Yeah sure, according to that theory Putin moved on Crimea because he perceived Obama to be such a fierce adversary that he had to make his move before massive resistance set in from the Americans. Heh, try again. Cakewalk by the Russians enabled by the presence of a weak American president. Ditto for the situation in Ukraine. The Chinese obviously see that Biden has the welcome mat out for Taiwan as well, especially since the Americans are bogged down in Biden's Ukraine disaster resulting from his perceived and actual weakness.

Republicans are stacking in potential VP candidates from South Carolina...ie Haley and Tim Scott. That poses quite a dilemma for Biden/Jim Clyburn if, for example, Tim Scott is the vp candidate and Biden-Clyburn are planning on owning South Carolina again. They will have to work pretty hard this time around- unlike last time- where Basement Biden just got Clyburn to designate Joe as the "black candidate."
China probably, salivating at attacking Taiwan now. They know that since, Joe Biden is expending a lot of US military weapons stocks and ammo in Ukraine, if the US were to get into a war with China, they will run out of ammo and heavy weapons. China in contrast has been building up its war material weapons and ammo, preparing for war. That is the reality. Even Germany now, is trying to ramp up production of its tanks. With the lag time per NATO being 1.5 years to re-stock its ammo and weapons, the war will be long over when it does get filled.
Yes, Joe's projected and actual weakness put down the welcome mat for both Russian and Chinese invasions. Ukraine in progress. China queuing up.
Speaking of the 2024 election/s: Here is where you start hearing more about Adam Schitt than you ever wanted to hear. Regular viewers will recall that I have said many times over the years that many of these politicians are like like the fly on your potato salad at the picnic that you can't get rid of. Just when you think you nailed the mother............BZZZZZZ...zzz.zz Expect Adam Schitt to start buzzing bigtime as if he ever shuts his hole anyway. Frigging Pelosi has no class. She came out two weeks ago and said she is supporting Adam Schitt in 2024 even though Feinstein had not even announced her plans but Pelosi knew she was in process. What a bitch.

In case the obvious has not been stated, I will. All of the loose talk about Buttigieg running in 2024 are headed nowhere now, as he continues to add to his non-performance record. Port of LA backlog scenario: Buttigieg totally, totally missing in action. Fellow Biden administration officials complained that he could not even be located. Then eventually Buttigieg informed them that he was out on three months parental leave and "being a parent is working too." Delta Airline airport clusterfuck scenario: Buttigieg not to be found. Now the Palestine Ohio clusterfuck: Buttigieg no-showed. Almost went to a meeting. Then bailed out due to safety concerns. And I dont mean from the pollution. He did blame their inability to do anything on the Trump administration from afar. So that is a response of sorts. I guess. Good luck taking that shtick out on the road Booty Boy.
Starting to get prickly out there a little bit. Ditto for the Dems. Give it a month. Nikki just poached Trump's ad firm. Trump is going to need an exceptionally good ad firm this time around because he no longer has Fox News promoting him and covering all his rallies as last time. Not sure how he does it without Fox- but his campaign, not mine. Dems don't snicker too much just yet. Biden has a full blown version of that same dilemma going too. Several of the large papers, The LA Times, the Washington Post and the New York Times have already bailed on him, and he cannot count yet on CNN promoting him in the end. Nor MSNBC. They will stand up for him as long as he is all they have. Just as they religiously stood up for Hillary and then dumped her when a prettier face came along. Obama. Trump parts with TV ad maker as firm’s partner goes to Haley Jamestown Associates made ads for Trump in 2016 and 2020 — but not 2024. ================================================= One of the firm’s partners has decided to work with a Trump rival in 2024: Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the United Nations who launched her presidential bid on Wednesday. The former president’s campaign, in turn, has decided that it would not renew its relationship with Jamestown, which crafted commercials for Trump during the 2016 and 2020 elections. Trump’s team also used the firm after he left the White House. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/15/trump-splits-with-ad-maker-haley-00083103
