Biden is Officially a Lame Duck President

The Democrats did this to themselves. They pushed an ancient dude, with questionable mental acuity, to run for the highest office in the land. They are reaping what they sowed – a lame duck.

By definition, a lame duck is a duck that can’t fly or walk. That’s bad news if you’re a duck. But, if you’re the leader of the greatest nation on the planet, being a lame-duck president means you have lost all of your political capital because you are on the way out. Joe Biden announced Sunday that he is a lame-duck president.

Normally, the president becomes a lame duck after the November election if he either loses or it’s his last term. Today, Joe Biden declared lame-duck status because he got the flu or something.

Presidents get the lame-duck label because Congress is no longer vested in advancing their priorities since they now have to adjust priorities to a newcomer. The president loses his political influence the second that it is obvious he will not be in office much longer.

That means that members of Congress, lobbyists, and foreign dignitaries have no reason to court our aged and mentally handicapped leader. He has no influence – no political capital. He is little more than a mouthpiece and he’s terrible at that.

Many said that the Biden-Harris 2020 ticket was to make Joe puppet #1 for 4 years and then hand the crown to Kamala – puppet #2. I always thought that was ill-conceived because she’s not very bright, not really electable, and has zero knowledge of how the global landscape operates. The Democrats have shown me that while all that may be true, they just need someone who polls slightly better than an old white guy who can’t publicly speak, makes up stories, and gets lost in small venues. Other than not being white, Kamala isn’t much different. But, she is different – not Biden – not the old white guy.

The problem the Democrats had was how to replace the candidate that DNC voters had voted for in he primary. They figured it out. Let the media know that it’s ok to attack Biden’s health – and they did exactly that.

In Harris, they have a barely better polling candidate against Trump. They will spend the next few weeks pumping her up in hopes of making the race look close enough so that it is conceivable that she could beat him.

They’ll manufacture the votes… somehow. “New boss, same as the old boss.” Or, in more historical terms: The King is dead, long live the King.

Biden harris thing one and thing two idiots

One puppet to the next, the Democrats have made their play. What will the rest of us do about it?
