Biden team now claims he was a successful President

Biden team now claims he was a successful President

As the American people have become more aware of the extent of President Biden’s age-related disabilities, those responsible for the cover-up have put forward a new defense strategy.  They claim that there were no disasters as a result of his condition.  They claim he had a very successful presidency with many accomplishments.  They say that could not have been the case if Biden was a dysfunctional President.  In other words, Biden was okay – competent and capable when serving as President.

If you unpack their claims, you will find nothing but … empty claims.

They said he was quite capable of handling that proverbial “2:00 a.m. emergency call”, but there was never one to handle.  Really?  No late night emergency over Ukraine … the Middle East … Afghanistan (death of Americans and the deadly U.S. attack on an innocent family)?  Maybe his wife and handlers did not disturb him for late night emergencies.

Of course, that is all theoretical and speculative.  The claim that things ran smoothly because Biden was capable is not a fact.  It is not even a good theory.  Saying that nothing disastrous happened due to his condition and the cover-up is untrue. 

If I were a Democrat, I would see a series of disasters for the party as a result of Biden’s condition and the deception.  First was the fact that he ran for a second term when he was unfit then – and in no shape to serve four years.  This is now a proven fact.  Biden’s wife and a cabal of advisors encouraged him to break his one term commitment.  If it were not for the early cover-up, it is very possible we would be in the second term of a Democrat President.  Or, if Trump had won a second term in 2020, he would be a former President today.  That reality has to seem like a disaster for Democrats.

Their cover-up got Biden the nomination and the presidency, but the Biden condition was so bad that he had to quit the race at the last minute – leaving Democrats with no choice but to back a losing replacement.  The anti-Trump establishment may view the chaos from Biden’s withdrawal as a HUGE disaster since it arguably elected President Trump.

Then there is the issue of the selection of a Vice President.  Would a presidential candidate of sound mind have selected Kamala Harris?   Or was the wokeness of his handlers that caused Biden to make the selection of a “Black woman” as the only qualifier? 

Since Biden is now known to have not been of entirely sound mind throughout his presidency (the level of which can be debated), many of “his” decisions can be fairly questioned – and there were some disasters.  Would a fully competent President have ordered the disastrous and deadly Afghanistan surrender and withdrawal?  Would a fully competent President have so badly handled the border crisis?  Was it really Biden or his “brain trust” who pushed for legislation that resulted in disastrous inflation?  What brain was at work when Biden merely repeated those losing talking points from a teleprompter during the 2024 campaign?

Because of Biden’s disability, we CAN know several things.  First, he, himself, is not always capable of arriving at sound decisions through a cognitive process.  We also know that such people can be easily influenced (coerced) by those around them.  In the extreme, they can also act in his name — even without his knowledge. 

We know that Biden spent more time in a controlled situation in “the bunker” than out in public.  We know he had fewer and shorter press conferences than any President in modern times.  Despite the best efforts of the cover-up conspirators, we eventually saw a President with serious age-related physical and mental issues.

Because of all that, we do not know to what extent Biden controlled the presidential agenda.   We do not know who ran the autopen.  But we can know that Biden was NOT the ultimate decision-maker in the White House in many instances.  He was being handled – managed.  We know that from those ubiquitous cheat sheets.  He has admitted not being aware of Executive Orders that were  signed with the autopen – even denying he signed them.

We have seen this happen in the past with two other incapacitated presidents – Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt.  Those around Biden have essentially established an unelected caretaker government – assuming care over the nation’s business and serving as personal caretakers for a failing Joe Biden.

Yes … Biden’s condition and the ultimately failed effort to fool all the people all the time did produce disasters for the American people.   We cannot know what a fully functioning Joe Biden might have done or achieved.  We just know that we did not have a fully functioning Joe Biden throughout his presidency – and so we cannot have full confidence that he was the man in charge.

The defensive claim that he had a successful presidency is nothing more than a continuing effort to conceal the truth – and to cover some butts.  They say Biden must have been okay to have accomplished so much without any disasters.  But … they are founding their conclusion on a false premise.

One can have pity for Old Joe, but in terms of his legacy, he was not a very accomplished President In general (cheerleaders notwithstanding).  Now his legacy will forever be seen through the singular issue of his dubious competency — and The Great Conspiracy.

With investigations and lawsuits on the horizon, this issue will play out in public for the foreseeable future.

So, there ‘tis.

    Now claims? Not sure when we claimed different?

    Seems your best defense for the maga deep state is to deflect to Biden revenge and retribution.

    Bide’s stats seem pretty good. On the numbers. Seems pretty good. Had inflation issues, pretty much fixed. Immigration was a mess dor sure. But overall, pretty good on the numbers.

    Yes, he shoulda listened to himself in 2020 and groomed someone to run in 2024. Coulda been a Washington serving a term in glory instead of this mess of a legacy.

    .But dragging him through the mud with rumor, tell all books, hearsay, is just muckraking. You’re no better than Comer or Gaypedo Jordan. Court or Congressional testimony. Or have the balls to put legislation out there to fix the problem. Unless you’re just in it for revenge and retribution. ,

      Stupid much? Biden didn’t even know what bills he signed. And how did he pass anything to help us? Typical democrat. Dead from the neck up.

    Joe, and Joe’s new bromance buddy, Dylon roof, which is a bad spelling of Dylann Roof, the white supremacist mass murderer. This keyboard junky spends his time making up funny names, spelling them the best he can with his poor education, and trying to rile up an anonymous lurker on Joe’s site which tickles Joe’s fancy. It’s a unrequited bromance since Dyloon is really just the samer poster who spends his time making up name after name to go after Dunger, because he loves the dunger. He’s a dunger groupie. Wonder if he gets a new fake email each time too.

    Sorry Dylon, as I told your other fake names, you’re not my style. Sounds like you caught Joe’s eye though, if you’re near South Florida….. Amazingly, you were in bad taste until you announced it was all for me, and now you’re in Joe’s eye.

    Back on track with your comment on my comment that Joe’s Presidential metrics are pretty good. Of course, you offered no proof, no evidence, no support as your poor education allows. If you remember when Biden took office, we had the worst pandemic in over a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression with over a million workers unemployed, businesses closed, kids out of school, a covid vaccine but no delivery system, no transition of plans, and thousands of Americans dying every day. The Trump covid pandemic. It was all on Trump’s watch and Trump’s response murdered hundreds of thousands of Americans. More in Red States than Blue, I know a number, perhaps you do too. Trump had three years plus to stop this; he was not ready and had no adequate response. Almost every country in the world fared better than under Donald J. Trump.

    His first day, Biden hit the ground running, releasing his National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response. The largest free vaccination program in history. Biden mobilized 90,000 vaccination locations, dozens of federally run mass vaccination sites, and deployed over 9,000 federal personnel to support vaccinations nationwide. Biden set a goal to get 100 million vaccines in people’s arms in 100 days. His delivery process got 200 million vaccines within 100 days. Trump had posited that the States would handle distribution but never close ranks for that to happen. Biden changed all that without an active transition from Trump who had run, tail tucked, to Mara Loser. Trump created the vaccine but it appears that as he realized he would lose the election, he did not complete his distribution plan and just left us all in a lurch. Thank God for Biden’s covid response.

    Then the American Rescue Plan, another success.

    Then he turned to rebuilding the economy destroyed under Trump. Over his four years, the economy added 16.6 million jobs, only guy to add jobs every month in office, the GDP grew 12.6%. Lowest average unemployment in half a century, after tax incomes rise $4,000, wealth grew 37% for median US households as a record 21 million new small business applications were filed, the most ever. He lowered the increases in the record deficits run up by Trump.

    President Biden’s Invested in America, heartland America with the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act; these are smart investments spurring private sector investments.

    On almost every financial and fiscal vector, Biden rates a positive during his term. YES, Trump’s covid and both Trump’s/Biden’s stimulus did cause a massive inflation as we emerged from Trump’s recession. Biden tamed it. Unlike Trump, there was no recession under Biden. YES, Biden lost a dozen at Abbey Gate trying to extract us from Trump’s pre-announced departure and troop downsizing in Afghanistan. That’s certainly on Biden as is his failed immigration polices and border security. Estimates are that Trump’s covid response cost us over 200,000 Americans. Yet Biden’s economic, financial, and fiscal policies yielded good results and, in total, yes, IMO, Biden’s legacy will be good on the numbers. And as far as I can tell, whites still control America, the Latino-hoards hiding hundreds of terrorists, rapists, gang members, mother rapists, father rapists, still has not taken over America. Except as told on PBP. Biden’s 2024 run was a total disaster of his own making. He should have listened to himself from the beginning, one and done. Trump shoulda heeded that message as he sweats, sputters, and even trips walking up stairs now.

      You’re so stupid it’s hard to believe. You really think that the retard was a great president. Ok. Good for you. I rest my case. That son of a bitch wasn’t even in charge. As for the pandemic, the only thing that your shit party was for was shutting everything down. And injecting people with shit that would kill them. Dumbass dunger. But Trump is enjoying some great poll numbers.

  4. frank danger

    Hardon: I am pretty sure you have no problem thinking I am stupid. You are wired that way. I have provided the stats showing how good Biden was; those are the numbers. And you have not proved they are wrong in any way.

    You say he’s a retard. Prove it. You can’t.
    You say that because he’s a retard, I am wrong. You did not prove it. You can’t.

    I said: “Bide’s stats seem pretty good. On the numbers. Seems pretty good. Had inflation issues, pretty much fixed. Immigration was a mess dor sure. But overall, pretty good on the numbers.”

    You apparently heard: “You really think that the retard was a great president.”

    I then clarified: “Joe’s Presidential metrics are pretty good..”

    You came back with: “That son of a bitch wasn’t even in charge.” But you can’t prove it and I don’t care. I care about the metrics, the stats, the bottom line.

    And then you’re on the bloviating bandwagon stating bullshit like: ” As for the pandemic, the only thing that your shit party was for was shutting everything down.” Dude, the lockdowns were at the State level and guess what —- there are red and blue States. Louisiana, a red state, locked down 3/22, one of the earliest. Ohio, West Virginia, and so many more red states joined them and the rest followed shortly. Trump ordered social distancing and recommended masks.

    “And injecting people with shit that would kill them.” You have got to be kidding, right? Can you really believe this lie? Still? The only people dying from covid, or measles for that matter, are the unvaccinated. For the most part, only the unvaccinated end up in the hospital with either measles or covid. You people actually brought the measles disease back. You even had to go out of your way to make people catch something that was eradicated before you decided you were smarter.

    Great poll numbers? Yeah, one poll, one survey, and the other couple dozen say he’s sucking pondwater. From the bottom. The muddy bottom.

    And I spell my name: danger. And you can’t.

    • Hammon

      My brother took the jab and his lungs were ruined and several other illnesses occurred. Verified by his medical team. And now Trump is fighting hard to have the laws of immigration enforced. And being strongly opposed by leftist politicians. Just like Biden. And of course his token ho. And you said that retard joe has done a great job? Whatever. You have dung for brains.

  5. frank danger

    I am sorry about your brother. I take it he had ILD? It’s unfortunate that vaccines cause ILD but benefits far outweigh the issue which is very small and usually present with underlying issues. Does not matter to you and your brother and I understand your hesitancy to take the vaccine. Should cause no one else to be hesitant as the instances of ILD are extremely low. FYI: exists with flu and other vaccines too.

    Trump stopped illegals at the border basically on day one as Biden had already started bringing that down in 12/24. That part of immigration law protection is complete. Trump now moves to expel the 14 million here, many for over a decade — working, paying taxes, sending kids to school. The vast proportion are not criminal, their border crossing crime is a misdemeanor, a small fine and not even 6 months possible. A misdemeanor is what this is all about, legally. The problem is he can’t keep his promise, he can’t do it, never could. He lied to you. He’s doing 2,000 a day, wants 3,000 a day. That gets you to 4.4M in four years. Not 14 million. So, the pressure is on to get to 3K: he needs to be at 9,600 a day to get to 14M. Not happening. BUT what will happen is pressure to get more. He’s beating on his people to get the numbers. The numbers are the thing. More pressure. Pressure will create the need for more resources to help in the removals. He’s grabbing anyone he can, untrained, not coordinated, just cannon fodder to stem the pressure. Also to create fear and loathing to perhaps force more to leave voluntarily and for certain, good advertising not to come here in the first place. So, a certain type of employee will take that job as others fed up with this line of work quit. It’s already starting with the masks, the military gear, no uniform designations, no warrants, no id, the shackling’s the hobbling’s, shaving heads. And the opposition to this will continue as the pressure builds and ICE-etc. goes deeper and deeper into our society to root them out. First it was the criminals, then the people doing the right thing and turning up at court, then the day workers at Home Depot, then the kitchen/seamstresses/landscapers/painters and migrant farmers. We take the guilty, we take the innocent except for a misdemeanor, we break up families, take kids, some go to a war zone they can’t even speak the language, others to a death camp that we actually fund with our tax dollars. I missed voting for that one. But all 14 million must go, the pressure is on, the tactics are cruel, and the optics are scary mean.

    He will not get the 14 million, he never could. But he will create one mean organization for cruel and unusual punishment without due process, habeas corpus and a complete disregard for the rule of law and our Constitution. It’s about the numbers — 2,000, 3,000, 10,000 arrests a day. It’s all about a quota to meet a promise that is a lie. Pressure is inefficient and costly. Setting impossible goals also wastes money and resources. The bill has yet to be seen, but unless he cook’s the books, Trump is once again running a record deficit that no amount of additional taxation without representation, aka tariffs, will cover. And yes, people, not just leftist politicians will push back. Your naming Biden is stupid; he is out of politics, he is retired, he is fighting for his own life, his work for the country is done. Get over it and open your eyes to the deficit and debt this guy is causing.

    But back on track. Yes, the Biden numbers, the stats, are pretty good for his one term as I have shown above. There are other stats that look pretty good too. Biden builds. Trump destroys. Both have purpose. One is better.

    Larry, you were not there to personally experience Biden’s functioning during his presidency. Since, PBP has always been where opinions rule and biased judgement is the soup of the day. Bias either way is the enemy of objectivity and fact based writing.
    Your commentary writing about Biden and anything you dredge up that you link to Biden is notoriously unreliable and suffers from prejudice.
    The fact is that whatever fantastical fiction you compose and foist of on PBP readers disservice to your readers and to what constitutes a successful democratic president.
    Whatever untruths about Biden that are fabricated on stories you received 2nd or 3rd hand and further fine the information food chain.
    Taken as a whole, it’s ludicrous journalism that you claim is actual proven fact based.
    Any dirt you write about Biden makes him look like a the most upright choirboy when stacked up next to Trump 1.0 and 2.0 not yet 6 months old.
    Trump’s grift, graft, confidence game riddled, gift grabbing, and unceasing self promotion to the tune of many billions gives credence to those who have served Trump in some capacity and report what has and is happening in the WH and in Trump World.
    Investigate, baby, investigate for truth be told, Biden was a better man than Trump and accomplished much business that lifts people up.
    While Trump is plans to be the worst head of the Executive Branch ever.
    Trump brags about being transparent even the most transparent President, ever.. But, all the outrageous actions he comes up with are planned diversions from his cunning treachery that’s transpiring every day in Trump world.
    You can no more read anyone’s mind .than you can understand how Biden’s mind works or figure out where Trump’s mind escapes to.
    People who are not Americans and don’t live on US governed soil. They have an objectivity about Trump, Biden Obama and the Bush’s than you Larry, could come up with if you would live another 79 years. You either all American’s are experiencing life under Trump’s indulgent corruption infected regime.
    Is there no end to the amount of corruption the King wannabe can brought into the White House and those in Congress and the courts can not summon enough patriotic will and exercise their duty to the country and practice the balance of powers concept imbedded in Law through our nation’s great Constitution

    Trump’s repurposed, but did not coin the concept that started MAGA on the road to misadventure in our country and in our government. The great irony that Trump apparently is unable to comprehend is that everything he says is planned to build back and ensure America’s return to Greatness. While the true facts are plain and standing directly in front of us daily. Trump has been the single most destructive President in history to deconstruct America’s original Great-ness. Each and every speech he chokes on when he mentions Great-ness for America He is actually promoting the making of Trump’s greatness an not even close to making America better and it’s great qualities more solid
    Cheaters, habitual liars, profanity spouting, greed infested, and heartless people, supposedly never prosper. The issue I have with that prophesy is that the word “never” is a long time. I would prefer that those who tarnish if not out right steal America”s great attributes for themselves actual go as bankrupt in their businesses as they are despicable in heart. Ultimately Trump will leave this world with nothing and naked just she entered this world. But, Donald’s family will be his beneficiaries and go on like the father. The deserve no great wealth gifted through inheritance. They with Trump should not prosper from the presidency as they did during Trump 1.0.
    As for Biden, there is a special place being built specifically for him that Trump would envy, if Trump had any awareness of things of value greater than precious metals and more material things.

    Where in the world is Waldo Horist. Is he like the wizard of OZ who pontificates behind a thick curtain while spreading fear and bad news to who’re my read PBP.
    Horist could have had a ghost writer carry his hold his rusty hole blasted bucket. But no one has mastered the witchcraft called gaslighting like Larry has. I don’t see him running low or out of that brand of gas before he passes. Now that’s a stinker!
