Nobody should, any longer, pretend that Joe Biden is fit to lead this nation.
Joe Biden has badly, visibly bungled America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He has compounded the problem with his sluggish and dishonest public statements. This has gone so badly that even people and institutions that are normally sympathetic to Biden and his party have noticed. American allies have been appalled, and vocal about it. What is slowly dawning on people is that Biden’s critics were right about him all along. Not since James Buchanan has America had a president who came so prepared by experience for the job, yet had so little clue how to do it. That reality will be shoved from consciousness soon enough by people with a professional stake in not acknowledging it, but a growing number of the American people are likely to remember. So will our allies and enemies around the world.

Yet, longtime Biden-watchers knew better. Two sets of critiques of Biden have followed him over the course of his career, and Republicans and conservatives have hardly been the only ones to level them. First were the things people noticed about Biden before 2019. For all his time-serving in Washington, Biden was widely understood to be a lightweight, a fabulist, a plagiarist, an exaggerating braggart, a walking gaffe machine, a purveyor of malarkey who covered his inch-deep grasp of everything with his Irish charm and his ability to talk fast and at length until the listener had long since lost track of the topic. Biden rarely had ideas of his own, and when he did, they were usually the subject of mockery. His capacity for filling airtime at Senate hearings without actually saying anything was legendary.

Editor’s Note: If you would like to read more pros and cons on voting for President Trump, further essays on the subject, each from a different perspective, can be found here, here, and here.

Once again: "These articles, and the one below, reflect the views of the individual authors, not of the National Review editorial board as a whole."
The original articles were "Yes," "No," and "Maybe." Williamson threw in the "Hell, No" article of his own just to muddy the waters.
Really made a great effort to put up a supportive case there.
Joe's always been afraid of getting blamed for doing something and not being able to pass the buck.
Joe forgot that surrendering and bugging out is doing something too.
With Carter and Obozo and now Biden, people tend to forget about Buchanan....
Minimum age for the U.S. Senate is 30.
He was and is all of that. He ran for president twice in the past and won what, one hundred votes?! He needed a one hundred per cent sympathetic media (and one hundred per cent hostile to his opponent) and massive fraud to win this time. He is the personification of a nothing man. I wish Corn Pop had kicked his ass.

And considering his company in The Senate, that is saying something.
I used to subscribe to NR. When they had Mark Steyn as a regular contributor and John O’Sullivan, I dropped them a long time ago.
Came so prepared? Haven’t many of us been saying, like Trump, that Biden has been in political office for 47 years and what does he have to show for it? A true politician that is incompetent, yet so firmly imbedded in politics that he cannot be voted out! This is why we need term limits! Not that it would ever pass, but we see daily that the longer they stay in office, the more destructive they become!
Now is the time to make the best possible offer to Joe Manchin to have him switch parties. Committee Chairmanships, Joe Manchin Federal Institute for Advancement of Bowling HQ in Morgantown, etc., etc., etc. - whatever it takes to end this charade of Democratic majority in the Senate. I recall Shelby switching parties during the Reagan Administration. It happens. But now is the time it is the most valuable marginal switch in history. In a state that went for Trump by 70-30 in 2020, and with a re-election in 2022 that would be a lock as a Republican - it’s time to make him an offer he can’t refuse.
I don’t want turncoats.
Joe is the poster boy for term limits.
This is why I would like Harris to get in there pretty soon. She wont be able to fix this and will show how inept she is.
No Dem can fix this.
It takes someone like Trump.
Neither side has anyone that can fix this at the moment.
It will be all finger pointing.
Milley will probably be the first to fall.

Romanian Term Limits.
As limiting as possible, it also would make it harder on lobbyists and cost them a whole heck of a lot more money, also have the elected work via computers from their home districts, making it even more difficult and expensive for lobbyists.
True but as Carlin said..
Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans.
National Review - chock filled to the brim with anti-Trumpers. Are they happy now?
