It's Not Just That Biden Is Stupid, Venal, Senile And Mean, It's Also That His Handlers Seem To Be The Same!

At this point in Biden's ersatz presidency it is a given that he is stupid, not in control of his faculties, lashes out (senility and innate meanness), and is (mis)directing a catastrophic shift away from President Trump's policies with respect to foreign policy, domestic energy, business regulation, the insanity of the transgender movement, etc.

But it also seems increasingly obvious that he is being controlled from behind the scenes, by the Kalorama Klowns, Ron Klain, or maybe just the voices in his head, but the issue is that they too are stupid! The total mess that they made of the recent trip to the Middle East is an excellent example of their (whoever "they" may be) inability to construct a coherent policy for pretty much everything. It is as if they are setting themselves up for failure...creating political traps at every turn, and pushing policies without any sense of their effects on the country and our allies (and enemies) abroad. In just a short time he has degraded the presidency to such an extent that his answer to most things is to ask someone else to fix our problems. Beg for the Arabs to pump more oil..."hope" that inflation comes down...ask the Taliban to please don't shoot at us while we retreat...

Or even worse, blame someone else. Like Putin for inflation, the logistics chain for bare shelves, Abbott for no baby formula, and on and on and on. Responsibility for anything seems to be a quaint and discredited idea. Events have overwhelmed the White House, and their answer is a sort of pathetic, reactive process that attempts to shift the blame onto anyone and anything.

Biden shows no regrets over fist bump with MBS: 'Happy to answer a question that matters'

Biden says he confronted the de facto Saudi ruler about Khashoggi during their meeting. However, Saudi officials claim MBS confronted Biden about the abuse of prisoners at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison by U.S. military personnel and the U.S. response to the killing of Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank, according to CNN.
Biden responded with a flat "No" when asked upon his return to the White House whether the Saudi foreign minister was telling the truth when he claimed not to have heard the president accuse the crown prince of Khashoggi's murder. Biden also said he is "hoping" inflation will go down, and when asked if he would honor his campaign pledge to release all of the marijuana inmates in prison, Biden said he does not believe "anyone should be in prison for the use of marijuana."

It's pretty clear that the retards running our foreign policy were woefully unprepared for this trip, didn't predict any of the potential issues, didn't provide the demented puppet with any coherent talking points (or maybe he just forgot them), and made the sloppy and lazy assumption that American prestige and power would overwhelm any reservations about our requests and courses of action.

But that doesn't fly with Biden in the Oval Office. America is a paper tiger, and our enemies are emboldened. We have demonstrated one thing to the world during his presidency: that America is weak, that our president is a fool and a clown, and that America is ripe for abuse. Realpolitik suggests that bringing up the murder of Khashoggi will have no effect on anything except a small and radical part of America's domestic landscape, but it will assure an aggressive response from the Saudis. Does anyone really care that he was killed? He was clearly not a heroic journalist...he was a political operative working for KSA's enemies.

This is evidence of a childish mindset among Biden's puppet masters. They blithely assume that America will go along with $5 gasoline, ignominious retreat, empty shelves and horrid inflation, because the goals are noble...at least in the eyes of the hard left. Never mind that most of America doesn't care much about global warming, transgenders being able to shower with their chosen sex, and a host of leftist talking points that have been neatly subsumed into trivialities by the things that matter to Americans. We will be made to care, unless the Democrat/progressives who are ascendant are punished at the polls in November, and the next November, and the one after that. They need to be driven back into their warrens, beaten back with rational policies, clearly explained, for how to fix what is rotten in America.

Is the Republican Party up to the task? The emergence of Trump-inspired firebrands is a tremendously hopeful sign, and one that bodes well for America's future prospects. Whether they will be overwhelmed by a combination of the deep state and the traditional Republican appetite for accommodation and surrender remains to be seen!

The opportunity for a radical overhaul of our political landscape has been provided by the chaotic and ignorant Democrat Party...it is up to us to push the Republican Party to do what is necessary.

50 Deep Thoughts from a prominent Portland "climate activist" who flew in a carbon-spewing jet aircraft to Austin for a conference:

Simply do not understand the 60% of people on this flight not wearing a mask. Failed country

Also simply don’t understand how we have billions to expand an airport but can’t run more trains

and best of all:

Tweets complaining about airlines and flights are probably my least favorite social media content but it’s hard not to gripe about how wholly miserable, expensive, unreliable unpleasant air travel has become, as the industry receives gajillion dollar bailouts and record profits

Which is hilarious. This guy wants to make fossil fuels as expensive as possible, thus making air travel impossible for ordinary people, and then whines about the cost of a plane ticket when he has to travel.

Destruction of USA leading to the proles crying for salvation from Big Global Government -- seems to be the strategy. The Afghanistan weapons giveaway was a plan, the Ukraine war was instigated by Team Biden ... and many of those weapons are now (sold on black market) a threat to Europe.

We should have moved toward detente and trade with Russia, against China. Instead they torpedoed that possibility, and still cozy up to China at every turn. China does have problems, but somehow the oligarchs feel they can share the world with China/CCP, but patriotic Americans are an existential threat to their New World (not liberal) Order.

I personally think the administration is incompetent, but they're outsourcing their policies to entities that aren't. Censoring the right has been very successful because it's being conducted by the media and big tech, not because the junta had anything to do with it other than pointing and saying "censor those people." Same goes for energy policies. The oil and gas industries seem content to sit on their collective hands and let the economy burn. There are many other examples...

I just finished reading Downfall, by Richard Frank. It's the story of the end of the Pacific war. He relates the many meetings had by top and mid-level Japanese brass. Most of them wanted to fight on, and thought they could win or at least get a draw, despite months of bombardment and blockade, the burning out of most of their cities, a massive Russian assault on Manchuria, and 2 atomic bombs.

I personally ran into this mindset working at the Clinton White House. People with fancy titles thinking people will go along with their ideals if just given a fig leaf of rationale, only to be met with stonewall resistance and no backup plan.

idk, but the wanton destruction being pushed on us required a demented soul that would not care if his name is tied to such a broadside attack on America itself.

Biden is not even sure he is president, he will (try to) read anything they put in front of him, sign any order. Dr. Jill will lead him by the hand and drug him up on their cocktails as necessary, as she basks in the glory.

199 From a Daily Mail article today - DOCTOR Jill says nothing is Joe's fault! He's overloaded with crises! This from the wife of the guy Psaki repeatedly told us could "walk and chew gum." Ha!

"Jill Biden has said her husband 'had so many hopes' when he got into office, but there were 'problems of the moment' that needed to be addressed first.
The First Lady, 71, spoke at a fundraising event for the Democratic National Committee in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Saturday. '[The President] had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around, he had to address the problems of the moment,' she told donors at the event.

'He's just had so many things thrown his way,' she added. During his presidency, Biden has faced Russia's war in Ukraine, the pullout of troops from Afghanistan, rising inflation and the overturning of Roe v Wade.

'Who would have ever thought about what happened [with the Supreme Court overturning] Roe v. Wade? Well maybe we saw it coming, but still we didn't believe it,' she said. 'The gun violence in this country is absolutely appalling. We didn't see the war in Ukraine coming.' "

No women in New York have gotten monkeypox.

All of the Junta members got to where they are because of excellent non-practical-use skills. They are excellent at writing position papers tailored to the tastes of their bosses. And excellent at writing and delivering powerpoint briefings that impress the sh!t out of their bosses and Democrat-Media Complex pinheads. They are also excellent at writing talking points and perfectly and endlessly reciting them to any and all reporters. There is no doubt they are excellent at office politics and office and bureaucratic in-fighting.

Biden went into politics because he's a dumb-ass who was a shitty lawyer who couldn't make a living at practicing law. And he was crooked from the start. Bill Stevenson, who was Jill's husband at the time of Biden's first senate campaign, described how he wanted to make a campaign donation. Joe's brother told Stevenson to make the donation in cash in small bills so that he could use the cash to go into the poor neighborhoods and buy votes for Joe.

273 Jordan Schachtel: Monkey Up: US government quietly acquires 7 million monkeypox vaccines, as Fauci starts selling product on TV

There have been zero monkeypox deaths outside of Africa this year.

In recent weeks, the U.S. government has quietly acquired a giant stash of monkeypox vaccines, ordering some 7 million doses since June.

Bavarian Nordic, which possesses the only FDA-approved shot, announced the news on its website over the weekend.

"The new order follows two previous orders from BARDA in June and July 2022 for 500,000 and 2.5 million doses respectively which, together with an order from BARDA in 2020 for 1.4 million doses, will bring the total deliveries in 2022 and 2023 to nearly 7 million doses," reads a statement released Friday from the pharmaceutical outfit.

Like clockwork, Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on television the next day to discuss his concerns...

276 Biden is in so far over his head he can't even see the surface. He oscillates between a few fake and/or delusional personae: his impression of a WWII-era General or old-time football coach barking orders, the "frontier tough guy," the "aw shucks" hero of movies gone by and "crafty and wise political genius."

He's a C- intellect with a D- character who gets an F in acting skills.

His goals, to the extent he has any, are limited to stroking his vulnerable ego by holding onto power, or the trappings of power, for as long as possible, with what must surely be a gnawing and constant anxiety that the world, and more importantly those around him, are now all laughing at him behind his back, or sometimes now right to his face. Genuine patriotism for the future of our country, or concern for fellow Americans, doesn't even in the top 20.

At this point would it matter?
If...its a big IF, the red wave is real, then a strong, charismatic and smart new Speaker can essentially control the last two years of this democrat facade of an administration.

I know. Wishful thinking.

Sadly, no.In opposing Biden/Garland/Sullivan/Rice et al. Republicans have given no evidence they actively oppose Bidens policies and actions. The Uniparty rules us.

The same can be said for pretty much every Western nation in the world. The line of succession or the upcoming prospects for nation's world leaders are all WEF puppets. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Germany, France, Italy, you name it.

We are living now in pretty much the opposite of how the world was when I grew up in the 1980s, when we had Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II as world leaders.

335 We should have moved toward detente and trade with Russia, against China. Instead they torpedoed that possibility, and still cozy up to China at every turn. China does have problems, but somehow the oligarchs feel they can share the world with China/CCP, but patriotic Americans are an existential threat to their New World (not liberal) Order.

Rather late here. I would note there is nothing to trade with Russia. It's a failing country that cannot domestically utilize first world product past cell phones. We make nothing they can even begin to use. They sell food and energy and other basic commodities. Nothing they produce by way of manufactured product is worth even looking at.

337 Biden supposedly has the largest Presidential office staff every--some 560 people. (Or should I say 560 bipedal and maybe even non binary drones?) Weak managers (and Biden sure as heck is the weakest of weak managers) hire people who are not as smart as the boss?

So there's a problem there. Even in Washington D.C. not necessarily known for the best and the brightest, how can one man find 560 people who are all dumber than a sack of hammers? I dunno--but Slow Joe has managed it.

338 Just look at the stupidity of their decision to involve the West in Ukraine. You can argue whether Russia or Ukraine is winning, but there is no question that the US and Europe are losing.

Only losers here Dave. And whoever ultimately wins the conflict will be a short-lived winner, because both of them will be so destroyed - Ukraine from the destruction, Russia from a further loss of foreign capital investment. Europe is losing because the EU experiment was doomed to fail, and Russia has exposed how stupid they really are.

We will eventually win because FJB will be gone in 2 years. And the underlying strength of the US economy will rescue us.

Your comments about the Saudis & Khashoggi are the best thing you've ever written.

Somebody needed to say that!

I would add, regarding Khashoggi: "And by the way, Soleimani, the Al Quds commander, didn't die of a heart attack. The U.S killed him. And several others just like him, under both Biden AND Trump.

What is the idea here among those who want Kashoggi's murder to determine U.S. foreign policy toward the Saudis? 'Hellfire missile GOOD! 9mm BAD!' ?

Like Sting said, "Murder is the sport of the elected."

342 Re Food Safety: Shutting down food production plants in the name of safetyism scares me more than the bacteria that causes the FDA over-reaction. Whether it’s the Abbot baby formula plant, or the prolonged shut down of Blue Bell Creameries over a case or two of listeria, allowing the FDA to inflict death penalties on companies and plants is dangerous overkill.

345 The current state of the climate frenzied world reminds me of the Star Trek episode in which Anton Karidian finally is caught for spearheading the massacre of half the people he led. He killed half so that the other half would survive a disaster....which never occurred. We have imitated so much from the series, but Governor Kodos the Executioner should have been left unimitated.

348 there is no "Biden"...he`s a cipher...a beard ..that`s been true for his entire political career....he`s been sitting there decade after decade until they needed his prefabbed "blue collar joe" identity...his moderate facade...first to help obama get the most easily manipulated,guilt-ridden white vote and then to play the humble middle of the road good guy vs the evil orange-man.......

it took a very long time but they finally went to the bullpen and called in their situational reliever... even though what was left was only a miserable husk of a bullshit artist,they did a great p.r. job on trump and a large swath pf america fell for it hook,line and sinker...

as usual,while the repubs were busy lining their pockets doing their "donor-whore" schtick,the dems were playing the long game....

352 I think a sports analogy fits. You have a really bad coach telling Biden what to do and Biden is a horrible quarterback. What will happen? You'll constantly be losing in ways you could never have predicted. Even if the coach makes a good call once in a while, Biden will fumble the ball. Even when you have a weak opponent & the ball bounces your way, you find a way to lose.

E.g., the coach says cut US energy supplies, which the QB does, but he shows so much weakness that Putin attacks the Ukraine. Now you have massive price hikes in fuel. They both look around and don't know what happened. They're so stupid that they think this was all bad luck. And they never change any of their policies in reaction to their failures.
