Well, tomorrow will be one month since the most decisive debate since Lincoln-Douglas.
Before anyone accuses me of exaggeration – you might think that we all remember Lincoln as the guy who beat the Democrats and freed their slaves, while Douglas has faded from history – I have to point out that Douglas was able to complete a series of debates during which he spoke for many hours without worrying audiences that he had shuffled off this mortal coil.
Joe Biden STARTED the debate by shuffling into the room in a manner that suggested he may have left his mortal coil in the green room. From there he didn’t just make some gaffes, or have some bad moments, or lose badly.
He was so metaphysically awful that after 90 minutes, the entire nation decided that he cannot run for president anymore. That, my friends, is one terrible debate performance.
We’ve learned many things in the last, tumultuous month: A cognitively disabled man can be president for three and a half years. A gentle, 3-degree slope on a roof makes it impossible for a secret service agent to get onto it. No matter what you may have heard, Que Mala was NOT the Border Czar. (I guess because technically she was the “Border Czarina?” Gendered Russian grammar for the win!)
But for me, the most eye-opening experience was getting just a brief glimpse of what our political landscape would look like if the press actually did their job on a regular basis. Because holy moly, did they ever destroy Joey Gaffes in record time!
And they didn’t do it via dirty tricks or biased coverage. They simply started telling the truth and asking tough but fair questions. For a couple of weeks! And Biden’s 120-year career in politics was over, just like that.
Can you imagine if the MSM had done that to Bill Clinton? “We’ve noticed that despite the fact that you’re a huge feminist hero, every intern who walks out of your office either has mussed up hair, messed up lipstick, or is rubbing her rear end. What’s up with that? Also, you clearly perjured yourself under oath, and since losing your law license over that means that you’ve been declared too unethical to be a lawyer – who knew there was such a thing? – how are you ethical enough to be a president?”
Or Hillary Clinton? “We’re going to doggedly stay on your Rose Law Firm scandal and your impossibly successful cattle trading returns until we get to the bottom of them. (We’ve noticed that your only even tangential connection to cattle is that you both have cloven hooves.) Also, your setting up a secret server and calling a meeting at which you ordered your minions to smash all of their Blackberries with hammers only makes sense as evidence of your staggering corruption and devotion to evading responsibility for blatantly illegal actions, and we’re going to expose those completely.”
Or Barack Obama? “How could you listen to Jeremiah Wright’s whitey-hating, anti-American sermons for 20 years – and take the title of your first autobiography (which you definitely did not write yourself) from one of those racist screeds – and not notice what a malevolent loon he obviously is? Also, wasn’t setting up a fake Greek Temple in Denver to give a speech from, and then claiming that your getting the nomination was ‘the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal’ super narcissistic?”
“And by the way, you never met your African dad until adulthood, and were raised by your white mom and white grandparents in Kansas, Indonesia and Hawaii, surrounded by white people, Hawaiians and Indonesians. Doesn’t that make you about as culturally black as Liz Warren is ethnically red?” (#wemustneverstopmockingher)
Years ago I remember reading a pollster’s estimate that one-sided leftist bias in MSM campaign coverage produces an approximate 8-to-10-point swing favoring Democratic presidential candidates, and that’s always seemed about right. But the last month has proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Remember: with the MSM covering for Joe Biden, he had 36 years in the US Senate, 8 years as Vice President, and one term as President. But when the media turned on him and started reporting honestly, he was forced out of politics in a fortnight!
Which brings us to Biden’s unsatisfying speech on Wednesday night.
Not counting the aforementioned sudden bout of media honesty, there were only three, obviously true reasons why Biden stepped down. And spoiler alert: Biden and all national Dems are allergic to obvious truths (see: men can’t be women; Hunter’s laptop was Hunter’s laptop; the border is not secure, etc.).
So guess who avoided those true reasons like a Jewish vegan avoiding a pork chop wrapped in bacon?
The first two true reasons are: 1. Joe’s been cognitively and physically deteriorating at a frightening rate, and 2. Polls show that he was going to lose badly to Trump.
We all know that the Democrat elite didn’t give a damn about the first one, because they’ve known about it for years. They ran Joe in 2020 primarily by keeping him in his basement, for crying out loud. And everyone who had never been within ten miles of Biden still knew that he was cognitively challenged – comedians were doing accurate impressions of his shuffling and mumbling, and there were ubiquitous internet “greatest gaffes” compilations of his addled and awkward bumblings back in 2019.
Yet somehow Biden insiders – from his sapphic Kewpie-doll spokeswoman to his cabinet officials to his own family – claim that they had no idea of the infirmity that even primitive tribesmen living as remotely as the cannibals who ate ol’ Uncle Appetizer Biden knew about!
So the Dem elite clearly knew about his manifest infirmities and unfitness to serve, and they just as clearly didn’t care. But they definitely cared about the second factor – his likely defeat by Trump – because they are power-hungry, soulless Machiavellians who would sell their own mothers into Willie Brown’s harem to retain their power.
So Joe had a tough task in his Wednesday night “speech.” He had to explain a momentous decision that had only three possible explanations – I can’t control my thoughts or my bowels; I was going to get my butt kicked by Orange Hitler; or my fellow Dems are a bunch of faithless snakes who went all “et tu, Brute?” on my wrinkly old arse – without actually admitting any of those obvious truths.
He did about as well as he could with that… which was not so much.
He basically gave a stump speech about what a great president he was, touting all of his made-up accomplishments (“I lowered drug prices! I beat Medicare! I took a shot of cancer to the moon!”), taking credit for the inevitable economic improvements after the artificially imposed covid recession, and ignoring everything he actually did.
So it’s no wonder that his speech made no sense. His message boiled down to, “I’ve been such a tremendous, super-successful president… that the best thing I can do for my party and the country is to get out of the race.”
What better way was there for Joe Biden to go out? After starting his long, incoherence-filled political career in 1973, he left on one final note of complete incoherence.
Well done, Joe. Please accept this final poem, composed in your honor, from Dylan Thomas, me, and all of CO nation:
Do not go gentle into that political night,
Old age should slur and stutter at close of campaign;
Rage, rage, against Obama and Que Mala!
Hamas delenda est!
