Dumb Question

Joe Biden was recently asked about the growing allegations of a $5M bribe by a Ukrainian businessmen while he was VP under Barack Obama. Typical of his extemporaneous "answers" to any question he is asked, Biden laughed manically and then asked why such a "dumb question" was asked.  Imagine the media response if any GOP president responded in that manner.

Yet the propaganda media continues to protect our cognitively disabled and (very likely, corrupt) president—over and over again. The Democrats' trained hamsters in the media are notably incurious about this scandal, so much so that they simply don't investigate or report on it. David Marcus comments:

If they weren’t so deeply troubling, the numbers revealed by Media Research Center on the amount of time major network news spent on the alleged Biden bribery scandal would be laughable. Between June 8th and June 12th, the days following the bombshell breaking of the Biden story as well as the announcement of Donald Trump’s second indictment, ABC, CBS, and NBC spent 291 minutes on Trump, and not a single second on the Biden corruption saga. [emphasis mine]

The Democrat fantasy is that Biden is pure as the wind-driven snow, a little loopy maybe, but still pure. The reality is that Biden has worked with others in his family to enrich himself and all of them by peddling influence in unethical (at best) or criminal (at worst) ways. Entire books (e.g., here) with detailed sourcing have been written on the subject.

So despite Herculean efforts by the propaganda media (NYT, WaPo, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABS, etc.), reality will collide with progressive fantasy and the result will be ugly for Biden and the Dems ... unless ... the Dems do the right thing and move to ensure that a potentially corrupt man with dementia does not run in 2024.

Here are a few more "dumb questions:"  Since multiple polls indicate that the Democrats themselves have grave reservations about Biden, and a significant percentage of Dems (1) don't believe he is up to the job of President and (2) prefer he wouldn't run, why is no one other than RFK, Jr. challenging him in a primary. Are the Dems really so regimented that they want a cognitively disabled man in the Oval Office? Do they think that's good for the country? Are there no younger Dems waiting in the wings?

The GOP have at least four of five legitimate opponents to an ex-presdient. They're not afraid to question his style and his leadership, and state unequivocally that it's time to move on. Are the Democrats really so enamoured of Biden that they remain silent?

Some would argue that the Dems exhibit party disipline, while the GOP does not. They march in lock step, never questioning the narrative (in this case, that Biden's presidency is a resounding success). Only a maverick like RFK, Jr. steps up, and he is ridiculed by many in the party. Or maybe they're pragmatists, recogizing that anyone who can fog a mirror will likely beat Donald Trump and that the GOP will self-immolate.

But still, Joe Biden? The Dems better hope that the GOP does them a favor, and the realty of Biden's bribery scandal prevails. Biden can then be forced not to run in 2024 and that will be good for the Dems and far more important, good for the country.
