As Biden & Co. leave, they're doing their best to trash the country they claimed to serve
[NY Post] President Biden and his staff are going out guns blazing — all barrels blasting away to do as much damage as possible to America before they go.

Just look at the dirty-laundry list Joe (or whoever’s actually making the decisions) has rammed through as his last days tick down.

More bans on drilling for oil and gas, even after his war on domestic energy helped cripple America strategically and inflict massive price pain at the pump and elsewhere.

How much damage will Joe & Co. do?

Heck, he even moved to squeeze natural-gas exports.

That’s as the administration agreed to yet another inane Paris Accord climate goal to drive down US emissions by close to 70% by 2035.

If any of that holds — and the White House insists drilling ban, for one, will be tough to roll back — expect yet more suffering for Joes not named Biden.

The White House also loosened visa requirements for foreign workers while inking a labor agreement with federal union that will let more than 40,000 Social Security Administration employees stay hybrid.

Plus, the clemency avalanche, starting with the blanket pardon for crooked son Hunter that Joe promised he would never give, followed by hundreds of commutations for vile bribe-takers, con artists and other sleazoids — as well as letting literal child murderers dodge the death penalty.

Don’t forget the $4.28 billion in student debt relief Biden OK’d just before Christmas (a present for the affluent paid for by the poor: classic progressivism!).

Or the last-minute drive from the White House to throw all the billions from the CHIPS Act and other prog boondoggles out the doors and windows while they still can.

Or the veto of a bipartisan bill to expand the federal judiciary to un-clog key courts, which the Bidenites turned against because they wouldn’t get to pick the new judges.

It’s clear from the scope and energy of these plans that Joe himself (who can barely stay awake for a full workday) isn’t the chief force behind any of it: It’s staffers driving the car here.

The same staff who’ve been calling most shots for four disastrous years, and so led to a historic and humiliating defeat for Democrats.
