Looks like Biden is removing the economy as an issue in ’24 (3 minutes)

We are all seeing next year’s campaign for president starting to play out in the media already. MAGA are throwing all sorts of innuendo, misleads and bald-faced lies that the US media repeats over and over again with little true analysis if MAGA statement bear any resemblance to reality. 

Since most media in this country from Twitter to Facebook to TV, radio, magazines and newspapers is owned by MAGA acolytes we can expect coverage of the upcoming election to be highly slanted in favor of MAGA. 

This past week with the wall-to-wall coverage of Hunter Biden was a great example. This may come as a surprise to many casual consumers of news, but Hunter Biden is not an elected official. Many of the crimes he has been accused of he was never charged with because years of investigations turned up nothing. Yet to watch TV or catch news on the internet you would think that Hunter Biden was the worst criminal the nation ever produced.

Interestingly we have not heard a peep about the children of Donald Trump even though they were government employees who were able to bring in billions in sales and loans while working for our government. Somehow this seldom gets any play on MAGA media.

The MAGA Party continues to run up trial balloons on issues. It kind of looks to me like one they will stick with is a new dressing on one of their tried and true winners: Hate. Hate is about all they have these days. Name one policy that MAGA candidates are running on. What little policy they do espouse, behind it is hate for some group or progressive policy.

So right now it is looking like their flaming hate will be manifest in a campaign of “Biden is getting old! If he dies look who will be President!” Then all the extreme right wingers in this country who have been well schooled on who to hate in this country can fill the blank with what slur they have for VP Kamala Harris.

“News” outlets like Fox News, Sinclair TV stations, right wing talk radio and the highly concentrated newspaper industry has already begun an assault on the Vice President. Expect this assault to reach a crescendo as we move into the new year.

We already have reports being touted that Harris is the most disliked Vice-President ever. I find that hard to believe having just recently survived MAGA VP Mike Pence and hugely disliked Dick Cheney. My recollection is that few public figures were ever as disliked (hated) the way Dick Cheney was. His final polling numbers didn’t even break into double figures. 

But right now the early effort is already on to turn Kamala Harris into a villain. You can expect an extra heaping helping of lies, followed by a whisper of ‘What if Biden dies?’ Remember that somehow the right wing echo chamber and media monopoly has to divert the public from the very well known fact of the crimes that the MAGA presumptive nominee committed in public and in many cases admitted to. That is a lot of diversion.

So far President Biden has been an exemplary president. He is also turning the way America functions around. The economy is no longer in the hands of a few billionaires and their bought and paid for lackeys in the MAGA party. Biden has also returned us to an economy that as he says is “growing from the bottom up and the middle out.”

After having one of the worst possible scenarios ever in the US by his predecessor, Biden tamed the pandemic, dragged the country from a near depression while taming inflation and on the foreign front put NATO back together and then some just in time to forestall an aggressive Russia in Ukraine.

Kamala Harris has been instrumental in helping devise and implement all these policies. She has also taken a lead role in calming the border situation which is far better than it ever was under Trump. Now if we could just get MAGAs in congress to do something to create stable policies for the border we could have some stable to work from.

Kamala Harris has and incredible mind and a winning personality. Funny that MAGAs would target someone like her, but hate is all they have .

In what has to be one of the most ludicrous moves ever in congress, MAGA congress members are working up an impeachment bill on President Biden. (Did anyone tell them if they happened to succeed the person they hate so much will be president?) What “high crimes and misdemeanors. Has President Biden committed? My guess is that it is because he is a better president than Tump, or Junior Bush, or senior Bush, Reagan or Nixon.

MAGA congress members are even going to try to expunge Trump two impeachments. Do they think we will forget. Expect Iowa’s pathetic MAGA congress members to vote in favor of this. Also expect them to vote to impeach Biden if it comes up. Then next year Trump can claim he was never impeached, while they can claim Biden was impeached.  Blackis white and night is day.

Finally remember that Trump is only running to keep his criminal butt out of jail.
