Biden’s ideas for re-opening America are painfully obvious and insipid

If Joe Biden weren’t such a corrupt, dissolute, politically vicious man, one might feel sorry for him as he simultaneously battles irrelevance and dementia while locked away in his home in Delaware. As it is, watching Biden public decay is the equivalent of watching someone take Dorian Gray’s picture out of the attic and place it in front of a television camera.

It doesn’t help Biden when his campaign churns out bland, meaningless bits of political pabulum that are meant to read as profound insights into public policy during a challenging time in America. The latest example is an opinion piece in the New York Times that purports to be Biden’s “plan to safely reopen America.” (This link is to the same article at MSN if the Times piece is behind a paywall.)

I use the word “purports” because there’s nothing in the writing that echoes Biden’s actual voice. It’s very much the work of a staffer and not a very bright one at that. Still, it has Biden’s name attached to it and the phrase “my plan,” so we’ll pretend he wrote it.

Here is Biden’s brilliant plan, distilled, paragraph by paragraph, to its essence:

1. Attack Trump.
2. Work on getting a vaccine for COVID-19.
3. Use social distancing to stop COVID-19’s spread.
4. Use the Defense Production Act.
5. Attack Trump.
6. Have more testing.
7. Attack Trump.
8. Work on producing anti-body tests.
9. Attack Trump.
10. Prepare hospitals for future COVID-19 flare-ups.
11. Re-open businesses, while expecting a gradual return to normal.
12. Talk to leaders in the private sector about ways for businesses to keep their employees safe.
13. Attack Trump.
14. Have OSHA work on ways to keep employees safe.
15. Focus on the racism inherent in COVID-19’s spread.
16. Work on a vaccine.
17. Attack Trump.
18. It’s all Trump’s fault.
19. I will do better.

Here is Biden’s brilliant plan....

Doubtful, he’s to stupid and confused. He probably thinks covid-19 is corn pops brother.

This guy is running for president from his basement?

That’s creepy

“Painfully obvious and insipid” — pretty well sums up all the Dem-Socs.

Biden would have stood on the West coast with his pump shotgun. After he racked the slide a few times Covid-19 would have fled back to China.

Creepy basement guy trying to get out of the basement...

It’s painfully obvious that Joe Biden is well past his prime.

Even in his prime he was insipid.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yup. That kind of sums Joe up in a nutshell.

Painfully obvious and insipid.

[Savage Beast]

But Biden himself is painfully obvious and insipid. The honest and intelligent have known that since 1987 and the Bork confirmation hearings.

Campaigning from the basement sounds like a decent strategy to attract millenials.
