Was Joe Biden ever competent?

Joe Biden was never smart. When I interned in Congress for two summers many years ago, other congressional members openly referred to him as one of the dumbest men on Capitol Hill. Staffers and interns, including ones who worked for Democrats, made fun of him. Old age and dementia have done this dull man no favors. That was apparent over the weekend when Biden, stupidly even for him, went off script and called for regime change in Russia. It also was apparent a few months ago, when Biden may have precipitated the war by, according to President Zelensky's account of their phone call, encouraging Ukraine to apply

No, he wasn't. The man has always been a racist and maybe even a segregationist in his youth. He's on record saying some less than polite things. Then to give a speech in a presidential race that you attempt to pass off as your own? Wow.

No. I remember Bidet's Presidential run when he was lying about his resume and plagiarizing speeches. Back then Demonrat leadership knew the fool they had and told him to get the hell outta the race, which he did. Fast forward and leave it to Obola to pick a doofus clown for his Veep. In hindsight I'm wondering if Obola wanted Bidet just because of the crime family. I'm also wondering just how much Obola knew about Joe's "business" and when he knew it. Same question about Hillary too.

No. Not very smart ever. Insecure, he had to make up stories to bolster himself, never realizing that those who heard them knew they were made up. He was a bully when he headed the Senate Judiciary Committee. Although he hung on to being a Catholic, he had no core. No real belief. Just something more to put on with his suit and tie. He is and always has been weak and untrustworthy.

#2, please give the Kennedy family their share of credit for choose Biden as VP for Obama. It was Caroline Kennedy who "vetted" him and recommended him. Obama and the Dems are so caught up in the "Kennedy mystique" and Camelot fantasy, that her word was valued, when, in fact, she seems to have very limited experience outside her elitist society bubble.

A valid indication of his true degree of competency, and his own Party's awareness of it is...He never ran, because he never could have been elected, in his actual home-state of Pennsylvania. (he only ever talks about Penna, seldom if ever even a mention of Delaware) In NONE of his dozen or so elections since the age of 28...he has never had a Job outside of elected office... has he ever received more than 165,000 votes, most elections he was around 114,000. Mid sized city mayors need more than that to win.

As long as Biden remained in the US Senate, which is an old boys club, it did not matter if Biden was dumb as a stump, as the Senate “UniParty” takes care of their members. That is as long as the big banks incorporated in Delaware ensured that Biden, their political tool, kept being re-elected, Biden was home free. Clearly one of the most important tasks that Trump accomplished during his sojourn in DC was to “out” the “UniParty” vast operation in DC.

As someone who has spent the majority of my adult life in the DC area and has always been a keen follower of politics, I know who these politicians are, and during the election I told everyone I could that Joe Biden is, always has been, and always will be a blithering moron. But I guess too many were willing to take a blithering moron over a mean Tweeter who was otherwise competent. We're paying the price for that now. And as I've posted before, put a re***d in power and re*****d schiff is gonna happen.

Joe Biden made some remarks on the death of Alexi Navalny on Friday. Biden blamed Russian leader Vladimir Putin for his death, emphasizing, "Putin is responsible." While he made a brief tribute to Navalny, he turned it back to his constant complaint, saying that we had to provide more money to Ukraine because of this. He claimed, as he has in the past, that the "failure to support Ukraine will never be forgotten." Then you could see him squinting and reading off the teleprompter as he attacked former President Donald Trump, but his brain seemed to break in mid-point as he just stopped and looked so old

Paul McCartney has been reunited with the original Höfner bass guitar he bought in the early 1960s that was stolen in the '70s, the former Beatles member confirmed Wednesday. "Following the launch of last year's Lost Bass project, Paul's 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was stolen in 1972, has been returned," read a brief statement on McCartney's website. "The guitar has been authenticated by Höfner and Paul is incredibly grateful to all those involved." McCartney bought the guitar, a left-handed Höfner 500/1 Violin Bass, in Hamburg, Germany, in 1961.

Given the wholesale disaster that has been the Biden presidency, one has to wonder how it all happened. We have all seen the Democrat party become radicalized, almost purely Marxist, since the Obama administration. Obama promised to transform the country and he surely did. He effectively drove race relations backward by seventy years. It is common knowledge that Obama despised his VP Biden. Why he was chosen to be his VP in the first place is anybody’s guess. Biden was a known jerk, a racist (his mentor was KKK member/aficionado Robert Byrd), rather dumb, a plagiarist, and a pathological liar.

Are the wheels really beginning to come off the Democrat’s chances of keeping the Presidency in 2024, or is it a ruse? It appears they are behind the eight-ball as to having a winning presidential candidate, but are they really? Do Not Be Fooled. For this discussion, I’m leaving out the possibility of voting irregularities and assuming the race will be fair. (I know, I know…) It became apparent three years ago that Biden would not be able to run in 2024 due to age-related issues. It was even doubtful that he would finish his one term.

After months of fighting, Hamas had been forced to fall back to its stronghold in Rafah on the Egyptian border. And the pressure on Israel not to go into Rafah intensified. Not only AOC and Bernie Sanders, but Biden warned Israel not go in because of the “humanitarian impact”. Israel went in and brought out two hostages. The IDF said it launched several airstrikes in Rafah as a diversion for the rescue operation. The rescue unit breached the building at 1:49 a.m. The force came down from the roof and detonated a bomb to breach a door on the second floor, eliminated the Hamas guards and picked up the two hostages.

Late last week President Biden dispatched administration officials to conciliate offended opponents of Israel’s war on Hamas. They were sent — where else? — to America’s jihad capital (i.e., Dearborn). The delegation included deputy national security adviser Jon Finer and USAID administrator Samantha Power. Their object was to smooth relations with the locals. Readers with a long memory may recall Samantha Power as the author of “A Problem From Hell“ and an Israel hater who served in the Obama administration. Power now serves as the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development. She and her friends are themselves a problem from hell. The New York Times

This story will make you miss the days when education was about actually learning skills and subjects that would help to equip children for adulthood. A Seattle high school issued a reading assignment featuring nine supposed traits of white supremacy. The assignment in question dives deep into progressive racial theory and is ostensibly intended to promote critical thinking about America’s societal structures. But a closer look reveals its actual aim: To further indoctrinate children into progressive ideology on race issues. Students in a Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of “white supremacy,” in the latest Seattle Public Schools high school controversy.

One of the tricks of knowing when a leftist judge is pulling a fast one is if the decision is really, really long. (snip) Indeed, generally speaking, in my thirty-five years as an attorney, I’ve never seen an appellate court uphold damages so disproportionate to actual injuries suffered—and again, there were no injuries in this case. The fact that there were no injuries in itself means that the case, from ig to zack, denied Trump due process. I don’t see the judgment surviving an appeal, that’s for sure. (snip) And so, I think that this latest assault on Trump, rather than filling people with revulsion, will bring many around.

This case could possibly be the start of the end of the United States as we know it if it is not overturned. The unprecedented lawfare suits against America’s favorite president has not put a dent in his popularity with voters. In fact, it is having the opposite effect.

Is there a Margaret Thatcher in the house who can help stiffen Joe Biden’s spine? The late British prime minister, in a 1990 phone call during the early days of the first Gulf war, famously told a hesitant President George H. W. Bush that it “was no time to go wobbly.” As Thatcher recounts in her first memoir, “The Downing Street Years,” Bush appeared reluctant to act decisively following Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. Although the United Nations Security Council approved a trade embargo of Iraq, it was left largely to the US and UK to enforce it. Fortunately, Bush adopted the Iron Lady’s resolve and soon unleashed Operation Desert Storm, leading to
