Biden’s Handlers Are Preparing to Eject Him (and Kamala): They must replace him, otherwise they themselves risk being replaced, which would be intolerable.
American Greatness ^ | 03/19/2022 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 03/19/2022 10:04:11 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

I sense a disturbance in the force. In fact, I’ve been feeling the tremors for a while. Back in January, I wrote a column for American Greatness called “The Coming Dethronement of Joe Biden.” In it, I noted that Biden’s appalling performance as president would sooner or later—and probably sooner, given the ostentatious nature of his multifaceted failure—lead to his removal as president.

I should have added that it wasn’t Biden’s performance per se that would lead to his downfall. The problem, rather, was the way his performance was undermining his—and therefore his minders’ and puppetmasters’—political power. As Saul Alinsky, community organizer to the stars, noted, the “issue is never the issue.” Accordingly, the people who put Joe Biden in power—I cannot name them, but I know they are the same people who keep him in power—do not care about inflation, rising gas and food prices, COVID lockdowns or mask mandates, the porousness of our Southern border, the threat of war with Russia, or the myriad other issues that worry ordinary voters. I am quite certain, in fact, that the word “voters” brings a vaguely contemptuous smile to their faces.

They are not troubled by the suffering of the people, indeed, they approve of a certain amount of suffering. Suffering produces dependency; and dependency, in turn, is like an insurance policy for those who cater to it: the bureaucrats who fill the troughs that feed the populace. The point, of course, was never to end the dependency but to manage in such a way as to perpetuate and expand it. Joe Biden is an errand boy, a figurehead, in the metabolism of this great (not to say Great Society) act of political legerdemain.

Back in January, I compared the conundrum that Joe Biden presented to The Committee that keeps him in power with the conundrum that Richard Nixon presented to the elites of his day. Nixon was hated by all the beautiful people of his day, but before he could be disposed of the elites had to address the problem of Spiro Agnew, who in his own way was nearly as preposterous as Kamala Harris. Fortunately for the anti-Nixon forces, Agnew was also corrupt in a pedestrian, easy-to-demonstrate sort of way. So all that the forces of light and virtue had to do was produce evidence of his glomming on to paper bags full of pelf in exchange for favors rendered and, presto, Agnew was history.

Kamala Harris is more of a problem. She is at least as appallingly incompetent as her boss, and no less challenged rhetorically, as her alarming performance in Poland and Romania a week or two back demonstrated. But Harris will not be as easy to shift as was Agnew. I have heard nothing about actual bribery, and acting as the warm bun for Willie Brown’s bratwurst may be in dubious taste but is not actionable.

But Biden’s—and Harris’—polls continue to crater, with 60 percent of respondents disapproving of the job Biden is doing, and 50 percent “strongly” disapproving. It’s the worst showing yet, and many commentators are rubbing salt into the wound by stressing the adverb: We’ve been traveling down this road for months, they say, and so far every “worst yet” turns out to be tomorrow’s “hold my beer” moment.

The last several days have been full of wonder at the New York Time’s admission that, guess what, Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” was not—as Joe Biden claimed—“Russian disinformation.” Nope, everything that Donald Trump said to Leslie Stahl about it was true. Everything the New York Post said about it was true. Twitter and the rest of the regime media pronounced a damnatio memoriae on the Post and anyone who dared publicize the scurrilous story. The poor computer repair chap who found and publicized the dirt, political as well as sexual, on Hunter’s laptop was hounded and driven into bankruptcy. (Remember Jonah Goldberg on that poor fellow? I do. “Wait you believe the computer repair shop story? Like at face value?”)

The truth was there, staring everyone in the face. Remember Tony Bobulinski? He is the former Navy officer and businessman who was set to start a financial company with Hunter and Jim Biden, Joe’s brother. As I noted at the time, just before the 2020 election Bobulinski demonstrated, with copious contemporary documentation,

that various Chinese entities, all of whom—like all things Chinese—are ultimately answerable to the party, have invested heavily in the Bidens via various business enterprises of Joe’s son Hunter. We are talking about tens of millions of dollars.

Now, why would the Chinese do this? Out of some misplaced humanitarian instinct? No, they did it in order “to capitalize on the Biden name.” At the time, remember, Joe was vice-president of the United States. That was all that Hunter had to offer. But it was, the Chinese wagered, quite a lot. Many thought that Joe Biden might be president, and it turns out they were right. It was, in short, “influence peddling of the grossest and most spectacular kind.” As I said then,

When influence is peddled, obligations are incurred. When obligations are incurred, favors can be expected. When the favors are owed, directly or indirectly, to the Chinese Communist Party, you want to be sure that the people in debt are not, you know, presiding over the government of the United States of America.

All that information about Bobulinski came from an interview with Tucker Carlson. It was about the only place you could find his name. Searches for him on CNN turned up zilch: “search not found.” We’re talking about a week or two before the election. Everything not friendly to Biden was memory-holed. Hunter’s laptop, of course, but also the evidence that Bobulinski produced showed that, contrary to Joe Biden’s direct testimony, Joe did talk to Hunter about his business. In one communication, equity stakes for the new company are spelled out. Ten percent is to be held by “H”—that’s Hunter—for “the big guy,” “my Chairman,” i.e., Joe Biden.

Which brings me back to the disturbance in the force with which I began. Why do you suppose that the New York Times has decided, finally, at this late date, to acknowledge that the story that the New York Post broke about Hunter’s laptop was true? The Times, like the rest of the fake news establishment, like virtually all of social media, buried the story, screaming loudly that of course it wasn’t true, of course it was Russian disinformation, mediated somehow by that consummate Putin puppet, Donald Trump. Fifty-one “intelligence experts,” remember, signed an open letter denouncing the story and pronouncing anathema upon Donald Trump. Presented with evidence that they were wrong, every one of that disgusting crew—John Brennan, James Clapper, and the rest of the anti-Trump deep state coven—refused to apologize.

Many people seem to think that the reason that the story of Hunter’s laptop—which is just as much about Joe Biden’s perfidy as it is about Hunter’s perversion—has emerged now is because it can no longer do any serious damage. The election is over, Biden won—at least, he was declared the winner, which is not quite the same thing, although it does mean that he gets to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

But I wonder if there isn’t something else going on. The news is full not only of stories about the New York Times fessing up, sort of, about the contents of Hunter’s laptop, but also of stories about how Hunter is likely to be indicted for tax fraud. In one sense, that is not news. I wrote about it at the end of 2020 when Hunter announced, sotto voce, that he had been informed that he was being investigated by the tax authorities. But in another sense, I suspect, that news, like the revelation from the New York Times that, what do you know, all that stuff about Hunter’s laptop was on the level, like Joe Biden’s bizarre suggestion a couple of days ago that “everybody knows somebody” who has taken nude pictures of some lover and then used them to “blackmail” the person—all that has a different valence now that the Biden Administration is seriously underwater and there are no lifelines in evidence.

The issue is never the issue. I suspect that Joe Biden is being prepped for ejection. Exactly how it will happen I do not yet know. But he is on the threshold, or possibly has even passed the threshold, where he could appear to govern. His minders understand this. They must be the ones to replace him, otherwise they themselves risk being replaced, which would be intolerable. As I say, it’s not entirely clear yet how the defenestration will take place. Obviously, Kamala will have to be dealt with first, and she will be. Look for some ground softening stories such as the Times just served up about the laptop. They won’t be long in coming.

Reminds me of the old adverb: "When in doubt, look it up!"

The author should have used "proverb."

His suspicion is entirely reasonable and is a thought I’ve had as well. The problem is, how to get rid of the Cackler. I thought maybe they would offer her that spot on the Supreme Court just to get rid of her. It is a position she might have accepted. Otherwise, unless they’ve got evidence of a felony, there is simply no way to push her out....and she’s damn well not going to go voluntarily. She knows that the second she does that, her political career is over. As it stands now, if Biden should simply keel over one day - entirely possible - she would be president....AND it would be impossible for the Democrats to deny her as sitting president the nomination in 2024.

So why should she give up her lotto ticket? What can they offer her that’s better? What can they threaten her with to force her out?

Ya gotta love the irony that identity politics has put the Donkeys in an inescapable trap of their own making.

Nominate Buttplug and lots and LOTS of Blacks sit at home on election day. They simply will not accept a gay candidate. He ran into that brick wall already in South Carolina.

Frankly, I wish Tucker would not have Tulsi Gabbard on. It boosts her profile. She is nowhere near as vile as the vast majority of those in leadership positions in the Democrat party. She’s also easy on the eyes which “shouldn’t” matter in politics but we all know it does. She’s not somebody Americans would hate even if they disagreed with her. She does not ooze hatred toward them like most Democrats do.

The problem is that her positions on too many issues are terrible. She wants strict gun control. She’s for socialized medicine. She’s for UBI, etc etc. The issues are what matters most and she’s electable. Don’t help her.

First,51 is the combined professionalism IQ of the 51 Intel officials who signed that letter about the laptop and or its contents.

Kamala Harris, Miss Mattress Testor winner of the decade, is “Ready, Willy and Able” to continue on as the dumbest VP in history.

The puppetmasters will use the 25 th Amendment to get rid of Joe and make Harris the new puppet pres until she is forced to resign.

Who’s next in line besides brain-addled Mafia chick Pelosi and even worst, KAPO Schumer? That’s where the silent overplayed will fight.

I figure the Demos just realized that they’re as “allergic” to radiation as the rest of us.

Wishful thinking and tortured logic that overlooks the fact that most Reps hate Trump as much as the Dims do.

Well, according to the conspiracy theory that the author is promoting, the ruling elites had this problem years ago when "popular" opinion settled on Joe Biden in the first place compared to the rest of the dem primary field. After all, Joe Biden is the 21st century surviving lifeform of the the general group that included Spiro Agnew in the first place, and they knew it.

Ans Kamala? Anybody who didn't realize that she is a blank slate, and empty vessel, etc. should be living in a trailer down by the river.

How? Just curious. There really isn’t anything in the Constitution as to how a former president returns to office in a fraudulent election.

Trump is not the type of person who would want to be Speaker. It isn’t going to happen. It’s clear the Republicans will flip the House in November, but the vote for Speaker, for better or worse, will go to McCarthy. He is the one helping members and challengers to raise money. They will be beholden to him. It’s just the way it works.

Trump as Senator then becomes Speaker? You can't be a Senator and Speaker. Did you mistype something?

If Trump wants to be President in 2024, it's best that he is not a sitting politician, because he will be blamed for every cough, traffic accident and anyone who gets the hiccups.

He needs to speak about the current state of affairs, the future and how he would make it better, along with some election integrity issues. I don't see Trump, as Speaker, dealing with running the House and calling for a quorum at midnight. That's not Trump.

In order for that to happen the entire country would need to understand the level of the corrupted election. Second, it has to be enough to bring down the entire democrat leadership. Which, after the past year’s worth of actions/displays of gross usurpation of power, all the way to their Ukraine dealings would have to be known.

I have said from the beginning Russia Ukraine invasion is not about Ukraine, it is about the Biden/American oligarch families. It is a mob action on a global scale. The issue is never the issue, look wider. President Trump could see it. President Trump saw the risk to our National Security.

Everything, literally everything, they have accused Trump of doing: Are crimes they are committing. It seems rather ridiculous now that Pelosi was so concerned about the nuclear codes back in January 2021, but here we are now with Biden and nuclear war with Russia.

So much conspiracy fodder right there it is not even funny. It makes one wonder if there was a Kremlin phone call back in 2021 to Biden/Pelosi warning them that their coup would lead to nuclear war? I recall laughing at Pelosi’s concerns that President Trump had the codes, well here we are today. It just could be Trump got wind of that threat too. Right now a lot of people would be very happy to see the American oligarchy brought to heel.

Yeah, FR folks will laugh at this post, but the big picture puzzle pieces just keep dropping into place.

I know he is, but he is going to be Speaker, just as McConnell will be elected as Majority Leader this coming November. These people never go away.
