Last week, President Joe Biden gave the worst debate performance on the presidential stage in history. Looking ancient, gazing glassy-eyed and slack-jawed out of frame, jabbering nonsensically—Donald Trump clocked him with the signally true observation, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, and I don’t think he knows what he said either”—Biden not only exposed himself, he exposed his administration and his media lackeys as liars.
For years, the American public has believed, correctly, that Joe Biden is not up to the job. The White House lied. They said that he wasn’t just up for the job—he was the most coherent and incisive president in modern history. The media lied, too. They said that behind closed doors, Biden was doing handsprings and reciting the poetry of Virgil backward in the original Latin.
Then Joe Biden went out and demonstrated that he belongs in an old age home. He confirmed what we all knew, live. For 90 minutes.
In doing so, he put everyone around him in a terrible bind. The media were forced to dissociate from Biden, declaring themselves shocked—shocked!—that Biden was sundowning. Biden’s aides, preparing for the inevitable attempt to shift blame from Biden himself to them, began leaking about Biden’s mental incompetence: A report from Axios suggested that Biden’s mental fitness begins around 10 a.m. and ends around 4 p.m.
Meanwhile, Biden’s family—the only group of people who can’t, with any credibility, claim to have been ignorant of his condition—continue to insist that the dementia-ridden president is just fine. That isn’t a shock: The moment Joe isn’t president, the Biden family gravy train, which has been running lucratively for half a century, will come to a grinding halt.
Jill Biden—sorry, Doctor Jill Biden—who now resembles a cross between Lady Macbeth and Edith Wilson, would have to get herself elected to play at the presidency; Hunter Biden would have to find a career other than picking up sacks of cash and finger painting; Frank and James might have to find clients who aren’t ready to pony up cash for the privilege of hobnobbing with a Biden.
And the Democratic Party, which nominated Joe Biden because he represents a papering-over of the vast chasms emerging between the pro-Hamas, pro-socialism wing of their party and the more sane, tax-and-regulate left, is stuck in-between. It can’t dump Biden and substitute someone else—to do so would be to admit its complicity in this debacle. And it can’t keep him—to do so would be to doom the Democratic Party to a likely Trump victory, and in the aftermath, the victory of a rebellious hard left demanding more power.
Which is why desperation is now setting in. This week, the Supreme Court issued a relatively noncontroversial decision explaining that the president has criminal immunity for core official acts, presumptive immunity but not absolute immunity for other official conduct, and no immunity for unofficial conduct.
There is nothing particularly shocking here. But the entire Left exploded with the extraordinary lie that the president had been given the power to drone his political opponents. Nobody in the media or on the Left truly believes this—but Joe Biden immediately rushed to the microphones to speak for four minutes, blasting the Supreme Court and declaring that if he is not elected, the country will fall into Hitlerism.
It was a divisive, nonsensical, utterly dishonest speech. But this is the situation in which Democrats find themselves: running a mentally incompetent 81-year-old for another four-year term, staring down the barrel of a Donald Trump presidency. They have only themselves to blame. And things only get worse from here.
Jesus! Stop this!.....................
entering stage left, welcome nominee Kamal Harris!
The media is shocked, shocked that Joe Biden is a vegetable!
They had no idea!
She may be the ‘incumbent’ soon.............
Nothing would surprise me now.
The media can’t break through to KJP. They need to stop asking her anything. Call that OKeefe fella.
Biden should resign the presidency immediatly.
INGSOC media has been defeating itself for a long time.
They are caught in their own trap.
If he’s too feeble and senile to even run as a candidate, then he’s too feeble and senile to be in office................
Biden’s debate performance proved he’s no more of a president than a potted plant his master just has to water him and give him some sun shine and move him around.
INGSOC
><
You spelled that wrong. There’s a K and a Z and a V in there.
Couple that with what Jill said in the Vogue interview.
Even Nancy Reagan didn’t have to do that.............
that would be a hoot!
she opens the floor for questions
and the media stares at their phones and talks amongst themselves
What are you saying? Reagan was semi impaired? BS. Reagan was fine all the way thru his presidency.
RE: candidate for President would be Harris....
… Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin’ me late
Is keepin’ me waitin’
… And tomorrow we might not be together
I’m no prophet and I don’t know nature’s ways
So I’ll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here ‘cause these are the good old days.
RE: claim by media that....They had no idea!
That explains why their pants are on fire. 🏃♂️🏃♀️🔥🔥
As the incumbent, Kamala, or “Que mala”, as I like to tag her with, would be VASTLY more vulnerable than just the tagalong to Biden. But of course, The Powers That Be may have already taken this into consideration.
Hobson’s Choice, which in the end, is no choice at all.
“extraordinary lie that the president had been given the power to drone his political opponents.”
Not enough attention has been paid to the fact that Sotomayor planted this lie in her dissent. Sotomayor’s hysterical dissent and the damage she has done raises question about the status of her mental health.
Harris against Trump is akin to running Daffy Duck against Ronald Reagan back in the day.
“And things only get worse from here.”
Mainly for ‘We The People!’ If Brandon wins another FRAUDULENT term, there will be celebratory fires, shootings and looting in our major cities.
If President in Exile Trump wins - same thing from the Socialist Democrats. :(
This is really going to be one for the History Books. Stay vigilant if you’re in a city. And get out if you can. ;)
