Curley: Joe Biden, the pettiest president

President Biden, the man who was supposed to be the cure all for the country’s division and hatred, has taken pettiness to new heights over the last eight months.

Considering his predecessor’s penchant for late-night spite tweeting — that is saying something.

Despite titles like “empathizer-in-chief” that Joe earned from the mainstream media, the president’s disdain for the 74 million people who didn’t vote for him has become more obvious over the last few months.

And to think that in his inaugural address he said, ”The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a president for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.”

Like his promise to shut down the virus, Biden’s promise to be a leader for both sides of the political spectrum was a doozy.

To be fair, it would have been hard for him to pivot from the very division that helped him win the election. After all, the 78-year-old’s entire campaign was focused around how much he hated Donald Trump.

And thanks to America’s exceptionally dishonest press corps, the Orange Man Bad basement campaign worked.

But now we are eight months in to Jill’s Husband’s presidency, and not being Donald Trump is no longer cutting it for voters, as evidenced by Joe’s plummeting poll numbers.

Without Trump in charge, the current administration is desperate for a new distraction to keep America’s attention off of Joe’s declining mental acuity and his myriad of self-made disasters.

To put it simply: The administration needs a new villain.

Now, of course, the real object of Team Biden’s disaffection is the Neanderthals. Bidenworld hates the deplorable, credulous, unsophisticated boomer rubes.

But the Ivy League bureaucrats running the country know they have to nuance their disdain for us “ordinary Americans,” as Joe calls us.

Enter Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro once wrote that, “They don’t hate you because they hate Trump. They hate Trump because they hate you.”

This same logic applies to the governor of Florida. Biden does what he is instructed to do. He puts on his angry voice and scream-reads his teleprompter address about evil Republican governors and patriotic duties.

The president shakes his head in disbelief and pretends he is disappointed in DeSantis for letting Floridians make their own decisions.

Press secretary Jen Psaki eagerly takes digs at DeSantis on Twitter and in her press briefings.

She doesn’t shy away from showing off her famous smugness when discussing the Sunshine State.

Strangely, she is far more diplomatic and docile when discussing the Taliban.

The administration has set their aim on any public figures, politicians or news outlets who undermine their terrible policies and intolerant ideas.

Recently, it was announced that the Biden administration would start redistributing doses of Regeneron across the country, effectively cutting the amount of antibody shipments available to Florida.

Jen Psaki’s explanation for this change was that their “role as the government overseeing the entire country is to be equitable in how we distribute.”

A much simpler explanation is that Biden and his handlers are frustrated that Ron DeSantis, who has long been a vocal supporter of therapeutics, was seeing success with Regeneron.

I am old enough to remember when DeSantis was getting smeared in the media for his support of the therapeutic. Remember this misleading headline in the AP “DeSantis top donor invests in COVID drug governor promotes”?

That story was published in mid-August. How times have changed.

As former Trump adviser Stephen Miller wrote, “They literally went from ‘Florida is just handing out the voodoo drugs’ to ‘Why is Florida hoarding all the voodoo drugs.’”

Now because cases in Florida are falling, President Petty has to step in and do what he does best: mess up a good thing.

Anyone who proves Joe Biden wrong is punished.

It’s the same reason why on Friday the administration implemented a two-week flight restriction over Del Rio, Texas, that grounded Fox News’s drone.

The drone was capturing footage of thousands of illegal immigrants from Haiti flooding over the border into the United States.

The images proved a lot of Trump voters right. So Joe Biden had to put a stop to it — the drone, I mean; not the surge of illegals.

The best part? Joe managed to stop Fox News’s drone, admit his own “righteous” drone strike killed innocent civilians in Afghanistan and ruin America’s relationship with France all before heading back to the beach for the weekend!

Biden ran on restoring norms, eating ice cream and ushering in unity.

All he has done is make us less safe, eaten ice cream and sown more division in this country.

PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor once said while discussing Biden’s cabinet picks, “I was talking to a Democrat, who just said … it felt like ‘The Avengers.’”

If I had to pick a movie that this incompetent administration’s snobby attitudes, smallness and vindictiveness reminds me of, I think “Mean Girls” is more like it.
