We’re nonetheless caught with Joe Biden as president for six months. He may need handed the political torch to VP Kamala Harris however he nonetheless has management of the nuclear soccer. Or possibly Dr. Jill and Hunter do.
Both method, it’s a daunting message to ship to the world: The US president is simply too cognitively impaired to run for re-election in November however he’s staying on as commander in chief till January.
You possibly can wager that leaving the president in place, regardless of the plain peril to America, was a part of the deal Biden struck to go quietly as Nancy Pelosi and the Obamacans ratcheted up the ache.
Final week, when the president was digging in his heels in Rehoboth Seashore amid damaging leaks from his personal aspect that solely obtained his Irish up, one insider advised me: “This isn’t a contest. That is the president’s determination . . .
“Publicly pressuring him after they don’t have any various [candidate challenging him] as a substitute of attempting to work one thing out with the chief they wish to retire is backfiring.”
After all, “working one thing out” for his personal profit has at all times been the purpose with Biden, whether or not it’s his donors offering grace and favor jobs at inflated costs for his wayward son and different relations, or President Xi Jinping blessing Hunter’s profitable enterprise enterprise after he flew into Beijing with dad on Air Drive Two.
Cue the farewell tour
Staying within the White Home till Jan. 20 provides Biden loads of time to orchestrate pardons for Hunter and his brother Jim and whomever else within the household is in authorized hassle. No matter what he claimed earlier than Hunter’s felony gun conviction, the pardon was at all times coming. No method does the household belief Kackling Kamala to do the deed.
You possibly can wager Air Drive One and Camp David will probably be working extra time for as many dream holidays and bucket record needs for as many prolonged relations as he can squeeze in. Maybe one other ancestral journey to Eire or to Rome for a final blessing from his favourite pope. It is going to be one lengthy victory lap.
Six months is loads of time to burnish Biden’s legacy with the assistance of the so-called historians who’ve been carrying a gap within the carpet of his workplace and the compliant media who’ve ignored his corruption and cognitive decline for 4 years.
Loads of time to bask within the saccharine reward of his traitorous fellow Democrats.
It’s already rampant on MSNBC and X as sycophants journey over one another to wax lyrical in regards to the biggest president that ever lived, an excellent and respectable man, Sincere Joe, who at all times put his nation first.
“Some of the selfless issues a president can do,” gushed MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “He put his ego apart.”
I suppose that’s a technique of describing saving your individual pores and skin when there’s a gun at your head.
that monetary incentives will need to have been a part of Biden’s exit bundle as nicely. In spite of everything, for over 50 years he and his prolonged household have lived excessive on the teat of his energy and affect in Washington. That every one involves a screeching halt subsequent January until he engineers a golden parachute.
Blago’s blunt evaluation
For an perception into the way it may work, there are few individuals extra educated in regards to the again room offers of the Chicago political machine than Rod “Blago” Blagojevich, the previous Illinois governor and Barack Obama intimate who was impeached and spent eight years in a federal jail on public corruption expenses over a deal to promote the Senate seat Obama vacated when he grew to become president.
“When you understand the man who’s the conductor of the orchestra — and that’s Obama somebody I’ve identified since 1995 — it’s very straightforward for me to see his arms throughout [the deal to remove Biden from the ticket],” says Blago, 67.
The most recent on President Biden’s determination to drop out of the 2024 presidential race:
“It’s basic sneaky Chicago backroom politics. The leaking of filth utilizing third events and a coordinated marketing campaign that was deliberate and has been unfolding for the previous few weeks. It’s intelligent and until you’ve skilled it your self chances are you’ll not see it. It’s simply as apparent to me because the DNC working with the DOJ who’s working with Biden and the Oval Workplace utilizing the DOJ as a political weapon to make use of in opposition to Trump.”
He noticed Obama’s solicitousness when Biden froze on stage throughout a Hollywood fundraiser final month as a sign to the social gathering that it was time for the ailing Massive Man to go.
For a marketing campaign that was purported to run on “saving democracy”, we now see one other election during which the Democratic bosses, not the American individuals, are selecting the nominee.
Obama and Nancy Pelosi, along with Hollywood elites, Wall Road financiers and Silicon Valley billionaires (besides Elon Musk) determine simply how a lot democracy we deserve.
Hidin’ technique is over
Blago says that Obama and Co. knew that Biden’s mind was kaput in 2020 after they chosen him because the candidate to kill off Bernie Sanders’ populist momentum.
“They have been in a position to conceal him within the basement [during the 2020 campaign] due to the distinctive state of affairs with COVID. What shocked me is that they obtained away with it for thus lengthy as a result of the media protected them.”
After Biden’s disastrous debate in opposition to Donald Trump final month during which he was barely coherent, “the reality was in a position to put its pants on and what Obama and the Democratic bosses knew alongside, that he was not match to be the candidate and subsequently the president obtained too apparent. So from the again room like an old style Chicago political boss, Obama organizes an effort to push Biden apart. It exhibits how the Democratic elites have full contempt for the American voter.”
As for what Biden extracted from his capitulation, Blago suggests a deifying presidential library alongside the strains of the one Obama’s donors have funded for him on the shores of Lake Michigan at Hyde Park in Chicago, that Blago drives previous each day.
Board seats with fats salaries for relations might be on the playing cards. Donors will present, a technique or different, says Blago, who provides this warning: “Obama despatched an emissary to make a political take care of me and I ended up in jail for eight years.”
No matter goodies the Bidens find yourself with, the subsequent six months will probably be a grift fest to behold, with Dr. Jill kicking off proceedings. She jets off to Paris for the Olympics this week.
Grifters gotta grift!
