Weekend at Joe Biden's

By now, everyone has either seen the movie Weekend at Bernie's, knows something about the plot, or has heard Gov. Ron DeSantis refer to the movie in characterizing Joe Bidens’ presidency.

Two enterprising co-workers are staying at a beach house owned by their boss, Bernie. They are unaware that he has contracted to have them killed, but the plan goes awry, and Bernie is the one killed. The buddies continue their vacation by pretending Bernie is still alive. The movie is insanely funny because the action calls for Bernie's corpse to appear in various settings to make it seem as if he is simply drunk, tired, or passed out—anything but dead. 

A Sad State of the Union

It is quite sad that the installed president of the U.S., Joe Biden, emulates many aspects of the role played by Bernie. Even with a cue card in his hand, addressing a tiny supportive group in a non-pressure setting with staff all around him, Biden often cannot finish sentences.

As we’ve witnessed, Biden will make references to something that happened yesterday, which simply did not happen at all. The sycophants all around him act as if everything is normal. They applaud on cue. They pretend that Biden maintains an aura of power and invincibility while they intentionally overlook or downplay his abnormal behavior, twisted thoughts, and inane ramblings.

Whereas the press has sought to scorch President Trump 24/7/365 for eight years running, Biden gets free pass after free pass. Even after the presidential debate in late June fully exposed the world of his condition, once Biden insisted he’s not dropping out of the race, the enabling mainstream press ignored their duty to be the fourth estate.

Lying for a Living

At one point during Trump’s presidency, The Washington Post published an article claiming that Trump had uttered 30,000 lies or misleading statements. Yet, there is no corresponding index for Joe Biden who incessantly utters demonstrable, proven lies.

Joe Biden offers outright falsehoods with regularity. He was in the top half of his class. He was in jail with Nelson Mandela. He marched for civil rights. His relative got eaten by cannibals. His son Beau died in battle. Trump wants to be a dictator and end Democracy. Give Biden some time, and he’ll launch gross lies about the attempted assassination of last week.  

What will historians say about 2024, decades or even centuries from now, when comprehensive video footage of Joe Biden will continue to exist in some form? Our descendants will see a pitiful character, one who had no business leading the U.S., let alone being a candidate for president once again. 

Biden’s wife covers for him 24/7. Without such aid, his lapses would appear even worse. How many times did Melania Trump have to cover for Donald Trump in his four years? You guessed it, never. How many times did Michelle Obama have to cover for Barack Obama? Not once. How many times did Laura Bush have to cover for George W. Bush? Zero times.

Pollsters Who Pollute

Could Biden serve even at the lowest levels of government? No. Yet legions of people on the Left will vote for him regardless, including never-Trumpers, the hopelessly brainwashed, and progressive/socialist zealots.

Many pollsters indicate that Donald Trump is leading in six of seven or seven of seven swing states, but by small margins. This is a facade concocted to make Biden appear as a serious contender and within reach of Donald Trump. Trump's lead is probably double digits in all seven swing states.

This we know: regardless of the lead that Donald Trump maintains in the swing states, Democrats will cheat in ways that make 2020 look like child's play. No matter how decrepit Joe Biden becomes, the Leftist fraud machine will be in full swing to tout the supposed mental fitness and wide-ranging accomplishments of Joe Biden. 

This is a low point in U.S. history. Throughout our 248-year history, we have faced mortal enemies, largely overcome social inequities, and otherwise addressed pressing issues. Where exactly does propping up a crooked politician with certifiably high levels of dementia belong? 

The Grandest Lie of Our Age

Along with so many lies Americans have been told by the Left in recent years, related to CoVID, the border, international relations, inflation, child indoctrination, women's sports, supply chains, and transportation mishaps, the implicit lie that Joe Biden is mentally and ethically fit to serve as U.S. president is the grossest, most foul, most egregious, and most damning lie of all.
