Republicans didn't cause Biden's predicament. They're just watching it.

House adrift,” the president is beset on all sides by irritations: his sagging poll numbers, the persistence of inflation, the public’s dissatisfaction with the state of the economy and, of course, the general opposition to his agenda from Republican lawmakers. But externalities aren’t the only conditions Biden is contending with. The president is also reportedly vexed by his own staff.

White House aides who ride in to clarify Joe Biden’s remarks aren’t doing so to serve their own interests. “He makes a clear and succinct statement — only to have aides rush to explain that he actually meant something else,” the NBC News dispatch read. “The so-called clean-up campaign, he has told advisers, undermines him and smothers the authenticity that fueled his rise. Worse, it feeds a Republican talking point that he’s not fully in command.”

Save for employing their powers of observation, Republicans have little to do with Biden’s predicament. White House aides and communications staffers who ride in to clarify and contextualize Biden’s remarks aren’t doing so to serve their own interests. Often, they’re not even doing so behind the president’s back.

For example, on Tuesday, the same day NBC News published its account of the president’s annoyance with his own staff, Biden’s byline graced

Whoa, breaking news, MSNBC said something with substance. Joe is hard to watch. Need a whistleblower from the West Wing to reveal his cognitive problems. Scary…

'The thankless task of fixing the economy while being blamed after every Republican administration intentionally tanks it.' There, I fixed it.

Just shut up president Biden is still cleaning trumps mess stop your BS

Congress and the executive branch are controlled by democrats. What more can republicans do? Yet you blame them.

Oh yeah, that $5 trillion dollar Tax Cut Cut was for free.

Yeah, if you didn't want to consider the Covid factor.

Somebody want to inform MSNBC it's July 4th weekend and some patriotic news about 🇺🇸 is a good idea to do? Or is the entire audience of MSNBC nothing but a bunch of blowviating Anti-American sympathizers?

Pushing this opinion again - WHY Posting it once was enough.

It looks like this baloney opinion piece is making the rounds again after being first published a month ago. Don't believe a word of it!!! We all know that Republicans and their corporate supporters HAVE CAUSED most of the problems we are dealing with in the U.S.!

That's always their strategy. To cause as much pain as possible while blaming the party in control instead of working on solutions. People are so stupid that they fall for it over and over and over.

Corporate profits are increasing by inflating prices. Republicans represent large corporations, so they definitely deserve blame.

Lol…. Is this projection? Democrats have had to clean up Republican messes for decades.

I’m done with your shit. Unfollowed and blocked.

THIS IS CLASSIC. WHEN YOUR ENEMY IS ... DIGGING A HOLE ... DON'T STOP HIM ... DIG ... joe biden ... KEEP ON A DIGGING .....!

stop. running. this. stupid. piece.

Fox? Is that you, you sly thing.

Marc E. Elias This is what I told the Post👇 “The way I view it, Republicans tried to subvert the 2020 election, but were clumsy and they are now learning from that where the pressure points and vulnerabilities are in our election systems, and refining their tactics.”

Where’s the liberal media, I hear so much about?

Wrong Headline from this June 3 Opinion article: The thankless task of cleaning up after Donald Trump!

This article is over a month old. And that's just the beginning of what's wrong with it.

What a crap article.

The only chance they have to win in 2022 and 2024 is to no do anything to give Americans relief from high prices. They know it but we also know it and will vote in November!!

They did by not backing sound bills to help Americans.

He is cleaning up after the crazy if trump crazy world

This article AGAIN lol the GOP has been known to leave a mess...

What is this Fox lite? Get outta here with this crap msnbc…

I hate these stupid opinion scripts you try and push off as factual news. Do you all even have a clue what the Supreme Court is doing to our nation?

They most certainly did. And it's Putin's greatest success. Yet still a failure.

A great platform that can make everybody smile, for my first time hearing about making money online, I thought is fake but when I try it I realise that is real so I won’t keep silent I need everyone to smile like me, Mike_Rosehart

Biden has led the US better than anyone else would’ve done under the circumstances - Democrat or Republican. So, an armchair critic like Noah Rothman is just a Biden-hater. Why he gets a voice on MSNBC is hard to understand.

The Status Quo is failing everyone

WTF unfollowing

What kinda crap is this?

Still retweeting this bullshit I see.

You feel the need to 'repost' an opinion piece that's a month old

biden's fine, it's americans that are suffering.

This article was made and posted months ago and now re posted....lazy journalism is why your are failing

Us Democracts didn't cause Trumps predicament,we are just watching it,cause his is much more intertaining.

LOL

Isn’t there an”MSNBC+” for this kind of shit?

WTH? Is this journalism?

maybe he should keep trying to reach across the aisle? Reach harder, sir! We need a stronger Republican party!

🤡🤡🤡

There is a reason I only watch a few of your programs. Propaganda.

Oh yeah... 🤣 127 days to the midterms, then we'll see who America thinks caused Buden's 'predicament'. .

Everyone knows that republicans ALWAYS screw up, particularly the economy, and democrats ALWAYS fix it. Yet when democrats can’t fix Republican disasters immediately, they’re still blamed. Gimme a break, get your clicks elsewhere.

Before I click on it can someone confirm MSNBC’s account hasn’t been hacked? 👀

'Didn't cause'? ?

Wtf

What a crock.

Yes, but they do anything to help the people out that's what they are elected to do to bring us out of trouble waters as they say.

Utter bullshit. Trump nominated these Justices, ignored a pandemic that decimated lives and the economy, and cuddled up to murderous dictators. He is exactly why we are here.

The actual story is that the GOP always sit on their hands while crises unfold, with no intention to help the country and the sole intention of using every single issue as a cudgel against Dems. They have no intention of governing, they have no plans, no ideas.

But they are actively trying to make his (actually the country's) 'predicament' worse. You left that out.

Shame on you. Do better.

I'm sorry... I thought you meant the thankless task for POTUS of cleaning up after the former guy almost destroyed our government for personal gain. 🤔

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 Five Pinocchios. Everyone has a crazy uncle but they shouldn’t be writing editorials for a major news network.

You meant cleaning up after Donald Trump

GOP have blocked every effort Biden has made As Mitch put it, he is going to do everything can to make sure Biden fails That means doing nothing It burns his cookies to not be in charge

Opinion: Cleaning up after Trump u meant to say.

Be better, . This is a trash article and you know it!

This isn’t even bullshit, this is horseshit.

bullshit

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, immediately springs to mind. Just because someone constructs inane bs into an opinion doesn't mean you have to print it. The mess in our government is the sole construct of the GOP.

DemocratsAreTheProblem

You have become an echo, a white noise made into words. Competing to be stupid?

Alright. It’s time to take off my feed for awhile if all you’re going to do is recycle old articles.

Biden is actively aiding the rightwing coup through his inaction.

Why is MSNBC publishing this crap!

Noah Rothman. I turn the channel when he’s on.

What utter crap. This was crap weeks ago when the fool wrote and it's even crappier now. I'm sick of the MSM pushing GOP lies.

WTAF is that ?

Not many valid points in this opinion piece from May. MSNBC is tossing out clickbait.

yes, they did why do you allow such lies?

Lazy %ss sh*t here! Written June 3, 2022, 4:38 AM CDT By Noah Rothman, MSNBC Opinion Columnist

Your wrong! Republicans have been Voting Against Every Bill That Would have Ended Inflation and lower gas Prices! Starting with the Build Back Better Act! ShareThisThread

Tell me you suck at journalism without telling me. You have ran this 7 damn times

Unfollowed

BS, every last bit of it.

Biden was a vote against Trump. Lets be honest. The Presidency is a 24-7 non stop weight of the world in a literal sense life sucking job This job and it’s duties are extreme and even the youngest of people seem to age twice as fast doing it. He’s 79 and should be retired

That's a funny way to 'Republicans are actively obstructing most attempts of the Biden administration to clean up Trump's disastrous term'

Good way to drive a narrative that is neither helpful or truthful. You were one of the last news formats I would turn on for specific shows. Now I don’t want to watch you at all.

DougJBalloon Hmmm... Just watching eh?

What a crock. Down vote. ⤵️⤵️ ⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️

What Biden predicament? He's a real president with problems left by a fake president. That's his predicament.

Good God author of this thing.

Courting the Proud Boys?

Everything happening now is all on the shoulders of the Republicans, who hate poor American people, Why do they hate

The Bernie shills throw in their two copper pieces.

Bullsh*t, they are the base cause of a number of factors. Why the hell are you giving them a pass?

The odds of grabbing some of that sweet Fox readership with this twat are slim to none, while the odds of losing those who had yet to twig on to what you're about, certainly better. By all means, have at.

They're blocking any solution to solving the problem they are part of the problem are you drunk?

You're helping white supremacist autocrats win elections with this, and you know that. They hate the press, they will come after you with the same ferocity they come after black men like me. You should help us and not them

Yes, Republicans DID cause this by voting against every bill Dems propose to address every issue: baby formula shortage, gas companies price gouging, gun safety laws, veterans benefits, lowering the cost of insulin. RepublicansAreTheProblem !!!

I see you’ve hired writers who left Fox News.

Fixed it for you.

This ridiculous headline earned you one less follower

What?

To all Biden critics: I don't care if you have to spoon-feed him; Biden is a kind, intelligent president who is doing just fine for America. Those of you worried about cleaning up after him...LOOK at the good he is doing for America. AND NO. BIDEN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INFLATION

Reminder. Republicans have introduced many laws and amendments to avoid all these crises. The Dems in Congress have blocked them

I don’t even want to know what’s in the BS article. If you help bring democracy down there will be no one to save you. Republicans will put you off the air and Dems will stand by and watch remembering this crap.

Despicable MSNBC garbage. This guy wrote this garbage to sell his book and MSNBC let him place this article as if he was a specialist in this. MSNBC is in decline and has only a few good commentators left. It's sad they are resorting to lies. Don't buy this book & change to CNN.

Whatever he had a mess when he came in from the virus and other things including republicans acting like a-holes which they started when trump was in office

Opinions are like A S S H O L E S Everybody’s got one

Strange that MSNBC has been doing this. All things lead to Trump.

Why do you keep repeating this? I've seen it so many times the last few days. Sheesh!

Fuck you This is a bullshit undermining article. So sick of the media.

What a crock of shit

Noah Rothman is a conservative commentator whose opinions are valueless on this topic. He’s just playing politics.

Really?

Holy shit. Another post of this. Unfollowed. WTF is wrong with you?

“The Thankless Job of Cleaning Up After Trump.” There, I fixed your headline. These issues are a direct result of the 2017 Tax “Reform”and the 2020 mishandled pandemic under TFG. Give President Biden some time and support to undo the damage.

Yes they did. The Republicans created this mess and are yelling at Biden for not cleaning up their mess fast enough

Something is getting cleaned up but it's by Joe Biden not the other way around. The last guy etc. left a trail of BS and corruption miles long and from the moment Biden assumed office he's had to deal with it along with TFG closing the pandemic office. You've got an agenda!

....wat

Drivel.

This is a load of 💩

Cover this...

My opinion differs. trump and those gop nazis did cause COVID-19, manufactured inflation, sedition, countries not trusting the USA, disinformation, etc. Yes I am very sorry to inform you that my opinion matters just as much as yours.

The level of idiocy involved in the decision to both write and print this piece. You have no biz judging Biden or anyone else. Ever. I hope you’re the first to lose your job when your profession sees what authoritarianism looks like. Enjoy the 1st Amendment while you have it

WTF is this garbage?

wat are these shit pieces bro the jan 6th trial got them paying for articles like this ?

People I boycott: (No particular order) Chuck Todd Dana Bash Andrea Mitchell John King Ari Melber (he annoys me more than anything) Wolf Blitzer Jake Tapper I feel like I’m missing someone

What planet do you live on? I’ve given up on American MSM. You’re all a failure. I watched the hearings on The Guardian’s stream.

Noah Rothman, a conservative snarky pundit. Ignore him.

Sounding like FoxNews

will noahcrothman talk about how much money Trump and the GOP spent under the Trump admin? or his trade policies? etc

Bull shit

Geez, you're on the side of authoritarianism, who knew

What a load pf BS! U don't want anyone to watch do u 🤬

Who at MSNBC asked for Noah Rothman’s opinion?

I've stopped watching msnbc and am much better for it...w/these kind of BS they call 'news'

Dear MSNBC

Uh, no. I'd swear this was written by Mrs. Greenspan. I get that the GOP doesn't want to cooperate with Biden. But sabatoging him by refusing to pass bills that are good for the country is bs. Biden has made manymistakes. But I want to see a bar chart of his compared to DFG's.

Oh that headline is disappointing.

Automatic one week ban on my tv.

My lord. Republicans literally staged a coup to keep Biden out of office. Before that Trump with the help of Republicans were destroying our government from within. But yes, while Biden tries to save our Democracy Republicans are just standing by & watching. We won't forget that.

OPINION column

Well, that's just garbage. Are your eyes open? You should be paying attention to so many other things. Like the treason committed by the last administration. And the GOP sabotage of Biden and his entire agenda that they admit to doing.

Pam0911pam Sorry,, can't fix stupid,, guess I'll just watch

When the AP is putting out reports explaining he has mental problems I think it is time to not blame everything on republicans and maybe look inward.

What the heck - NoahCRothman is a conservative political commentator. No one wants to read his dribble.

Strong economy under Trump, low unemployment, low prices and inflation, secure borders, peace w adversaries by strength & in MidEast, ISIS defeated, defends unborn, energy sufficient, supports law enforcement, Operation Warp Speed, patriotic ed. Yeah that was bad for the country.

Bullshit.

That is nowhere near true.

What is this bullshit! Is Fox writing your headlines?!? C’mon people!

You m you show your true face again. Well done .. But.. It's no surprise. You've always were that kind of network

That is what the dem left do best and most, twist, warp, distort, deflect and avert, and falsely accuse and blame others of what they do and cause.

I’m turning off MSNBC until you start acting like journalist instead of stenographers for the Republicans.

WTF is this? Fox News fired some journalists who ended up at MSNBC?

What are they going to do ? Have another Insurrection?

msnbc You are my news source…this article will drive me and others away from you! Stop with the negative reporting!!!

This is a clear case of MSNBC championing (almost imitating) FOXNews journalism. A little nod to their true demographic out there. indirectly of course.

WTF is Noah Rothman and why are you spreading his conservative gas lighting trash Educate him, the 'predicament' was created by tfg! It's tfg's trash that is being cleaned up!

Really ?They stop every good bill that would help the American people, then blame Biden. Do you have eyes to see because this sounds blind.

Ok MSNBC, tell us how Biden caused whatever predicament u are talking about.

you can do better. RepublicansAreTheProblem RepublicansCausedThisMess

Did he poop his pants again?

Seriously ?

Economy Covid will just disappear in 15 Days

Or he's just a failure not vetted by the media

Yeah, I tend to believe the thankless task is cleaning up after TFG. It's the difference between wiping up a soda spill and coming back after a hurricane.

WTF? Republicans aren’t cleaning up after Biden, that’s the problem, they’re doing nothing for the American people.

WTF has happened to you? RepublicansAreTheProblem They absolutely caused America’s problems. If Comcast thinks Fox viewers are going to switch, you’re wrong. But real Americans will stop watching.

Caught Biden on the Kimmel show. Why can't he complete a sentence? Trump slurred 1 word 1 time and you couldn't stop talking about his mental decline and how because of that, he needed to be removed from office.

Noah Rothman, a Conservative hack, as objective as a 17 year old boy in a brothel. It’s obscene for MSNBC to hire Rothman to author an allegedly objective article about the Biden Whitehouse. Rothman spent 4 years supporting Trump, the 1/6 Insurrectionist. MSNBC is a disgrace.

Extremism is the Progressives calling for people to show up at Supreme Court Justices homes and the White House not speaking out against the Progressives calling for it.Insurrection is ok when you have a letter D next to your name? Democrat party is toast

The Trump tariffs on imports, a Trillion dollar tax break for corporations, a screwed up response to covid 19 that killed a million Americans, just might have a little to do with a poor economy. Gas prices are a global commododity & subject to factors beyond Bidens control.

Disgraceful!

Oh but according to you he is great ,

Noah don’t care about your supposed opinion.

A June 3rd article, still running 1 week later and 2 times in between, disparaging POTUS, looks desperate. Obviously a hater of President Biden and his staff, should be more current with its 'news.'

'the thankless task of cleaning up after Joe Biden'? Really? Obama had to clean up the mess left by Bush. Biden has to clean up the mess left by Trump. GOP only makes messes. They can't pass anything that isn't a tax cut for millionaires or some gun lover's bill! Some 'opinion'!

New Quinnipiac poll out yesterday has Joe's job approval rating at 33%.

Tell us one Policy they’ve proposed…

GOP spending and stonewalling has absolutely caused put us where we are.

With popcorn 🍿

What the hell are you talking about!! Biden has spent his entire presidency cleaning up after THEM, while they vote down bills that would help him. They don’t give a damn about America, they just want to have power&win the midterms and destroy America and you’re helping.

SusanSnay Idiots

Um, MSNBC... you know you're not required to publish right wing propaganda, right? That's really not a part of responsible journalism. Even if the Morning Joe green room tells you otherwise.

Is this Fox News Wow…..MSNBC is becoming unwatchable.

Whatever 'mess' you're referring to hardly compares to the cluster fvk left by the trump criminal enterprise. So stop wringing your hands in delight. Those of us not in the treasonous trump cult LOVE JOE BIDEN. We love his devotion to America, his family, and us, too.

And the media fuels it constantly!

An opinion.😒🙄FO!

BS

Oh ok, wow MSNBC a you have gone crazy you care more about ratings and what the twice impeached disgraced former 🍊🤡

Biden is cleaning up after a pussygrabbin Russian...it's hard work

He is paid to be this way. A fixture on Morning Joe.

Kinda like what Rudy did on 911... You ignored the report on first attack in New York. Without the proper communication equipment, the First Responders were cut off from each other. 5k plus died in part due to your inability to govern. You have to live with that.

Where the hell was Noah Rothman during the 4 year carnage trump trump unleashed on us. This article is disgusting.

Republicans caused the lack of confidence. They spent 4 years lining their own pockets, lying to ppl, and now they spread propaganda about Biden being senile, corrupt, and incompetent. The bigger question is why is MSNBC helping?

I would rather read and hear Biden’s occasional gaffe than the vile, cruel, racists comments from previous administration.

I can't believe how many of you liberals are so stupid that you continue to support Biden even though he is making every single one of us broke while trying to get us into WW3. Last quarter he literally had the WORST GDP drop in a non recession quarter IN HISTORY. Wake up people

Seriously msnbc?

Not interested in your opinion that holds no value. If you are using these serious issues for we the people to grandstand your position, you are part of the problem.

Taken two years to clean up the mess the prior Republican left the country in!! It happens EVERY time! Dems fix it GOP destroy it!! Debt, jobs etc!!

Republicans are fighting gun control legislation!! while they're using VIOLENT rhetoric to cause a mother fuckin CIVIL WAR IS that the goal of MSNBC? To cause civil war!? R scare tactic politics cause mass paranoid delusions Mass murderers quote fox not Dems

WTF is wrong with you ? Seriously, WFT is this absolute garbage?
