In a conversation for Bill Clinton’s iHeart podcast Why Am I Telling You This?, the former president and Shonda Rhimes... got to talking about the polarized environment that has greeted the early days of Joe Biden’s presidency and the prospects of bipartisanship.
As Rhimes lamented that a problem is that the news “stopped being the news and started being a certain form of entertainment, almost like just more reality television,” Clinton suggested that Biden has handled the hyper partisan environment well.
“I think Biden has been almost pitch perfect in what he’s said and done,” Clinton said. “I think the problem he has is, first of all, the last election was very close. And I think that it’s now a performance art for the Democrats. If we can produce positive results that cross those divides by lifting everybody, giving everybody a chance, then we have a chance to psychologically change. It’s very hard to change the political standoff that exists today, because the Republicans believe it’s working for them, and that’s the big challenge.”
Clinton said that he thinks Biden has “made good decisions economically and good decisions on the staff and good decisions to have an inclusive policy economically and socially and politically. And you just have to keep reaching out to the Republicans, and at the moment they believe they have more to gain by making a deal than just saying no all the time, then he should show a little leg too, and they can maybe do something. But he’s been doing this a long time and he’s knows that they think they’re winning, even though he won, and even though he’s popular. So he can only get back to bipartisanship when they’re willing to do it.”

Clinton said that when he and his wife watched the show (Bridgerton), “Hillary just kept saying over and over again all night long, ‘That’s the most beautiful man I ever saw on television.’ I kept wanting him to get bumped off after a while (bold added). But it was a brilliant show, and the other characters were good. And I think we all learned something watching it.”

Biden pitch perfect?
Tone deaf much?
The only thing missing is for Demented Joe to bang an teenage intern under a desk in the Oval office.
Meme of the year.
>>the news “stopped being the news and started being a certain form of entertainment, almost like just more reality television,” Clinton suggested that Biden has handled the hyper partisan environment well.
They admit that “news” agencies are hyperpartisan. She does not identify which party they support or how the fascist government gives them scoops (like the FIB planting fake news in the Wash Poo to further their witchhunt of Donald Trump, or some whore at some newspaper who slept with several government officials so she could get some news scoops).
At least Cap Pike selflessly saved the lives of cadets and can beep.
Wow! That's more of a comment on Clinton's mental facilities than Joe performance.
Next election Joe will get 110% of the vote.
ALMOST PITCH PERFECT! I don’t think so:

Yes, starting with what must have been the worst inaugural address ever. Has any other President ever taken office with a speech maliciously slandering millions of his fellow citizens? Of course Biden’s stock in track has always been malicious slander.
If by that he means “addle brained figurehead that will sign what is put in front of him”, then yeah...
I think he meant ‘Bitch Perfect’.
Yep, Biden is Barack’s bitch and does what he is told.
Clinton is always careful to define his terms such as the meaning of “is”. Therefore, we must look at his use of “pitch perfect”.
pitch 1 (pĭch)
n.
1. Any of various thick, dark, sticky substances obtained from the distillation residue of coal tar, wood tar, or petroleum and used for waterproofing, roofing, caulking, and paving.
2. Any of various natural bitumens, such as mineral pitch or asphalt.
3. A resin derived from the sap of various coniferous trees, as the pines.
Well this comes from a scumbag who was far short of picture perfect.
The difference is that the Star Trek character had an active mind trapped inside a useless, vegetating body.
With Biden, nothing works.
Biden can read words written for him in a slow drawl that impresses shallow members of the press... and impresses manipulative former presidents. Not impressed.
Bill Clinton and Shonda Rhimes?! That’s a match made in hell and I would sooner deafen myself than listen.
