Power-mad Jill Biden wants Joe Biden to run for president again to exact revenge for the political attacks he has suffered for wrecking the country.
Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley offered that damning assessment on Sunday’s Face the Nation, CBS’s long running political show mostly watched by the nation’s ruling-class elites who don’t attend church.
As well in the panel on Biden’s legacy, which includes aiding and abetting an illegal-alien invasion of the United States, Representative Jim Clyburn, South Carolina Democrat, said Biden should not alter his course.
To which the only correct reply, should Biden win November’s election, is this: “Heaven help us.”
Clyburn: Keep Doing What You’re Doing, Sleepy Joe
Host Robert Costa asked Clyburn what “keeps you up at night politically.”
“Well, the thing that keeps me wide awake are the misinformation efforts that are underway throughout this campaign,” said Clyburn, who entered office in 1993 at age 53:
I’ve heard so much from people sharing with me things that just aren’t true. So much from people who seem to feel that everything they see or hear via the internet has some substance to them. And so that’s the thing that keeps me up, whether or not we’re going to have a campaign for the presidency free of all of these interruptions and all of the misinformation.
Elaborating, Clyburn complained that “people using AI replicated the voice of Joe Biden and put things out over the air that were not true,” unlike the true things Biden has said such as “I’ve never discussed my son’s business with him.”
Clyburn said that “nobody is better equipped … than Joe Biden” to tackle national and global problems because “he has the wisdom,” the “demeanor,” the “relationships,” and “what it takes to get this country to where it needs to be.”
All of which would be true in an apocalyptic global showdown over the world’s ice cream supply.
Clyburn explained what Biden must do to get the black vote, apropos of Biden’s appointing a black woman who couldn’t say what a woman is to the U.S. Supreme Court. “I would say to him, keep doing what you’re doing,” Clyburn said.
The 83-year-old also offered advice about handling the claim that 81-year-old Biden — born the same year that two-ply toilet paper came out — is too old to be president:
Emphasize your experience, emphasize the wisdom, maintain your connections with folks. I’m on my way to New York this evening. I wish the weather were different up there, but I’m going. I’ll be in Pennsylvania very soon, North Carolina, and Georgia, carrying the president’s message of experience, of a steady hand, of maintaining our trek toward a more perfect union, doing the things that are necessary to maintain our relationships around the world and move this country forward on behalf of all.
Costa did not ask whether Clyburn is too old to serve in Congress.
Vengeful “Dr.” Jill
Then came The Hill’s Amie Parnes and historian Brinkley, Suetonius to Biden’s Caesar.
The two discussed Jimmy Carter’s failed presidency, which Brinkely describes as “unfinished” in his book about Carter’s term. The title raises the frightening question of what the country would look like if he had finished it.
One term “is a line that is scaring a lot of people inside Biden world right now and scaring a lot of Democrats because they think that he could possibly go down that Carter path and he could be a one-term president,” Parnes said. “And that is what is driving the campaign right now and driving the White House to prevent him from becoming that.”
Brinkley said he doesn’t believe Biden will drop out of the race and that he hopes Biden keeps Kamala Harris as vice president. But if Biden does drop out, the Democrats must “turn to Kamala Harris unless they were going to do something at the convention, like with the Michelle Obama/Admiral McRaven ticket as some sort of a surprise.”
Costa and Brinkley confessed that such a ticket is “pie in the sky.”
The conversation turned to “Dr.” Jill Biden, who is not a medical doctor.
She “is the vital part” of Biden’s campaign, Brinkley said. “Dr. Jill Biden is it.”
The historian explained that presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson left office because their wives wanted to go home and said enough is enough.
No so with “Dr.” Jill, Brinkley explained:
That’s not the case with Jill Biden. She likes power. She wants to stay. She wants some sense of revenge.… This is — is her home. And the idea of relinquishing it all after you’ve taken the slings and arrows of the last years of attacks, and at the last minute, just when you get all the delegates you’re going to say, I’m going to open it up to a bunch of people, it’s — it’s very childish when you read those kind of reports.
Perhaps that’s because Jill Biden is running the country thanks to Joe Biden’s dementia, a not-unprecedented turn of events. First Lady Edith Wilson ran the country when President Woodrow Wilson was paralyzed with a stroke. Difference is, Biden was stricken before he was elected.
What form “Dr.” Jill’s revenge will take Brinkley didn’t say.
Parnes claimed that Biden thinks he’s the best option for Democrats to defeat Donald Trump.
“Even dating back to 2016, you know, he actually had a beef with Hillary Clinton for a while because he thought, you know, if he would have run instead, he could have beaten Donald Trump,” she said.
Working in the obligatory shot at Trump, Costa invited Brinkley to “step back as a historian,” consider Trump’s legal troubles, and explain whether Americans have ever seen “anything like this.”
“We have not. It makes, you know, Spiro Agnew’s little bribery thing look quaint in retrospect,” Brinkley replied. Agnew resigned as Richard Nixon’s vice president after pleading guilty to income-tax evasion. He also took kickbacks from a county and state contractor when he was Baltimore County executive and governor of Maryland.
The historian left out one important fact. Americans had never witnessed a gang of Democrat prosecutors — at least one elected with money from a Hungarian communist — weaponize the criminal justice system to charge a former president with fake crimes to keep him from running against their presidential candidate.
