Joe Biden Should Resign

Washington -- Well, we have two hellholes around the globe today: Afghanistan and Haiti. Where would you rather be? You could be in Haiti, where American aid is being flown in and where, as perilous as it is today, there will be better tomorrows. Or you could be in Afghanistan, where American rescue planes are flying in, but they are in short supply, and there is no sign of better tomorrows. In fact, there will be worse tomorrows. In both countries, America has made its mark. I shall take Haiti.

resident Joe Biden keeps appearing on the television screen. He vaguely reminds me of former President Donald Trump with his press conferences on COVID-19, Operation Warp Speed and anything else that popped into his mind. He was having a good time of it. Moreover, much of what he said was true. COVID was eventually on the run, and Operation Warp Speed was a reality. Is it possible Biden has taken Trump as his model? Alas, Biden is not having a good time.

He stands there in front of the cameras, sometimes with aides nearby whom he glances at. Sometimes he looks stonily into the camera. He seems to be out of touch, even oblivious of what is going on. At his second press conference last week, he said so many things that were plainly not true that I could not keep up with him. Politicians often say things that are not true, but not on consequential matters. If the matters are consequential, most politicians avoid the question if they have no way to help themselves. Biden does not seem to recognize whether the questions are important or not. I have never seen a president of the United States so out of touch with reality. I suppose former President Woodrow Wilson may have answered questions in this way, but that was after his stroke. Could Biden have had a stroke?

I would say he has to leave office immediately, but that would leave Vice President Kamala Harris as president. From what I have seen of her, she is as out of it as Biden, though for different reasons. Biden is out of it because he is an old 78. Harris is out of it because she is an ideologue of the far left. Either way, both are incapable of running the country. This is what you get when the voters vote against a candidate rather than for a candidate. They did not like Trump, though he gave them good government. So now they have a president who is clearly not up to the job, and a president in the wings who is an ideologue of the far left and clearly irrelevant.

Biden has always had the seeds of "cut and run" from the enemy in him. My colleague, Jeff Lord, knowing that Biden has held high office for some 40 years, got it into his head to pull from his library shelf former President Gerald Ford's memoir, "A Time To Heal," and review how Ford dealt with a similar situation to that now confronting Biden -- the fall of Vietnam. Lo and behold, there he found on page 255 of Ford's memoirs a young senator from Delaware, Joe Biden, siding with a majority of senators from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a meeting with the president in the Oval Office. Young as he was, Biden made his mark with Ford. Only two other senators are quoted, but Biden's quote is the longest. The junior senator said to the president, "I will vote for any amount for getting the Americans out" but "I don't want it (the monies extended to Americans) mixed with getting the Vietnamese out." An incredulous Ford said, "We couldn't just cut and run," but we did. And now Biden is president.

So, Biden is in the White House, and I do not see any way to remove him. What is more is the Democratic Party, at least in its upper tiers of leadership, is populated by people no more competent than Biden or Harris. They are all frauds. They are governors cut from the cloth of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The senators are cut from the cloth of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. They all have more skeletons in their closets than a grave robber. We are in for a long and painful period.

He’s bad, no question. However, I do not want Pelosi near the Oval Office for any reason at all. That’s worse.

[EEGator]

I actually don’t care either way. The Whore might even be worse.
Biden is perpetual 2022 election material.

[Red Badger]

He won’t.

Dementia patients are unusually stubborn and persistent....................

[cotton1706]

He can’t. Because if he does, the Senate goes to 50-50.

And besides, Obama’s minions like having an old coot who won’t/can’t answer any questions while they make policy behind the scenes.

[ScottinVA]

Bad as Biden is, the ‘ho would be far worse. Could you imagine hearing that grating cackle every friggin’ day?

[COBOL2Java]

Get rid of Biden, and you have the Cackler in Chief.

[gundog]

Ain’t no quit in “Champ” Biden, by gum.

[bigfootbob]

How so? I don’t think she could do near as much damage as the current fool. Pelosi would have a hard time leading. She’s hated in her caucus and she would have to be replaced as speaker.

I also think her ascension would doubly insure conservative victory in ‘22 and 24! It also might galvanize conservatives into a body with a backbone.

The accompanying photo of Joe Biden walking away from the lectern brings to mind a video I saw yesterday of Biden walking away from Marine 1 that caught my attention because of the peculiar manner of his gait. He walked in an odd way raising his knees more than necessary in a style that was different but still analogous to the gate of a victim of Korsakoff's syndrome.

I went to Google and found that there is a strong correlation between dementia and Alzheimer's and a compromised way of walking. Typically, the victim shuffles but Biden is not shuffling but "high-stepping" perhaps to avoid the appearance of shuffling. The research also shows that the victim tends to walk with his head down peering at the ground rather than with his chin up looking at the horizon. I let the observer judge for himself.

Perhaps Biden is further advanced in his dementia than we suspect, perhaps he will suffer a more debilitating stroke than the aneurysms he has already sustained or perhaps he will simply give way to a general malaise of dementia and resign.

Perhaps.

What is the over/under on Biden serving out his term?

[usconservative]

From what I have seen of her, she is as out of it as Biden, though for different reasons. Biden is out of it because he is an old 78. Harris is out of it because she is an ideologue of the far left

Or syphilis.

[Jonty30]

The only way I would tolerate Pelosi in the White House is if a conservative was voted to replace her seat. I don’t see that happening in her district. The Democrats would go hard and fast left and there would be nothing to stop them.

[Jonty30]

As I understand your rules of succession, not necessarily. Your VP could stay a VP and the Speaker could bypass her, straight to the Presidency.

[dowcaet]

Slow Joe’s going nowhere. The media started the 360 spin job by spewing the narrative that this is the biggest airlift in history, or something to that effect. Then there’s the fudging of numbers.

President Gerald Ford’s memoir, “A Time To Heal,” shows how Ford dealt with a similar situation to that now confronting Biden — the fall of Vietnam. .......on page 255 a young senator Joe Biden, sided with a majority of senators from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Biden said to the president, “I will vote for any amount for getting the Americans out” but “I don’t want it (the monies extended to Americans) mixed with getting the Vietnamese out.” An incredulous Ford said, “We couldn’t just cut and run,” but we did.

And now Biden is president.

So

[Dr. Sivana]

Well, we have two hellholes around the globe today: Afghanistan and Haiti.

When did Somalia stop being a hell hole? Zimbabwe is a hell hole for whites, last I checked, though some whites in Zimbabwe and South Africa continue to live as badly-beaten wives who won't leave.

[eeriegeno]

Biden could resign, go completely insane, or croak and it will not make one iota of difference as to the direction of the United States. The people in charge now with Biden will be the same people in charge after Biden. Minor corrections now will not fix our problems!

[COBOL2Java]

The 25th Amendment

Section 1: Presidential succession

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

[Jonty30]

Unless they are a package deal....

[cgbg]

Biden resigning just takes us from the frying pan into the fire.

I want that senile pinata bouncing around the room until we can get a real President.
