The “tragedy” of The Big Guy? More like outrage!
and the fact that the relevant statutes all mention “intent,”
wo men sit across a table. One is just there to listen. The other, an 80-something who never got around to retirement, speaks in a halting voice of his memories and the possessions that keep them straight. He wanders aloud through his son’s death; his attendance at funerals in since-dissolved countries; his hopes across his long, long career, and the pinnacle of that career, his assurance that history will forgive him. Through splintered memories the old man discusses his parents, his education, his aspirations fulfilled and unfulfilled, and so much that cannot be pieced back together. No one asked him about these topics; they simply emerge.
It’s a scene fit for the stage. Joe Biden’s five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hur, told piecemeal in the latter’s almost 400-page report, transcends its intended genre. And while it had its moment in the news earlier this spring, this tragicomic character study of America’s oldest president risks being buried under far less interesting stories. The news coverage of the report never quite captured it, but all the irony and futility of Biden’s long political career converged in this conversation and its aftermath, as if Willy Loman himself were stalking the halls of the White House.
81 million ballots.
And maybe more next time.
The only “tragedy” about the roostersucker is that he is president,
So, Biden might have been correct once in his career. Bling squirrel, acorns, etc. Joe Biden has been consistently corrupt for over about 50 years.
The whore report,
I know that some people on here think that Obama is a Satanic Iago who is the origin of all the current dysfunction.
But the reality is that Obama was a Diversity-Presenting continuation of the Bush/Clinton Regime. With the same Swamp advisors, and following the same Swamp policies.
It is NOT the tragedy of Sloe Joe - it is the tragedy of EVERY citizen of the USA!
Nobody cares about Sloe Joe and The Hoe!
If Sloe Joe and The Hoe cared about America and the American people, we’d be in a different place and savoring a healthy, FRee Republic!
That is PRECISELY why we MUST elect Donald J. Trump and a conservative House and Senate on November 5th!
DJT LOVES America and the American people!
That is all I need to know!
Besides telling the pathetic tale of Biden’s fragile, confused mind, this is a well written article, reminiscent of a long ago era when people like Buckley, Safire, Kirk, and Kristol (I) used to write such things.
Very interesting article, but the author assumes that history somehow proved Biden right in arguing against a robust surge.
Whether the full surge Biden opposed would have led to a satisfactory outcome will never be known. The force size being requested was the product of study of what it would take to accomplish the original strategy.
Due to Joe Biden, Obama arbitrarily cut the force level in half. That reduced level was not tied to a carefully analyzed plan — Obama just dictated a strategy knowing it was under-resourced, and almost sure to fail. This gave the advocates of a big surge every excuse to fail; it wasn’t what they had backed so they didn’t own it. Obama certainly wasn’t going to take responsibility.
Whatever he says now, you can bet that Biden kept the papers on this at the time as material for blaming Obama. That is what was “historical”. The decision was Obama’s, and he blew it. The rational choice was either go with the whole plan or abort. Instead Obama went with “heads the Taliban wins, tails we lose”. Biden is screwed because Obama worshippers will never allow fault to settle on Barry.
Interesting
I find the part of this story about the ‘Afghanistan Memos’ very hard to believe. Biden was NEVER that thoughtful nor did he care about America enough to press the point with his boss.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Joe Biden the Incompetent?
Regards,
Still no reconciliation of the Hur report with Biden’s ability to remain as president. If this were dont to Trump, it would be wall to wall coverage day and night...committee hearings, and then they’d get rid of Trump under the 25th amendment. Since Joe is the leader of the communist democrats, it’s move along, nothing to see here.
