Why do they feel the need to keep bashing Biden and his administration?

Its as if they know, deep down, that that was how things are supposed to work. Biden was a real president and people respected him. He didn't have to brag about anything.

or at least less mentally-impaired, by nattering on about how old and feeble Biden was - although somehow he was managing to get stuff done. Jake Tapper might be just butthurt because he didn't always get the access he thought he was entitled to.

lack of responsibility for any of their decisions. It is always someone else’s fault. That is because GOP policies are incredibly unpopular so they hide what they do and believe.

If they're accusing those around Biden of covering up health issues or mental decline, it's because those around Donnie are covering up health issues or mental decline.

These people are evil, but they really aren't that complicated.

They have to know their Biden/Harris bashing in the name of both-siderism helped usher in this horror of Trump.

When the proverbial shit hits the fan they'll need a scapegoat.
Have you noticed the " President Trump can't undo the damage Biden did." narrative that's going down now?
The "Biden Crime Family needs to be held accountable" is all over as well.
Don't look now,they're buying it!

And to rewrite history with endless attacks on Biden, his four successful years in office and all the things accomplished for the benefit of the American people. When he's not attacking Biden, he's taking swipes at Obama.

Why?

Because both men make him look like the small, petty, petulant man he is and has always been.

And then, the media normalizes this bullshit--his vindictiveness, his continuous criminality and his massive ignorance.

That's the world we are a-living!

They only know how to whine bash and complain. They have no skills when it comes to building and restoring anything. The entire right wing is devoted to negative energy

That media is concerned with ratings, not what is in the best interest of the country or the Republican Party. There is some of the same problem with the Democrats, but it is not as bad. MSNBC has not been sued for making things up about stolen elections.
