seem to lead or take responsibility for the way things are going or the impact of his decisions. Jen Psaki said yesterday that the people at the border don't plan to stay long. That is just a ridiculous statement. I feel like Mayorkas has been told to just say "the border is closed" and that is all he has by way of direction from the WH. I don't think he can explain a plan because he hasn't been given enough guidance to develop one. And with prior presidents, the role of the VP has varied but they were present. Harris has virtually disappeared even though she was identified as point person on a number of issues. She is never visible. It feels like the ship is just moving through the ocean on autopilot because the pilot isn't giving direction. Meanwhile bad stuff is happening but the ship doesn't change course. It is a very uncomfortable feeling.

Funny, no major allies snubbed Trump by not even showing up to his UN addresses and no major allies pulled their ambassadors from their US Embassy under Trump. Biden managed that feat all in one week! Seriously, you need to get some perspective about what is going on. France pulling its ambassadors is a major middle finger to the US so don't act like things are better now than under Trump. The worst thing Trump did was to shake Macron's hand but at least they spoke. Macron won't even acknowledge Biden right now. Well done.

Interesting that you profess to "caring about COVID" and not about the border - yet the border is where thousands of unvaccinated people are streaming in to our country. Kind of a Catch-22, dontcha think? And that's just a kind way of saying you're an utter hypocrite.

Or his lack of losing gracefully. However, he was at least a good leader in terms of the border and economics. He would have gotten the people out of Kabul first then the military last. So much failure in such a short time. I too was hoping more for Biden, but he's proving to be a true failure.

No offense but I don't care. I, and many others, have PTSD from the Trump years. From threatening Denmark over Greenland to supporting a dictator in the Philippines to putting kids in cages.

I just wanted it to stop. Biden was the answer. Biden has returned normalcy to the office.

I honestly could care less about accomplishing anything significant legislatively. I just want us to course correct back to 2015-2016, when everything was sane.

And that's what he's done. Plus protecting the ACA, getting us the f out of Afghanistan which was always the goal, and putting us back into leadership pacts with NATO and the WTO.

Back to normal. That's all I wanted.

Peace. Serenity. Composure. Not tear-gassing protestors and one tweet away from another Charlottesville.

You know Biden just backstabbed NATO hugely with the new AUKUS deal?

I may be one of the rare Americans who actually reads overseas papers. Biden has not gotten positive press abroad in countries that are solid allies for both the handling of the Afghan withdrawal (which he did with very little coordination or even advance notice to our allies) and now the AUKUS deal. Let's put it this way, there's more than a few comparisons being made between Biden and Trump in that they do exactly what benefits America and not anyone else, including allies.

What I do find interesting is that the left went utterly berserk under Trump and promoted huge protests that led to violent riots and tearing down statues and destruction of property - all by left wing people, and somehow that's Trump's fault It's fascinating what people want to believe. Things are more serene now? When according to all polls, people are even more unhappy with the direction of the country and the government is as polarized as never before?

Sure, kid yourself.

Exactly.
