Biden Had It Easy, But Chose to Set Everything on Fire Anyway
By: Ben Shapiro
Biden is such an idiot. Mere words can not describe the true depths of depravity of the man. Sleepy pervert Joe. He’s now turned radical socialist secular progressive Joe. He’s to our nation what Antifa and BLM are to the local economy where they control things, a total arsonist and domestic terrorist. Thank God for the sanity of red state governors and attorney’s general who at least somewhat mitigate the impacts of the arsonist in chief.

Ben Shapiro: Biden Had It Easy, But Chose to Set Everything on Fire Anyway
Joe Biden is the luckiest man to ever assume the presidency.
He succeeded an unpopular figure. He was inaugurated just two weeks after the dramatic storming of the U.S. Capitol by extremist Donald Trump supporters seeking to stop the certification of the 2020 election, which was also the beginning of the year after widespread race riots. He inherited COVID-19 vaccines and a vaccine rollout plan, and could rightly expect to ride the tsunami of natural economic recovery that was predicted for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic; he inherited a series of historic Middle Eastern peace deals.
In other words, President Biden had it easy. All he had to do was nothing. He could expect a new era of good feelings emerging from a tumultuous time. He could expect a booming economy, a more peaceful Middle East, a solution to the pandemic. All he had to do was calm the waters.
This, after all, was what Americans voted for: not a transformational figure or a figure of radical change but a stodgy, supposedly empathetic grandfather figure who could barely be bothered to leave his basement for the entirety of the presidential campaign. Normalcy could be restored by installing a nearly inanimate object as president.
Instead, Biden has served as a facade for the most radical administration in modern American history. And America is already paying the price.
In his first few months in office, Biden rammed through a $1.9 trillion spending package that completely rewrote the bargain between individuals and the state, shifting the incentive structure for people to go back to work. He simultaneously proposed another $4 trillion in spending — to go along with the annual $4 trillion budget. The result: skyrocketing inflation in commodities, along with dramatic labor shortages resulting in an April shortfall of three-quarters of a million new jobs.
Simultaneously, he downplayed the efficacy of a vaccine he insisted was the key to ending the pandemic. His Food and Drug Administration pressed pause on a highly successful vaccine based on six cases of blood clots; his Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rewrote its school reopening guidelines, apparently with input from the teachers unions. He wore a mask publicly despite being vaccinated, despite being outdoors, despite being indoors with others who had been vaccinated — and declared such activity "patriotic." The result: widespread vaccine hesitancy and a tremendously uneven national reopening, with red states going back to normal and blue states continuing nonsensical shutdowns.
He ramped up the rhetoric with regard to racial polarization, injecting the terms "anti-racist" and "equity" into every element of federal policy, supplanting meritocracy and individual rights with equality of outcome and outright discrimination. The result: undercutting police forces nationally, resulting in a continuing crime wave in America's biggest cities.
And he abandoned the Trump administration's Middle East policy, refunding the Palestinians with money that will obviously go to terrorist groups and defy the Taylor Force Act, making concessions to the Iranian terror regime, and pressuring Israel. The result: riots in Jerusalem, chaos on the Temple Mount and an increase in regional Iranian aggression.
We're only four months into Biden's presidency. He's going for broke: He wants his legacy, and if that legacy comes at the cost of the economy, the police, and international stability, so be it. If the conflagration we've seen thus far is any indicator, Biden won't leave a lot standing when he's done.

Oh what short term memories some dumb shit conservatives have. The $1.9 trillion was desperately needed by businesses and middle and low income Americans who had been out of work for months, the pandemic was no where near over and there was a massive risk of it spiking again just before we could get the majority vaccinated. Even now we have only 1/3rd vaccinated so this is not over. Those States that followed the guidelines like CA have seen the best results.
" In dramatic turnaround, California now has the lowest coronavirus case rate in the U.S ."
Continuing to wear a mask was what a leader would do while the CDC had yet to recommend their removal which was just yesterday. Recognizing the blatant systemic racism that still infects this nation is what a responsible leader would do, not just sweeping it under the carpet as the bigots, white supremacists and their fellow conservative Republicans wished would happen. And there is ZERO evidence that restoring the funding to Palestinian refuges is going to terrorists, that is pure conjecture.
And the proposed $4 trillion in infrastructure funding is exactly what our nation needs at this critical time when we both desperately need repaired/replaced infrastructure and jobs killing two birds with one stone. The naysayers are all the same dipshits who championed Trump giving trillions away in massive tax breaks for corporations and the super rich which did almost nothing for our economy.
And claiming Biden had it easy is just plain ridiculous, he inherited a pandemic with thousands of Americans dying daily and a broken vaccine dispersal system that, while creating the vaccine in significant numbers was a success, getting it into the arms of Americans was a complete failure. And he inherited one of the most politically and racially divided periods in the last 60 years of American history, as well as a broken immigration system and hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who have been desperately trying to come to the US and believed a new administration not run by bigots will provide a more likely chance for their survival so they have surged at our southern border creating another crisis. To claim he's got it easy is to be completely unaware of the facts. He's done a pretty damn good job so far and I for one wish him well and hope he's able to cool down the rhetoric that was at volcanic levels after four years of a bigoted lying sexual predator at the helm.
It's not about short term memories. It's about smearing propaganda on the walls and sniffing their own farts.
Things are all good on my end. Vaccine is pushing the virus back, don’t give a shit about Israel or the Palestinians, have our electric cars on the way so not worried about gas, and my investment accounts are doing just fine. Now of that infrastructure package can go through I will be much happier, but we will see. Either way 2021 has been a pretty good year for me.
