The entirety of their solution to any problems that arise will be to blame Biden. And if they get called on that, double down. No relief, no forward planning, just blame.
About a decade ago, I went through a Charles Bukowski binge. I read all of his books and poems. After that I read some of his letters. I was shocked to learn that he had submitted poetry to The Atlantic. Bukowski was desperate to be published. He celebrated finally having his material in the magazine.
Apparently, in a previous life, The Atlantic had a somewhat serious literary element. I've only known it as a political publication. Views range from military interventionism to economic interventionism.
Looking over the recent submissions, I see a common editorial theme: "The current administration is bad, bad, bad - and the only thing worse than the man we hate is the impending doom caused by not having big enough government bureaus."
Calling it a "joke" doesn't excuse the comment, as it highlights a serious lapse in judgment. The public expects competence and clarity from the National Weather Service, not attempts at humor that downplay responsibility. In a room where confidence in leadership is already low, joking about not knowing hurricane season exists only reinforces perceptions of incompetence. This isn’t about being funny-it’s about being accountable and understanding the mission.
