Joe Biden's Out. Now What?
Why did the Dems take so long? Why now? Who takes his place?
Over a year ago, I wrote an article entitled Joe Biden Has Dementia and It Is Wickedly Evil To Use Him as a Puppet.
It was one of my most commented articles in 2023 and by far the one in which I had to delete the most vitriolic comments.
So many people hurled mud, in full denial of obvious reality.
I still stand by every single word in that article.
Why?
Because my grandfather died of dementia, and Biden’s decline was uncanny.
It’s sad that Dems only took off the blinders when they realized Biden’s dementia would cost them the election.
No more, no less.
Joe Biden was a political pawn, a tool to grab power.
But that’s the way of the world — use human beings transactionally until they’re “worthless,” then discard them on the scrap heap of “useless” humans.
Lenders do the same thing to borrowers.
Land-lorders do the same thing to renters.
Shareholders do the same thing to workers.
Well, here we are.
Biden’s out.
Why now? Who takes his place?
Five brief thoughts to consider as we move forward:
1. This is excellent news — first and foremost for poor Joe Biden and his addled body.
As my long-term readers know, I’m no fan of the vile Republican party.
Both parties are run by corporatist thugs and should be destroyed.
But I’m very pleased to hear even Biden’s sociopathic handlers have seen the light and realized it’s time to put the old boy out to pasture.
Love him or hate him, agree or disagree with his many good and many bad decisions, Biden worked hard to serve his country as best he knew how, within the strict confines of what his donors would allow.
I’m just glad the elder abuse has now stopped.
2. Biden didn’t write his drop-out letter
It is not accurate to say that Biden dropped out of the race.
Biden’s handlers dropped him out of the race.
Biden, when he had a healthy brain, was an extremely smart man. (He could be funny, too.)
His estimated IQ was 115. (Average is 100 and falling fast.)
Now go read “his” resignation letter on his Twitter page. (376 million views!)
It’s full of typos, particularly random Capitalization on Words that shouldn’t be Capitalized. Good job, Millennial copywriter.
My point:
Like it or not, Joe hasn’t been in control of “his” words for a very long time.
He’s been puppeteered for at least the past year, if not longer.
There are already probably daily moments where he doesn’t even know he was the President or that he has been dropped out.
This is obviously sad and immoral, and at some point, Biden’s handlers should confess and repent so the nation never does something this heinous again.
3. Expect Biden to sunset fast.
Now that he’s “useless,” Biden won’t be drugged to the max like JFK.
Expect Biden to descend further into dementia quickly.
Expect him to disappear from public life the second the election is over.
Expect him to be in a care home or cared for at home within a year or two.
Expect him to be non-communicative within 2–3.
Expect his press team to lie about all of this until he “suddenly,” “rapidly,” and “unexpectedly” declines and dies.
4. Who should the Democrats run?
A Bernie Sanders-Elizabeth Warren ticket would likely be the best possible combo the Dems could put forward right now… if the owners of the Democrat party cared about widest-spread well-being… which, of course, they do not.
Unknown governors historically perform welll. The Dems have about six solid governors who seem like decent, capable, respectable human beings. Any pairing of two of them should beat showman Trump and his zero-principles sycophant J.D. Vance.
So naturally… the elites who own the Democrat party won’t pick two decent, capable, respectable human beings.
The safest (coward’s) choice is Kamala Harris paired with the straightest whitest American male on the planet.
If the Dems held a genuinely open and democratic primary, Kamala wouldn’t stand a chance.
But this won’t be a genuinely open and democratic primary, any more than America has ever had a genuinely open and democratic election.
America has selections, not elections — the rich ruling elites decide everything.
You live and toil and suffer and die at and for their pleasure.
NO ONE in America wants compounding public and private debt, rising prices, crushing rents, cratering purchasing power, wage stagnation, a mental health epidemic, a drug crisis, and skyrocketing homelessness, but that’s what Americans are guaranteed get under either party because neo-feudalistic corporate serfdom is the most profitable business model ever invented.
5. It really doesn’t matter who the Democrats run
“Because Trump will win no matter what?”
No.
I do think that Trump will win, but that’s not why who the Dems run doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter because no politician will ever save America.
Psalm 146:3 nails it perfectly:
“Do not put your trust in princes, there is no help for you there.”
All these Messianic propagandizing sloganeers have the American people fooled.
There was no real “hope” in Obama.
“Greatness” was not Trump’s currency to dole out.
George H. W. Bush had no capacity to make America “kinder and gentler.”
Bush Jr. didn’t make America “safer.”
No matter which power-hungry sociopaths the elites choose as their corporate candidates for this upcoming (s)election, said politicians will all be polishing the handrails on the Titanic.
America is going the way of all nations — down.
As with Rome, America’s fall will be long, slow, and painful — and never fully total — but relational gravity always wins.
When nations choose profits over people, the die is cast.
When money matters more than life, the Rubicon is crossed.
The parasite anti-economy (a growing army of unaccountable politicians, banksters, land-lorders, insurers, shareholders, and other rent-seekers) will devour the real working, wealth-creating, people’s economy.
America will revert to the mean — serfdom for the masses, hyper-riches for the top few.
And then something new will be born in its place.
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can stop this cycle because they are collaborators with it.
The good news is that the kingdom of heaven is invading the nations.
Despite the best efforts of the forces of darkness to enslave you and your loved ones, real love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control are spreading in human hearts around the world; slowly but unstoppably; growing like yeast in bread, mustard shrubs in a garden, or light in the darkness.
In the end, that kingdom will dominate all the empires of man, including whichever corporate regime takes or re-takes the Presidency this November.
So, sleep well, my friends.
All will be well.
Just not on November 5th.
When will we have the courage to see the obvious, that corporations own us like the Romans once owned the Western world? If more people could see it, democracy, nay, the planet, might have a chance.
