Suddenly Joe Biden ISN'T George Washington

I remember the halcyon days when Joe Biden's brave decision to exit the presidential race put him in the category of the great political figures in history.

The big question was: was he Cincinnatus or George Washington reborn? Biden's selfless act of stepping down from power and handing the future over to the capable hands of Kamala Harris was a move worthy of the history books. 

The story was always bunk and was spun together on the fly as part of the deal that Democrats made in a desperate bid to cling to power after it became clear that Biden was going to get crushed at the ballot box. The very same people who were trashing Biden days before were praising him to the heavens. 

In America, at least, power is not supposed to be grasped onto forever and wielded like a personal weapon. Our politicians are supposed to be servants, not masters, and positions of power belong to no person but to the people at large. In the real world, it rarely works that way. Since 1980, no presidential ticket hasn't had a Biden, a Bush, or a Clinton on it, and this year would have had a Biden on it but for the fact that Joe Biden was pushed out.

No one who praised Biden for stepping down actually believed their bulls**t, obviously. After all, the very same people had been stabbing Biden in the back as if he were Julius Caesar on the Ides of March, but they expected us to buy the gaslighting just as they expected Americans to believe that Biden was "sharp as a tack."

Democrats are directing their rage over losing the presidential race at Joe Biden, who they blame for setting up Kamala Harris for failure by not dropping out sooner.

They say his advancing age, questions over his mental acuity and deep unpopularity put Democrats at a sharp disadvantage. They are livid that they were forced to embrace a candidate who voters had made clear they did not want — and then stayed in the race long after it was clear he couldn’t win.

“He shouldn’t have run,” said Jim Manley, a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “This is no time to pull punches or be concerned about anyone’s feelings. He and his staff have done an enormous amount of damage to this country.”

According to interviews with nearly a dozen officials and party operatives, Biden squandered valuable months only to end in disaster on the debate stage. And by the time he decided to pass the torch, he had saddled Harris with too many challenges and far too little time to build a winning case for herself.

Being believed, no matter what they say, is a birthright in their eyes. Telling the truth is as alien to them as the surface of Titan. 

Now that the Democrats have been soundly defeated by an American people sick and tired of their gaslighting, the knives are out for Biden once again. A few days ago, he was the statesman who saved America, and today, he is the selfish old man who sacrificed the Democrats' hold on power in order to keep his own. 

Unburdened by what has been, Democrats are spewing their bile in one of the only directions that make sense to them: the American people, who are racist, sexist, xenophobic, and transphobic Hitler-lovers, and Joe Biden.

Now I am all for pissing on Joe Biden's grave; he may be senile and hence lacking defenses, but he has spent his entire life lying, grasping for power, using his position of power to enrich himself by selling out America and slandering Americans who stand in his way. 

None of these people care about Americans, and their anger is an expression of their rage that they will lose the ability to bully us with their insane demands. They never, ever tell the truth except when it serves their purpose, and even then, they do so with the intent to shape an overall narrative that is profoundly deceptive. 

Millions of Americans are emotionally broken today because they believed the lies. The transnational elite demanded that they believe the most outrageous things and they complied, trusting that the "experts" had their best interests at heart. Lives have been sacrifice, trillions of dollars transferred to the wealthy, and our social trust has been destroyed by power-hungry madmen who believe God intended for them to inherit the earth. 

I don't blame the people who put their trust in the elite--at least not the ones who were complete a**holes. I blame the people who gaslighted them and broke their minds.

Joe Biden's debate performance woke a lot of people up to the fact that our elites are liars corroding the foundation of our society; let their vicious attacks on "George Washington" Biden wake even more of them up now.
