He's fighting covid with test kits and masks.  

I was in the Publix in Auburn today.  No chicken - zero, zilch.  Vast sections of the dairy were empty.  Hardly any cat litter.  No tortillas.  (We're working through my store list).  Limited quanties of dried pasta - and not many of the whole wheat I buy.  And the prices on everything is up.  

What I would like to know is when it is going to get better.  Joe and the Congress are insulted in the Beltway, worrying how they are going to break apart BBB to get it passed it chunks.  

Market is down, day after day, but Joe says that is not his repsonsibility - that is the Fed Chair's problem.  Inflation is not his fault.  Nothing is his fault.  

Unemployment is down, but then, the numbers don't reflect when people aren't looking for work anymore.   

But Joe is going to pass that Voting rights bill.

As evidenced by his so-called presser.  Wonder what powerful cocktail of drugs they gave him to tell so many easily identified lies.  Here is what has occurred to me between the actions of the WH and the press.

1.  Great reset on Covid - there is going to be a concerted effort over the coming months to try to convince us that everything they said and did about Covid, lockdowns, masks, vaccines, source of the engineered virus, treatments, etc. that was wrong, which is pretty much everything, they didn't say or do.  It will be stunningly cynical and blatantly obvious but they will prepeat it so often that the low information voter will fall for it.  Leftists will approve of course because they must because govt can never be wrong unless its being run by a Republican.

2.  Our election system - in a mere two years they will have pivoted from you are a wild eyed, conspiracy theorist, un-American insurrectionist if you question the results of the election to our system is hopelessly corrupted and must be controlled by the Federal government.  Their only proof for this is that they lost.  Ya see, 2016 was corrupted by the Russians (i.e., Shrillery lost), 2020 was pure as the wind driven snow (cause Dementia Joe won) and suddenly, magically, when they lose the House and Senate in November we will be back to mass alienation of black and Hispanic voters due to racist suppression.  And of course, despite them controlling the WH, Senate and House it will all be the fault of evil Republicans for blocking all those neat sounding election bills that federalize mass cheating and make voter ID illegal.  

3. Economy - this will not exactly be a pivot for them because it's been going on for the last year but they will continue to gaslight the American people and tell them to ignore their lying eyes and all is well.  And the lies and distortions will be breathtaking.  Just one fine example was the graph making the rounds that shows 9M lost jobs in 2020 and 6M jobs regained in 2021 with giving Biden credit.  This is where critical thinking is invaluable because I am actually surprised Goofy didn't post this graph.  So think about it, we lost 9M jobs in the middle of a pandemic because the govt shut down the economy and as we opened up we only recovered 6M of the 9M jobs lost due to the govt and they are giving Dementia Joe kudos for a job well done. Meanwhile they ignore out of control inflation, high gas prices, 4.5M leaving the work force, black and Hispanic unemployement through the roof, empty store shelves, etc.  So they will forget they told us inflation was transitory and ask us to ignore our own reality and accept theirs.

4. Foreign Affairs - when Russia invades Ukraine and China goes after Taiwan, after the Olympics are over of course, we will be told that there was nothing we could do to prevent this aggression that magically happened when we elected a senile, old fool run by left wing nuts and his incompetent, incomprehensible VP.  We will be told to ignore our lying eyes about the timing of all this and that it had nothing to do with these bad actors seeing a historic opportunity to make hay while we have a brain addled POTUS that was wrong on every major foreign policy issue even when he had all his faculties....such as they were.  Dementia Joe at his best made Forrest Gump look like a genious.

So, obviously, you agree that he has "outperformed"

In a warped way....yes.  He has far outperformed my expectation as to how bad he was going to be.  Even I didn't imagine he could basically recreate the failed presidency of Jimmy Carter in less than a year.

Last friday they just completely closed the pharmacy due to staffing issues. I was there on Monday, and the pharmacy had completely shut down from 1:30-3 for lunch and then there was a huge line snaking around the store for picking up precriptions.  

Every day, there are stories in the news about whole businesses shutting down because they can't be staffed or that the staff just decides to quit and walk out.  

Several stories I've seen has Biden blaming early retirements on staffing shortages.
