The Trouble(s) With Joe
We knew it would be bad, but did even Republicans, even conservatives, think it would be this bad? We knew the 2020 presidential election would be special for a host of reasons, the most glaring being the COVID-19 pandemic. But there were other things as well. Never in the history of the presidency has one man appeared to have so much hatred heaped upon him as Donald Trump. Let’s just call it what it is, pathological. While Democrats and the media spent their time accusing Donald Trump of being a Russian spy and accusing him of violating every federal law they could think of just to prove some smidgeon of corruption to A. remove him from office so B. he could never run for any office ever again, an interesting thing was happening. Prior to the pandemic, the economy was thriving, unemployment was low for just about every demographic you could think of, our allies knew they could depend upon a strong America, and our enemies at least made an effort not to get on our bad side.
But then, Joe Biden was elected, or at least, so we are told. Everyone has theories about what might have taken place on election night, but that is another discussion. Joe Biden did what every president from a different party than his predecessor does, he issued executive orders. But whether he really believed he was doing the right thing, or because he just wanted to reverse anything Donald Trump had done just because he had been the one to do it, who knows. Given Joe Biden’s mental state, he might not know. But that is where it started.
The problem is, we knew exactly who Joe Biden was, at least conservatives did. And we tried to tell people who he was. We have had 50 years to get to know him because that is how long he has been a government employee. Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. In 1988, he ran for president, the first time. It did not end well. He was forced to suspend his campaign because he had blatantly plagiarized a speech originally given by U.K. Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock. It wasn’t Biden’s first attempt at plagiarism. He was caught plagiarizing portions of a paper as a first-year law student.
Fast forward to July 2022. Joe Biden is roughly 18 months into his presidency, and the question many Americans are asking is, can we survive the rest of Joe Biden’s presidency? Inflation is at a 40-year high, the average price of a gallon of gas is $4.67. Food prices are skyrocketing, and if you know what’s good for you, don’t sneak a peek at your 401K. It’s not pretty. Can America withstand another 30 months of Joe Biden’s bumbling and shuffling through his presidency?
As Joe Biden campaigned from his basement, it was clear that something was wrong. But again, for Democrats, the media, and anyone who considered themselves superior to the unwashed MAGA crowd, it was about purging the White House of all things Trump. So, the media went about diligently covering for Joe. But as the economy has worsened, as crime in American cities has risen, and as American foreign policy has reverted to something like Obama-era “leading from behind,” even the media has realized, they can no longer cover for Joe. The New York Times recently declared their belief that Joe Biden should not run again in 2024 because he will be too old. They reported how aides described him as ‘shuffling when he walks,” being afraid he will “trip on a wire,” and holding their breath, waiting to see if he can get through public appearances “without a gaffe.”
But it’s not just Joe. It’s the entire Biden family that is awash in dysfunction and corruption. Joe’s brother Jim and son Hunter have been involved in shady business dealings all over the world, most notably, China. We recently learned that Joe Biden sold off some of America’s strategic oil reserves to a Chinese gas company that Hunter Biden’s private equity firm had a stake in to the tune of $1.7 billion. Joe Biden has been caught lying several times now, about having spoken to Hunter about his sketchy overseas dealings, and perhaps has been involved in them making him severely compromised. And Hunter, oh Hunter. As far as anyone can tell, even though he went to law school, his main occupation is smoking crack and spending money Joe has wired him on Russian hookers. Russian hookers? You don’t say… It is likely a safe bet that more of Hunter Biden’s escapades with Russian ladies of the evening will be emerging.
Poor Hunter. He seems to not get along very well with his stepmother, Dr. Jill either. When Jill suggested that Hunter do a stint in rehab, Hunter apparently was not warm on the idea and said to Hallie, his late brother Beau’s wife, who he was dating at the time, “F–k my stepmother for always being as much of a selfish silly entitled c–t as you.” Hunter has also referred to Jill as a “vindictive moron.” As if all this wasn’t enough, Dr. Jill has her own problems. On Monday, while speaking to the “LatinX IncluXion” in San Antonio, not only did she not bother to confirm the pronunciation of the word “bodega,” but she told the Hispanic community they were as unique as “breakfast tacos.” Let’s just hope she is not scheduled to speak at an NAACP function. She might compare diversity in the black community to fried chicken. The Bidens make the Clintons look like amateurs.
As Joe Biden heads to Saudi Arabia this week to beg the Saudis for oil, perhaps we should keep a comment former President Barack Obama once made about his Vice President in mind, “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.”
