TBH. I don't really think Joe Biden is all that aware of or cares about his polling. I honestly don't think he is aware of where he is or what year it is most of the time.

Jill Biden on the other hand I can easily imagine being very angry that the dirty pesants do not approve of her husband.
Just look at when Obama and all the other folks visited the whitehouse not that long ago and Joe just walked around, confused, and everyone just ignored him and wanted to talk to Obama instead. He was not angry, he didn't look angry. He just looked confused and disoriented because there were so many new faces. Why were they there? What did they want? Why did no one want to talk to him?

I re-wrote the article to be closer to the truth. Which one do you think is most accurate? Their version or my version?

In an NBC article, anonymous sources – including current and former administration officials, lawmakers, and congressional aides – shared information that revealed Jill Biden’s insecurities as First Lady and her frustrations with the increasingly negative way her husband is viewed by Americans.

As crises continue to emerge nationwide, including heightened gas prices, record inflation, a baby formula shortage, and, most recently, a school shooting, Jill’s frustration increases.

As his approval ratings plummet, Jill blames outside factors for his unpopularity. She reportedly complains that Republicans aren’t facing enough blame for legislative gridlock in Congress, and blames her own party for not defending him enough on television.

According to the NBC piece, “Jill has vented to aides about Joe not getting credit from Americans or the news media for actions she believes have helped the country, particularly the economy.”

As Jill blames Democrats and Republicans for her husband's woes, Democrats and Republicans are both blaming the White House for the problems they are facing.

Aside from a lack of communication, another major problem that Jill is facing is that her husbands aides continue to contradict his public statements, a common occurrence that many Republicans often bring up as evidence that Joe is not fit to lead our country if he can’t even be trusted to speak for himself.

Jill has reportedly complained to advisers that this “clean-up campaign” undermines him in front of the American people and calls his authority into question.

For example, Joe’s authority was questioned and mocked worldwide after Joe said that Russian President Putin “cannot remain in power,” a statement which was quickly walked back by aides who immediately jumped into ‘damage control’ mode.

This incident – the likes of which has repeatedly occurred – angered Jill because she realized Joe's remarks are beginning to be viewed as unreliable. She reportedly reminded Joe's staff that he is the one who is president and that he is to be allowed to speak genuinely – despite the threat his ad-libbing may pose to the American people.

As Jill feels Joe is losing his reputability among the American public, she faces continued frustration with Joe's slipping ratings.

Regarding Joe’s abysmal approval ratings, one source close to the White House reported, “He’s now lower than Trump, and Jill’s really twisted about it.”

To mend his ratings, Biden has tried to travel outside of Washington (and the U.S.) more. However, on his trips, many Americans confront him and ask why he isn’t able to get more done for the country’s suffering economy.

A senior advisor to Sen. Bernie Sanders, Faiz Shakir, addressed his bleak vision for the future of the current Democratic party. “We’re on a track – a losing track,” said Shakir.

Joe Biden's pet niggress denies he wants to ban 9mm guns, Based Black Man from Georgia is not happy with Trump and apparently maybe why the primaries have high turnout, is because of Democrats sabotaging them.

Biden doesn’t support ban on all handgun sales, White House press secretary says (Archive)

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday said President Biden does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns as lawmakers continue to feel pressure to do something following a series of tragic mass shootings.

Jean-Pierre stated Biden's position in response to a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy about whether the president would support legislation similar to Canada that would implement a "national freeze on handgun ownership" in that country.

"He supports a ban on sales of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and expanded background checks to keep guns out of dangerous hands," she said. "He does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns."

On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a bill to freeze handgun ownership following the killing of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas.

"What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada," Trudeau said at a press conference.

"We recognize that the vast majority of gun owners use them safely and in accordance with the law, but other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives."

That same day, Biden appeared to suggest that he characterized as 'high-caliber' weapons should be banned. The remarks came outside the White House following his trip to Uvalde.

Recounting a visit to a New York trauma hospital, Biden said doctors showed him X-rays of gunshot wounds.

"They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden said.

"So, the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting," Biden added. "Remember, the Constitution was never absolute."

"You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed," Biden said. "You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weaponry."

Jean-Pierre said Biden was looking at other executive actions that can be taken on gun reform and has called on Congress to act.

"He wants to make sure there's action," she said. "The president has made this one of his priorities from the first day that he walked into this administration and now he's calling on Congress to act."

Handguns in 9mm are the most popular in the United States, and are not considered "high-caliber" by most firearms experts.

Herschel Walker Says He Is ‘Mad’ At Trump For Saying He Asked Him To Run For Senate (Archive)

Republican Georgia Senate nominee Herschel Walker said that he is “mad” President Donald Trump for saying he was the one who told Walker to get into the race against Democratic Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock.

In an interview posted Saturday with a rapper named Killer Mike on Revolt TV, Walker explained that Trump never asked him to run for Senate and that he is “taking credit” for saying he did so. Walker said it was one thing that people did not know about his race.

“One thing that people don’t know is President Trump never asked me,” Walker said. “I need to tell him that he never asked. I heard it all on television that he’s going to ask Herschel, saying Hershel is going to run. President Trump never came out and said ‘Herschel, will you run for that Senate seat?’”

“So, I’m mad at him, because he never asked, but he’s taking credit that he asked,” Walker added.

In March of 2021, Trump encouraged the football legend to run for Senate in Georgia putting out a statement from the Save America PAC that read: “Wouldn’t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL. He is also a GREAT person. Run Herschel, run!”

Walker spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2020 and served on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition under Trump.

The Daily Caller contacted both Walker’s campaign and Trump’s communications team, to which they did not immediately respond.

Democrats Voted In GOP Primaries To Block Trump Pick (Archive)

Democratic voters took part in the Republican primaries in Georgia to block a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump from winning, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

Registered Democrats in Georgia took advantage of a state election law allowing registered voters to vote in all party primaries regardless of their party affiliation to prevent Trump-endorsed candidates from making it on the general election ballot, reported the Associated Press (AP).

Republican Georgia Rep. Jody Hice announced he would not seek reelection in the House of Representatives, but would instead run for Georgia Secretary of State. Trump endorsed Hice in the Republican primary against incumbent Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a frequent target of Trump’s animus.

“Unlike the current Georgia Secretary of State, Jody leads out front with integrity. I have 100% confidence in Jody to fight for Free, Fair, and Secure Elections in Georgia, in line with our beloved U.S. Constitution. Jody will stop the Fraud and get honesty into our Elections!” Trump said in his endorsement.

University of Georgia staff member Diane Murray said she voted in the Republican primary last week despite not being a registered Republican because stopping a Trump-back candidate was paramount, according to the AP.

“I feel strongly that our democracy is at risk, and that people who are holding up the big lie, as we call it, and holding onto the former president are dangerous to democracy,” Murray told the AP.

“I don’t know I’ll do it again because of how I felt afterward,” she said, noting that voting for a Republican made her feel “icky,” according to the outlet.

Over 37,000 Georgia voters who voted in the Democratic primary in 2020 chose to vote in the May 24 Republican primary, reported the AP.

“Even taking into account the limited sample of early votes, the data reveal that crossover voters were consequential in defeating Trump’s hand-picked candidates for secretary of state and, to a lesser extent, governor,” the AP’s analysis of early voting records stated.

Raffensperger avoided a runoff election by clearing the 50% vote threshold by just over 27,000 votes, according to the outlet. Raffensperger beat Hice in the GOP primary for Georgia Secretary of State by 221,406 votes, according to the latest poll numbers.

And what is reported here is exactly why I like living in a state with closed primaries. You Dem, you get a Dem ticket. You Rep, you get a Rep ticket. You Ind, you get shit unless A) you've got an Ind candidate running, or B) you don't get shit.

Found that out in a hurry when I moved here 40 years ago and registered as Ind. Very next election, changed to registered Rep and stayed that way ever since.

The primaries are where general elections are won or lost. End of story. And I immediately got frustrated that my Ind registration meant I might as well beat my dick like it owed me money.

I don't agree with open primaries. Too many cross-over fucks can ruin the best candidate.

Off topic, but I thought I was the only one that thought this over the last few years. Every time Joe Biden tries to pull an ASMR as a trick to look “compassionate” or be serious even in a joking manner, it just looks way too weird to me.

The more that he does this, the more that it looks not only condescending, but also very bizarre. He reminds me of my father when he tries to be serious to get his point across, but the difference is that my old father is not the President of the United States. Plus, he’s a few years older than him, which is even more scary to think about.

Either way, I was wondering if anyone on this thread noticed this, since this video made me realized that I’m finally not the only one.

That’s exactly what’s bothered me about that. Thank you for placing what that is. I only really see people drop into that sort of raspy whisper when they’re making a threat or being deliberately brusque to try and get a point across. Don’t think it ever works when you do it to crowds though, or when the person doing it has always come across as a complete dipshit.

my part of California gas is now $6.05gal for cheap gas, Circle K, 7-11, etc.
And every summer gas goes up, so maybe my area will see $8gal gas
and if this happen, its gonna be great knowing that Trump pridicted $8gal gas if Biden became president, during the election debates with Joe Biden.
And my anti Trump blue collar family has mostley kept thier mouths shut on gas knowing its hurting them badly and don't want to admit they were damn wrong and used by the MSM just to hate Trump/Republicans and get Joe Biden into office

And the hate towards Joe Biden is organic
Think about it, its pretty damn huge machine supporting Biden and Dems versus how they/currently treated Trump and Republicans.
And few news orgnazations being negative towards Biden/dems
So, one would think the majority would out number the minority
But I don't see that here, something is fishy here and I think the reality is more people just don't like Biden and the Dems

I still don't get over the idea of a "Business Democrat" like they probably are the worst Democrats in the room.

They claim to love making money but also attach a lot of gay shit on top, to make themselves feel comfortable in making money.

A "Business Republican" is easy to understand but a "Business Democrat" lol.

It's like a "Hippy Republican" or something like that.

Oh well I hope the Business Democrats fail.
