“It’s more like D-Day” – THIS is the state of journalism for the next four years

by The Right Scoop

The Washington Post released a new article this morning on how Joe Biden is addressing an ‘array of crises’ as he finds himself in a ‘wartime’ footing:

President Biden raced Thursday to show he was addressing the array of crises awaiting him on his first day in office, issuing executive orders aimed at combating the coronavirus and preparing measures to take on the struggling economy and other problems.

Biden and his team found themselves immediately on what the president called a “wartime” footing, describing fighting the coronavirus as “a national emergency.” Against an already calamitous backdrop of a pandemic that has left more than 408,000 Americans dead, an additional 900,000 people filed new unemployment claims last week, underlining a devastated job market.

That’s how it begins.

But this quote in the article from Rahm Emanuel takes the cake:

Former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel — who famously quipped about the Great Recession’s financial collapse that “you never want a serious crisis to go to waste” — said that while the individual crises facing Biden faces are not unprecedented, the combination is unlike anything in modern history.

“Lincoln had the Civil War, Wilson had the pandemic, Roosevelt had the Depression, Kennedy had the height of the Cold War, and Johnson had unprecedented civil and social strife,” Emanuel said. “Biden has D, all of the above.”

As does this one from a close adviser to Biden:

“We’re going into war — but it wasn’t a surprise attack. This isn’t Pearl Harbor.c,” said Ted Kaufman, a close Biden adviser who led the transition. “This is the first days of the battle, and if you have really, really good people you can fight on all the fronts.”

Oh good grief, that’s absurd. President Trump has left Biden in a very good position, with the vaccine rollout going in full force.

Hell, even the Washington Post admits as much in this same article:

Biden criticized Trump’s vaccine rollout as “a dismal failure” and called his own goal of administering 100 million vaccine doses within 100 days “one of the greatest operational challenges our nation has ever undertaken.”

But averaging 1 million doses a day appears to be a goal that is already being surpassed. The average number of vaccines administered over the past week was about 936,000, according to a Washington Post tally using data from state reports and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On Thursday, the number was 1,057,369.

Biden bristled on Thursday when asked whether his goal was ambitious enough. “When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible,” he said. “Come on, give me a break, man.”

That’s as critical as they got on Biden, but at least they said that.

But it proves that even Biden’s plans aren’t for the vaccine rollout is just basically doing what Trump had already done. Because it worked!

As far as the so-called ‘depression’, the economy was always going to take a while to come back, especially when governors are continuing stringent lockdowns. That’s the reason why there are still so many filing unemployment claims, because governors and local officials aren’t letting people work!

And the whole Cold War, civil strife and D-Day analogies are just garbage. There is no cold war. The only civil strife we are really seeing these days is Biden’s favorite group Antifa. And D-Day? C’mon man, give me a break.

Here’s a few responses to this garbage:
