What the Debate Really Revealed

 


72% of Americans feel Biden is not competent to be president. Yet the race is within 2 points.
How is that possible?

Murray debated playing in Wimbledon this year. He had back surgery and still has bilateral leg weakness.
Djokovic had knee surgery three weeks ago but will play. Meniscus.
Aryna Sabalenka withdraws with a shoulder injury.

And, for those who look to the BBC to calm discussions down, David Aaronovitch, who presents Radio 4's Briefing Room show, took to X/Twitter shortly after 5 pm and said: “If I was Biden I'd hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America's security #SCOTUS”.

Sotomayer's dissent over the 'presidential immunity' decision was so bizarre and unserious that I worry the Supreme Court's high ground of 'designated grownup' might slip away. It was like a Twitter rant.

The guy breathing easier after the 'immunity' decision is Obama, who ordered a lethal strike on an American citizen without due process.

What the Debate Really Revealed

In a discussion on the debate this weekend the participants had a surprising take on the event. They felt the Democrats were teetering on a precipice of chaos if they tried to displace Biden but the emphasis was misplaced. The real problem was that Trump had to be defeated because he was of poor character and the proof was he lied 33 times in the debate.

It was surprising to hear that Truth had returned from its long exile from the national stage. Especially the demand for Truth from Biden and his organization. Biden is a notorious confabulator and has been so for his entire political career. (Before his more recent deterioration, he was simply a liar.) But essential to this 'presidential' behavior is its gigantic support system of the media and the party, whose loyalty is solely to winning--to the exclusion of everything, including the health and wellbeing of the nation.

That sacrifice of the safety and betterment of the nation for personal gains, of course, is the definition of the behavior one would characterize as the nation's enemies.
