For the umpteenth time, President Joe Biden has proven America that he is not match to serve.
Not that you simply’d comprehend it from the glowing protection of his all-too-brief primetime handle on Wednesday evening, slurring and audibly gulping his means via probably the most consequential and historic speech of his political profession.
‘Whenever you elected me… I promised to at all times degree with you,’ Biden stated from the Oval Workplace. ‘To inform you the reality.’
The reality?
It is a president who has spent the final 4 years mendacity about his bodily well being and cognitive health.
A president who terrified the world along with his debate efficiency in opposition to former president Donald Trump in June.
For the umpteenth time, President Joe Biden has proven America that he is not match to serve.
A president who needed to be pushed to face down — and, when he lastly did, launched a typewritten letter with a digital signature. It did not even have an official letterhead, or an accompanying picture or video.
However positive, let’s have the sitting US president, a confirmed liar who needed to be shoved out the door by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, lecture us on honesty, democracy, and the indispensable want for integrity.
A president who, because the Mail solely reported Wednesday, needed to be rushed again on a supersonic Air Drive One flight to Delaware final week as a result of he was so sick.
A president whose press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted, on Wednesday, that Biden’s resolution to withdraw ‘had nothing to do along with his well being’ and that he ‘did not step down from campaigning or operating as a result of he did not consider he can serve in a second time period.’
Really, that final half might technically be true. It is everybody else who does not consider he can do it.
Joe Biden, via his personal stubbornness, acquired knifed within the again final week. The wound remains to be uncooked, the stitches recent, and the American citizens is not shopping for this cowboy-at-sunset act.
‘Does character in public life nonetheless matter?’ he requested.
I do not know, Joe — you inform us.
Please, reprimand America about ‘character’ whereas the shameless Dr. Jill and Hunter sit off-screen within the Oval throughout this speech, absolutely mourning their fates as dissolute Delawareans with bleak futures certainly.
Dr. Jill, who informed Vogue post-debate for a canopy interview that you simply’d ‘proceed to struggle’! Hunter, convicted in a single felony case and going through one other, injecting himself into his father’s high-level White Home conferences!
And the place was Kamala, Joe’s ‘unbelievable associate’?
Not on the White Home.

Nope, Kamala is out on the marketing campaign path already, vibrating with glee at her unbelievable luck, smiling ear-to-ear whereas her clearly declining president suffers this brutal humiliation.
She will’t even feign solemnity. She’s incapable of comporting herself with an iota of decorum, of claiming that whereas in fact she dreamt of operating, she by no means needed to get the nomination like this.
No: Kamala is excessive on her personal provide and operating the present.
In the meantime, Dr. Jill is jetting off to the Paris Olympics on Thursday, sucking the final little bit of glamour from the presidential teat whereas leaving her ailing and heartbroken husband to grieve this loss with out her.
Priorities!
Biden, 81, spoke of lastly passing the torch — albeit a torch that needed to be pried from his and Jill’s lizardly, vise-like grips.
He spoke, pedantically, of the necessity for ‘new voices, brisker voices, youthful voices’.
Cackling voices, if you’ll.
Hey — it is higher than slurring voices that degrade into whispers and disintegrate, as Biden’s has throughout this lengthy goodbye.
If he actually believed in honesty, integrity, and character in presidential politics, he would have achieved the one first rate factor: resign from workplace.
‘Nothing,’ he stated, ‘nothing, can are available the way in which of saving our democracy.’
That features you, Joe.
