TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES
We have never seen anything like this, at least not during my lifetime. One suspects that some people knew that President Woodrow Wilson was incapable of being President after he had a stroke, but World War I was over, and no one viewed this as a crisis. We do not have the luxury of that today. The world is much smaller and much more dangerous than it was in October of 1919. We are slow learners. The 25th Amendment was not passed until 1965. Many historians believe that FDR was incapable of being President in 1945, months before he died. He was definitely very ill. One of the people he took with him to the Yalta conference was Alger Hiss, who turned out to be a Soviet Spy.
Now we have a President who is clearly incapable of doing the job, with horrific consequences. But that brings up a whole new problem. Notice that while several people, in both parties, are clearly concerned about Biden’s ability to do the job no one, and I do mean no one, is suggesting Kamala Harris take over. There is bipartisan recognition that she is even more incapable of doing the job. During a time when we are dealing with the crisis in Afghanistan, Kamala Harris is literally traveling to Vietnam, of all places. No one has suggested she rush back to provide Joe Biden with badly needed guidance. No one wants her anywhere near this.
The fall of Kabul was sadly predictable to me. It is impossible to believe that a lot of other people, in a position to do something, did not realize this too. This was beyond obvious. I suspect the Taliban was afraid of Donald Trump. In some ways he was planning on ending the Afghan War the same way Eisenhower ended the Korean War. Eisenhower told China that they could have peace, or they could have war, but if they chose war, it would not be confined to the Korean Peninsula. They believed him, and wisely chose peace. Nixon made a similar offer to the North Vietnamese, and the North Vietnamese believed him too. But Democrats tossed him out of office, without regard to the consequences. We all know the consequences. Donald Trump was tossed out of office too, without regard to the consequences. Those consequences are becoming increasingly obvious.
In this case the crisis in Afghanistan is only one of the problems created by the incompetence of Joe Biden. While this is horrific, it may not even be close to the worst crisis we face, because Kabul is, after all, still on the other side of the globe. But it is the most visible crisis, and it has destroyed any illusion that Joe Biden is secretly competent. He isn’t.
The interview with Stephanopoulos was supposed to be the ultimate softball exchange by one of the most partisan people in the MSM. But even that was so bad that the White House is now trying to hide Joe, again, completely. But that is not going to work this time.
While the fall of Kabul was predictable it is impossible to predict what happens next. Everyone realizes that we need to move on from Biden, now, but move where? Certainly not to President Harris. The result is an unprecedented constitutional crisis. If tomorrow, as promised, Arizona audit results provide indisputable proof of systemic election fraud, we will move into a whole new world. As I mentioned before even some top Democrats must realize that overturning the 2020 election results is no longer the worst-case scenario. Joe Biden is the worst-case scenario, only even that is not true. The worst-case scenario is replacing Joe with Kamala.
In many ways the damage is already irreparable. What if the election was over-turned? Trump would have been cheated out of his full second four-year term. Could he run again, for a full term, in 2024. Talk about the ultimate nightmare for the Never Trumpers. Yet, who else is available? Who would be acceptable to both Democrats and Republicans?
Sometimes, mistakes cause more damage than can be repaired. Sometimes when the destruction is total the only option is to start completely over. Clearly no one anticipated this, so there is zero provision for dealing with this. We know it is bad, but like Biden and Afghanistan, no one knows how to fix it. The Democrats have done this to themselves. They shoved Joe Biden down our collective throats. Everyone is gagging. No one will even consider tolerating this much longer. Democrats own this and the only real question is whether they also cheated to get this done. To make it even worse, there is not a single Democrat available that anyone would trust to fix things. Andrew Cuomo? Gavin Newsom? Anyone? One serious problem is that every Democratic Senator voted to impeach Donald Trump, even though this was ridiculous. How can they possible justify keeping Joe?
One thing is certain, we must start with the truth. The 2020 election was either stolen or it was not. Even if it was not stolen, it was still a hot mess. At best, Democrats with their fawning idiot supporters in the MSM united to defeat Donald Trump and inflict us with a sad joke. Actually, a team of jokers. We certainly cannot tolerate this happening again. The American people will not soon tolerate this again.
The good news is that not only have Democrats failed in seizing full power and dumping their socialize paradise on us with Democrats permanently in power, but they are also getting laughed out of power. There are already some Democrats deserting the socialist cause, expect more to follow. Some will become independents. Others may even become Republicans. All will seek to distance themselves from disaster.
Democrats seized power based on a series of lies, none more obvious than the myth that Joe Biden is remotely capable of being President. They are providing a case study on why you do not promote people solely because of race, gender or anything else other than pure competence. They are providing us all with a lesson on what happens with woke politics. You end up with a lot of people in charge who are totally incapable of providing leadership. Regardless of what happens now, 2022 is going to be a wipeout for Democrats and 2024 is likely to be worse. Ironically those who stupidly felt that they were on the path to permanent power only greased the skids on their way down to oblivion.
Truth or consequences. Truth is becoming more and more obvious. The consequences are already here with more to come.
