“But the idea that we did not know about this for the years leading up to the presidential campaign, we all saw it with our own eyes, video after video, speech after speech statement after statement, the Hurr report, the fact that we had people saying today, ‘oh, I didn’t know, we had no idea, is outrageous.’ That’s number one. Number two, the cover-up is outrageous. And number three, people were arguing with a straight face that this man could serve four more years until, of course, it became untenable at the debate,”
– Scott Jennings
In my view, people need to be jailed for this travesty.
Well, besides the fact that he hasn’t yet suspended the constitution, he hasn’t rounded up and imprisoned his enemies, journalists, or any Biden/Harris supporters or acted on any of the other many calamities we were warned would immediately happen if he got into office and our democracy remains intact.
Instead, we saw immediate Executive Order actions on a number of topics. All imperative actions for the betterment of our nation and ALL of them directly and immediately addressing promises he made to the American people.
NOW, instead of automatically expecting our clueless leader to hide out in the basement and avoid any scenarios that would require him to answer for his actions, then call a “lid” by 10am and retreat to the Delaware beach for another 4 day vacation, we get this:
Since I was out cutting trees today, I am still digesting all that was completed. All in all, it was an extremely impressive display of preparation, determination and clearly demonstrated what an effective administration can be. You may not agree on these actions but that is irrelevant. He was overwhelmingly elected to do what he said he would – and surprisingly, he actually is!
But I guess, not all of it was good.
“Democrats have been warning the American people for decades about this,” one analyst said. “They’ve warned that Republicans would put senior citizens out on the street. Now, we’re seeing it play out in real life. It’s sad.”
It is NO wonder that he was unable to implement any positive changes for the American people – while he had no problem executing his shady deals to pad his own pockets.
That staggering tally includes R&R 43 of the 70 days — or 61% — after being pressured by fellow Dems in July 21 to drop his re-election bid.
Biden’s relaxation ratio outstripped the previous Vacationer-in Chief, George H.W. Bush, who spent 37% of his presidency — 543 of 1,461 days – away from the White House. Biden’s out-of-office ratio far surpasses time off taken by Trump — who spent 26% of his first term away from Washington, D.C. — 381 of his 1,461 days in office, records show.
This just plainly illustrates, (yet again), how much everyone was being gas lit the past several years. And likely reflects the ever growing disgust with the elite Democrats who tried to insult everyone’s intelligence and claim that this wasn’t the case when it was plainly obvious to anyone (with intact and functioning brain cells) that it most definitely was!.
Personally, I never thought he had a chance for a positive legacy. Especially now that all of the machinations behind the scenes to protect his image are being exposed and prompting the public to ask what is really going on?
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.’s obituary will be stalked by the counterfactual: What if he hadn’t made the selfish decision to run for reelection? What if he had passed the torch a year or even six months earlier?
That makes for a grim parlor game.
The way that events unfolded—his catastrophic debate performance, the stark clarity with which the nation came to understand his geriatric state–-beggars belief. Why didn’t Democrats stage an intervention earlier? Why didn’t his aides stop him from running?
The absurd premise of the Biden reelection campaign, that it made sense for the nation to trust itself to a president who would finish his term at the age of 86, invites conspiratorial explanations.
There’s no need to go searching for hidden scandals, however, because the visible one is sufficiently terrible. Democrats ignored a cascade of warning signs.
The evidence that Biden wasn’t fit for a second term was abundantly clear in his public appearances—and in the public appearances that he studiously avoided. Advisers knew that Biden’s instinct was always to invest faith in his own capacities, but they never made a concerted effort to talk him back from his decision to run, until it was far too late.
Donald Trump is now THEIR legacy too.
This seems to be another of a long string of admissions from progressive media and appears to indicate they finally recognize the damage they’ve inflicted on the nation and are looking for redemption. I can’t imagine The Atlantic ever making such statements as little as 6 months ago.
That’s great for The Atlantic. They’ve recognized their problem. BUT,… that’s the first step of their redemption path. However, I won’t be rushing out for a subscription.
As my father used to say (paraphrasing):
It only takes a minute to lose someone’s trust but it will take a long time to gain that trust back.
At least, they are making an attempt. Maybe too little too late, but they’re trying. Sadly, there remains too many more who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge what has happened and continue to repeat what has been thoroughly debunked.
The exposé by the Wall Street Journal in December revealed how the White House had meticulously managed Biden’s public appearances and shielded his cognitive decline from the public. Under the guise of COVID precautions, his team created an impenetrable bubble around him, controlling his schedule and keeping him in a largely ceremonial role. His staff reportedly handles most of the administrative duties, ensuring Biden avoids unscripted moments that could expose his limitations. This manufactured image has allowed Democrats to maintain the illusion of competence while the president has become a figurehead in his own administration.
CBS News legal correspondent Jan Crawford acknowledged that major media outlets significantly downplayed Biden’s cognitive decline:
“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” Crawford lamented. “It could have changed the scope of the entire election. Yet still, incredibly, we read in The Washington Post that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, that he thinks he could have beaten Trump. And I think that is either delusional or they’re gaslighting the American people.”
My glaring question is who exactly did that illusion of competence work on? I know some of the faithful who will diligently echo every approved narrative – even when they don’t believe it but I would like to think that a vast majority of adults (with working senses) were able to see through that smokescreen.
It might be that the competence they were referring to related to their voters and supporters and they wished to make them still appear to be sane. It didn’t work.
All the while, gaslighting was maxed well into meltdown stage. It’s just astounding that they thought this would actually work. It’s even more astounding that their supporters went along with it. Who (with any remaining dignity) would actually believe this fairy tale?
One of the gaslighting leaders was senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, who spent the entire campaign telling anyone who would listen how sharp as a tack Biden was and he regularly ran circles around everyone while working late into the evening. Never mind that many reports were emerging at the time that he had spent over 40% of his term on vacation.
For most working stiffs, 2 or 3 weeks/year is about the most vacation time anyone can expect. So, it should not be a surprise that honest working people rejected someone who demands full loyalty and compliance while taking 20+ weeks off while in the process of decimating our republic.
But, the worst of that was what was actually happening behind the scenes as Schumer disclosed:
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), has now revealed to The New York Times that he pointedly urged Biden to drop out of the race during a private meeting July 13.
“If you run and you lose to Trump, and we lose the Senate, and we don’t get back the House, that 50 years of amazing, beautiful work goes out the window,” Schumer told Biden bluntly, according to the Times, which reported the “tense” encounter from the New York lawmaker’s point of view.
“But worse — you go down in American history as one of the darkest figures,” Schumer admonished Biden.
At least he got that final part right.
For a simple example of the obvious decline that everyone saw, examine this exchange below between Biden and house speaker Mike Johnson that occurred back a full YEAR ago.
The speaker recalled, “I said, Mr. President, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? You understand you’re fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine because they’ve got to get their gas from him.”
“I didn’t do that,” Biden insisted.
But, in fact, the executive order had been signed just weeks earlier.
Johnson recounts the surreal moment when he offered to have Biden’s staff print out the executive order so they could read it together. It was only then that Biden vaguely acknowledged it.
But when Johnson pressed further, it became evident that the President had no grasp of the executive action, and Johnson was left “with fear and loathing.”
“I thought we’re in serious trouble. Who is running the country?” Johnson questioned. “Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know.”
This exchange underscores a chilling reality — a president who not only is struggling to remember critical decisions, but is also unable to engage fully in high-stakes discussions with national security implications. The fact that Biden, despite his decades of experience, was so out of the loop on an issue as fundamental as energy exports points to a worrying trend that many have long suspected: Biden is not (and likely never was) fully in charge.
Actually, the debate results ushered in the era where most DID see through this BS and is why we saw the electoral college results as well as the popular vote, the Senate, the House, and many state level victories.
The only thing that hasn’t occurred yet is for all those who have been proven wrong to fess up and admit it. I see that some are now admitting it but it will be quite a while before they are believed again.
The “Rule of Law” doesn’t apply because this is (D)ifferent!
When MAGA cultists complain about a “weaponized justice system,” remind them that President Biden has refused to show favoritism towards his son because he has a commitment to the rule of law and our judicial system, regardless of who is involved.https://t.co/uDXcsOjYXf – The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) June 7, 2024
Ummm, not quite. Is anyone still surprised at this point?
Now that the pardon has been announced, let’s just look forward to when Hunter and any others to follow start singing like canaries.
Democrats are corrupt to the core and the voters who supported them are exposed as being out of touch with reality more with each passing day.
Try to make it through this menagerie of hypocrisy (below) to the end and count how many times they reaffirm how superior they are over Trump, Republicans and their voters because they are so truthful and always follow the rule of law:
In the clip, I counted 19 instances where they brought up the contrast (key word of the day) between the noble, rule-of-law adherence of Saint Biden, compared to the disgruntled threats to democracy of Trump. I can understand Biden’s change of heart – except that he always intended to do so and continued to lie about it.
But, what I find completely nauseating is the media’s constant, holier-than-thou superiority complex on any topic before them – that always crashes in flames. Yet they keep it up thinking people still listen to them.
Of course, their solution is to simply deny that Biden lied and all of their faithful unthinking drones will eagerly nod along in agreement – while once again belittling anyone who does not follow along. It is getting exceedingly tiresome.
Charlamagne tha God explains from his recent appearance on The View:
“I think all of the criticism is valid because Democrats stand on this moral high ground all the time and, you know, they act so self-righteous, with their holier-than-thou rhetoric. They’re the ones that go out there and they stand on moral high ground. They don’t have to do that.”
Actually, I’ve changed my mind, Trump should go after and jail each and every one of these admitted hypocrites.
Tone deaf headline of the year:
Hurt Obama Bros Whine About Biden’s Pardon of Hunter – ‘Now Everyone Looks Stupid’
NOW??? Again, this is not a surprise to those of us paying attention, but once again exposes the incomprehension of the terminally misinformed mentioned above. To them, we’ve just come full circle and this will just evolve from the laptop that didn’t exist to a newer revised crimes that don’t exist, as they plod along into oblivion.
“When you become president, your role is to put the nation first, and here we have a president who is putting his family first. It also shows a degree of contempt for the American people,… He didn’t just simply lie about not ever speaking to his son’s business associates, of never being in meetings with them. He lied repeatedly to the American people when he was a candidate for reelection.”– Jonathon Turley
More on that…
The president has discussed pardoning his son with some of his closest aides at least since Hunter Biden’s conviction in June, said two people with direct knowledge of the discussions about the matter. They said it was decided at the time that he would publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table. – NBC
SO, it was a conscious decision to BS the public and even those “in the know” are admitting it. He knew it could hurt his reelection chances, so they decided he would simply lie rather than admit what was happening behind the scenes.
With that, let’s recall this tasty quote from 2018 that will soon be buried – because that’s what they do:
“The Congress ought to know whether the president is using the pardon power to obstruct justice. The American people have a right to know. This legislation is clearly constitutional. It doesn’t prohibit him from granting a pardon, even a pardon he shouldn’t grant, but it does say we will be able to at least find out whether the president is using this power to shield himself from liability and offers transparency, at the very least.” – Adam Schiff
1/22: And now, after preemptively pardoning the rest of his crime syndicate, the flaming hypocrisy reappears. Review, what these same deranged experts were saying 4 years ago, when Trump DIDN’T pardon his family and individuals as they are projecting – while Biden clearly had no such reservations.
Hypocrisy and dishonesty are the only constants with liberals. If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all. Regardless of their flaming hypocrisy, this action prompts 2 concerns:
The pardon covers a wide sweeping smorgasbord of criminal activity going back 11 years – crimes already charged and convicted, but also anything not yet discovered. What else are they hiding besides sloppy Joe’s involvement in the schemes?
Why now? We all knew it was coming but I would have expected it to happen in January – much closer to the end of his term. Was this a trial balloon for dozens of other deep state offenders who are staring down well deserved justice under the new administration? Will we see a daily deluge of additional sweeping pardons for all of those bad actors who got off scot free? In doing so, he’ll blame Trump for having to do it. He’ll claim that because Trump wants “retribution,” he has to pardon people (and himself) to protect them and the country from such evil. It’ll be for our own good, he’ll tell us, for the good of the nation, to stop Trump and protect democracy.
I guess executing it now stops Hunters sentencing coming up in a week or so, but it also exposes a flaw in their plan.
With the pardon end date of 12/1, anything that happens from now on is fully chargeable and with the expected inquiries and congressional investigations of their misdeeds not even starting yet, they may have miscalculated. As Mike Davis mentions above, any of those pardoned will still be obligated to appear and testify. They may not be charged for the crimes they committed previously, but those crimes will still be investigated and they can be convicted for contempt, perjury, and numerous other offenses they commit during those proceedings. After seeing grandmas sentenced to prison for touring the capital, you can be damn sure each and every offense will be rung all the way through the wringer. And sloppy Joe will be out of office and powerless to stop them by then.
This will greatly assist in the real truth being exposed once and for all.
– Babylon Bee
Can you imagine how that scenario will play out? All those pardoned will be mandated to appear and testify. They cannot plead the 5th. They can’t be charged for their crimes but they will need to reveal the truth or face the consequences, which will surely be imprisonment – just like it was for Bannon and Navarro and wasn’t for Hunter and others with a (D) by their name who committed the exact same offenses.
In the end, this is just the icing on the cake. The best takeaway?
Joe Biden is leaving office making the strongest possible case for Donald Trump that anybody could possibly make it, and that’s that our government and our justice system is of, by, and for the elites and nobody else. He ran to banish Trumpism from our political system in this country and he has left it politically and now institutionally the strongest possible political force in this country. It is a complete and utter failure by the President of the United States, the Democratic party and those that continue to support them.
I’ve been mocked, ridiculed and insulted here for months. I guess it’s that treasured education that has made them so perceptive that they picked up that I am a hetero-white guy in flyover land that is the root of all evil, and I just cost them the election.
there’s no other explanation than plain old white (male) supremacy.
What a pathetic, angry and unChristian narrative you’re embracing.
Do you know more about what’s going on (sitting there on the farm, reading your conspiracy theories) than THEY do? My opinions are formed by facts.
These nazi cowards are the foundation of the current GOP. By not denouncing them, and by undermining the candidate that is actually trying to quash fascism, THIS is what you’re enabling.
It’s just too bad those facts get in their way this time. Nearly one in five Trump voters were black, Latino, Native American, or “people of color.”
After all the votes are counted, Trump will likely have won the largest share of the nonwhite vote of any Republican presidential candidate since at least Gerald Ford in 1976, if not Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1960. He won between 25 and 30 percent of the Black male vote nationwide, doubling his share from 2020 in some states. He won 45 percent of the Hispanic vote and an outright majority of Hispanic men. He won the largest share of the Jewish vote since the 1980s, while also simultaneously increasing his share of the Arab American vote. And Trump performed better in major cities across this nation.
You have to go back to before the Civil Rights Act to see a more diverse Republican coalition.
Once again, most of the pollsters and pundits underestimated Donald Trump. The fact that he notched not just a resounding Electoral College win but apparently a clear popular vote victory, too, is remarkable, particularly given how he broadened his coalition to be far more multiethnic than it was in 2016 and 2020.
And here is yet another demographic that came through. Way to go Gen-X (most of you anyway).
So why did I vote for Trump? It’s very simple. I’m in the stage of my life where I have one child in college, and my other two will be following, which will see my family paying for college for the next twelve years without a break.
Mr. Fox and I have aging parents who need extra attention and care. This means expensive flights, travel expenses, care expenses, and more. And when the government decides to let inflation get so wildly out of control that our higher-than-average salaries are strained by buying a week’s worth of groceries, and we have a month where we’ve accidentally overdrawn our account for the first time in a decade, and we watched the American government turn into Soviet-style thugs who physically harmed our children by unnecessarily locking them down, destroying two years of their lives, forcing them to wear masks, forcing people to get vaccines they didn’t want, and then the state of New York broke down someone’s door and executed their pet squirrel and raccoon… brother, it’s war.
Since the Cheney “execution” is the latest kerfuffle to be flung against the wall, in the desperate hope that something will stick, here is a little more detail. This interview with Tucker Carlson kicked it off:
Trump was calling out the warmongers. He didn’t say anything about a firing squad or being executed, but they throw that in there anyway.
I could set them straight, but they’d never listen so I’ll let some fellow leftists douse their desire for violence.
From Glen Greenwald: This is one of the most pathetic media lies about Trump in awhile, and that’s saying a lot.Trump was making the valid — and important — point that, like many in DC, Liz Cheney is a maniacal warmonger because it’s never her or her dad that endures the horrors of war.
From Never-Trumper Joe Walsh: Trump did NOT call for Liz Cheney to be executed. This is what’s so wrong with our politics today. Look, you know how I feel about Trump, and I’ve been out there every day for 2-3 months campaigning my ass off to help get KamalaHarris elected, but this short clip is so deceptive. Trump is NOT calling for Liz Cheney to be executed in front of a firing line. He’s not. Listen to the entirety of what he said. In Trump’s typically stupid, ugly fashion, he’s trying to make a point about Cheney’s stance on war. But Aaron (who I like & respect), by posting ONLY this 11 second clip, makes it look like he’s calling for her to be executed. He’s not. He’s an utterly horrible human being who’s utterly unfit for office, but the truth should always matter. And the truth is that Trump is not calling for Liz Cheney to be executed. But…this 11 second clip will have a gazillion views, and the truth will have just a handful of views.
From Vox’s Zach Beauchamp: Folks, Trump didn’t threaten to execute Liz Cheney. He actually was calling her a chickenhawk, something liberals said about her for ages. Look at the context — Trump is talking about giving her a weapon. Typically, people put in front of firing squads aren’t armed.
From the Free Press’ Kat Rosenfeld: I don’t support Donald Trump but I also don’t support journalists lying to their audiences, and when he says (paraphrased) “these pro-war people wouldn’t be talking such a big game if they were on the front lines” it is actually not the same thing as saying they should be shot
But the response that wins the grand prize is…
So there you are. Another week and another round of incidents that were terribly handled with more deception and ONLY managed to increase Trumps lead – now leading all swing states, as well as the popular vote. Fine job TDS crowd!!!!!
We are now in the late stages of the Democrats’ ill-conceived attempt to win with a deeply unpopular and incompetent candidate who never received any primary votes. The October Surprise is that (shockingly!) after nine years of facing Donald Trump, the Democratic Party has no real surprises, as well as no real plans.
Instead, they (once again) play the only card that their demented desperation can conjure up, HITLER!
To put this into perspective, Democrats have called every Republican candidate since 1964 “Fascist” or “Hitler”. Yup, besides Trump/Vance, Trump/Pence, Romney/Ryan, McCain/Palin, Bush/Cheney, Dole/Kemp, Bush/Quayle, Reagan/Bush, Ford/Dole, Nixon/Agnew and all the way back to the Goldwater/Miller ticket, that accusation is automatic. If you have the “R” next to your name, you are Hitler.
The ball got rolling a few days ago with none other than Hillary, who still cannot comprehend that calling (more than) half the voters Nazi’s isn’t much different (or better) than the “basket of deplorables” utterance from 2016.
Yes, in addition to calling Trump a Nazi, she extended that to include anyone who attends the rally automatically earning the label as well. Her twisted logic is that because he booked Madison Square Garden for the event, he most certainly is recreating and re-enacting the Nazi rally there from 1939. I guess she forgot that it is the very building where her husband accepted the DNC nomination for president.
Soon after, the meticulously crafted and researched narrative had been thoroughly distributed and we began to hear and see the Hiltler/Nazi accusations fly in from all directions. For cackling Kamala, Hitler wasn’t enough BANG so they expanded it to be “literally Hitler” or for others the entire smorgasbord of “Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini” was piled onto the plate.
What makes this truly comical isn’t the fact that they’ve tried this several times, and failed miserably each and every time. No, what truly illustrates their derangement is that way back in early July, the Babylon Bee called them out for doing the very same thing. Now, nearly 4 months later, they use this same tactic AGAIN as their October Surprise in the closing days of the campaign.
As I’ve mentioned many times now, this has to be the easiest campaign to go up against, providing all of the soundbites and video needed for advertisements to defeat them absolutely free of charge.
This was at the now infamous Harris rally in Houston, where they packed the stadium (to show how popular she is) by promising a free Beyonce concert. They were quick to share pics and videos of the raucous crowd before the festivities began. However, Beyonce merely spoke for a few minutes and never performed. The crowd erupted in unruly boos, taunts, brawls and utter disgust at being deceived. Certainly behavior never seen at a Trump rally – even though they are filled with Nazi’s.
It was a long time coming but am now thankful and appreciative they are soon to be officially irrelevant – other than the damage, destruction, mayhem and chaos they’ll be inflicting on everyone in the coming weeks, simply because they didn’t get what they wanted. A growing majority are now wise to their game, are tired of being insulted and no longer wish to be referred to as “low information” voters.
And with everyone fleeing, they resort to intimidation and threats. Surprised?
Let’s see, how was I schooled on her support?
“she literally has more support and endorsements (in less than a week) than any other candidate has ever had–ever. Your gullibility in believing lies you’re fed is absolutely astounding. I talk to other Democrats all the time and let me assure you, everyone I’ve talked to in the last week is absolutely unified, energized and thrilled that we finally have a candidate that can beat Trump by an even wider margin.”
Instead, I heard generic platitudes, things like “joy,” “respect,” and “integrity.” What does that even mean? “Let’s make the military the most lethal in the world.” I thought I was part of the anti-war party. I thought I was part of the party that fought for the underdog, that championed working people. When and how did we just become the party of academia, anemia, and affluence? Because that’s what we are right now.
