Media members are beginning to ask bumbling Joe Biden tough questions and he’s not holding his composure well under the unaccustomed heat from formerly fawning sycophants.
Where were these kinds of questions during his presidential campaign, when he hid out and said virtually nothing and it all was accepted?
Rifts within the regime, such as unhappiness in the Biden-Kamala Harris marriage of convenience, are being aired publicly.
Why now?
Polls are being published that a majority of Americans question Biden’s mental ability to be president, doubt he’s actually making the decisions, and don’t see Harris as qualified to step into the position.
Where were these people during the election, when these two lightweights allegedly won with record vote totals?
Some see these recent happenings as shocking. They’re actually fairly predictable if you’ve applied critical reasoning to the whole Biden ascent to the Oval Office.
It began when a foundering Biden campaign had life breathed into it from an unholy alliance of lamestream media, social media power brokers and others who made the determination that Biden, for all his shortcomings and ethical baggage, was the only hope of preventing Donald Trump from a second term as president.
The de facto coup attempts from the media and intelligence agencies had failed to remove Trump from office. Biden, if only he could be kept under blankets for much of the campaign, could win if the usual Democratic vote-enhancing apparatus could be magnified to heretofore unseen levels. And it was.
Harris, who had shown herself to be an empty suit during her brief presidential campaign, was viewed as key to swinging women and minorities into the Biden camp, or at least presenting a plausible explanation for any outsized gains Biden might realize in those demographics.
Biden was the beard to enable social justice warriors to get their backup dream, that being a woman of color in a position where she was but a heartbeat from the presidency. Now she wouldn’t need to win an election heading the ticket, just wait like a vulture for Biden’s physical and mental decline to reach a death spiral.
When the time came, and that time seems to be now, the pretense that Biden is capable could be dropped. Throw him to the wolves in the media who have new marching orders. Watch him fumble and bumble under the pressure of the office, and collapse predictably into a puddle of incoherent babble.
All of a sudden the egomaniacal DR. JILL BIDEN would have no helpers in keeping the reality of Joe Biden hidden behind the curtain.
That’s why Biden has continued to be trotted out in public to duck blame and rationalize the chaotic Afghanistan pullout by blaming Trump, gutless Afghan political leadership and military, and any other number of patsies for the debacle.
This isn’t playing well with a skeptical public and Biden’s handlers know it.
If the Biden puppeteers had wanted to keep Joe viable as president, they would have cut off his media exposure after his address to the nation in which he noted – correctly – that it was time to get out of Afghanistan.
It’s the details, and Biden’s consistently pathetic and contradictory rationalizations for the continuing horror stories about that Afghanistan pullout, that are undermining any faith that his acolytes among the public had in him.
Expect Biden to be allowed to continue to twist in the wind as more and more sad tales from Afghanistan get full-blown media coverage from people who formerly asked Biden “hard-hitting” questions about his preferences in ice cream or socks.
When the time is right, Biden’s handlers will leak some damning story to the media, or provide video of him sitting under his desk sucking his thumb, or reveal some Hunter Biden baggage that can’t be explained away.
Or maybe it will be something else, like Biden taking himself out of the picture, citing physical and/or mental problems. But if Biden doesn’t take advantage of that possible out, make no mistake he is being walked to the gallows and one or more of his former allies have their hands on the lever that will open the trapdoor.
All that’s left to be determined is the timing.
