Joe Biden gave a confused address at the White House on Wednesday evening that was supposed to address why he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race. Instead, he had so little respect for the American people he didn’t even lay out the specific reason, saying only that he dropped out to unite the party and “save democracy.” So basically he was admitting this was an effort to increase their chances in the election. It was a cynical attack on democracy, throwing the votes of millions of Americans under the bus. He tried to convince us he was “saving democracy” by ultimately caving to the attack on democracy.
During the speech, the first thing that struck me immediately was his pupils looked dilated and he was badly slurring, even for him. He said he decided the best way forward was to “pass the torch to a new generation.” Um, no, you aren’t a king and you don’t get to decide who takes over. The Democrats left him in there during the primary, telling everyone that he was fine and the best option. But then, once everyone voted for him and they realized they were going to lose, they wanted to swap him out — and in the meantime, Kamala Harris didn’t have to face a primary for the position. So he thinks he can just crown her without a vote. Even BLM isn’t buying that strategy.
But one of the things that I found striking about all this — besides the Democrats thinking they can put this over on us — was how stricken all the Bidens looked now that they were about to be booted from power, particularly Jill and Hunter. I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for them after everything Joe put the country through. Their grip on power is swiftly coming to an end and they don’t look at all happy. Now, that’s a great thing.
