Joe Biden at His Worst
WSJ ^ | 6 Apr 2021 | Holman W. Jenkins

...Or take his recent and ludicrous inaccuracies about Georgia’s new election law (four Pinocchios, said the Washington Post). He sounded like a man riffing on a few poorly understood lines that somebody fed him, making himself a prop for an agenda that he may not quite grasp.

...Mr. Biden might be in fine fettle for a man pushing 80 but that doesn’t mean he’s up to riding herd on the forces that followed him into the White House. Mr. Biden did not wrestle the nomination away from anybody (unlike Barack Obama or Mr. Trump). It landed on him. His career was that of an undistinguished but long placeholder. A habit of foolish grandiosity has repeatedly brought trouble, such as convincing himself of a glorious academic record that didn’t exist (he finished near the bottom of his law-school class after being disciplined for plagiarism)

And nothing about Mr. Biden today suggests he’s a president up to the heroic, arm-twisting, barnstorming public effort that it would take to get so radical a program past a resistant public and Congress—if he were, almost by definition he would not be the kind of presidential dog that unrepresentative activists would find so easy to wag....

Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.

Both parties cheated Senile Joe in rather than let the citizens keep their country.

Biden is in “fine fettle”? No, he’s not. A typical article from the lousy Poo-Bahs at the Wall Street Journal who sold the rest of us out in order to help this boob in “fine fettle” to fraudulently be “elected” President.

Here's the difference between lies and inaccuracies: this WSJ sentence is inaccurate. Biden lied about Georgia's new election law. Repeatedly.

I see your position to keep things short, but did you actually read the article?

And if you can move from terse mode, pls tell us where you receive your pure and truthful news?

Holman Jenkins is a member of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board. I know enough about the Wall Street Journal and its editorial board to put no stock in a damned thing they write. I have no interest in their buyer’s remorse over Biden, just as the so-called “Lincoln Project” has not a damned thing to say to me.

—”the difference between lies and inaccuracies:”

I did like seeing the distinction.
That said, looks to me that he is eviscerating Biden while keeping a pleasant tone and smiling?

So is that a verbose way of saying you did not care to read the article?

There will come a point when the plagiarist in chief will have outlived his usefulness.

I wonder if this, coming from one of their more respected mouthpieces, is a warning shot.

They’re on a mission, after all, and no one is too big to fall if they fail in that organization.

I read your synopsis; I have no desire to read a full article from the WSJ. It used to be a good, readable newspaper. It turned into a pro-Biden screed with the connivance of the Editorial Board, Holman Jenkins, Member, which helped propagate the lie that Wobbles Biden was a “likeable moderate”. I have enough knowledge of policy and related events that I don’t need to read long-winded trash.

—”I don’t need to read long-winded trash.”

So, again I ask where do you find a valid source of even semi-truthful news?

The head in the sand does not work.

I think Xiden is “at his worst” when he’s allowed to breathe on and fondle little kids. He’s disgusting.

Here’s a few for you to check: in addition to the legitimate news sources posted at FreeRepublic.com, try Redstate.org, Breitbart, JusttheNews.com, NationalFile.com, DailyCaller.com. Also the blogs of Richard Baris, Robert Barnes, Sara Carter, Lara Logan, Sharyl Attkisson, Jack Posobiec. I don’t need to read the fake “news” put out by the liars at 60 Minutes or my social betters at the WSJ Editorial Board.
