Friends, in a hilarious twist that only Washington, D.C. could produce, it turns out that one of the offices of Joe Biden (you know the guy: he's President Xi's longtime travel buddy) is a repository for classified material -- of the sort that the DOJ is now preparing to indict Donald Trump for possessing, and of the sort that triggered an FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago leading up to the 2022 midterm elections. Lo and behold, this information was known before the midterms, but was only just disclosed. All this stinks to high heaven, needless to say, but the media is spinning it furiously. Holding on to sensitive government documents is a capital offense when Trump does it, but it's no big deal when Sleepy Joe does it. I mean, the distinction is obvious! Will these revelations give the DOJ any pause in pursuing criminal charges against Trump for the mishandling of secret documents? Possibly. My view, however, would be that hypocrisy has never held the lefties back in the past, and it probably won't in this case either. And, in any event, the DOJ is considering a very wide range of potential charges against Trump. They can, if need be, simply work their way down the list until they find something of which Joe Biden is not also guilty...
In other news, my visit to the Sunshine State continues to be a delight, and today I took in the World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine. I hope to resume a more intensive regimen of blogging very soon!
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Politics ,as the American left has known and practiced for decades, is hardball and there are no omnipotent umps overseeing it. So of course the left will follow form and , with the aid of their MSM subordinates, make of this whatever is of advantage to them and to hob with principle in practice ( they will of course pontificate lofty public pronunciamentos all the while). I think it possible that this serendipitous discovery may well have been purposed by the left with the intention of goading what they see as an unstable House into hyperbolic and possibly discrediting investigatory reaction. Brer Rabbit's counsel is much valued in the salons of the woke and elite and until we come off our lofty perches and embrace his wisdom we will be flimflammed once again. I do not mean to suggest that the GOP House refrain from hardhitting, irrepressible dunning of the left but to know the left's possible intent in this, eh, apparently scheduled "revelation" may help our side to pursue well taken tactics. Boxers employ force, yes, but theirs is essentially a thinking sport.We need to be hombres thus, not gentlemen!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: Then again, maybe ol' Joe done spilled the mash and his far left handlers gone hafta clean it up. They know they will catch hell from the GOP House so maybe they'll make a front of "owning up" to it just like Slick Willy done when he got caught at it with"that woman"! "Well, I've taken responsibility. . ." ( whatever the hell that meant).
ReplyDeleteJack, I would suspect the Dems aren't too worried about the Republican House and its investigations. They know that anything the House does and says can and will be dismissed as partisan and meaningless, at best, and corrupt and treasonous, at worst, by a compliant media. Indeed, I think it's the media itself that poses a much bigger threat. Fundamentally, none of the top-flight journalists, and not even top Democrats, like or respect Joe Biden. He's been useful -- nothing more. Ergo, if he starts to look like a weak sister, they could still cut him loose. This scandal gives the Joe haters in the party some precious ammo.
ReplyDeleteDrWaddy fromJack: A Fox commentator last night speculated that Pino Biden will pardon his son and then resign; plausible I think. But it would be hard for the dems to deny Kamalafornia in 2024 and she would be a weak national candidate. Maybe first she resigns, Biden appoints Stacy Abrams VP , pardons his son and then resigns You are certainly right that Biden was a means to an end the frantic left had to have lest it reach critical mass.
ReplyDeleteJack, personally I see little prospect that Biden will resign. What's in it for Biden??? On the other hand, a President Kam-Kam isn't the end of the world for the Dems, especially if they write her off as a potential candidate in '24. Then she'll just be a placeholder, and as you know the Dems like placeholders!
