Time for Biden to Step Off the Stage,
for Good

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 7/4/2025 10:18:47 AM

Joe Biden has always been a fabulist. Since he first stepped onto the national stage, he has woven myths about his life. Joe needed the gravitas of good grades and a solid academic background to move up the ladder of national politics, so he invented a student who never existed. Joe threatened to fight a man who asked about his academic chops and claimed he went to law school on “a full academic scholarship.” Except, he didn’t. He claimed he had three degrees from college. Except, he doesn't. He claimed he was in the “top half” of his law school class. Nope. He was in the “steerage” section

Comments:

This is a good column with advice to Biden's care givers. That's no joke.

LBJ went back to his ranch after he left the White House in 1969 and smoked 2 packs/day. LBJ was pretty much forgotten about. Joe should follow his lead.

The asking price for a Biden speech from his "talent agency" is $300K. What total idiot would pay a cent to hear FJB's garbled, demented, hateful nonsense? The talentless Bidens are running dry. Their impecunious backsides are in a wringer. What, what will they do? Suffer, if they get what's fairly coming to them.

The most hateful lie to me was that the truck driver involved in his wife's death was drunk. The driver's children forced him to finally take it back shortly before his presidency, but their father had already died, having lived out his life with his reputation ruined by Biden's lying for political sympathy and gain.

In Bidet's current mental state, I'm sure his made up "memories" are as real to him as things that actually happened. It's pretty pathetic that this grifter family is so desperate for income that they are willing to roll out a senile old man to perform for a crowd like a trained mule. Show us your tricks, Joe.

But he's so funny! One of my favorites of his routines is when he vigorously blows his nose on his handkerchief and then vigorously rubs his eyes with the handkerchief. So funny!! And that Startled Opossum look! So funny!!! That time he had a booger on his face and his aides passed him a note and he got out his handkerchief, wiped it off and then carefully scrutinized it, and then held the note up to the camera so all could read it! So funny!!!!! Oh lots of people are asking him for advice, never you worry about that!

My worry is that foreigners really are calling him and he does not have the capacity to avoid giving away information that may still linger in his rotting brain. He had access to highest level classified info and he could still spill out info. It might be hard to pick the useful bits out of garbled word salad, but he is still dangerous. And his wife is a danger also because she doesn't have the sense to head off this type of snooping, to cut off access. She can only see $$.

Ever since the Obama presidency, there has been an anti-American cabal of people in control of our government. They don't like America as it is and want to change it. All that Hope and Change Obama talked about but it's just big oppressive corrupt incompetent tyrannical government. For them, Biden serves a purpose. He's their jester. He makes a fool of himself and by extension a mockery of American. Anything to hurt America.

On June 5, 1981, I was a graduating high school senior who had to endure a commencement speech by FJB. He told many whoppers in that speech, all centered on the theme that he alone was the indispensable figure in the Congressional investigation into Watergate that caused President Nixon to resign in 1974. After he shuffles off his mortal coil and the Good Lord decides where his soul will go for eternity, I suspect it will become impossible for the University of Delaware to keep those speeches under lock and key, and all of humanity will be treated to volumes of whopper-containing speeches by a man whose entire life has been nothing but a series of falsehoods.

One funny thing about this is Dr. Jill thought she was getting a prize when she married Joe. Then, she thought she was a queen when he became president, even though she was probably sick with worry about people finding out how senile he was. Now, she's stuck with him, he doesn't know where he's at, and most of his fellow Democrats want him off the stage right now. They both are getting exactly what they deserve, stuck with each other and no money to fall back on.

Biden only followed the pattern of the many flawed democrats who came before him, Teddy Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein and others too insignificant to mention. Lie, cheat, bungle and sleep your way through years in Congress and eventually, half of the country will take pity and elect you. Joe could not attract half of the leftists in the country but the help from China and a lot of other cheating governors and democrat capos got him over the finish line but he could not hide the fact that he was a lame nag that should already have gone to the glue factory. I would feel sorry for Doctor Jill except that she earned every bit of her current misery and if the Autopen scandal catches up with her, will suffer even more humiliation.

What could have been. A year ago this month, Democrats were scrambling for their footing. A few months before that, Joe Biden had been awakened from his afternoon nap, handed a script and told to read some words. It took fifteen takes to complete the video. When it was done, Team Autopen had produced a video challenging Donald Trump to a debate. Bad move. Trump quickly accepted.

Democrats allocated $20 million to study how to reach out to young men in America, only to arrive at conclusions many are calling painfully predictable. Initial results of the pricey multi-year endeavor to view men like some anthropological study have, thus far, yielded the obvious—that the Democratic party is viewed as weak and inauthentic with their outreach, expressing disdain for males by constantly telling them they need to be ashamed of who they are. I'm sure more than a few readers would have been willing to give that information to the DNC for a fraction of the cost.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday handed down its ruling in the parental rights case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS decided that parents do have the right to opt their elementary school-aged (pre-K through 8th grade) children out of classroom instruction that may include materials on gender and sexuality. The three dissenters were Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito states that the parents involved were likely to succeed in their claim that the school system, by not allowing the opt-out on LGBTQ-themed classroom activities, was an unconstitutional burden on their religious liberties.

One year from now, you will not be able to turn around without receiving notice of America’s semiquincentennial jubilee. The jollity of the occasion will not change the fact that it will be seven years premature. The historical significance assigned to July 4, 1776, the date the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress, is befuddling. Without victory in the Revolutionary War, which began over a year earlier, any declarations regarding American independence made during the summer of 1776 would have the same significance today as the “declarations of independence” made by the 11 Confederate States in 1860-61.

Donald Trump has never been one to shy away from a fight, but this time, he’s done more than just rattle the Democrats—he’s practically handed Republicans the keys to a midterm landslide in 2026.
