Joe Biden, Sinking into the Sand
American Thinker.com ^ | August 22, 2021 | Doris O'Brien

In his sonnet "Ozymandias," poet Percy Bysshe Shelley tells of a traveler who comes upon a desert ruin that was once an ancient empire. All that is left of it are "two vast and trunkless legs of stone" and a sneering imperial stone "visage" half-buried in the sand. Etched on a pedestal are the words: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair."

Joe Biden is a latter-day Ozymandias, with a tremendous thirst for power and a misplaced sense of invulnerability. But unlike the ancient royal ruler, it will not take eons for Biden's power to erode. Even as his smirk remains, he is diminishing before our very eyes.

Put bluntly, Biden is not as advertised. He was supposed to bring a divided nation together. He promised to govern not with an iron fist, but with a velvet glove. Now that hand has trouble finding his mask. Joe represented himself as a serious candidate, well versed in affairs of state. Instead, we are saddled with a cipher in the White House, a compromised head of state who takes in teleprompter content through his beady eyes and drones it out through his thin lips.

In many U.S. states, there are "lemon laws" that provide a remedy for purchases of cars and other consumer goods to compensate for products that fail to meet standards of quality and performance. If the home you buy comes with unhappy surprises, there are legal remedies. The Federal Trade Commission enforces truth in adverting laws. Nothing like this applies to politicians who disappoint.

After Trump's victory over Hillary in 2016, one of my college classmates wrote to her like-minded liberal friends, "How can we have let this happen?"

Joe and Harris must resign...........or be removed via the 25th amendment.The other alternative will not be mentioned.

And then we will have a huge battle as it should be.

The author is spot on regarding Biden’s epic failure - except for one thing:

She seems surprised that he’s not the leader he claimed to be.

Anyone with a brain could see this coming.

” As a result, he became impervious to criticism. He found it easy enough to weasel out of unpopular actions, such as the 1994 legislation he authored and pushed, intending to reduce crime, but resulting, instead, in massive incarceration, particularly of blacks.”

The ONE THING that he did right was help get felons off the streets. Now it’s being reversed, along with the results of keeping felons off the streets.

What we need is someone to go and interview each of those generals who wrote condemning Trump during the campaign and ask them what they have to say about their guy.

kakocracy: rule or government by the worst people.

Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer. Yep, America is being subjected to a kakocracy. As MTG says, they’re “pieces of sh*t.”
