Joe Biden just delivered the worst televised debate performance in history.
It started in his opening remarks when he hurriedly regurgitated a canned speech like a nervous 11th grader in speech class, it continued into the early stages when he repeatedly suffered brain freezes in describing, for example, how he “beat Medicare,” and finally ended mercifully with a forgettable conclusion.
Even – especially – Democrats were stunned by his awkward, rambling incoherency and open-mouthed, vacant stares into space.
If this were a fight, a TKO would have been called in the first round. If this were softball, the Ten-Run Rule would have been invoked in the first inning.
The senility clips of the last few months which the White House defensively labelled “cheap fakes” as late as last week have now grown into a full 90-minute TV reality show. If you’re a Democrat, it’s like a bloody car wreck — it’s impossible to ignore and impossible to watch. It was moderated by Biden’s hand-picked partisans at Democrat-friendly CNN, but the night was owned by an emcee named Donald Trump.
The editorial board of The New York Times – The New York friggin’ Times! – called on Biden to withdraw from the race. This is after he corralled 90-some percent of the Democratic delegates and is assured of a first vote win at the convention. Another Democrat pundit called him “toast.” Another said his performance was “painful.” Democrat organ Politico summed it up with “Democrats freak out.”
But Biden won’t withdraw. The very next day he was being escorted around by “doctor” Jill to badly read poor speeches off cheap teleprompters. We have no reports yet whether he read such parenthetical words as “pause for applause” from the teleprompter. Such gaffes are so common by him now that they’re barely reported anymore.
He won’t drop out because the “doctor” and her patient are addicted to the perks of the office of the Presidency of the United States. The digs are nice, the food is exquisite, the butt-kissing is sublime, and the airplane travel is first class (provided he doesn’t fall down or up the shortened stairs of Airforce One).
It’s the zombie presidency. The un-dead presidency. It’s dead but still twitches a destructive Executive Order or two spoon-fed to them by squirrely adolescent staffers until the Supreme Court throws it out. Even then they boast that they’ll do it again, the Supreme Court be damned. They’re the walking dead.
So, they plan to hang around. Screw the party, screw the country, screw the world. Something about them reminds me of the cheap, chiseling couple running the restaurant in Les Misérables. The illegitimate masters of the White House. But they’re not masters, they’re squatters. You want them out? You’ll have to vote them out. And even then you might have to evict them with the aid of the 82nd Airborne.
The only surprise from the debate was that the Democrats were surprised. Inexplicably, they were surprised that Biden delivered a performance consistent with his public performance over the last three years.
Where have these Dems been?
I predicted beforehand that Biden would do a little better than Republicans expected. He would not drool, not fall down and not sniff Trump’s hair, as many Republicans expected.
My prediction was correct. (I also predicted that Trump would do better than expected. I was right about that too. This guy is teachable, even if he sometimes goes out of his way to deny it.)
Democrats, however, apparently expected much better from Biden. They expected him to perform as if he was reading a teleprompter – despite the hard fact that over the last three years he’s shown little ability to do that.
It was a case of Democrats engaging in wishful thinking, or perhaps just coming to believe their own propaganda. In any case, their surprise at Biden’s poor performance was surprising to me.
The result was a Democrat piling-on. I wonder if the piling-on was designed to cover for their willful blindness over the past three years. Nobody’s saying “I’m with Joe” anymore, and instead they’re busy deleting the tweets where they said that just a few months ago.
It bodes badly for Biden and for a Democrat White House. The next set of polls will show Biden down by 6-8 points – at a stage in the election where he was ahead by 10 points in the close one of 2020.
It’s apt to get worse from there. Biden is entering laughing stock territory – Dan Quayle and Kamala Harris territory.
It’s hard to recover from being a laughing stock. People don’t vote for a laughing stock.
Only Biden himself – with a teleprompter-enabled speech from the Oval Office graciously announcing his withdrawal – can rescue the Democrats from themselves and probably only “doctor” Jill can rescue Biden from himself. But that would take a lot more courage, acumen and selflessness than either has ever shown.

Their lack of courage is totally overwhelmed by their selfishness. If this were in my state of Maine Doktor Jill would have been prosecuted for elder abuse. She is one of the most vile women I have ever known of in my life. Glad I was not married to her, I would have been doing life without parole by now. Doktor Jill has harder edges than Mata Hari had.
Does Biden have a food taster on the White House staff? If not, Jill better consider using one. My hope is Biden stays in, gets utterly crushed both electorally and popularly, and Trump acts like Milei in Argentina and opens a giant can of whoop ass on the deep state. Let’s Go Brandon!
They have been gaslighting the American public for almost 4 years and the media gladly played along with it. Heck up until 2 weeks ago they were saying the clips were fake Republican hits. If it was a Republican president there would have been a chorus to have him resign, not just end running for a second term. If they had any self respect and love of country, they’d ask him to resign now and let Harris take over. He’s obviously not able to make decisions and hasn’t been for a long time. I for one hope he stays in and Dr Jill keeps with the elder abuse.
Fact check: Biden stated that no troops died under his watch.“The truth is I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any this decade and any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did,” Biden said.Kabul, Afghanistan on August 26, 2021″…There’s no one out there who will ride to the rescue. The cops of Uvalde are a dire warning to the rest of us citizens. At the end of the day, a certain type of regime flunky will stop the cop who wants to go in and kill the criminal before they kill more innocents…”You don’t believe it? Do you remember the summer of 2021?
“From a guard tower overlooking Kabul’s airport, two U.S. Marines spotted a man matching the description of a suspected suicide bomber. They radioed their commanders: “Do we have permission to engage?”Request denied, Marine, Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, recalled being told. Too many civilians nearby. The suspected suicide bomber vanished from view among a crush of people clamoring outside the airport’s Abbey Gate, he said.It was Aug. 26, 2021. Hours later, an explosion ripped through the crowd, killing 13 U.S. troops and an estimated 170 Afghans.”The names of the dead Marines are:Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover, 31, with 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, out of Camp Pendleton, California;Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25, with 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, Naval Support Activity Bahrain;Sgt. Nicole Gee, 23, with Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit;Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, with 2/1;Cpl. Daegan W. Page, 23, with 2/1;Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez, 22, with 2/1;Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza, 20, with 2/1;Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, 20, with 2/1;Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, 20, with 2/1;Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola, 20, with 2/1;Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui, 20, with 2/1.Also killed were:Navy corpsman Maxton W. Soviak, 22, assigned to 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton, California, and Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss, 23, assigned to 9th PSYOP Battalion, 8th PSYOP Group, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.In addition, 15 U.S. soldiers were wounded in Kabul, Afghanistan on August 26, 2021, during the Biden administration’s humanitarian catastrophe that he created in his Afghanistan abandonment. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-Khorasan Province, aka ISIS-K.”https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2021/09/01/15-marines-wounded-in-afghanistan-are-being-treated-at-walter-reed-national-military-medical-center/
As the fallen US soldiers from Kabul were brought out of the transport plane, the US President responsible for the Kabul horror checked his watch; he checked his watch several times. The mainstream propaganda ministry denied that this happened. The mainstream propaganda ministry (who covered for Biden for his cruelty and apparent indifference) should be ceaselessly ridiculed and aggressively shunned.
“People don’t vote for a laughing stock.”
Hatefilled democrats will, and without apology.
Trump needs to send letters to-
Nancy Pelosi/ Chuck Schumer/ Hakeem Jeffries/ Jaime Raskin/ James Clyburn/ Merrick Garland/ Eric Swalwell/ Adam Schiff/ Jaime Harrison (DNC chair)/ Gretchen Whitmer (DNC vice chair) Tammy Duckworth (DNC vice chair)/ Bernie Sanders/ Elizabeth Warren/ Cory Booker/ Dick Durbin/ Amy Klobuchar/ Richard Blumenthal/ Patty Murray/ Debbie Stabenow/ Mark Warner/ Sheldon Whitehouse/ Ron Wyden/ Barbara Lee/ Ro Khanna
The letter should be a demand for the above individuals to apologize to all Americans because of their role in deceiving citizens regarding Biden’s mental decline for the last 3+ years. These individual letters should be signed and posted on Twitter; only when these signed letters are revealed should Trump even consider debating another Democratic candidate.
Also, if Biden is replaced, Trump’s response should be that since these same people deceived us for 3+years, we should not believe them when they now ask us to trust them and their newly appointed presidential candidate.
I’m waiting the supermarket tabloid stories to shpw up. It’s going to be evil Jill tormenting helpless Joe. What a career though. Babysitter to babysitter. Life goes around. Right?
I think this is a Watergate moment for the Democrat party and the mainstream media.
The Dimms have a real problem; Old Thumper Bumper (OTB) has $200 myn sitting in his campaign acct that he CANNOT share/ give to another candidate. With 125 days to go, whoever might replace OTB on the ballot would be starting at ground zero, cash-wise, with many huuuge bills to be paid. They gotta stick with OTB!
