Americans now view Pres. Biden as more “moderate” than most first term presidents, providing a political strength that is repelling common conservative attacks. Obama campaign veteran Chai Komanduri talks to MSNBC’s Ari Melber about the key factors behind this trend, and Komanduri argues cultural and racial dynamics give Biden more room than Pres. Obama had. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ).

Two best things I’ve come across in the comments: ‘Donny’s got a sugar Vladdy’ (on his relationship with Putin) and this one on Mitch McConnell referring to him as ‘Kentucky’s Bribed Chicken’
@Danielle Hartnell I’ll check it out just cause I’m curious about this Chris Chappell dude but they are run by the same people as Epoch Times. Chinese-Americans who realized they could hop on the Fox bandwagon and profit off the right wing grifters, more or less.
But since I don’t believe it’s necessarily wise to ban/never watch media you don’t agree with and even media that is the definition of propaganda, like I said, I’ll watch. I think it’s important to be aware of the spectrum of opinions, so to speak. If you’re interested in expanding your own sources and views, I encourage you to watch The Damage Report, Some More News, and ESPECIALLY Beau of the Fifth Column for unbiased and intelligent info
@Dezzilio Devellini Thanks. I’m not sure what’s so funny about “LOL :-)” but, if it tickled your funny bone, I’m glad you got a laugh out of it. 🙂
@Danielle Hartnell Keep believing that. I’m sure Putin appreciates your support while continuing to sabotage your country from the inside out. At least the FBI, Homeland Security, as well as the other US intelligence services know better. Just because his favourite bum boy is no longer president doesn’t mean he gave up on pulling the strings behind the Rethuglican party.
@Nuclear Christian 2 Thessalonians 2:9. 9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in unrighteousness
@Leonie Romanes The word was suppose to be “publically”, but its funny, because it is biblical as well: Isaiah 3:9. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
When you look at sick Mitch he is a petty to his self, I know some people just look at him and laugh, He is sick in there
He may look sick but he is going outlive everyone!
Maude – Not sure what it means but Mitch’s real problem is his attitude.
“100%” anti Obama, Biden, Democrats, etc. Might be good to be FOR something. Like the people of the country.
@Gary Miller but she has the approval of We The People
He has the face he deserves.
I don’t consider him laughable.
More like highly toxic.
Mitch and the GOP need to get some new material!!!
@Andy Hutchinson so I will ask you agen how are democrats fascist if that is a right wing thing?
@Andy Hutchinson … Hitler was a cruel crybaby of a fascist, right wing hypocrite with a Jewish mother. His talent was getting people like you scared and violent. No, he wasn’t a tree hugger but he was your loser brother.
The new material would be a casket for the GOP funeral.
@Andy Hutchinson do you understand the meaning of fascist? Obviously not…go watch fake fox nonsense , on your level
They need some good laxative.
So many seemed to take Deflection 101 and Projection 101 from Trump University.
I mean, staffers said Pence was the one “running” everything, if you could call it that.. And ffs I was a teenager at the time but it was even obvious to me that Cheney was in charge of the Bush admin.
@Knight《☆》Bishop
Sounds about right on both counts.
That is so sad that the GOP can’t get their act together and instead destroying each other politically and they are beginning with representative Chaney whom they are replacing with a trump puppet in the House of Representatives.
says the parrot of propaganda and not a educated opinion based on facts and stats.
@Lorenzo Cabrini I think it would be great if the USA (I am Dutch), is able to evolve into a three party system. Starting with the current GOP dissolving because voters can’t handle their vendatta style anymore, their lack of vision, their only going for power for personal gains. This will provide room for a new conservative party, founded by former republicans who are conservative but left the party because of Trumpism. Hopefully there will then also be room for a splitting up of the democratic party in a centrist party and a progressive party. If any of these parties would go of the deep end, the other two will be able to counterbalance. Also none of the parties will have the majority. They need to work together to get anything done. Extra bonus for the voter overhad there will be more choices available.
@Jamison I don’t agree.
@Jamison The country was sinking under TRAITOR TRUMP’S DICTACTORSHIP.
Biden just ignores them as if they’re children lolol.
No normal people watch fox. They news are for the crazy. 😁🤣
@Vicki McCune
Enter-turd-ment.
So true…. fox viewers are all freaking out right now, thinking the price of gas is gonna SKYOCKET!! Uh, calm down, it’s gonna be ok…. they just panic about everything… it’s crazy
@Richie Robinson You must have a strong stomach too
FOX “views” the station with more sexual assault cases than college degrees
I’ve tried for the sake of objectivity but can never could get through an entire segment, it’s too skewed to the right.
Foxitis is a disorder but not an excuse!
I wonder if the bleach treatment can cure Foxitis…?
@Lorenzo Cabrini Funny! Maybe with the GOP.
Fox watchers choose that poison.
I think some of the approvals are more like a sigh of relief
Being a great leader is about giving talented people space (and budget) to do their thing.
Exactly.
@Benjamin Berlinsky It’s Benny the clown!
… a great leader would figure it out without spending every time and printing more….
Media – Exactly ! Pres needs to have good people around.
In total agreement.
The McConnell-Fox attacks are just empty threat
I call it ‘Psychopathy At Work.’
Their threats are empty because people are getting wise to the game. In my personal belief, the previous administration made a huge mistake by being so blunt. It made people realize they were being grifted, now attempts to tarnish any attempt at success are being met with scrutiny. They want to make people believe he is screwing up, but considering factors that were allowed to spiral out of control under the previous administration left us requiring semi-trailers to store the deceased due to the pandemic. It’s pretty hard to spin something like the vaccine rollout and attempt to keep money in people’s pockets despite unemployment for some. Is it perfect? Not even close, but at least he isn’t sitting on his hands.
The GOP have lost their WAY , their SOULS, and ALL of their INTEGRITY!
Been gone a long time.
WHO THE PUPPET? Mitch McConnell even stands there stiff like he’s got strings attached to him!
Or a hand up his behind.
He has Trump strings attached.
@Martin Fugitive Indeed he has. And BigCorp strings as well…
They going to throw Mitch McConnell in jail where they could give it to him Da Dumb Way 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Mitch needs to concentrate on his criminal wife.
Amen!!! She needs to be in JAIL!!!
Boom!😎
Such a shame that Fox exists to misinform its viewers. They don’t deserve press credentials.
Eric – They shouldn’t be in the press room. But we need to keep an eye on trump, the trumpers, faux, newsmax … they ain’t going away !
They are so jelious of President Bidens knowledge, skill, and ability. Not to mention his kindness, fairness, and ability to be human.
Best friggin joke I’ve heard all day. Can’t tie his own shoes, can’t formulate a complete sentence and doesn’t want what state he’s in most days. Just turn the teleprompter around and let us read it instead of watching dementia Joe attemt to read.
@Kevin Bragg When the president has a 63% approval rating, none of what you posted matters.
Biden just ignores them as if they’re children lolol.
@Michael Coleman , and you actually believe polls, how cute. Let me guess, 100 people polled and 98 of them were Democrats.
@My Tale , LMFAO. Ignores them? No, he just doesn’t have the cognitive ability to remember them.
Chai was blunt and spoke freely. I appreciate that, I’m sure many Americans do. Just keeping it real and being honest.
The strain is in attempting cornering Biden as not being truly in charge. I listened/watched his meeting with the governors and he’s definitely hands on and present.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Joe has 30 good years left in him.
Like always, the GQP needs to project any and all shortcomings onto this administration. Because everyone knows Trump did diddly squat for 4 years
@John Sands Amen.
Next they’ll accuse him of wearing a tan suit and eating the wrong kind of mustard.
Biden is even more chill than Obama in his speeches.He knows he doesn’t need to fight back against Fox and Trump. He just needs to keep doing his job and they ruin themselves for him.
Biden just ignores them as if they’re children lolol.
