“Myself? Why should I pardon myself? No, I have no contemplation of pardoning myself. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
President Joe Biden, The Washington Examiner, Jan.10, 2025
Seems like I’ve heard that line somewhere. Oh, that’s right, Joe repeated a near-identical message numerous times before he pardoned his son, Hunter, for firearms and income tax crimes.
I knew it sounded familiar. According to Joe, Hunter must not have done anything wrong, either.
This means Joe may be getting ready to do the opposite of what he says he will not do — pardon himself.
There is nothing new about this. Joe’s entire career has been a series of false statements after another. To such an extent, it isn’t easy to distinguish between truth and fiction. It all blends in a sort of Mulligan Stew concoction, with bits of authenticity and accuracy mixed with pieces of deceptions and prevarications.
No wonder the media has difficulty reporting what Joe’s trying to say. Between his mumbling, rambling, and baffling comments, it can be challenging to make sense of it, mainly when he meanders away from the podium in mid-sentence.
Nevertheless, President Joe remains confident that he and Kamala could have defeated Trump in the November election, regardless of what the media, polls, and vote tally indicated.
If I recall correctly, Trump beat Kamala in November. Maybe Joe didn’t get the memo, or if he did, he’s already forgotten.
Explaining his decision to withdraw from the election, Joe described his motive as “I didn’t want to be one who caused a party that wasn’t unified to lose an election. And that’s why I stepped aside. But I was confident she could win” he told the Examiner.
Joe, you missed the point again — you didn’t step aside from the party; the party stepped aside from you.
As often happens, Joe was wrong about Kamala’s voter appeal. She lost the Presidency and the Senate, House, and Electoral College. It was a clean sweep for Trump.
This is a pretty good indication of how most people felt about Joe, Kamala, and the Democrats’ governing policies. All three were defeated.
Adding a little more emphasis to the situation, Blue California’s abysmal Democrat agendas have just about wrecked the entire state. HThesegoofballs can’t even extinguish the fire without destroying billions of dollars in property.
I’m just guessing, but maybe Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—who was in Africa at the time of the fires—was on a firefighter recruiting visit. Or why else was she there? Is there something in Africa the residents of the L.A. area desperately needed as their communities burned to the ground?
Can you take this stuff up? It’s pathetic.
On Wednesday evening, Jan. 15, President Joe will bless us with his Farewell Address. Woo-Hoo, the b.s. will damn near be nauseating. Please put on your boots, grab a few Midol’s, and turn down the volume ’cause it’s gonna get deep and loud.
The theme, as always, will probably be “Democrats, good — Republicans, bad,” linked with the usual serving of “It’s Trump’s Fault!”
By the time he finishes his sales pitch, you’ll wonder if Joe’s talking about Paradise or the United States, which has a debt load of $36 trillion, is migrant-infested, overly regulated, excessively taxed, poorly managed, and is led by a single-term administration that will be noted as one of the worst in recorded world history.
Sadly, the puffed-up egos of the buffoons running the place can’t even be embarrassed by their incompetency and stupidity. It’s utterly amazing the illusions of grandeur they have for themselves. Documented facts, videos, and witness testimony mean nothing to them.
Their narcissism is limitless, as is the capacity to spin catastrophe into success. Their thinking is entirely different from most people’s.
Obviously.
I agree that Joe and his team’s noon departure on Jan. 20 will be a day of unbridled celebration—unless he somehow manages to mess that up, too.
Which, I’ve learned, is entirely possible!
