My theory

Even through the fog of dementia, I think that Joe Biden is able to perceive that he will be remembered as the worst president in history. I believe he wants to compound (continue to compound, actually) his legacy of incompetence and inadequacy with obnoxiousness. If you're going to be known as the worst president, after all, you should make sure that you will hold the record for a long, long time and that your administration shall remain a stench in the nostrils of the citizenry for generations to come. If that's the only genuine achievement he can claim, then he will cling to it like a briefcase full of Chinese payola, because a terrible legacy is still a legacy.

"How low can an unpresident go?"

  1. It's hard to resist the idea that at this point Biden is simply intent on causing as much damage as possible on his way out.

    But we have to realize that his ability to actually manage events is nil, and has been for a long while... probably for the majority if not the entirety of his administration. So it's possible that his handlers intend to cause as much damage as possible.

    Six of one, half down of the other.

    1. I'm leaning towards his handlers. Remember how Clinton's staff pried the "W" out of every keyboard in the White House, after Al Gore lost the election? They weren't coming back, what did they care?

      This is the same thing, only more so.

  2. Jimmy Carter and Gough Whitlam both lived to a ripe old age for the same reason. They weren't going until they saw someone else take the title of Worst President/Prime Minister.
    The difference is that Carter only had Biden, while Whitlam - hell, it seems like every PM of the last fifteen years has been fighting for the prize.

    1. I saw Gough and PM Holt sharing a joke in '67, they were obviously friends. (That was a few months before Holt drowned). They sat opposite each other in the House, swapping notes and laughing. I was stunned - the media told us they were bitter enemies.

    2. Kind of the same thing. When I was a little fellow, my father took me to a diner in Raleigh, and there, sitting at the counter, laughing and eating and drinking beer together, were two professional wrestlers who were always billed as arch enemies on tv.

  3. These decisions are going to stick to Dirty Old Joe forever certainly, but can we be sure he’s the one actually making them? After all, he’s surrounded by leftover Obamabots and his lovely bride is no slouch when it comes to leading him around. Not that he wouldn’t hesitate to screw it all up on his own even if he were at the top of his game.

  4. I'm kind of surprised that Joe (or his ventriloquist) hasn't awarded a Medal of Freedom to one of those guys on death row whose sentences he commuted.

  5. Biden's brain trust hates America.
    They are Obama's retreads after all.

  6. Joe Biden has always been a smarmy, mean, lying scumsucker...and those who are now his 'handlers' are no different. If he was 'sharp as a tack' he'd do the very same thing.

  7. that's the thing about the deep state, it's not a conspiracy from the top, it's like minded lone wolves who ask themselves what would Biden/Obama do, then set it in motion, no need to ask and everyone just knows ... so there's plausible deniability.

  8. Biden's Presidency has shown the weakness of the 25th Amendment. In spite of the evidence of their own eyes Biden's Cabinet did not have the moral courage to invoke the 25th Amendment's procedures to remove him from power.
