Victor Davis Hanson: Bidengate and the Doom Loop
American Greatness ^ | 8 Jul, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/08/2024 5:07:33 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The more Biden avoids the media, the more the public considers him an inadequate president. Yet the more he might welcome more exposure, the more his ensuing dementia becomes apparent.

The entire 2019-20 Biden candidacy and subsequent presidency were predicated on a rotten Faustian bargain. A hale Joe Biden would feign his aw-shucks, Joe from Scranton schtick. And an ossified working-class Joe’s camouflage would get the hard left elected—especially thanks to the changes in balloting laws that often saw only 30 percent of the electorate voting on Election Day in key states.

In exchange, the two narcissistic Bidens would bask in the power and attention of the presidency. From the start, Jill and the media would orchestrate deep cover for Joe’s escalating dementia as well as the true intentions of the now-in-power radical Democratic Party with its neo-socialist agenda. The former Obama acolytes would get their long-dreamed-of third presidential term. And this time they would enact a truly radical agenda while their string puppet mumbled to everyone that he was just old, familiar Joe working for the middle class.

The problem, inter alia, with the ruse was that it was based on a complete lie to the American people. Joe Biden was nowhere near cognitively competent. He could not campaign “normally” in 2020. And it would be impossible for his dementia to go undetected even in the ceremonial duties of the presidency for four, perhaps even eight, more years.

And there were plenty of other problems that transcended even Biden’s mental confusion.

First, the new Obama agenda—hyperinflation, open borders, woke crime theories, destroying deterrence abroad, green extremist mandates—was further to the left of the American people than in 2016.

And worse, it was nihilist and destructive. By the August 2021 Kabul withdrawal humiliation...

Me thinks Joek gets coked up for his teleprompter readings. Notice how his cadence picks up, he slurs and skips ahead. His eyes are always black when he is peppy and blue when he is slow. Compare pictures from the two events.

When he is not coked up he talks quietly, mumbles and loses his train of thought.

There is nothing hearty and hale about him, just a drug infused facade.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Bidengate is far worse than Watergate. The media this time around was not exposing the wrongdoing of a conservative president but instead serving as a force multiplier in deceiving the very American people it was supposed to inform. “Democracy Dies in Deceit” is now the Washington Post’s de facto motto.

No matter who wins the election, the losing side is going to raise hell.

The Media: yes we did! Proud to have done it! Will do it again!

The media-liars are the greatest threat to this nation. We Americans should have been doing something about them for the last several decades, but we keep pretending they should be left alone.

I long ago reached the point where I thought we should be lobbing artillery shells at the media-liar organizations.

Lunch Box Joe. What a phony image that was.

He’s a con man, liar and swindler.

“We Americans should have been doing something about them for the last several decades, but we keep pretending they should be left alone.”

************

We Americans have become passive and accepting of things that are completely contrary to our beliefs and principles. We no longer seem to have the will and determination to assert ourselves, or even stand up for our own self-preservation.

Until that changes nothing will change.

...and this from the same “journalists” who used to insidiously shout “25th Amendment” during the Donald Trump years.

VDH's statement here should be shouted loudly. The people who told the masses that Trump should be 25th'd are the same people who told us all that Dementia Joe was doing just fine.

Oscar in Batabgas @5: "What if come the next debate, Ole Joe is completely sane and stable!"

For me, that concern is significantly below "What if Martians attack the two rovers still operating on Mars?

That Traitorjoe was suffering serious mental impairment during the 2020 campaign was obvious to any sentient voter.

On top of that should be the realization that voting for Traitorjoe to be elected was an act of giving and and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

And there is no statute of limitations on treason.

Covid changed everything.

They shutdown the economy, printed money and enabled mail-in voting (massive fraud).

Without covid Trump would have won easily.

These people will do anything to retain power. Anything.

And I believe a large part of this is the constant media-liar brainwashing we undergo every day.

They are simply a tool to keep the money flowing to the wealthy corporacrats running DC.

Yep, there’s a reason the DC area is so affluent. Its become a giant sink hole that sucks in money from around the country. Its a shame that most taxpayers cannot see for themselves where their hard earned money goes.

The sad thing about this mess is that our form of governance seems to have left out a solution for a rogue administration, guided by a cadaver who is led by marxists, hellbent on destroying the rule of law as an afterthought!

It is as if we are living in an asylum where monkeys are ruling?

Keep in mind that this decline or transformation started in 2008 just as Brack Husein Obbama was elevated to 'dear leader'!

Pence could have reversed this dilemma but the coward punted..

For 9 years I dated Maya’s doppelganger.
Same face, Hair, body...

I always realized that she was a sociopath but i always hoped that she would grow out of it.

It never happened...

Anyways it’s good not to have to compete against every other guy on the planet trying to steal her away from me..
:)....:(
