‘A bit of a superhero.’ Biden turns around presidency with recent successes that buoy Democrats ahead of midterms

WASHINGTON — President Biden looks supercharged.

On social media, his eyes glow Terminator-like in images depicting him as an all-powerful figure imposing his will on the nation. Known as “Dark Brandon,” the memes began as an ironic portrayal employing a nickname from the offensive, anti-Biden chant of “Let’s Go Brandon” embraced by former president Trump’s supporters.

But after a slew of recent legislative wins, Democrats have appropriated the imagery to celebrate a president suddenly rejuvenated heading toward the fall midterm elections after a nearly yearlong stretch in which he seemed more impotent than almighty...

“Over the last few months, it sure looks like he’s found his mojo again,” said Simon Rosenberg, president of the centrist Democratic think tank NDN...

LaTosha Brown, cofounder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, which works to empower Black voters, said she’s disappointed Biden hasn’t been able to push reforms of voting rights and criminal justice through Congress. But she is hesitant to be too critical for fear of undermining Biden in the face of what she said is the threat to democracy from Trump and congressional Republicans in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack...

“I think Joe Biden can now say, ‘I’ve been a successful president and I’ve left the country better than I found it,’ “ Rosenberg said. “I think up until very recently, our argument about that was not as strong.”

The only thing holding him up was the size of the bribes needed for the two democrat holdouts

Yes, delusional. They don’t realize when you lie, literally all the time, literally about everything, even low information voters get the drift. I don’t there were many grocery shoppers this weekend that were taken in by the “zero inflation” whopper.

“Successes”? “Wins”?

They got a couple pieces of stripped down legislation passed. So what? The public doesn’t give the slightest crap about that. What the public notices is crime is soaring, the border is out of control, foreign policy has been one disaster after another, the economy sucks and inflation is the worst its been in over 50 years.

That’s what the public is going to vote on. Any claims that resident Biden’s poll numbers have improved significantly are just propaganda and lies.

I spent the weekend with my College educated, married with no-kid, 47 year old, white sister in law.

She has always had TDS, but this weekend she blurted out “Ron Desantis is even worse”, so the delusion is spreading.

I asked “why?”

She stammered... “uh uh uh because he’s consertavive!”

I ask “what does that even mean?”

“He wants to ban abortion” is the first thing that comes to her mind.

“In Florida?” I ask. “Is abortion being banned in Florida?”

My 23 year sons pipes up “before Row vs. Wade, only 8 countries in the world allowed abortion after 8 weeks”

Which was the ramdom fact that quieted her irational responses this tome.

Mind. Numbed. Robots.

God
Bless your son. I have two sons, 26 and 21. I uparmored them from the earliest times. Neither has fallen to the virus of liberalism

In other news, Lassie is dead.

Her last week was her best.

Winter begins December 21st. Too late for midterms. We lose midterms, it’s over. Just two additional senators is all they need to get rid of the filibuster. Not a game.
