They Deserve It

 

 

I am shocked.  I simply can't believe it.

Do you mean to tell me that Joe Biden was out of it for most of his presidency? [Definition of "out of it":  Totally cuckoo for Coco Puffs]

And his White House fooled the national press corps?  All of these Ivy League school graduates who would take valuable time out of their schedules to explain how the mean, nasty right-wing media (i.e.: FOX News) would do "deep fakes" and make fun of Biden's stutter?

 In case you don't remember, Joe Biden was elected President in 2020 despite being four-hundred-years old. He was elected because his name was not Donald Trump, a New York land developer best well known for being well known and being an egotistical turd, on his good days. 

There was also the matter of COVID-19, which was all the rage back then. The sliver of the electorate that determines our Presidential elections was tired of Trump and all of his Trump-ness and thought maybe Joe Biden was normal.

There were several problems.  One was being four-hundred-years old. Another was that Biden wasn't exactly Einstein when he wasn't four-hundred-years old.  Other problems included that he's never been a good manager, and he's a terrible, dishonest person. Other than that, he's fine.

However, age was the biggest issue. Biden would fall up steps. Biden would fall off his bicycle. I was in high school when Ford was President and Ford's mishaps was all you ever heard about.

But you heard nothing from our famed news media, the media that wasn't about to let democracy die in darkness, about Biden and his mishaps because, you know, Trump was out there lurking around.

Biden's speeches, when he was not drilled on how important the speech was, were a mess.

In 2023, there was a private school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. Three children and three adults were killed.  The news announces that THE PRESIDENT will comment on the incident and how it wouldn't happen if we just had these sensible gun laws on the books. The President is announced. He shuffles to the podium. He spends five minutes, at the beginning of his speech, talking about how much he likes ice cream. 

 It didn't take a physician to realize the President wasn't all there. 

The problem wasn't Biden. The problem was that the legacy news media had morphed into a partisan outlet for the Democratic Party. 

H. L. Mencken said a journalist was supposed to "afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted." But that's not true.  A journalist is supposed to report what is happening regardless of who it is affecting.

 Ever since the late fifties, national journalism has tilted to the left. Somewhere in the mid-nineties, journalism, especially television journalism, reacted in horror to FOX News being a GOP organ, decided to wear the Democratic Badge proudly. 

When Trump came along, the legacy media 1) could not believe he was elected and 2) would run any story that could possibly inflict damage on Trump and his administration.

When 2020 came around, the Democrats had around twenty potential candidates for the nomination. The one thing that united all of these candidates is they were all, historically speaking, dingleberries. 

It came down to either Biden, a socialist, or one of the dingleberries.  The Democrats went with Biden and he was able to run a campaign from his basement. It worked for him because they could hid his condition with little or no effort.

The Legacy News Media had to have known that they were being played, but in the greatest use of Situation Ethics in the century, they decided not to report the Biden's condition for the good of the country.  You don't want Orange Mussolini again, do you?

Some of the reporting from the New York Times, which has all the news that's fit to print, is funny.

When Special Counsel Robert Hur said Biden presented as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and with “diminished faculties", the Times trotted out medical experts who said the special counsel’s opinions “were not based on science and that its methods bore no resemblance to those that doctors use to assess possible cognitive impairment.” 

You need doctors to tell you that when Grandpa drove into a pond, he could possibly have cognitive impairment.

It wasn't until after his performance in the June debate with Trump that the Democrat Party and the Legacy News Media saw the gaslighting had to stop and finally admit Biden has been defeated by the all-time champ: Time.

Now you have books out by people like Jake Tapper explaining that it was dirty dogs in the White House that hid the President's condition.  They were as shocked as you were because everything they ever heard about the President was that he was as sharp as a tack. 

For only $27.00, you can buy Tapper's book, which helps Tapper deal with being fooled into thinking Joe Biden was A-OK.

And the Legacy News Media wonders why we dumb-dumbs that had to go to state colleges, if we went at all, do not trust them.
