2022-07-20 Government Corruption
White House down
[NYPOST] As with nearly everything befalling his train wreck of a term (which has "just" 30 months to go!), Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
is guilty more of accelerating a corrosive trend than of causing it. He entered office notorious for his gift of the gaffe, a thin-skinned lemming so dull that when one of his presidential bids was torpedoed by a plagiarism scandal, it turned out he had chosen another mediocrity — former British Labour leader Neil Kinnock — to steal from.

Through a half-century of rhetorical misadventure, Biden has never been taken seriously — including by President Barack Obama
How much damage could he do in four years?... Eight, then...
, who, confoundingly, plucked Biden from the scrap heap to be his running mate after serving with him in the Senate ... and famously slipped an aide a "Shoot. Me. Now." note he’d scribbled during one of Biden’s logorrheic discourses. (Obama discouraged Biden’s yen to succeed him in 2016 and did not back the 2020 presidential bid until Biden had the nomination sewn up, even then cautioning Democrats, "Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f- -k things up.")

It is not just Biden but the presidency itself whose power to persuade, and just as important to instill fear in rogue regimes, has suffered diminution. Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
supporters concede that their man is not to be taken "literally," an epithet etched in stone even before two fraudulent months of post-election "stop the steal" claptrap triggered a riot at the Capitol — and it should not be ignored that Trump’s apparently imminent third bid for the presidency is premised not merely on maintaining the fiction but on making adherence to it a litmus test of loyalty

#1 This article is the kind of part truth but mostly fiction the left loves to read.

#2 ^ I agree. It says basically nothing we don't already know, then adds some shit about Trump's complicity in a 'riot'. The NY Post what can you expect?

#4 Andy must be a closet Trumpist:

It should matter when an American president speaks. But more than in words, credibility lies in a president’s demonstrated commitment — by behavior, by policy — to America’s vital interests. Even if there’s no hope for Biden, that means the bully pulpit can recover … with the right president.

But we had one, committed to America's vital interests, and who demonstrated results. But ... there were the mean tweets....

You're telling me Biden stole that election all by himself?
