A question for the pundits and history buffs out here, a lot of criticism Biden is getting right now is because he and his handlers are incapable of admitring fault, and regardless of political sides and what not, it is a hard thing to dispute, the democrats were giving the majority in both branches of electoral power, and it is taken as a good leadership quality to call onto themselves any fault and mistake.

Said that, I never saw any goverment, at least in recent memory, to call their own fault on things, be Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, they were always ready to blame the previous adm, or place the blame somewhere else.

So the question is, would it help Biden to call fault to himself and come straight forward with the public? How would the public react with a genuine apology and promisse to work on their mistakes, does that work to gain people's trust or will it just cement the ill will people already have against a faulty goverment?

And has any president tried this before? If so, how did that work out?

Speaking from the business perspective, that approach can work very well if you messed up something that pissed off customers... if you really do follow through, make things right, and put things in place to prevent future OOPSIE DOOPSIES. It can strengthen your relationship with them by proving you are willing to fix things and respond to feedback.

However, since high-level politicians are insincere pricks that solely care about amassing power and enriching themselves off the public, they have absolutely no intention of doing things better or correcting anything. So this method would blow up in their face. Better to just do the expected and say RETHUGLIKKKANS BAD or SLOW JOE BAD, depending on your party, and move on to the next fuck-up.

I'm half way convinced Biden is some sort of deep cover plant to render the Dems unelectable. I know that the real reasons behind all this is that the administration hates America and is incompetent to a cartoonish degree, but sometimes it feels like Biden is going out of his way to ensure the Dems are made beyond radioactive in the eyes of the public.

Hell he subconsciously might not want to be president, he possibly just wanted to live out his days in nice cars, continuing shady deals, and sniffing hair in private; and is just doing this to drag the Dems down with him before he gets dirt shoveled over his casket. If this is true he might even bless us with a total breakdown gamer word filled rant to the pants shitting absolute horror of the media, DNC, and handlers.

It would definitely hurt more than help Biden right now. It's as Gehenna brought up in this thread before: they're doubling down because it's the only strategy left. Biden coming out and admitting fault would open the flood gates as now both sides have open season on criticizing his actions - or lack of them. Fail to handle inflation and energy issues after saying you take responsibility? Now you've got everyone from pundits to opportunistic challengers nipping at your heels because you both took forever to take responsibility and because your solution fell on its face.

You typically only want to admit fault from a position of trust and power (since others are more likely to believe it), and Biden already blew what little he had of it last year. If he actually does do so in the near future it'll be because his puppet masters are throwing him to the wolves.

Caught this floating around twitter. Now, it's always possible that this is just a bunch of pissed off boomers, but given the current climate I don't think we can overlook the chance they'd use Psaki as a prop in a glow op

The best part about this is that nobody would have to show up for her to piss her pants, and there will still be mass arrests of people.

They'd be working on India and China if their priority was population.

This is about anti-Western ideals

China and India are not a huge issue China will most likely end up killing off massive amounts of population either through incredibly incompetent politics and massive destruction of their environment India's the same way.
It's my belief that their targeting Western Nations because they're the most likely to see through this and cause a problem. Mainlander Chinese and Indians are barely above the level of a Street shitting savage. In fact both India and China are facing massive water shortage/desertification and are on the verge of famine. I'm assuming they want mixed race serfdom class. So they don't really have one claim to a race or or nationality.

Admitting fault would mean admitting that the left-wing insistence that we can shut down all industrial production, bring in an unlimited number of immigrants, and print an infinite flood of money would somehow not have any bad effects whatsoever was wrong for decades.

Biden supporters virtue signaling themselves into economic depression and mental instability would be hilarious if it wasn't affecting everyone else as well (it is still funny tbh). No matter how much purchasing power they lose, how much more unhappy they are, how much society regresses through policies they support, they'll keep digging themselves into the ground and fooling themselves into believing they are great for doing so. It's like observing a nation of lolcows except instead of looking through the lens of the internet they all moved into your neighbourhood and gave you an uncomfortable front row seat.

God, this reminds me of that tweet by John Legend (who? I know) after Mark Cuban asked people to donate to charity instead of politics.

Him and his wife are fucking insufferable. I hope they die in a fiery car crash.

Question, RE: Psaki "glow-op."

Why's everything gotta be a glow-op? No, REALLY, WHY?

Put it this way: We have some genuinely concerning--SCARY shit starting to happen:

* Formula shortage/rationing
* Diesel shortage
* Yoinked Alaska leases (no one talks about)
* Fires abound at distribution plants
* Fass Fud outlets in many cities/town closed or drive through only due to no employees/customers
* Continued ongoing shortages for food
* Gas prices are RE--DONK--U--LOUS. How you gonna even get to work?
* Chemung IL and one in Wis. Deans plant CLOSED. US Govt. tells Deans to DIVEST. No one talks about this.

Plus I suggested WATCHING powdered milk and evaporated/condensed milk. This may be NEXT to go because they are already denigrating any sharing of old recipes--because you'd be at GRAVE RISK of being self-sufficient--and we can't have that.

All these reasons--and MANY MORE (dead soldiers, anyone??)--are treasons we would NOT BE EVEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION in the 19th century or early 20th century--because SOMEONE with some fucking balls would've already kicked something off.

But nah... everything gotta be a glow-ops. Like...I GET IT, there are glowniggers. But I swear, some people just seem content to just doom post or just go to facebook and post a dumbass may may while thinking they "finally did something."

So what if they're dum dum dummy boomers? At least them dum dum dummy boomers got off their collective asses to do SOMETHING. Shit...

Even goddamn fucking CUCKNADIA truckers managed to do SOMETHING.

1) First, because it would cause a rift not just within the White House itself (i.e. all the talk about cliques people here have been speculating about) but with the Left in general who don't want to accept any blame since that would be seen as a sign of weakness.
Click to expand...
The sign of weakness is the main concern I believe. The DNC has as many threats internally as externally at this point and there are tons of people in the DNC who would try to capitalize on such an apology. Hell the entire progressive wing would go ape shit trying to seize as much power as they could.

She already has been on twitter crying about it and blaming the county GOP for leaking her address.

I mean, they might be just dumb boomers. But idk. It's too easy, too on the nose, too public. Too fitting with the narrative they need to sell that the "real" danger is actually the rightoids, not the violent baby killers marching outside of judges homes. They NEED to flip the narrative to get some 1/6 type momentum going again and this would serve it up on a silver platter with garnishments.

I'll concede that some of us may be too quick to shout glow, but I've learned to always expect the worst out of these people. If it came out that the whole thing was an honest to God, To Catch a Predator type sting operation where they posted it and it was a decoy house where they arrested everyone who showed up, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

LOL this is an obvious glowop. Come the fuck on. "How do you do fellow Trumpsters? It would be a grand old time for us all to gather in front of Jen Psaki's house (here's her address, look, it's a doxxxxx). Make sure to dress up in all your finest MAGA regalia! Let's go Brandon, amirite? Own the libtards with our 'peaceful protest' *wink wink nudge nudge*"
