Victor Davis Hanson: Is Biden Malicious, Incompetent, or Conniving?
American Greatness ^ | 5 Feb, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Things are so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters.

What Excites Biden?

Things are becoming so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters we now daily witness that are nearly destroying the country.

When the ailing and non-compos-mentis president now speaks, he rarely becomes excited about Iranian or terrorist provocations. Biden seems restrained even at Russia’s outlawry in Ukraine. The atrocities of Hamas now earn only measured objections from Biden. He does not seem too angered by the collapse of the border. Nor do the deaths of 100,000 Americans to imported fentanyl earn a loud trademark Biden scream.

No, what earns his unchecked ire, often expressed in shouts and hysterical tones, are Donald Trump and his supporters. Most recently, out of nowhere, Biden resurrected the old and proven falsehood that Trump had libeled the Normandy dead as losers and suckers. He then compounded that libel by claiming Trump’s supposed dismissal of the heroic dead was a grievous family insult to his own late son, who did not die either in combat or while in uniform but in 2015, tragically, from brain cancer.

During these anti-Trump fits, Biden wakes up and his face tightens up. He begins screaming, in uncharacteristic, animated fashion, anytime he can smear half the nation’s voters as “semi-fascists” and “ultra-MAGA” extremists. In private, he swears that Trump is a “f—ing asshole” and “sick f—k.” If only Biden substituted “cartel” or “Iran” or “Hamas” for “Trump” or “MAGA.” we might see an animate president.

A Borderless Nation.

‘Criminally corrupt’ is the term for which you seek, Vic.

The Big Guy...*and* his puppet masters...are enthusiastic co-conspirators in the Rat Party's aim to "fundamentally transform" this country.

It's all straight out of Rules For Radicals...word for word.

Many suspect the Democrats, at the last minute, are going to say "old Joe can't go," replace him with *someone else* and try to convince the electorate that all of THEIR negatives went away with Joe. Trump's strategy in response should be to not run against Joe, but against Joe's Democratic regime, so any regime replacement inherits the same negatives. One set of regime members deserve special treatment.

As some Democrats pointed out during Trump's last term, the 25th amendent, section 4, provides a mechanism for removing an unable, but unwilling to quit, president. The process starts when at least 8 of 15 specified Cabinet Secretaries (or if unavailable their acting heads) plus the VP jointly declare POTUS unable to continue. POTUS then gets a chance to accept, or to deny the claim. In which case Congress can keep him or remove him via 2/3 vote of both houses. But the process can only be started by VP Harris acting together with a majority of these 15 Cabinet Secretaries:

State
Blinken
Treasury
Yellen
Defense
Austin
Justice(AG)
Garland
Interior
Haaland
Agriculture
Vilsack
Commerce
Raimondo
Labor
Su
HHS
Becerra
HUD
Fudge
Transportation
Buttigieg
Energy
Granholm
Education
Cardona
VA
McDonough
Homeland Security
Mayorkas

"With great power comes great responsibility!" Whenever conservative press gets the chance to question any of the empowered sixteen, they should try to get them on the record whether they, who have the job with the responsibility to judge, think old Joe is still fit to be POTUS. Get them all on the record, ideally repeatedly. It will make good campaign ads should they reverse. "Hey, these had the power, but said no to removing old Joe. Until he was going to lose... All the while average Joes knew he was worthless. Now we see all Democrats are worthless! Why should we trust their endorsement of *someone else*? It would just be a different puppet run by the same deep state puppetmasters, with the same policies, and the same results."

The question is only relevant if Biden is actually running things, which I doubt.

The people behind him, however, are malicious.

When a citizen assumes an elected office he/she swears an oath to uphold and defend the law(Constitution)! If he/she violates that oath is that person violating the law? How is it that these oaths can be violated with impunity? Why have an oath? Why not just have the person say he will do his best?
