Americans Were Played for Suckers
The unraveling of the Biden White House after President Joe Biden’s catastrophic performance at the first Biden/Trump debate has given voters severe whiplash, or visions of a 2nd Coming. Many Democrats and a sycophant media turned against the president not because they were conscience-stricken about previously lying about his condition. Instead, they got caught and they feared losing.
The cover-up was intended to deceive the American people. The first victims were Democratic primary voters. These voters have been denied a real say in their party’s nominee.
The serious potential candidates were sidelined by pressure to close ranks publicly behind Biden, who refused to debate the few, marginal primary opponents he attracted. The party owes an apology to Congressman Dean Phillips, who ran a quixotic campaign to sound the alarm.
As the editors at NRO ask, if Joe Biden really were putting the country first, as Biden declares in his statement, wouldn’t he resign now,?
An Intentional Coverup
In that what is going on in the Democrat Party confirms what everyone knows, Ben Domenech writes in Spectator US: “Nancy Pelosi is still the undefeated and eternal Queen of the Realm — and what she says goes. “
The suggestion in the past week that her allies were being more outspoken — and that Pelosi herself had behind the scenes expressed her lack of faith in the Biden 24 project, was more decisive than any factor in removing Biden from the ticket and clearing the way for an alternative she believes in. Whether she threatened to actually deploy the 25th Amendment or not, Pelosi knew what to do to move Joe out.
The Losers:
- The Biden family, which held on to power in an attempt to white-knuckle it to the end, was ultimately rebuffed.
- Jill Biden, Hunter, and Ashley will not get their way and will be headed to the White House exits soon enough.
- Joe Biden’s allies who stuck through till the end, look all the worse for deluding themselves about his capacity. The obvious question, already raised by multiple Republican voices, is how he can possibly remain as president if he cannot even withstand the rigors of a political campaign.
- Joe Biden’s media sycophants, who continued to publicly maintain over the past three weeks that everything was just fine, or even if it wasn’t, that Biden represented the one great hedge against the anti-democracy forces of the right.
Clearly, in the end, not even Biden himself believed that to be true — or he was incapable of convincing the donors, activists, and party leaders that it was the truth.
- Team Trump: Now Facing both an opportunity and a disruption. How Trump handles a potential debate with Harris, at this stage a far more functional communicator than Biden, is an open question.
- For Depressed Democrats, as they have been these past several weeks, there is a slim but real potential of a turnaround — one which may not see them hold the White House, but could prove to be a better result in the Senate and House than they might have faced under a Biden campaign that had lost both engines and was spiraling rapidly toward the ground.
Suppressing the Truth is Dangerous
Will Biden’s team be able to withstand the immense pressure? The coming pressure will not just be from the right of center press.
Having been lied to for so long, the media will not just accept the White House’s excuses as gospel.
Ben Domenech asks you to contemplate one last disturbing thought:
November is still a long way away. Who knows what will come in the interim. Remember to take your blood pressure meds. 2024 may not be done with us yet.
AG’s Warning from Jaun P. Villasmil:
Democratic elites have undemocratically kicked out Biden because they know he couldn’t win. It’s not enough for Republicans to love Trump and Vance. To win the election, Americans must fear Harris and her running mate as well.
What if Joe Biden continues? It is hard to predict. America faces what John Bolton calls “unchartered dangers” with a Biden lame-duck presidency.
Congress, the candidates and especially the American public need to begin thinking about the challenges ahead, and monitoring Biden’s prolonged lame-duck status closely.
