Joe Biden is in Italy, where he met maskless with the Pope even though he knew his press secretary had potentially been exposed to Covid. She just tested positive. While there, our own “baffled dictator” used a famous reference to Benito Mussolini. Because why not?

Now I’m going to turn it over to Secretary Blinken to, uh, actually make sure the trains run on time.

Twitchy points out that when a Trump official (not Trump himself) used a “trains run on time” reference, the MSM flipped lids.
“When you are trying to convince America that its new leader is not a fascist,” New York Magazine’s Margaret Hartmann and Chas Danner suggested recently, “it’s best not to make any Mussolini references.”
Too late. That advice was directed at former Cincinnati mayor Ken Blackwell, a member of the Trump transition team. Blackwell just assured the Wall Street Journal that Reince Preibus, the RNC chair picked as White House chief of staff, would “utilize his personal connections with the speaker [Rep. Paul Ryan] and others, to make the trains run on time.”
They won’t have the same advice for Biden, who has locked people in their homes, forced vaccinations, lined D.C. with fences and guns, and whose party is trying to be rid of all the constitutional safeguards against dictatorial power, like the filibuster, the electoral college and the integrity of the Supreme Court.
Mussolini once said that “Every anarchist is a baffled dictator.” That may have been a dig at anarchists, like his digs at democracy, socialism, and every non-fascist form of governing (or not governing). But it sure makes a handy nickname for Biden, don’t you think?
