Joe Biden thought he could outlast his enemies within the party. But with no money, a base in revolt, no friends on the Hill, and top Democrats allegedly threatening to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him if he didn’t quit, the president threw in the towel. Biden vowed only God could take him off the Democratic ticket; he wasn’t listening. It was a weird exit, followed by even more bizarre antics that have rehashed the cover-up narrative about this presidency, one that will likely follow long after he’s left office.
First, let’s talk about Biden’s departure: though historic, it was one of the sloppiest exits from the presidency. It was an X post of his “I’m done” letter, and that’s it. There was no photo—you’d think the White House photographer would capture something to document this event for the public. I’ll give Biden a pass on an address to the country due to his COVID diagnosis, but we haven’t seen the president in days. Is Biden even still alive? These aren’t unfair questions, especially since he’s delegating some of his authority to Cabinet secretaries.
Who’s running the country?
Yesterday, he called into Kamala Harris’ campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, where he sounded awful. The president, who was on speakerphone, sounded slurry, his delivery labored, and Harris, who later took the podium, almost slipped up, saying, “Joe, I know you're still on the rec–-call.” Was it a recording?
Given how the Biden White House and the media actively worked to cover up the president’s mental health decline, all theories are sadly on the table. They tried to sneak a man who’s lost the abilities necessary for executive function, which only got exposed when Biden imploded against Donald Trump during the first debate on June 27, back into the office.
It's a fitting end to these chaotic four years. Biden's primary domestic accomplishment was making everyone poorer than they were four years ago. He also dithered on the supply chain crisis, reduced our strategic petroleum reserves to nothing, and decided to hurl this nation into a lengthy proxy war against an opponent armed with nuclear weapons. Yet, that's not Biden's crowning achievement abroad. It's not even our ignominious and shambolic exit from Afghanistan: he wrecked our relationship with Israel. Weakness, over-confidence, and arrogance oozed from this failed presidency that's thankfully dead.
Biden was a man who was never qualified to be president and never possessed the skills, rode on a pandemic wave into the White House, and ran the country into the ground. The adults in the room were morons—all his Cabinet picks were from the discount aisle. “America is back,” except no one believed it because Joe was never Mr. Charisma. He ran twice before and lost; there’s a reason for that. Barack Obama, who, despite his awful agenda possessed the political acumen to do the job, knew Biden wouldn’t fare well, which is why he backed Hillary Clinton so early—a source of lingering resentment for the former vice president.
Being president takes more than just posting on social media or delivering a speech. Biden had to do the work, and new reports showed he couldn’t do it. When it came to whipping congressional Democrats to push his agenda, Nancy Pelosi and others had the gift of the gab, not him.
There is that saying that someone can be a good man and a terrible president. Former President Jimmy Carter, who will likely outlive Biden, is a prime example. I do think Carter is a good man. But Biden is a terrible person and a terrible president, which is the equivalent of political pancreatic cancer for the country. He, his son, Hunter, Lady Macbeth, Jill Biden, and the rest of these degenerates used the White House as their ATM machine. Biden refuses to acknowledge one of his grandchildren, attacks other people who rightly point out his appalling and glaring shortcomings, and is overall a cranky bastard who thinks he is right only because he’s been around for a long time. Biden has the unenviable record of being dead wrong on all things foreign policy for the past 40 years. All he did was get elected from a deep blue state a bunch of times and lead the “high-tech lynching” of a black man he didn’t like—Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
If it were up to Biden, Osama bin Laden would still be alive—he opposed the raid that led to his death by US Special Forces. His mark on the Senate Judiciary is one of weaponizing the committee. And we can’t feel bad for him for losing his son to brain cancer since he exploited his dead son any chance he could get, even for wholly unrelated tragedies, like the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Biden's grief peddling hides the flaw of being a third-rate political talent who was always the butt of jokes. He was laughed at on the Hill and worldwide as people saw a decrepit, old, stupid man thinking he was in charge.
And the White House did an excellent job covering that until last June. What else did they cover up? Who ran the country? Because right now, it’s obvious that Joe is not in charge. You can shield only so much incompetence and failure from the public. The good news is this miserable failure of a human being and his band of drug-addicted, power-hungry degenerates will soon be gone, but sadly, not for a few more months.
