How Can the Dems Get Rid of Joe?

The Biden hits just keep coming.  Trust in government is collapsing.  Americans are starting to wonder what passes for “normal” in Washington, if this is a return to normalcy.  According to Pew Research, only about 20 percent of Americans trust the government to do what’s right.  That leaves 80 percent who expect government to do what is wrong — as in morally and ethically wrong.

Joe’s fundraising is also lackluster.  Politico reports that the Dems are concerned that Joe isn’t inspiring their donor class anymore.  If this keeps up, the party isn’t going to have the money it needs to steal the next election.  Democrats are finding out that donors don’t spend as much on influence when it looks as though influence is going to be in short supply.

That brings me to Joe’s polling.  The cost of living is up, wages are down, and personal savings are evaporating.  An NBC poll found that 71 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong path — and they know who the trail boss is.  So Joe’s numbers are down.  Pew Research reports that his approval has fallen to 37 percent.  Unless Joe finds a way to spend us out of economic collapse, or buys a Men in Black neuralyzer to wipe the last three years of our memory, public opinion is not likely to improve much.

Then there are the congressional investigations.  The Dems should have watched a few of those forensic crime shows.  Apparently, they didn’t know that moving money around leaves an audit trail.  But the Republicans knew it, and they’re using their shiny new subpoena powers to follow it.  And if bank records aren’t enough, it turns out there are still a few ethical people working in government.  The whistleblowers are coming forward.  They may have been able to stomach a bit of Washington’s shenanigans, but what they’re seeing now is causing too much nausea to bear.  They’re letting the House investigators know where to send the subpoenas.  The money for influence scandal is growing by the day.

As my grandmother would say, the Dems are in a pickle.  Panic is beginning to set in.  They’re looking forward to 2024 with no successes, inadequate money, voter pessimism, and a candidate who can’t walk across a stage without falling or shaking hands with Harvey the invisible rabbit.
