And yet the media coverage of the twin crises that face the Biden administration hasn&#8217;t managed to capture the political peril the president and his party now face.<\/p>\n<p>On the world stage, Team Biden&#8217;s well-credentialed technocrats have proved no match for the Taliban. It&#8217;s impossible to miss it. Even the <em>Washington Post<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/bidens-promise-to-restore-competence-to-the-presidency-undercut-by-chaos-in-afghanistan\/2021\/08\/16\/4feaaebc-feaf-11eb-ba7e-2cf966e88e93_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proclaimed<\/a> last week, &#8220;Biden&#8217;s promise to restore competence to the presidency is undercut by chaos in Afghanistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The White House doesn&#8217;t seem eager to reset the narrative. Asked whether Americans would be stranded in Afghanistan when the United States pulls out next week, Biden spinmeister Jen Psaki told reporters at a Tuesday press briefing to slide into her DMs with contact information for any Americans left hanging. How reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>On the domestic front, a group of moderates in the House succeeded in derailing, albeit temporarily, a pro-forma vote on the federal budget. In doing so, the group exposed in real time the deep fissures between the Democratic Party&#8217;s progressive and moderate wings that threaten to derail Biden&#8217;s infrastructure boondoggle, er, domestic agenda.<\/p>\n<p>The moderates on Tuesday agreed to a budget vote in exchange for a commitment from House leaders on a firm date for a vote on the smaller infrastructure package. Progressives, who have insisted that that package be tied to their own &#8220;human infrastructure&#8221; goody bag, are now threatening to walk. And the larger problem remains: Democratic senators Joe Manchin (W. Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), both opposed to the progressive bill, aren&#8217;t budging.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the precarious Democratic agenda against the backdrop of COVID resurgence and the specter of inflation. The Biden presidency is hanging by a thread, and Americans would be right to fear that reality isn&#8217;t yet done mugging the old man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mainstream media&#8217;s honeymoon with President Joe Biden is over.
