Democrats still scrambling to avoid any democracy in wake of Joe Biden’s debate disaster
NY Post ^ | 6/30/24 | Post Editorial Board

Democrats haven’t stopped scrambling since President Biden’s disaster Thursday night — publicly rallying behind him while leaking about their own fears and excuses amid a furious rush to figure out what to do now.

The absolute worst butt-covering has to be the White House aides who recounted to Axios that the prez is actually functional from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which is apparently their excuse for hoping he’d somehow manage to survive the debate.

That is, they’re finally admitting part of the truth, in hopes they don’t have to reveal more of it (at least, not until they pitch their tell-all memoirs).

But what a reveal: Hillary Clinton’s famous attack ad against Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries asked viewers to think about whether he could field a “3 a.m. phone call” about some global crisis.

Now the sitting president’s staff is admitting he couldn’t reliably handle a 6 p.m. call.

Maybe those future memoirs will recount discussions about their clear duty to get the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which presumably ended with the realization that no one trusted Kamala Harris to field that phone call, either.

Other press stories recount the (mostly anonymous) fears of Democratic congressional candidates and leaders that Biden (should he stay in the race) will be a huge drag on the entire party come November — dashing their hopes to retake the House and not lose the Senate.

Oh, and aides to various foreign leaders opened up to The Wall Street Journal about how Biden’s decline this past year has been unmistakable.

It does seems as if The Kenyan would be playing a big role in this...behind the scenes. Is it because he wants to be The First Gentleman...or does he see another $50 million book deal in his future?

It is called “sundowners”.
Please tell the rest of the world not to bomb, war or disturb after 6:00pm. That will fix everything.

Re: “sundowners,” yep.

Also they basically told the world if they want to act against the US or our allies, just do it between 4:00 pm and 10:00 am.

“Hillary Clinton’s famous attack ad against Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries asked viewers to think about whether he could field a “3 a.m. phone call” about some global crisis.”

We know she couldn’t properly field the call about the attack on the US embassy in Libya. Rescue forces were told to stand down. Our ambassador was captured, repeatedly raped and killed. It wouldn’t have happened if she and BHO hadn’t previously taken out Gaddafi. She did field questions with a question: “What does it really matter at this point?”

Democrat elites show callous indifference to the military. Recall Joe impatiently checking his watch as caskets were returned from the A-stan debacle. How much longer do I have to stand here?

Presidents used to work much, much longer than they do now. Their days were grueling and their schedules for decision and action were packed. Obama changed that and Biden has taken it to new levels. Not even a 40 hour week, apparently. Those ‘decisions’ are still there and somebody in that realm has taken up the responsibility.

Probably, the only thing Biden actually does during the limited times he does work is to sign/authorize those decisions already made for him.
