Brooks: Biden’s Poor Numbers on Ukraine Are ‘Measure of Partisanship
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 03/26/2022 3:07:35 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that President Joe Biden’s poor approval numbers on his handling of Ukraine are a reflection of partisanship and “we’re just not as resilient a country as we were when you could get beyond party labels.”

Host Judy Woodruff stated, “48% — by 11 points people disapprove of his handling, compared to 37% approve. But when you ask people what about the specifics of the administration’s policy, namely, should we be sending armed forces, 70% say no. That’s the president’s policy. Should we provide weapons? 72% say yes. That’s the president’s policy. Enforce the no-fly zone, 52%, small majority, say no. That’s the president’s policy. So, there is a contradiction, what do we make of all this?”

What to make of it? I guess Americans just don’t trust lunchbox Joe’s leadership ability, Judy.

Looks like they’re smarter than you thought.

“Host Judy Woodruff”

Still crazy after all these years... She was only in her mid forties on election night 1994 when she and Bernard Shaw nearly croaked on the air. Only the good die young.

Woodruff and Shaw stopped talking and sat in silence in the middle of election night.

It was a magical night. I thought that nothing could top it; then 2016 happened. 1994 was still pretty great. Which year was it when Carville out the wastebasket over his head? That was also one to remember.

Judy Woodruff can only be this dense on purpose. Biden’s weakness in Afghanistan, his slowness to act, his assurances that American wouldn’t intervene if Russia invaded, his feckless energy policies - all encouraged Vladimir Putin. Even my dead cat has more sense than poor old Judy.

People don't blindly believe their government and media anymore and he is sad about that. But he won't dare look in the mirror.

How about his policy of telling Zelenskyy he’d be welcomed into NATO? How about the operation of our extensive bioweapons program there? How about the billions of Biden family corruption spanning China, Russia, AND Ukraine, no doubt along with elsewhere?

Biden’s deterrence failed. Period. That’s why a plurality of people have little-to-no confidence in this husk that looks like Joe Biden. Biden may not be saying he’s going to commit the US military, but considering his presidency thus far are you willing to bet that he won’t ultimately do that?

David Brooks is a Democrat posing as a conservative.

Nothing he says should ever be taken seriously.

I hate democrats and think most of them are horrible delusional idiots. Is that what David Brooks is talking about when he talks about a lack of resiliency?

Democrats do shove quite a bit on Americans, the vast majority of whom disagree with. Is that partisanship too?

Host Judy Woodruff stated...

It doesn't matter what Judy Woodruff says.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV involved her. It was election night 1994 and Republicans had just taken back the House AND Senate in sweeping majorities. It was historic.

Judy Woodruff WEPT on camera asking "what's happening to our country?!"

I laughed hysterically and with great joy having worked a number of campaigns starting in 1993 and through the election in 1994, one of millions of people who worked our asses off diligently and with purpose to neuter the Clinton Presidency.

What happened? We took our country back. Fiscal responsibility was restored for the first time in decades, the budget was balanced and operated at a surplus. Welfare reform happened and things were going the right way. At least for awhile.

Back to what I wanted to say: Judy Woodruff is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the "news media" and why not a single word that exits any of their pie holes can be trusted to have even a smidgen of truth.

Worthless pieces of fecal matter, all of 'em. No exceptions.

Apologies for venting.

I'm struggling to remember that part: was it before or after Woodruff cried on camera asking "what's happening to our country?!"

No, it's racist, homophobic, white supremacist neo-nazi, killing the planet patriarchy imposed on the world by white men.

Please do catch up.

.....as we were when you could get beyond party labels

Leftists like to say that when they're in charge and catching hell from opinion polls. They're willing to start a war with Russia to pull up that demented old fool's numbers and keep the House and Senate. That's all they care about.

I took it as “Republicans won’t support Biden no matter what” and “we aren’t as resilient as a country as we used to be because people (ie those on the Right) won’t support the president even in a foreign policy situation. To which my response is “do you remember the Trump years”? “Do you remember how Democrats, The Corporate Media, Big Tech, the Deep state acted?” EFF NO, I will not support Biden. I’ll be every single last bit as nasty as y’all were. Screw you.
