Yesterday President Biden went to the border on a trip that was only announced after the news broke that Donald Trump would also be visiting the border (what leadership!). The two ended up being in Texas on the same day.
The optic on Biden's part was one of a strong leader taking charge. Wait, no it wasn't:

More proof that the president who's sharp and full of vim and vigor only exists behind closed doors. Biden looked like an octogenarian retiree at The Villages looking for an ice cream truck.
What's even more embarrassing and pathetic is now that the border issue has imploded on Biden, they're trying to blame Trump:
President Biden to Donald Trump: "Join me or I'll join you in telling the Congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. We can do it together....So, instead of playing politics, why don't we just get together and get it done." pic.twitter.com/gYLRxoXoOJ

"Instead of playing politics," he says while playing politics.

As Townhall's Guy Benson pointed out, at least the Biden WH can rely on the media to help run cover for a mess this administration intentionally created on day one wiping away the measures that were keeping for border more secure:
Current guy who immediately abandoned previous guy’s policies — resulting in record-shattering 10M illegal crossings in 3 yrs — tries to blame previous guy for the crisis he himself caused.

Ex-Obama adviser Jim Messina, who probably had one of the creepiest photos in recent memory when hawking Obamacare, also hopes everybody's stupid:
Any coverage of Trump's trip to the border today that doesn't include his admissions (plural) that he killed the strongest border security bill in our lifetime is malpractice. https://t.co/ZarlOjaPBy

It’s surreal that they’re blaming somebody who hasn’t held political office for over three years for something that happened because of Biden’s day-one actions and there are so many people dumb enough to buy it.
There are two reasons and two reasons only for why the border has been successfully overrun: "Joe" and "Biden."
Before taking office, Biden instructed people to "immediately surge to the border" because it would be open under his administration:
Then, hours after taking office, Biden got rid of Trump's measures that were keeping the border more secure and then DHS Secretary Mayorkas bragged about it:Remember when Mayorkas bragged about ending nearly all of Trump's immigration policies in 2021....

"We have rescinded so many Trump immigration policies, it would take so much time to list them!"

By the way, in the title of this story I said Biden trying to blame Trump for his intentional border disaster was "almost" the most shameless thing ever said by somebody in this administration, because this might be THE most shameless:
Holy shlit

"Lower than pond scum" doesn't begin to describe this bunch that currently occupies the White House.
This is without a doubt the worst, most disastrous presidency in decades and decades, if not in all of U.S. history. The negative effects will be felt for a long time.
Despite all this, have a good weekend everybody!
