Joe Biden has turned out to be the great unifier alright. He’s got most everyone silently agreeing that he’s demented. Where is the universal condemnation of these acts, this behavior, and that divisive man who lies so easily and blithely?
And therein lies the emerging danger of this 46th aberrant presidency. Just as various forms of flu and COVID variants are becoming everyday endemic in our lives, we are as a society coming to accept this amazingly incompetent president as endemically part of our shared national life.
The excuse: What can anyone do about it, right? The media, which was handed its constitutional protections to hold accountable officials on all sides, is certainly doing little to question the dangerous situation. Democrats in Congress know many of them are about to be evicted in midterm elections come November. They’re not going to point out the emperor’s invisible attire. //
Biden is so insecure and/or dim that he’s incapable of realizing how forgiving and how much credit Americans are prepared to award a leader who at least appears to be humble, admits mistakes, seeks support. //
Meanwhile, we cannot allow ourselves to become accustomed to and comfortable with this dolt in office, to wince at his incoherence and rampant stupidities and let them pass. That’s what that crowd is counting on.
“Oh, it’s just goofy ol’ Uncle Joe.” That’s been his crutch and excuse for decades. Too dangerous now. Because Uncle Joe has a quick temper — and the nuclear launch codes.
