When fourth-term senator Joe Biden built his Wilmington, Delaware, home in 1996, he had no plans to turn it into a backup office, let alone a presidential-campaign isolation bunker from which to plan a crisis presidency an order of magnitude more expansive than anything in the past half-century. Now, nearly every morning, Biden spins through an early Peloton ride in the upstairs weight room, dresses (formally, no sweatpants), drinks his breakfast shake, and sits at the phone in his study awaiting the latest updates on the world’s misery. Then, sometimes looking at the small lake abutting his backyard that bulges out from Little Mill Creek,

I'll take Three Trillion Dollars and more to come, Alex.
We already have a "crisis presidency an order of magnitude more expansive than anything in the past half-century". Wait until your state and local governments come after you for more property, sales, gas, and income tax money to cover their losses and cash flow disruptions. That money the Feds are tossing around comes from an empty Treasury, whether printed or borrowed. And bet they won't bail out the states...and hand everyone more cheese money. We're all socialists now.

Hahahahahhaaaa.... Give it up commiecrats. You've got nothing. Because Biden can't string a coherent sentence together, they have to write this dribble for him.

sloppy joe isn't planning anything, but someone is. He's so far gone now he can't find his ass with either hand.
If the chinese disease scam (along with the inevitable massive voter fraud attack) tips the win to the left, we're pretty much dead. At that point the system will become so corrupt and rigged there will be no coming back.
This is serious, serious business.

Just great. A depression that lasted 12 years due to FDR’s perverse economic policies. A World War that FDR campaigned to keep us out of because he couldn’t run on having ended the Depression in 1940. And a war he was quietly getting us into while never improving the capabilities and size of military. A president that forced 100,000+ Japanese Americans into camps. A president who enforced segregation in the armed forces, with white officers leading black units and black plasma kept separate from white plasma. And a president who was truly in collusion with Russia in allowing Stalin to seize Eastern Europe. That FDR?

FTA?: Before taking on any political matters - - Biden makes corrections to Einstein's Theory of Relativity - - advances his own well-developed theories of nuclear fusion - - performs brain surgery on some local patients - - runs head-to-head with a heavily-breathing Usain Bolt - - and bakes a few gross of brownies for the local Campfire Girls.
(Or at least that's what imagine they wrote.)

Given the number of failed attempts he's already had, I'd say it would be more accurate to assert that he's planning an Adlai Stevenson-size presidency.

Biden's presidency will rattle inside a thimble, because it will be non-existent.

The enemedia are planning to treat Biden like FDR, like collaborating to pretend he's not crippled, along with hiding anything else that might be embarrassing to him.

Old Joe Biden just about always talks about the past, and his time in the Obama Administration. Now he appears to be going back further into the pre Second World War era of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But elections are about the future, not the past, especially the upcoming general election in November where the country must elect a President who is going to be able to restore the US economy big time. Looking at Biden’s past forty years as a DC liberal Democrat “UniParty” lawyer-politician it looks like his foray was a lot of political corruption and race baiting with no interest in the economy, while in contrast after President Trump’s three and a half years in DC, without taking any salary, he has been known for building up the US economy first and foremost, and was very successful in doing that, until the Chinese Communists effectively dropped what amounts to a neutron bomb on the US economy and other economies across the world. That was not Trump’s fault. Now the election must be won, primarily on who can bring the US economy back, clearly Trump is the candidate who has showed that he knows how to do that, while Biden has shown that at times he does not know which way is up!

You are already hearing Schumer and Pelosi say "we need a Rooseveltian response". In other words, we need to spend trillions on government programs and leftist pipe dreams to get the economy back to some sense of normal. Here is a transcript of a meeting of Roosevelt's Treasury Secretary and Economic Advisers after 8 years of spending and socialist programs during the Great Depression.
[U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr.]: No, gentlemen, we have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong, as far as I am concerned, somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises…
But why not let’s come to grips? And as I say, all I am interested in is to really see this country prosperous and this form of Government continue, because after eight years if we can’t make a success somebody else is going to claim the right to make it and he’s got the right to make the trial. I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started.
Mr. Doughton: And an enormous debt to boot!
HMJr.: And an enormous debt to boot! We are just sitting here and fiddling and I am just wearing myself out and getting sick. Because why? I can’t see any daylight. I want it for my people, for my children, and your children. I want to see some daylight and I don’t see it…
