Joe Biden, Sinking into the Sand

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 8/22/2021 6:53:23 AM

In his sonnet "Ozymandias," poet Percy Bysshe Shelley tells of a traveler who comes upon a desert ruin that was once an ancient empire. All that is left of it are "two vast and trunkless legs of stone" and a sneering imperial stone "visage" half-buried in the sand. Etched on a pedestal are the words: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair." Joe Biden is a latter-day Ozymandias, with a tremendous thirst for power and a misplaced sense of invulnerability. But unlike the ancient royal ruler, it will not take eons for Biden's power to erode.

Comments:

I've always equated Ozymandias with Obama, but it fits here as well. I found myself nodding in agreement with every word of this article.

Creepy Joe is fast approaching a Mussolini moment. The only question here is when will the Taliban send a rescue plane to get this clown out of the country before he and Dr Jill find themselves decorating a lamp post in DC.

All true. Biden is a evil old man with dementia. He should never have been elected. I blame the MSM for covering for him and lying about him. They own this too.

Let’s make one thing “perfectly clear”…the mainstream media, facebook and twitter are responsible foe the debacle in Afghanistan. Joe Biden was just their tool. They are responsible for him being in office and every action he has (and has not) taken.

Biden was just a vessel by the swamp to remove Trump. That’s it. Trump was too much of a political outsider who could not be bought and therefore was a threat to the swamp’s power. Now, Biden is too much of a liability to the swamp and is about to drop him.

I don't really see Xiden as the modern day Ozymandias. He doesn't lust for power. He lusts for money (and ice cream). He is nothing but a sock puppet of those that do crave power above all else.

The problem here is what do we get when we get rid of Biden. Joe won't be there much longer if he isn't removed by some act of Government he will be physically incapable of staying. He is rapidly going downhill. His wife dr. Jill is greatly responsible for this mess. She knew what his mental state was and let the Democrats do this to us and to him. Now we will end up with a cackling fool to replace him. Chuck the schmuck and Nancy Pelousi have been quiet lately where are they hiding. Well I don't know about the schmuck, but Nancy has a hard-on for anyone who entered the Capitol and instead of trying to clean up this mess the Democrats mad she is haranguing about an insurrection that never was.

Traitor Joe isn't fit to carry Ozymandias' towel. Traitor Joe is the kind of lowlife trash that accumulates in DC, stealing, lying and worming their way into positions of power, slowly, slowly. Always corrupt, always lying, and in the only place where that "skill set" is useful. Everywhere else, this sort of a person is, at best, a used car salesman, or scuzzy city councilman. Joe's days are short, thank goodness.

Americans don't want to hear that the United States is also a stand-in for Ozymandias. We are, of course, exceptional. Except when trying to bend the world to our will. What makes us exceptional is that Americans accept defeat with a smile while suffering from self-incrimination. Unlike the French in Vietnam, for example, we didn't destroy our airbases or other assets. We left them intact, such as Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport, or Da Nang International Airport. Perhaps the future of Baghram. (The Military Times carried a June 29 report that the base closing was imminent, "just a matter of days." The Afghans claim they were not told. Someone get them a subscription. Or, they may be lying.) Like the British and Spaniards, who once had global empires, the US is discovering that being the "Leader of the Free World" gets increasingly expensive, and failure is not tolerated. Someone is always causing trouble, threatening global stability. And America, of course, must respond with ships and MOABS. Here the Afghan government and its security forces cut and run...it's America's fault. And we should feel shame for having futilely invested $6.7 TRILLION and 3000 soldiers' lives over two decades to provide them an opportunity. Sorry, I don't. They are now getting the government and lives they "elected" with their acquiescence.

Biden does not care about the facts mentioned in this article, as he has recently been telling us quite frequently, and you should know by now if you have been paying attention, “I’m President of the United States, for God’s sake”. One thing is for sure, it won’t be long before “Father Time” takes hold, and Biden sinks into his oncoming dementia to the point that even the most staunch leftist and socialist Democrat operatives and their media propagandists will realize that it is time to trade Biden in for a new model.

#13 / #19 definitely has a point when viewed from the perspective of a normal individual. Unfortunately, Obama and Soros both suffer from Messiah Complexes, coupled with the need to reshape the country and the world. It's possible that Obama has outgrown his through his unearned wealth and ability to live large, and the fact that he has always been an underachieving dullard of mediocre intellect. Soros clearly has not, but whether he's involved in the current chaos is anyone's guess.

Our Empathizer-in-Chief has no clothes. The crisis in Afghanistan, mushrooming with the force and immensity of a nuclear bomb, is clearly a huge nuisance for President Biden. His demeanor this week is that of a sullen 12-year-old boy whose summer vacation has been cut short. He had to be dragged from Camp David to address the nation last Monday, and as the week went on he couldn’t believe this was still a thing. Irritation is his current mood. Not even gentle questioning from friendly Democrat George Stephanopoulos could elicit sympathy from Joe.

After four years of President Trump putting America first and gaining respect on the world stage, the American position abroad has crumbled. The Biden administration has wrought so much destruction that it is difficult not to despair about what the future holds. In no place is despair more warranted than in Afghanistan, a country being subjugated by the Taliban now that Biden has ended the American occupation. Women and girls who thought they had a chance for a brighter life are being thrust back to the Dark Ages and sexual slavery. And yet, even in this horrific time, there are heroes among us rising to the occasion.

If you ever doubted that the country was in the hands of some very stupid and corrupt people, this week should have thoroughly disabused you of that fantasy. In one fell swoop, the administration left billions of dollars of military equipment in the hands of the barbarous anti-American Taliban; broke the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance by bugging out without warning to its members who were in Afghanistan in support of our mission there; left as many as 50,000 Americans and tens of thousands more of our Afghan allies to the not so tender mercies of the enemy; and on Friday Biden lied about it all.

[Tweets] Trump, of course, read the crowd and before he came on, had them play a little bit of the Gen. Patton speech, as delivered by George C. Scott. [Tweet] Trump followed that up by saying he wasn’t a fan of ‘woke’ generals but that he didn’t think that Patton was very woke. “You know what woke means?” Trump said. “It means you’re a loser….Everything woke turns to sh**.”

This stunning finding was revealed by retired Marine and former Trump-era Deputy National Advisor Matt Pottinger during an appearance Wednesday on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow.” According to Pottinger, the Qataris have for their part been using their “lines of communication to the Taliban” to arrange transportation for Americans. “They have in some cases — at the risk of the lives of their own diplomats — have been arranging for Americans and students, journalists,

The majority of Americans no longer believe President Joe Biden is competent in his role as the Commander-in-Chief, according to a CBS News poll. Fifty-one percent of the respondents said Biden is not competent in his position as president. This is compared to only 49 percent who said he is. Additionally, the poll found that 52 percent of the respondents did not feel the president has been focused. The poll was taken during and after the fall of the now-Taliban-controlled Kabul, Afghanistan, when Biden botched the U.S. troops’ withdrawal from the country. With that, 53 percent of the respondents said they disagree with the way Biden withdrew the troops.

President Joe Biden hailed the FDA's approval of the Pfizer vaccine as the 'moment you’ve all been waiting'–as he urged Americans who have been sitting on the fence to get their vaccine shots 'today' but dodged comment on Afghanistan. It was a welcome moment of good news for an administration battered by weeks of negative headlines, from spiking cases of COVID-19 to the collapse of the Afghan government and plunging poll numbers. And Biden, speaking at the White House, portrayed it as a huge victory even though it will be of limited practical value months after the vaccination received emergency approval.

The U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6 during the insurrection was cleared Monday after an internal review concluded the action may have spared the lives of lawmakers and staffers who had barricaded themselves inside the building. "The officer’s actions were consistent with the officer’s training and (U.S. Capitol Police) policies," the agency's inquiry found. The agency declined to identify the officer. Federal prosecutors decided in April not to pursue criminal charges in the case. Some who supported the Capitol siege by rioters angry about the outcome of the presidential election cast Babbitt as a martyr to the conservative cause.

The sources also told the publication an Executive Mansion worker recently took Captain home but didn’t want to take care of the canine.
