Like a drunk Orson Welles trying to get through a Paul Masson wine commercial, Joe Biden stumbled through a debate that could have been better handled by 99.98% of the sober population of the nation.
Post-debate, Biden had a window in which to turn things around. Instead, he held a (presumably) pre-scheduled conclave with his family to discuss the future of the campaign. It’s a move that understandably rubbed plenty of Democrats the wrong way and reinforced the idea that Jill and Joe’s sister were calling the shots. The worst possible response to the notion that Biden was selfishly remaining in the race was to have Biden family members as the decisionmakers. It harkened back to the Clinton era in the worst possible way.
Democrats were furious at reducing the party to a family business. And it got worse from there.
The Biden campaign held a session with donors and scheduled Biden for a media interview, but House Democrats and Dem governors have been unable to get hold of Joe Biden. And they’ve been going public with their irritation.
House Dems are starting to lash out and call for Biden to drop out. Soon the governors will be next.
All of that could have been averted by putting out the fires quickly, but Joe Biden isn’t capable of doing it or even aware of the need for it. His staff appears to have insulated him from what’s going on outside.
Biden has faltered at dealing with international and domestic crises, now he’s failing to reckon with a party crisis.
You can blame some of this on his mental state, but he learned from the best. Barack Obama was also terrible at networking, touching base and the basic ins and outs of politics. Biden was supposed to be his mentor in that area, but he was never the people person he likes to pretend he was and certainly isn’t now.
After the debate, Biden needed to have spent the next days touching base, thanking, calling and reassuring top supporters and key figures. Instead he once again went on vacation.
At the rate he’s going, he may end up having to stay there.
Good analogy to the Afghanistan withdrawal, this is the political version, from bad to worse due to mismanagement.
You must have 2 tabs and 2 Greenfield articles up at once
comments here do not always post accurately to correct article,
Thanks Cat!!!!!
Two, or three often. Greenfield is always a good read.
Every educated person has writers they like. Maybe he outgrew Dr Seuss.
You must be a Harry Potter fan.
Important message from the past to Biden, Jill, Obama, and Hillary and Pelosi and Schumer and the depraved corrupt democrat party …..
” The best laid plans of mice and men
oft go awry. ”
Robert Burns ..” To a Mouse” …. 1785
One of the best quotes … thanks !!!
Better than John Steinbeck, that’s for sure, and not a hint of socialism.
There is a little John Steinbeck museum in the very large MLK Jr public library on a corner of the SJSU campus that looks interesting, though. Naturally, it never seems to be open.
Whomever is actually running the show there in the oval should have their political credentials voided. Freely admitting that Joe is lucid between 10a and 4p, then scheduling him for a 90 minute debate starting at 9p sounds like something we conservatives would set up. They’ve been listening to their own rhetoric and breathing their own fumes too long.
It’s little wonder that Democrat mega-donors have dried up after “We’ve finally beat Medicare” was uttered. The blank, open-mouth stares didn’t help Joe’s cause either. The whole thing felt like murder by debate for me, as if it all was planned.
I hope Joe stays in the race (as does DJT) because no one will be easier to beat…but I wonder if “Dr” Jill, Hunter and the innumerable handlers realize how much incompetence it took to make me feel bad for Joe. Elder abuse is a very real thing and there’s no prosecutorial immunity for the first lady.
🇺🇲 TRUMP ’24 🇺🇲
Hey Navy ….
..” murder by debate …”
That’s a good one …. a precisely concise true statement.
Truly, Power Corrupts … and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely, morally and otherwise.
Biden and the Biden family never learned some basic truths.
They are going to learn them now.
Sleazy Joe was corrupt from day one.
Pedo Joe deserves to be abused and in my opinion, Alzheimer’s is too good for him. The evil old buzzard deserves to feel that he’s dying.
Definitely elder abuse. His self aggrandizing wife is using him for the prestige of being the fake first lady.
neither 0bama, biden nor any Dim has ever GAS about reaching out to anyone, it’s a tightly controlled party, kept in power thru election manipulation.
There is no turning around dementia. The Empire of Lies is crumbling. Even Jake Tapper is quoting 1984, “The party told you to reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command.” Tapper says this after an after an entire career of doing exactly that. Sometimes these assholes are just too much.
James Crapper is only saying that because he knows Alzheimer Joe has no chance of beating Trump legitimately and vote cheating isn’t going to be as easy this time around. And yes, these assholes are definitely too much. He lied about Slow Joe’s dementia for over three and a half years and tried to cover it up, along with the rest of the fake news media. Now he finally realizes what a liability Joke Bidumb is for the D-Bags like him. No foresight. Typical left-wing scumbag.
he needs to get his most devoted sycophant on the job , who else but morning joe . he will have him on top of the ratings in no time .
Morning Banjo Joe has already turned on him. But only because he knows Alzheimer Joe is unelectable. He spent the previous three and a half years lying that Joetard is extremely mentally acute.
All of that could have been averted if he had kept to his statements in 2020 that he would only serve a single term. Not only did he go back on that (pathological liar that he is) but his team worked assiduously to keep any challenger off the ballot in the primaries so that Dem voters might have a say in the process.
He’s prop. Everyone around him has known he is unfit his entire fraud presidency. We have been lied to ad nauseum. What is going on here is the biggest scandal in our Nation’s history and quite a few people need to be brought to justice and go to jail. But that will never happen because we no longer have justice in our Nation.
The fact is that since 2020 Biden has been as close to being a corpse as is physically possible,
without actually being dead.
President Abraham Lincoln was more alive when he was carried out of Ford’s Theater
than Biden has been for years.
Ignoring these facts will hopefully soon spell out the obituary of the woke leftist depraved corrupt democrat party.
It was just mentioned on the news yesterday that several of our largest government buildings are operating at under 20% occupancy mind you 80% of these government employees are getting paid to stay home since the early days of Covid the wasteful democrats just can’t get them to return to work. They wonder why they are referred to as the swamp, democrats have made a laughing stock out of tax payers hard earn dollars. This just reflects that democrat leadership does not exist most in DC positions have never had to made payroll keep up benefits or face any type of real responsibility right up to the top who is joe Biden, who by the way only works from 10 to 4 his logs, still only puts in about 6 months out of each year….. Government waste has to stop we are 35 trillion in debt and still climbing, what are the democrats crying about why of course Trump, Supreme court, they have lost their minds since the public exposure of brain dead leadership .If common sense Government is not restored we will not have American values to call our own it staring to change in France they want their country to remain French loss of couture identity is a big deal now in Europe while here in America we are looking for safe streets lower crime controlled borders and fiscal responsibility all thing that are not part of the democrat agenda, vote these radical do nothings off the tax roles and return America to the tax payers.
10 to 4 minus nappy time. He probably only “works” 4 hours a day, although he spends more time on vacation than wandering around lost in the Oval Office. He’s like a pollack in a round room trying to pee in a corner.
What is truly troubling is that the American demographics and electorate have so drastically changed for the worse over the past 30 years.
That alone should be enough to scare the hell out of responsible patriotic US citizens, regardless the political party and ideology.
In addition, the American political ruling class oligarchy and the bureaucratic state could care less as long as they continue to possess the wealth and power. to live and do and mandate as they chose.
In many ways America has become as sick and old as Biden.
Unfortunately, you are correct. The leftist march through the institutions has been completed, resulting in mass indoctrination in all spheres of life and absolute, mind-numbing, off the charts, dead-ass, unbridled stupidity in large segments of the population. On the bright side, there is at least now a nascent movement to turn things around.
Institutions do not get uncaptured.
America is less sick and old than she is under siege.
Hell, American demographics and the (illegal) electorate has changed so drastically in the last three years that it scares the hell out of me. Add the other twenty seven and yes, I’m scared.
While the GOP and conservatives should attack the candidate, it is far more important this election to attack the democrat policies that Obama promulgated and whose acolytes continued in the current Obama/Biden admin. These include weaponization of the Federal Agencies, transgender activism, tilt to Iran, antipathy towards Israel, inflammation of racial hatred, hatred of police and their defunding, inflation, open borders, and lawfare. It is critical not only to handle any candidate that may be thrust upon the ballot but also to educate the general population so that the GOP and conservatives can combat the down ballot Senate, House, and local elections as well.
“Democrats were furious at reducing the party to a family business. And it got worse from there.”
That is all it has ever been with the Biden family and many others. As we lose our Christian moral center, the brazenness of the grift increases. The new morality uses power against its enemies and the citizenry.
Biden wades deeper into the Swamp and it gets worse for him and his supporters
I am no fan of Trump but the truth is that if Trump had withdrawn from Afghanistan the way Biden did, with Americans dying in the process, Democrats in Congress would have held a another Trump impeachment hearing, with good reason.
The Democrats covered Biden for the Afghanistan Debacle because he is a Democrat. That was politics, pure and simple.
For me, that withdrawal, the way it was done, and the consequences of that withdrawal, is all the proof we need that Biden is totally incompetent and should not be running for another term. He should not even be President now.
Why aren’t you a fan of Trump, the best President since Theodore Roosevelt?
Biden as definitively announced, in no uncertain terms, that is in this race until the end. So… maybe Monday? Who knows.
Break a hip, Joe! ER, I meant break a leg.
Just kidding, I hope he drops dead.
DEMS being the sociopathic perverts that they are would love to kill Biden for convenience reasons.
And I would like to root them on in their deviancy.
BUT………..the DEM/Communists will then blame Trump and his MAGA supporters for the murder.
No matter how much we kowtow to the DEM psycho movement…………DEMS are gonna force us into a a civil war.
I wonder who the .2% of Americans who couldn’t do a better job than Alzheimer Joe are? It can’t be people in graveyards because at least corpses can’t screw things up. I reckon it’s the Sam Brintons and Rachel Levins of the country.
“House Democrats and Dem governors have been unable to get hold of Joe Biden. And they’ve been going public with their irritation.”
Are those morons the only people in America who don’t know Alzheimer Joe doesn’t make any decisions and is incapable of doing so?
