Biden Should Beware of Nemesis
Townhall.com ^ | December 17, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 12/17/2020 4:09:24 AM PST by Kaslin

Joe Biden will be our next president. But he will face Nemesis in a way that few other presidents have ever encountered the cruel Greek god. Biden's hubris and that of the media/Democratic Party fusion almost guarantee such divine retribution.

Once the last of the other Democratic primary candidates dropped out and Biden was nominated, all prior negative media stories about his apparent cognitive decline and his family's financial entanglements disappeared. From April 2020 on, a virtual news blackout surrounded Biden. His rare interviews were scripted. Biden communiques were teleprompted. Press conferences were either nonexistent or revolved around his favorite milkshake or his socks.

Mentions of Hunter Biden's business dealings in China and Ukraine were taboo. It was sinful to reference reports of a Hunter Biden email allegedly detailing a 10 percent distribution of such revenue to the "Big Guy" -- presumably Joe Biden.

Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden never really campaigned. After the primaries, he outsourced his fall 2020 campaign to subordinates and pet journalists to attack Trump.

So is Biden the centrist old Joe from Scranton, or the recently reinvented hard-left running mate of Kamala Harris? Both or neither? Will he keep the booming pre-COVID-19 Trump economy to claim as his own? Or will he go full socialist to apply a Bernie Sanders-style makeover to it?

A President Biden cannot avoid the press forever. He will soon face unscripted meetings with foreign leaders. He will have to meet dozens of movers and shakers each week. Is he or the nation prepared for the consequences of his return to normality after nearly a year of media fawning and forced isolation?

Yes, shame on vdh for putting that very unnecessary line into his article. It added nothing and damaged his credibility.

He is a angry person. Gets flustered easy. He will lose it every one they have a press conference and I am telling you know. This is what the democrats will do. They will throw him to the media and put him on full display and the reports will come out. I just hope it’s after the decision on the election has flipped. Other wise it will be the excuse to get him out. We have all known the plan from the beginning. It’s been obvious.

But Biden should hope that the opposition will not do to him and his party what the Democrats did so bitterly to Trump.

The Republicans do not include most of the Media, including the Tech Oligarchs, as the Left does.

Conservatives are becoming adept at creating American Samizdat equivalents.

Is that what I said? No I did not say that. There is no requirement to read everything to be informed. The context of my message is that I do not accept the idea Biden will be the next President. Any news article that starts with that pretext is not worth my time. My time here is limited to a few minutes in the AM and another few in the PM. I’m not one of those that sit here all day long. I read what I have time for and I’m not going to read any drivel some asshat like yourself tries to shame me into.

Joe Biden should be forced into a bunker, starting with the “swearing in” ceremony. He should be forced to conduct an illegal presidency entirely from behind armor and bristling guns. Pennsylvania Ave. should look like The Kremlin during a high security alert, grey guns and no humanity. It is only meet...

"A President Biden cannot avoid the press forever."

Why would he want to avoid some of his best allies? This is like saying a john can't avoid his favorite hookers forever.

This will be quickly quashed. China will show the way here. Forget the Russian model - it worked to some degree there at that time, but that time has passed. Things work differently in ‘modern’ China than in the old USSR.

You will be required to carry a smart cell phone at all times for observational and identity security, for your vaccination records, to keep you informed as to your social credit score, and allowable spending on permitted items. Harsh on-the-spot physical penalties will be applied on discovery of forbidden materials to you, your family, and your neighbors. Persistence will get your organs harvested without anesthesia.

“Joe Biden will be our next president.”

For someone like him who is supposed to be able out think us all, that statement is incredible.

To make a statement like that, knowing that Biden is where he is due to a blatant fraud, and accepting it as legitimate, and inexorable, is abject surrender to the destruction of the American nation.

It is beyond being a shallow weakness; that conviction reveals deep compulsive fatalism.

“Nemesis” is a false god.

Joe Biden needs to be worried about the Wrath of the Lamb:

Revelation 6:16-17
“ 16and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;

17for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”

Exactly. I don’t listen the way I used to to talk radio anymore since this outrage to Reason and Justice began. I dont read anything that is bullshit. I don’t listen or in any way regard the Lost and Hopeless. I KNOW what is and what must be done.
