Biden’s Presidency Is a Scandal of Historic Proportions
Daily Signal ^ | May 19, 2025 | Jarrett Stepman |

The “presidency” of Joe Biden is one of the greatest scandals in American history. The legacy media is only now covering the mental incapacity of a president who apparently left the entire ship of state to the unaccountable bureaucracy.

On Friday, Axios released Friday night news dump audio of Biden’s 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

...

If you heard the tape and haven’t been in a coma for the past four years, then nothing here is truly surprising. The former president sounded senile and evasive when answering questions about his handling of top secret documents.

Some of my colleagues went through the full tapes and found that Biden “forgot the names of President Barack Obama’s former secretary of defense and comedian Jay Leno; referred to Africa as a country, not a continent; and was unaware he had in his possession a notebook with war advice in it for Obama during his interview with special counsel Robert Hur and investigators in October 2023.”

Biden certainly did not sound like someone who could be trusted to make large-scale national decisions or even small-scale personal ones.

This is entirely unsurprising unless you are a left-leaning corporate media journalist on the political beat. If you are, then I’m sure that the reports coming out about Biden in office are jaw-dropping, gob-smacking revelations to you.

The media elite are shocked, shocked to discover that Biden may have been unfit for office.

The release of these tapes was followed by a Sunday afternoon reveal that Biden has been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.

The cancer diagnosis is certainly a terrible thing. But the idea that this should end the story about what happened the last four years is a farce. It couldn’t be clearer now that due to mental and physical ailments, Biden was a diminished man from the moment he assumed the president’s office.

Despite some of the aforementioned elite journalists calling for a lid to be put on conversations about Biden’s presidency due to his health, the reality is the cancer diagnosis only raises more unsettling questions. Is this really a new diagnosis? Did Biden’s doctors really somehow miss the signs of treatable cancer?

And that makes this situation entirely unprecedented.

Yes, President Woodrow Wilson was at one point incapacitated during his final term in office, but that was at the tail end of his presidency. Wilson suffered a series of strokes after his highly energetic campaign to convince Americans to join the League of Nations. His wife and even some members of the media tried to cover it up, but ultimately the Democratic Party pulled the plug on his extremely brief flirtation with running for a third term.

There was no widespread attempt to fool the American people and ensure another term for an “almost catatonic” president, as one witness at George Clooney’s June fundraiser for Biden described the candidate.

This situation with Biden was much, much worse, the cover-up far more extensive, and the consequences were far more potentially dire in the age of instant communication and weapons capable of quickly destroying all of human civilization.

How shall we think of those years in which multiple crises developed around the globe, Americans were mass deprived of employment due to government-forced vaccinations, states were browbeaten to allow children to get life-altering hormones, and an ultimately victorious presidential candidate was nearly jailed?

I’ve tried to think of some apt historical comparisons.

President John Tyler was known to some of his more cantankerous critics as “his accidency,” due to being the first vice president to assume the president’s office after the death of the commander in chief. The attitude was that nobody actually elected him to become president, and in the early days of the republic the Constitution was a bit murky about whether he could just assume office or a new election must be held.

Regardless of the nickname, Tyler became an aggressive, active commander in chief—somewhat to the chagrin of many in his party.

But Biden was in some way the mirror opposite. Despite being elected in a highly contested election, he seems to have never really assumed his responsibilities. Biden’s lethargy was only matched by his lack of transparency.

The better word for Biden would be “his irrelevancy.”

While the 46th president’s handlers, most likely at the behest of former President Barack Obama, led him around in an extended real-world version of “Weekend at Bernie’s,” the federal apparatus operated on its own.

This was rule by “experts,” or really rule by the managerial class that re-created the old spoils system but made it totally unaccountable to the American people.

Decisions were carried out by vast, interlocking agencies at the behest of their Democratic Party allies whom they serve.

This was the first fully deep-state presidency.

Biden was awarded by the Democratic Party with the nominal career-capping title as president, but the functions and even the decisions demanded of his office were clearly distributed to his subordinates and the federal leviathan.

The result was a complete disaster.

Americans rightly lost faith in their leaders and the elite institutions attached to this corrupted apparatus. U.S. foreign policy was at best strategically adrift. Our enemies around the globe went on the march. The people feared the government more than the government feared them.

The upshot of these calamities is that we were delivered a national wake-up call at a time of crisis. A political counterrevolution is taking place that may have never happened had its depth not been revealed at least in part by the media’s cover-up of Biden’s obvious infirmity.

But even though the first 100-plus days of President Donald Trump couldn’t be more different than the four years of his predecessor, we can’t forget how bad things got, how much the legacy media covered for a senile president’s obvious incapacity, and how deeply threatening the permanent bureaucratic state is to American liberty.

To call the Biden presidency the worst in American history is a misnomer.

Joe Biden is an illegitimate President elected via massive vote fraud executed by people who wish to destroy America so it can be fundamentally rebuilt out of the ashes.

Biden is literally the Manchurian President for real.

Scandal, joke, tragedy, fraud, crime.

There’s no shortage of words to describe Joe Biden’s “presidency”.

There is, similarly, no shortage of words to describe the lying presstitute whores who aided and abetted it, but I can’t put most of them in a post on FR.

What if there was a huge scandal, but nobody was ever even arrested for it? Did it happen or not?

The truth. Biden was selected not elected. That’s the scandal no one in the media, including FNC, will admit.

It all went down hill from there.

And isn’t it just a coincidence that Biden now has been diagnosed as having end stage prostate cancer just as the media has suddenly discovered he’s been senile and demented all these years.

The upside is that despite having no legitimate or functional President we carried along decently. Now that we have a legitimate, high-functioning President, we may thrive.

Well, Biden WAS the worst person to ever assume the office of president. Biden’s always been a thief a liar and a foul mouthed little rat, definitely NOT presidential timber.

I’ll add the overarching word - DYSTOPIAN. We have been forced to exist in a dystopian society for eight long year. That time being created out of a scamdemic that instilled fear for our lives, locked us down, took our jobs, closed schools, isolated everyone from friends, family, co-workers and then poisoned the population with fake “vaccines.” Thus began the plan to upend everything that should be “normal” in civilized society. The list of offenses toward The People are legend and too numerous to list here. It will take decades to undo this damage. Maybe it will never again be the same. Bad actors should be jailed at a minimum. At a maximum, heads should roll. It was, and remains, the greatest act of treason and totalitarian oppression worldwide. The People did not overthrow these evil people - they overthrew The People. There can be no punishment too brutal for the people in the shadows of this worldwide cabal of destruction.

I’m sure virtually everyone reading this thread knew this years ago, and feel that the ‘media’ is playing catch-up to what has basically been common knowledge in conservative circles for a long time.

I suspect Bush the Younger was himself a stooge for a shadowy cabal — not much different than Obama and Biden.
