Time magazine has a picture of Joe Biden on the cover, wearing mirrored sunglass with Putin in the reflection. It was obviously intended to portray Joe Biden as a hard guy, ready to take on the puny Putin. It is like when Tom Cruz famously wore similar sunglasses in Top Gun. Time Magazine is already getting crucified by almost everyone because this is really a sad joke. It is also a huge mistake, for Joe Biden. One would think Democrats would have learned their lesson after the Dukakis tank picture. Dukakis had a picture taken of him while sitting in a tank. Dukakis wanted to show that secretly, he was the tough guy, so someone suggested the famous tank photo op. He was wearing a huge helmet and had this dopy smile. At the time Dukakis has proposed cutting the “Star War” SDI program. You know, the program that protects us again ballistic missiles. The program that could never work. The program that produced the technology used in the Iron Dome project in Israel. You know, the worthless system that shot down all those missiles aimed at Israel. That worthless program.
The tank photo tanked Dukakis’s campaign. No one bought it. No one took Dukakis seriously as anything resembling a tough guy. Well guess what folks, no one takes Biden seriously as a tough guy either. Perhaps there are some people who believe this, but most of them work for CNN. Everyone else sees this very frail looking old guy who has trouble reading a TelePrompter. You know, the guy who fell while stupidly trying to run up the stairs to Air Force One. The guy who makes silly mistakes, like saying he forget he was President. The guy who had to be told to pay attention while his wife was speaking to the troops earlier this week. He responded by saluting. That guy. Frankly, the mirrored sunglass were probably necessary to hide the rest of his face, which is far from intimidating.
This would be hysterical, but Putin is all too real, and Biden is planning on meeting him next week. Putin will probably have trouble suppressing a smirk. He has already got Biden to stupidly give Putin the green light on his desired pipeline. This of course is after Biden cancelled our own pipeline. You can’t make this stuff up. Russian actors have been launching cyber-attacks left and right on our critical infrastructure. Biden has never even hinted at punishing Russia. In addition, Hunter Biden has almost certainly provided Putin with a steady stream of black mail material. There is zero chance Biden will intimidate Putin on any subject. It is more likely that Biden will agree to something else, incredibly dumb, convinced he is saving the world from Climate Change.
If you doubt that, this is the same man who stood in front of our troops and told them the greatest threat to the U.S. is climate change.
When Trump heard Biden, he said the following:
“Biden just said that he was told by the Joint Chiefs of Staff that Climate Change is our greatest threat. If that is the case, and they actually said this, he ought to immediately fire the Joint Chiefs of Staff for being incompetent.”
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff listened to Trump and said the following:
“Climate change does impact, but the president is looking at a much broader angle than I am,” Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a congressional panel Thursday morning. “I’m looking at it from a strictly military standpoint. And from a strictly military standpoint, I’m putting China, Russia up there.”
The Joint Chiefs of Staff are famously non-political, so for them to issue this statement is an unprecedented rebuke of a sitting U.S. President. They only did this because what Biden said was so idiotic that they feared our enemies would believe him.
It is obvious to everyone that Biden is literally embarrassing the country on this foreign trip. Even those pretending to think Biden is doing great know the truth. Sadly, we have sent this incompetent senile joke to negotiate with Chiefs of State from other countries. That is truly a joke, but it is not funny. I seriously believe the picture of Biden wearing those sunglasses will go down as even dumber than the Dukakis tank photo, which tanked his campaign. I believe it may just go down as the lasting symbol of the Biden Administration. It is not a good look. Just ask Michael Dukakis. Except Michael probably still has a framed copy of that tank photo, which he gazes at lovingly wondering why it all went so wrong.
If you want to make money, produce a tee shirt, with the picture from the cover of Time, along with the following slogan: “Seriously?”
