Fox News is Very Upset that Biden Isn’t a Hyper-Psycho Drama Queen Like Trump"},"content":{"rendered":"

When Fox News isn’t complaining that President Biden is mentally incompetent (a diagnosis that the American people find more applicable to Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>), they are grousing about how he is an over zealous radical tyrant riding roughshod over conservative “values.”<\/em> How he can be both an addled wimp and an evil genius remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/p>\n

The whiners at Fox News don’t really care if their criticisms are true, or even if they make sense. The only thing that matters is that they have a rhetorical cudgel with which to beat up on Biden. And even when they have nothing, they will try to deploy that nothingness as a weapon. It’s a pathetic tactic that only exposes how vacant their political strategies are. And leading Fox News in the cognitive vacancy department is their Primetime host, Jesse Watters.<\/p>\n

On Friday evening Watters was clearly out of political spitballs. So he resorted to the hackery that the absence of scandal is scandalous. His harangue (video below)<\/em> was based on an article in Politico<\/a><\/strong>, a source usually regarded as “fake”<\/em> news by the Fox set. Except when they think they can spin it to their advantage. He began with an old and regularly recurring trope<\/a><\/strong> that Biden is “just boring,”<\/em> and elaborated saying that…<\/p>\n

“…he promised to be boring, and he’s doing everything he can to keep that pledge. And they’re not wrong. Joe doesn’t even schmooze these peeps in D.C. And for a Democrat, that is a sin. He spends almost every weekend in Delaware. The guy just loves his basement. Presidents are supposed to excite the Washington establishment, but Joe is doing the exact opposite.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently Watters believes that it’s the President’s job to “schmooze”<\/em> the elites in Washington. And if he isn’t doing that, he’s derelict in his duties. Although that standard was never in place for Trump, whose social interactions with anyone who wasn’t a slobbering sycophant were invariably disastrous and vulgar. What’s more, Watters complains that Biden was holed up in his basement. That, of course, is a routine right-wing lie by partisans who never cared about Trump spending hundreds of days (and millions of taxpayer dollars) at his own golf resorts.<\/p>\n

Watters also spoke of “exciting”<\/em> the Washington establishment as an official duty. He lamented the lack of “presidential sightings,” “black-tie banquets,”<\/em> and “Glamorous new aides, preferably with active social schedules and newsworthy romantic lives!”<\/em> Unfortunately, Biden preferred to waste his time with trivialities like managing a deadly pandemic, restoring the economy, and responding to the genocidal attack by Russia on Ukraine, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Watters was also disturbed that Biden didn’t attend the exclusive Gridiron Dinner this week. He sent Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo instead. But as Watters noted, it was a good thing that he passed, because many of the guests contracted COVID. For which Watters had another negative spin, saying – and virtually hoping – that “Eventually, Biden is going to catch COVID, it’s bound to happen and you’ll never see Biden or another party again.”<\/em> Watters seems to be laying the groundwork for his next manufactured scandal.<\/p>\n

What conservative crackpots like Watters mean when they talk about Biden being boring, is that he doesn’t excrete the same noxious hysteria and hostility that was the hallmark of the Trump era. Even Politico’s article conceded that it wasn’t so much Biden’s lack of substantive excitement, but rather engaging PR. “The majesty of the White House,”<\/em> Politico wrote, “the star power of the inner circle \u2014 these are tools that can be harnessed to charm decision-makers and narrative-writers.”<\/em> That’s true, but it was too nuanced for someone as shallow as Watters to wade through.<\/p>\n

Consequently, America is saddled with the asinine assertions of cretins like Watters who struggle to invent scandals where none exist. That’s why then end up accusing Biden of such atrocities as wearing a face mask<\/a><\/strong>, or riding a bike<\/a><\/strong>, or picking a dandelion for his wife<\/a><\/strong>, or eating ice cream…<\/p>\n
