The following was copied verbatim from an article @ DAILY KOS, which deals with the uniformly anti-Biden tone of media coverage pertaining to this week's events in Afghanistan. This is the concluding section, and clarifies the problems that Joe will still be dealing with, hopefully reinforced by the support of most Americans (despite what's being written or said on TV for the time being).
"The point of the game of Hot Potato is to not drop it, and pass it off to someone else before the music stops. Biden has turned the music off and put this particular potato down. But there’s bushels of other hot potatoes still in the air.
- We have a pandemic still threatening us — and a Republican Party/Right Wing Media determined to make it worse to score political points while blaming Democrats for the deaths and economic toll.
- We have a Republican Party actively seeking to undermine elections in this country to establish permanent minority rule.
- We have a right wing media machine that is tearing this country apart, always looking for new ways to divide us.
- We have a dysfunctional Congress with members of the President’s own party trying to derail his agenda because ‘reasons’.
- We have a huge portion of the American people convinced the last election was stolen, a number of them armed and ready to resort to violence to overturn it — and the Republican Party is encouraging them.
- Above all, we have a climate crisis that promises to make all of the above irrelevant if we don’t get a handle on it ASAP.
And that’s just the hot potatoes that come readily to mind. Who knows what else is rattling around there?
And to think it started with Freedom Fries..."
