Americans disagree on many things these days, but no matter the outcome of the election, one outcome is certain. That means we won't mourn the end of Joe Biden's presidency.
Democrats will probably be more than happy to see him go than Republicans.
Perhaps a bipartisan choir in Washington will begin singing the words, “Get out, Joe, and don't come back.”
Biden's first term was so disastrous at home and abroad that his party made history by forcing him to resign just months after winning the nomination. This measure sparked universal relief among believers, including major donors.
Party leaders tried to smile and quell the brutal rebellion with chants of “Thank you, Joe” at the party's convention in August, but what was more difficult was hiding the sitting president from the public.
He had little choice not to let his tweets and stumbles remind voters that his successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, was part of a conspiracy to hide Biden's cognitive decline from voters.
DC corruption exposed
But like a bad penny, he continued to emerge and his latest appearance was a national embarrassment. When last seen, the man who took office promising to unify America was calling Donald Trump's millions of supporters “trash.”
He then lied about it and his aides rewrote White House records to hide the truth.
Remember, too, that just days before Trump was injured in an assassination attempt over the summer, Biden said, “It's time to keep an eye on Trump.”
Cynic recklessness characterized his unjust tenure.
He forced the attorney general to break 200 years of precedent for indicting former presidents, while the Justice Department slowly investigated clear evidence of crimes against Biden's son and plans to spread family influence. The president himself was shielded from scrutiny.
This man, who has worshiped the altar of political norms and traditions throughout his career, ended up destroying them in order to restrain his rivals and maintain power.
While calling President Trump a threat to democracy.
In a big way, Joe Biden represents everything that's wrong with Washington.
Over 50 years there, he became a caricature of a pat-on-the-back shapeshifter, a big proponent of whatever position was fashionable at the moment.
He somehow became rich and was a Walter Mitty-level allegorist, but in 1988 he was discovered to have plagiarized a speech given by a British politician about his life, and his first presidential bid ended. ended in failure.
It was later revealed that Biden also lied about his law school ranking and falsely claimed he had three college degrees.
Still, Biden, whose life was marked by tragedy, including the death of his first wife and daughter in a car accident and the death of his eldest son Beau from cancer, often cast sympathetic figures.
His grief never surfaced and he was known for providing comfort to those suffering loss.
But his Senate career was fueled by Southern Dixiecrats who fought against desegregation, and he famously praised Sen. Robert Byrd, a former member of the KKK. It is.
At the time, Biden passionately defended the Senate filibuster rule as a key defense against single-party legislation.
As president, he called it a “relic of the Jim Crow era” and wanted it removed.
“High-tech lynching”
As a senator, he referred to urban schools as “jungles.”
As president, he said America was mostly racist.
When Georgia proposed an ID requirement for voters similar to his home state of Delaware, Mr. Biden called it “Jim Crow 2.0.”
He rose to prominence as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the 1991 confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
Biden, who voted against Thomas, succeeded in turning the process into an ugly racial circus and tarnished the reputations of Thomas and the key witness against him, Anita Hill.
Thomas, who established himself as a brilliant magistrate judge, infamously described the hearing as a “high-tech lynching of an upstanding black man.”
Mr. Biden also chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has considered himself an insightful person on world affairs.
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates strongly opposed it.
“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past 40 years,” Gates wrote in his autobiography.
That was 10 years ago, and Biden's two terms as vice president and four years in the Oval Office prove he has been consistently wrong for 50 years.
The public still does not know the extent of his role in family planning because the Democratic Party and its media shield protected him, but the SS could not protect him from the consequences of his failed policies.
His spending has caused the worst inflation in decades, and he opened the southern border with an executive order to show disdain for President Trump, who largely succeeded in strengthening access.
The lack of scrutiny of millions of immigrants from around the world under Biden and Harris will be a problem for at least a generation.
Biden's foreign policy was similarly reckless.
His sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan will be remembered as a defining event that signaled America's weakness, and our enemies were pouncing.
Iran, Russia and China are on the march, and our allies, especially Israel and Ukraine, are suffering deadly consequences.
Biden's foolish belief in appeasement, especially towards Iran, has brought the world closer to global conflict.
Predictably, his attempt to support anti-Semitic Democrats while maintaining trust with Israel pleased no one and created great uncertainty about America's role.
Huge relief for the US
His choice of Harris as his running mate four years ago was consistent with the political approach of his time.
Desperate to keep Obama in power, he has publicly chosen a black woman and portrayed himself as a transitional figure.
Deep state connections were also critical to victory in 2020.
False claims by 51 former intelligence officials that Hunter's son's laptop contained Russian disinformation proves that Hunter's son's laptop belonged to him and that the explosives contained in it were active. Even though the FBI had already confirmed that it was, it is likely that they were able to avoid defeat.
It is therefore reasonable to assume that one of Biden's final acts as president will almost certainly be to grant Hunter a pardon for federal gun and tax crimes.
He denied ever intending to do so, but that was when he was a candidate.
Now that he's a lame duck and the voters have spoken, he can finally be honest and do what his father would have done.
In that sense, his return to private life will be a huge relief for him and for all of America.
