I thought this headline would be a humorous exaggeration— nope. She even chocked down an initial “circle back” before she ran out of hems and haws and had to... you know, the thing.

The thing is, I think half of this is her incompetence, and the other half is who the hell knows who is in charge?

Are there dozens of power circles churning out EOs and policy decisions daily without central thought or plan, and Xiden is just rubber stamping and the press secretary is left talking about things they didn’t exactly coordinate?

Don’t get me wrong, she sucks, but this smells of ramming things through getting signatures from a sack of bones President.

President Trump has a very specific plan and his press secretaries were always trying to break through press corps intransigence to communicate the why.

Resident Biden’s press secretary is faced with the problem that any particular attempt to explain a purpose is very likely to end up blowing up in their faces and embarrassing Biden’s handlers, so the incentive is not to answer publicly at all, even in response to press softballs begging for some narrative to force-feed to the public.

Circle back must be some kind of hip sexual fererence that I’m too square to understand.

It’s like a reacharound w/out the pleasure. Kinda like getting dry f*cked.
