President Joe Biden is tucking into his Thanksgiving feast thinking he’s the next big diplomat after getting Israel to agree to a temporary ceasefire. But let’s face it, folks, that victory is about as sturdy as a house of cards, especially once he’s back in Washington. The man’s got problems on all sides!
Sure, snagging the release of 50 hostages and a little time-out in Gaza might look good, but let’s not forget that the polls have been painting a different picture. Seems like the public might just be feeling a little nostalgic for the good ol’ days of President Donald Trump. Can we blame them? The man was a winner!
Now, as Biden heads back to the White House, he’s got a headache waiting for him. The left is breathing down his neck to put an end to the Gaza conflict, while he’s also got battles to fight over aid for Ukraine, government funding, and let’s not forget, a possible impeachment vote by House Republicans. Sounds like a real hoot, doesn’t it?
The Senate is aiming to cough up an extra $100 million in security aid for Ukraine, which would be the 51st handout since last year. But hold your horses! The Republicans are saying “not so fast” unless there are some big changes at the southern border. It’s like a game of political tug-of-war, and Biden’s stuck in the middle!
And just when you thought the drama was over, there’s more! Congress is sitting on its hands, trying to figure out how to fund the government for the rest of the year. You’d think they’d have this sorted out by now, wouldn’t you? But no, they’re playing a game of funding chicken, and the clock is ticking. Can Biden make it through this mess?
Oh, and as if things couldn’t get any crazier, there’s talk of impeachment swirling around Biden like a swarm of angry bees. The head honcho of the House Oversight Committee has slapped subpoenas on Biden’s son and brother, and they could be facing depositions in December. If the House Republicans get their way, there could be a vote on impeachment articles in early January. Talk about a lump of coal in Biden’s stocking!
Meanwhile, Biden’s popularity is sinking faster than the Titanic. His economic approval rating is barely scraping 38%, and the polls are shouting from the rooftops that Trump might just be the people’s choice in 2024. It’s like deja vu all over again!
And just to pile on the drama, the Democrats are turning on Biden, criticizing his handling of the Israel conflict and waving those shabby polling numbers in his face. They’re crying for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and they want it now! If the squad leader, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and Bernie Sanders (yes, that Bernie) have anything to say about it, Biden’s got himself a real mess to clean up.
So, as Biden kicks back for Thanksgiving and pats himself on the back for that “temporary peace” in the Middle East, he’d better belch out his thanks quickly. ‘Cause when he’s back in D.C., the knives will be out, and it’s gonna be one heck of a political food fight!
