The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

He's dumb. He's nasty. He's inarticulate. He's a liar. And now he is in the middle stages of dementia.

But none of this is new, except maybe the senility. Joe Biden has always been a dim bulb, whose accomplishments as a senator were conspicuously thin, but whose self-aggrandizement has always been impressive.

Clearly the good people of Delaware are hilariously ignorant and detached from the political process, and just vote reflexively, because they have been represented in the Senate by a man who has never had an original thought, steals every pithy comment he has ever uttered, and is a serial liar even when those lies get him nothing of benefit.

Biden is what we think he is, and has been...forever.

So the question is: Why has Joe Biden been so successful in politics? Occam says that when he was bought, he stayed bought. What other rational explanation is there for this pathetically mediocre intellect to have remained in national politics for 50 years? Of course we have legions of inferior minds in our national government, but Biden is more than just stupid! He stands out for being among the dumbest, the least honest, the nastiest and the least effective of both our elected officials and their counterparts in the deep state.

When Barack Obama -- no intellectual titan himself -- notices that Biden is a total fvck-up, he must really be an idiot. Unfortunately for America he has fallen into a rather important job, in which his vast and all-encompassing flaws and shortcomings are in full view. I wonder whether his owners are pleased or frustrated?

it's filled with former Philly and Delco residents now, plus some DC types

Wilmington is Camden writ large

So ... that's why. I used to tease Blue Hen about it all the time, because we're such losers here in SE PA that we enjoy picking on Delaware. They've had the last laugh now tho!

and throughout this COVID-panic nonsense, I've been dependent on the relative normalcy allowed in Delaware, because the state is such a Dem stalwart/hangout, they have been much more free and easygoing than my state, which is still on Ultra-Secret-Probation bc we voted SO WRONG in the 2020 election they had to break a sweat cheating here.

Most people, even most political partisans, pay very little attention to governance. People vote for their team. People get up in arms about whatever they're told is the "hot-button issue" of the day.

Federal elected officials (and higher level bureaucrats) are part of a feudal system. They are the lords of the land. Their children are automatically elevated. They have wealth and power. Peasants (and outsiders) cannot be permitted to interfere.

43 DE is a really small state. It's easy to be a fixture of politics in an environment like that. Sure NY and CA have their political dynasties too, but there is a lot of turnover since there are a lot of competing interests. But in a state as small as DE - a suburn of Philly as someone said - it's a tight circle. Once you're in, you're in forever.

People nationally are now exposed to Biden's stupidity and character. Obama helped cover that up. Now that he is out and front, people are noticing.

That's why the media will cover for him. They covered for him to get elected. People now see how dumb he is and the media cannot ever admit they didn't see it. So the CYA reporting and reporting angles will only increase. This guy wi have to show up with his underwear on the outside before the MSM will ever not we might have a problem. Again, "might."

In the Senate, being arrogant doesn't matter much. You may say something stupid, but senators don't make many decisions on their own. As President, being both dumb & arrogant is causing disaster after disaster.

He wouldn't just blow through for 5 minutes. He would stay a couple of hours. He knew how to campaign and win voters.

Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at September 09, 2021 10:15 AM (LXmEi)

81 I believe the cabal behind Biden overestimated two things:

How easy it would be to get away with passing him off as a traditional president, faculties intact, up to the job.

88 Why is Biden so successful in politics? . . . Patty Murray makes Joe look like a Mensa member and she has been a senator for 30 years. Once a Dem is in, no matter how idiotic or cretinous they are, they have a job for life if they're from a blue state.

1 grapefruit / 1 orange / 1 lemon
Chop up and put in a pot of water big enough to cover all the fruit. Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of preferably freshly grated ginger, but powdered is fine too. Boil about two hours, or until a spoon cuts through the orange rind really easily. (Make sure to keep topping up the water throughout if it boils down too quickly). Once it's done, strain the liquid then pour into a mug. Add one to two tablespoons of honey depending on your tolerance for bitter. Leftover liquid can be saved in the fridge for about three days.

108 Biden has been enabled for 50 years, as we all know. He was also propped up by the GOPe. They ran a bunch of tomato cans against him over the years, and never even tried to uncover any of the self-evident dirt that there was on him the entire time. No bringing up the sweetheart deal regarding his DE mansion, no bringing up the dirty deals his brother was involved in - nothing. Schweitzer's book Culture of Corruption laid it all out there, and even when he ran for POTUS, the RNC never publicized any of his revelations.

The media also invented a 'moderate' label for him, while he never, ever took a position or vote in opposition to any of the leftist proposals that were presented in the Senate for the decades he was in office.

The guy skated his entire career. Everyone in the Senate knew his hair-sniffing, skinny-dipping reputation, but did nothing about it.

The Dems rejected him twice before in runs for President, and his polling ran low 3-5th in the pack of 2020 Dems until he ran first.

There were memes during the Obama years from Lefties with Obama saying something to Joe, him replying something dumb or Rosanne Roseannadanna-ish, and then Obama facepalming.

It is not an important job, and his handlers in the permanent government are pleased as punch. Any President is just going to push forward their agenda and spout whatever platitudes s/he's told to spout.

But there is absolutely *zero* risk that this one will grow any policy ideas of his own. And he can't veer off script except by accident. And if he's ever a problem for whatever reason, they've got about ten ways to easily rid themselves of him. He's the perfect President.

My theory is that the admin was assured by China and Pakistan that the Taliban would be constrained until the US was completely out of Afghanistan, maybe allowed to take some southern districts and such, and that once a few months had gone by, the Chinese and Pakistanis would quietly "negotiate" a new interim government. That's why they made sure that Bagram was abandoned like it was; the Chinese wanted it left alone so that they could move people in sooner rather than later. The only problem is that the Pakistanis screwed us over, and let the Taliban run free instead.

Obama had the unique, nontransferable skill of being able to take law school exams well. First year (1L) grades are blind, and he did very well on first year grades (as well as after that, but after that the professors know who they're grading). Taking a law school exam basically consists of writing an essay under time pressure that takes a complicated fact situation that is designed to include lots of legal elements, laying out the arguments pro and con, and citing a case for every point you make. You never actually answer the question -- you just lay out the best arguments for both sides. It's a very specific skill that is not at all related to real life. From what I can tell, where Obama is lacking is the real-life side of intelligence. There are just huge gaps in his experience that most ordinary people (even politicians) have, like knowing how to pronounce corpsman or how business works.

302 289 the Delaware River was inhabited by the Native American Lenape people. They called the Delaware River "Lenape Wihittuck", which means "the rapid stream of the Lenape".

are there no more Delaware native people? they can fight over this! PA already has lots o' great NA river names - and one silly Dutch one

303 Here's a couple positive thoughts.If you're becoming discouraged (understandably) by current events I suggest you take a look at our history, where you'll find we have met and prevailed over issues even more serious that the current mess.
---
You keep saying that.
Repetition doesn't give it greater heft.

There is no comparable event after 1787 where the whole of what made this Republic was in actual, grave, mortal peril.
The Nazis and Japs were never a mainland threat. The Depression was transitory and economic. The Civil War was a bloody spat. All deadly, dangerous and difficult, yes: but not a threat to the spirt of America.

There are no comparisons, where the very fabric of what makes us free is openly mocked, denigrated and dismantled by all the major institutions, public and private--in cooperation. Look at all the freedoms we have lost in the last 20 years-- no other period in US history comes close. But yeah, keep your head down, this is a minor squall we'll ride out ... and that's how we got in this mess.

I had no idea what he was talking about. I told them I would fix it and they laughed. They didn't care whether I fixed anything. They just want to shut down my business because they think somehow, it will keep the street gangs from killing people, like I have something to do with it.

You know the homeopathic and naturopathic medical disciplines are missing a huge profit opportunity here. They should come out with a "homeopathic" Covid vaccine, made according to the basic precepts of homeopathy. (in other words, distilled water from a bottle which was slowly driven past a hospital with Covid patients therein). Promote it, sell it, and provide perfectly genuine vax certificates to prove you've had it. I'd pay good money for a shot distilled water, if it got me a cert. And in this New Agey crazy world, they can't deny the stuff works. It's their reality, after all.

Their irregular troops, the Taliban, get the credit, but they were Pakistani trained and advised, and the way the campaign worked was obviously planned by a staff with professional military education (likely folks in Islamabad trained by us or the Brits). I've also heard that the campaign, including the bribery to the Afghan commanders, was financed by China.

360 According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden's approval rating sits at 45%, with 49% disapproving. Those numbers closely mirror Bill Clinton's at the same point in his presidency, and are worse than Obama's numbers in 2009.

Why does that matter?

Because Clinton lost 54 House seats and Obama lost 63.

One Democratic strategist explained to Newsweek that the party has no margin for error because of their razor-thin majority in the House -- just eight seats.

The strategist described the party as "competitive" in the midterm elections if Biden is at 51% approval, headed for a good outcome if he stands at 53%, but poised to lose the House and Senate if he's at 49% or below.

"Swing districts are three to four points more Republican than national polling," the source said. "If Biden is down five to six points in swing districts, that's how Democrats lose 30, 40 or 50 seats."

371 Look at it this way: let's say you've got two good, solid working men, whose wives start smoking meth together and decide to join a biker gang so they can live their lives to the fullest, getting high and spit-roasted by their dealers out on the open road.

One shrugs and says "well, this is terrible. You do you, you crazy bitch," and decides to turn the page and look for a new woman.

The other pines away like Bill Dauterive on King of the Hill, trying to devise some way, any way, to just make Lenore come back to him.

Which one is the optimist?

375 The reason that people like Biden rise to the top is that the whole structure DEMANDS corruption.

Adding honest people, like Trump, to the mix causes them problems.

So the Dem party, and the GOPe, try to keep only those deeply corrupt as serious candidates and squeeze out the rest.

And intelligence/competence doesn't matter. The government does not want to solve problems - it wants more problems so that it has more reasons to take your income and freedoms.

I think the first part of the 20th Century, where there were serious Socialists and Communists, labor riots and strikes, bombings, etc., culminating in the election of FDR and the New Deal, probably comes close. We dodged the bullet then, but not without permanent damage to the nation.

396 I've been watching Shang Chi closely to see how it does. It was Disney's first theater-only release since 2019 and one of the first male-lead Marvel solo film since Black Panther (Spider-Man Homecoming came out in between, and while Ant-Man 2 technically was a male lead, in reality it was the Wasp Movie, featuring Ant Man who instead got big).

Rumors are that it cost $150 million to produce, so rough estimate is $300 million including publicity and distribution although they didn't really publicize this one as much so maybe not that much,

So far according to Box Office Mojo it has made just over $101 million, with ever day past opening a drop off (sometimes a dramatic one).

I get emails that I've won an Aldi's card in the amount of 500 (insert British pound sign).

Way to go dumbass. At least get the country correct.

436 I mentioned it last month, but the toys for the movie were in the clearance aisle at Walmart before the movie was in theaters.

Its looking increasingly like yet another fail in a continuing series of fails.

We do not have streaming numbers because the industry keeps them really secret unless they are doing gangbusters, but I suspect that Loki and Scarlet Witch both cost more than they earned.

The CGI in Shang Chi apparently is not the best Marvel has done and I think that's where they are saving some money.

And the fight scenes, people are raving about them but what I've seen in the trailers looks bad, people hugely telegraphing punches, people reacting to moves before they start, weird fitful starts like someone is waiting for the action to start then swinging into it, bad editing stuff.

437 Yeah that's the thing. Most Americans view 9/11 as an attack on America and that's why it is important. Most in NYC view it as an attack on NYC and want it to be NYC centric.
Posted by: Buzzion at September 09, 2021 11:12 AM (G2zl5)

Exactly.

I don't believe the attackers had anything personal against NYC--or those particular souls who happened to be working in the Towers that day.
It was simply an AMERICAN target, the biggest one they could think of.

438 A core thing that has come out of the discussions I've had with left leaning LIVs over the years is that they don't think who they vote for actually has any real effect on them.

You tie policies they don't like, and corruption, to the politicians they voted for and they will continue to vote for the protege of the guy that they are supposedly angry at.

In my opinion - prep for Presidency:

Governor > CEO large public traded co > CEO private Corp > Senator/elected rep

After two+ decades of dudes playing chicks online in video games, that wouldn't shock me. I just hope it doesn't have some 'magical' transformation effect for the 'real world'....whatever that is in this movie.

Meh.

443 One of these things is not like the others

One of the last blog posts I ever did on Word Around The Net was a comparison of different jobs presidents had. There are only two big business tycoon types that got into the office: Hoover and Trump. Hoover's presidency was less than great because he surrounded himself with corrupt scumbags, and did not quite see the depression coming or work to protect America from it.

447 No doubt all you big-brained folks here will correct me if I'm wrong, but 'Delaware' was the name of an indigenous tribe in the area. So probably should be renamed for cultural appropriation, no matter how Lord de la Ware's descendants might object. (Last sentence was heavy /s.)

448 its Delaware ... even Joe is an import from Scranton ... nobody is a local ... they really don't care about who is in the Senate ...

449 He's been on the take for years. Possibly connected to the onset of "Delaware Corporations" and the subsequent relocation of many financial businesses connected to banks and credit cards to Delaware.

Which brings me to my Completely Innocuous Suggestion. Why does Delaware, with the area of a postage stamp, get two US senators? Yes yes history, but aren't we doing away with all that? (she said, adjusting her halo of innocence). Why not a) combine some of the tiny states, either merging to larger ones or combining several into one federation, and b) split up some of the huge ones like California? Net number of states remains constant (it is a pain reconfiguring the flag...) but effective power gets a well-needed shakeup.

450 The core question is - why does Obama pick him for VP in 2008? Delaware is a safe Democratic state the would have voted for Obama whether it was Biden or not in the #2 slot. It's also a small state with few electoral votes.

452 The core question is - why does Obama pick him for VP in 2008?

Obama needed a dumb white guy to show that he wasn't scary, but it was equally important that the VP pick not be more popular than Obama.

you never want to make the VP more appealing so as to avoid those crazies who who advance the VP.

456 Wife once had a friend whose SO was (literally!) a used car salesman.

Once, as we left their presence my wife remarked about something he said that was, to her certain knowledge, false. "Why did he lie?" , she asked me.

My answer applies to Biden, as well:
"He lies just to keep in practice."

Posted by: buddhaha at September 09, 2021 01:11 PM (BAXxV)

457 I grew up in Delaware, lived there 35 years, but have been gone 22 years. I still have a lot of friends and family there. I also have some close, personal connections to the Biden family that I won't get into right now. For the record, I detest Joe Biden.

However, I'll explain why Delaware kept sending Joe back to DC. It's simple. It's a very small state. While the rest of the world operates on the concept of six degrees of separation, in Delaware it's two. Everybody knows everybody. Everybody knows their politicians. The politicians are accessible and you have a pretty good chance at bumping into them at a UofD football game, the state fair, the beach, etc. So, that personal connection matters far more than results.

Joe Biden never did shit for Delaware, but everybody knows him.
