Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
I had resolved not to watch last Thursday night’s debate because I didn’t think it would change anything, and I was right to the extent that it didn’t change anything for me. I already knew President Crusty was a sundowning desiccated old weirdo. But it changed things for people who were on the fence or not paying attention. That’s not going to matter, though. Joe Biden is not going anywhere.
The fact is that Joe Biden is the nominee, and he will remain the nominee. By the next morning, the rallying and rationalization were in full effect. Obama tweeted about how it’s all going to be OK. So did many others after the deathwatch that was the immediate post-debate analysis on the communist channels. And they believe their revised spin. It’s remarkable how easily you can convince yourself of what you want to be convinced of. Denial is not just a river in Egypt; it’s now the official Democrat campaign strategy.
What choice do they have? The Geezer Golem is not going anywhere. Here’s the thing – Joe Biden doesn’t think he did badly. Joe Biden thinks he did great. The people around him are all telling him he did great, starting with his harridan wife. This echo chamber of idiocy reinforces his determination that he is a visionary megamind whose presence blesses the benighted American people. He thinks he’s a genius. In fact, Joe Biden is an idiot and has always been an idiot. And it’s all downhill on the IQ Bell Curve from here.
Don’t bother appealing to his better nature. He never had one and won’t get one now. No one will convince him to look at his deteriorating electoral prospects objectively and sacrifice his ambitions for the “greater good.” To Joe Biden, he is the greater good.
Crusty has the delegates to win the nomination. They won’t go away simply because his terrible debate performance showed him to be a decrepit, sundowning weirdo. Nope, they are still in his pocket, and he will use them. Until Obama threw in behind him, there was a chance that delegations of respected Democrats (sic) would come to the Oval Office to plead with him that he needed to drop out for the good of the party.
Without the Big O pushing it, that will never happen. But even if it did, Biden would reject their entreaties – especially from Obama. This is a guy who still looks at Obama, a one-term senator with a fraction of his experience before picking Joe as a vice president to reassure the normals back in 2008, as an uppity interloper who cut in line ahead of him and had the temerity to treat His Bidenness as an inferior.
Of course, that is based on Joe’s manifest inferiority, but no matter. You have a narcissist’s wounded ego at play, and he will never back down. For years, Barack Obama has run down Joe Biden privately and humiliated him in public, including by guiding him off-stage at that Hollywood fundraiser like the President was a short bus-riding toddler. Joe Biden hates the idea that people think he is being controlled by Barack Obama from behind the curtain.
It’s ego, combined with stupidity and senility, and that is quite a combination. Add to that the fact that Very Real Doctor Jill Biden and a whole bunch of straphangers depend on Joe Biden being President for their position, power, and prestige. They don’t want to go anywhere either. They have no choice but to play this out. It’s not like they can go get real jobs.
So, Biden has rejected the calls that he drop out and the regime media obediently came around. What can they do? Rationalization. They have started to rationalize that his debate wasn’t really that bad. Joe had a cold. How about that stutter? You know, Trump is a big liar. Emotions and passions settled, and they told themselves that this really wasn’t the total disaster that everyone admitted it was the night of the debacle.
They are telling themselves – and us – that it really wasn’t that bad. But it was that bad because this was the one time that normal people paid attention. Folks like us watch this stuff 24/7. We knew long ago that Joe Biden was a mere husk of a man. We’ve watched videos of him stumbling and stagger around for the last few years. None of this was a surprise to us. It simply reconfirmed what we already knew. But normal people are different. Normal people were not paying attention before the debate. They sensed that Joe Biden was old, but lots of people are old. Trump is kind of old, but he seems fine, right?
And then we have this debate, and now normal people are paying attention and holy cow! They see that the regime media and the administration have been lying because this guy is not well. This guy puts the crepit in decrepit. He’s a mess and there’s no covering it up. Even the regime media had to admit it, at least for the first few painful hours. Now they are back to cheerleading the star of America’s real-life “Weekend At Bernie’s” reboot. The image of this guy senile cretin is stamped onto the electorate’s collective consciousness. Watch for his polls to plunge – if they poll it.
Leftists would prefer a senile leftist to a competent, capable conservative, but what are they going to do? Ol’ Daddyshowers won’t go voluntarily, and they can’t force him out. But even if he agreed to cancel his cantankerous candidacy, what would they do? Who are they going to put in? Kamala Harris? They have to – she’s a woman-identifying being of color. How do you step over her for pallor penis-person Governor Gavin Hairstyle? Maybe they could pick Gretchen Whitmer, that frigid Karen from Michigan, and let the shrill white lady come along to save us from the failed black woman. That’s an image they just can’t have.
And no, Michelle Obama will not drop in like the 82nd Airborne to save the day. She doesn’t want to be President, and frankly, she’s not that good. There’s this image of her as somehow beloved, a figure like Oprah, but who digs her who isn’t already in the bag for Biden? She’s tiresome, entitled, and she can barely conceal her contempt for her fellow Americans, among other things. Can you imagine her on that debate stage? She’s unimpressive and annoying. And as for all of these post-Biden options, how would any of them distinguish what he/she/xe would do from what Joe Biden would do? Which one closes the border? Helps Israel? Tells the trans perverts to shut their traps? “All the failure of the Biden years, just without Joe Biden!” is hardly an inspirational slogan.
It won’t happen. There are no more smoke-filled rooms where party potentates dictate who gets to be President this time. The Democrats decided to democratize their primary nominating system and, well, it worked. They’re stuck with Dementia Boy. Heck, they must officially nominate him by August 7th or no Democrat gets on the Ohio ballot. It’s just too late to do anything else, even if Joe Biden was inclined to quit for the good of the party and the country. But he is not inclined as Joe Biden has never done anything for anyone who wasn’t named “Biden.” He will never sacrifice his ego for an abstract notion of party loyalty or patriotism. Nope, the Democrats are stuck. And it is hilarious.

Party rules?
Are you serious? The entire 2020 election was changed in real time against all the rules in multiple states regarding mail in ballots, counting, poll watching, etc. and no one did bupkis because Kurt, who watches the watchers?
I find it interesting that none of the talking heads bring any of this up, what you mentioned regarding the massive fraud.
I watched most of the Megyn Kelly interview of Steve Bannon (his last few days before jail) and the same thing — Trump is going to win big, blah blah blah. Yes, if he is selected.
The thing is that there is, much as Orwell described in 1984, an Inner Party, and Outer Party and the proles. The Inner Party include people like Trump and Bannon because the theater of politics requires it for appearance sake, not for the proles or the masses of people who matter nothing to politics, but for the Outer Party, those who are the audience for their theatrics- business owners, functionaries, government employees, the media complex, religious groups, academia, unions, etc. These people matter only in their utility to the Inner Party and must be kept in a constant state of anxiety, fear, concern about their economic and social station, etc. Whenever any of them become self aware or stop playing the game they are set upon and destroyed- unpersoned, deplatformed, socially ostracized, economically destroyed, etc.
That would describe most of us who can see through this sad little stage craft that poses as a government.
Bannon is Inner Party and this is how they help him build cred so the rest of the Red Team/Blue Team keep themselves invested in the storyline.
HEAR! HEAR! …a better explanation of how the Empire’s system of government actually works than the majority of used and abused idiots care to admit.
It’s unfortunate for the United States of America the obvious lack of anything reputable in the representatives of the two party dupe for the POTUS spot.
Who are these of the “Inner Party”, that we might destroy them? Who are these that are manipulating and lying that we might destroy them. “They” have to be destroyed by any means possible. Bannon sure does not look like an “Inner Party”.
Wow! I finally read the entire piece, a rarity for me. You have to hand it to Sphincter, he’s the king of snark. And he’s right. There is value to have “Biden” stumbling around routinely falling on his face and crapping his pants. It reminds us all what a farce government is.
Kudos to you, I can never finish his articles. I think he writes them mostly for the snark, which has really gotten old.
It fairly leapt off the page this time. Hard NOT to notice…much like Sleepy Joe’s dementia.
The people who feed on that crap should be reminded that “you are what you eat”.
Good analysis. The leftist clowns have now developed a new narrative. Biden is a good man and a good president who had a bad night. None of it is true. He is not a good man, he is probably the worst man – in every way – who has ever occupied the White House, an arrogant, bitter, cynical, corrupt piece of shit, gobbling Chinese gonads for a few shekels. Good president? Sure, sell that to people feeding their kids Ramen noodles morning, noon, and night. Or the parents of women and girls raped and murdered by the goblins he let across the border. A bad night? No, a bad, bad career. He is a nobody from (God help us, there he goes again) Scranton, with a trailer trash family. This worthless bastard has shamelessly used family tragedies for political benefit from literally the day he took office.
No, he won’t quit. He knows prison is staring him and those around him in the face. yeah, he knows it. As a practical matter, it is nearly impossible to remove him from the ballot if he does not want to go, no matter what the slime at the top of the Democrat Party wants. The crazy wife will douse herself in gasoline and burn herself like a Buddhist monk before she lets him throw in the towel.
Trump has some unappealing qualities, but the least attractive is vindictiveness. Whoever he appoints as attorney general is going to go after all of them, count on it.
I loved the debate. Nothing like seeing a bully getting the crap beaten out of him. Let’s go Brandon!
Dollars to donuts, Trump goes after no one.
Best you got?
Best you’ll get in these times.
The eyes of the world are upon us, SS, and they see a damaged ship of state meandering aimlessly as the varying corruptocrats engage in the empire-building that ensues in any collapsing economic giant plummeting toward the underclass status of the rest of the world.
Joe Biden is a narcissist at the helm of a narcissistic family networked to both feed his ego and feed off his influence.
There aren’t enough pardons in the Presidential Pardoning closet to cover the crimes of this Administration. Unless Joe (or his complicit replacement) is able to issue a “blanket” pardon for anyone helping him or a family member commit a crime, including TREASON, then he cannot possibly pardon everyone who has helped this criminal action against our country.
“an arrogant, bitter, cynical, corrupt piece of shit”
So very well describes Biden AND the other guy.
Well, this is just a stupid article. KS believes Joe thinks he’s in charge and more sinister forces are not at play.
Pedo Joe will get Arkansided.
There is too much money on the table for TPTB to kowtow to Demetia Boy’s ego.
Joe dies, Jill goes away quietly(after a massive State funeral for whatever clone is her hubby at the moment) and nobody cares what happens to Hunter.
If Muslim Brotherhood Susan Rice can find a suitable puppet in which her hand fits, Biden is gone. They can’t even pretend with Biden that he got enough votes to win.
Sorry, Kurt. I don’t believe your premise.
Agreed.
He will be discovered in the morning, to have died in his sleep, of an apparent “aneurysm”.
I’m surprised Schlichter doesn’t even bring up the possibility Biden might not “make it” to the election.
I still think there isn’t going to be an election anyway.
Agreed. Elections must always be.THE integral part of the show.
I also think your synopsis is probably going to happen but, there are so many variables in a society that no longer has rule of law, or precedence to follow that everything is unpredictable now. The only thing we can be assure of is that the Marxists are not going to give up power. So, the gloves are off and anything, anything can happen at this point.
And PinocchiJoe.
In Biden’s first appearance after the debate, did you see the doppelgangers face mask slowly melting and coming unstuck, with the tabs popping out of his ears and the silicone coming away from his eyelids? Too hilarious, “I’m Melting—“
And his eye color changed from his natural blue to hazel the following day when in NC.
If you’re serious, why send a body double out there to crap all over it? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
The purpose is the destruction of the United States. The fake Bidens out there front and center are a humiliation ritual. It shows the world that Americans are dupes, and that even though people know that “Biden” is a fake, no one will do anything about it.
Thank you Colonel Obvious. Just figured it out that everything is fake and ghey Colonel Obvious? It’s all too tiresome.
If Biden drops out, there will be no D on the GA Ballot as well. Last Friday was the cutoff date there.
Rules are meant to be broken. 2020 proved that decisively. When Paul Wellstein died a week before the 2002 election, the Dems nominated Walter Mondale instantly. They did have a problem with already-cast mail in ballots but we’re not at that point yet in 2024. If Biden refuses to quit there’s still time to bump him off. Aneurysm, heart attack, whatever.
After they poison him and make the (D) Demented thing stroke out his death will be non-stop news full time for 2 weeks while the CIA background noise creates havoc all over the world while the sheeple are distracted by the 81 million voteman
I’m concerned about the McDonalds Egg McMuffins and Big Macs Mr. Trump consumes, or at least last go ’round he indicated such. ” Aneurysm, heart attack, whatever.”
That’s a lot of wasted ink preaching to the choir about Biden’s incessant shortcomings. How’d your boy Trump and his word salads perform, Schlichter?
Feeling cozy?
Are you entertained yet?
Hilarious in a tragic sort of way.
If being on the deck of the Titanic could be considered hilarious.
Exactly.
Yeah right rino never Trump kurt. It was your ilk that put demented puppet Biden in the White House with your never Trump Rino BS allowing the election fraud and doing all you could to sabotage Trump
biden by the 3am vote. 4 more years!
Should have considered the possibility that Joe dies, as he seems pretty close to doing (already dead from the neck up). I say they embalm him, velcro him to the podium, and have a voiceover read the teleprompter. And all the NPCs will say he’s sharper than ever. Which he will be.
The 2024 votes have already been counted.
