Biden is a 'Word Person', to an even greater extent than Obama is and Woodrow Wilson was. Concerning the latter individual, Sigmund Freud and William Bullitt wrote a psychological study of him, in which they wrote:
"Throughout his life he took intense interest only in subjects which could somehow be connected with speech…He took no interest in mathematics, science, art or music–except in singing himself, a form of speaking. His method of thinking about a subject seems to have been to imagine himself making a speech about it…He seems to have thought about political or economic problems only when he was preparing to make a speech about them either on paper or from the rostrum."
Biden's actions of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal were quite clearly motivated by the speech he was planning to give on 9/11/21, rather than by any kind of coherent planning or policy analysis. Reality, to him, is merely a backdrop to political action, especially speechifying.
The entire Democrat Party is now driven by Word and Image People, and that is also true of the extensions of the Party in media and academia.
It’s horrible. There are predators in the world, and the people in charge of our country right now are of impaired intelligence, or below normal competency. This is absolutely sick. We can only hope that the inherent strength of the country can ride out this disaster.
Agree about most of the folks you mention (you missed one those tied for dumbest of all, Sen. Patty Murry) but I take issue with you on Obama. He was really good at reading a speech or a teleprompter. But when he was speaking extemporaneously he showed his true colors. And it was mostly a dull gray. If he were as bight as everyone said, we would be shown his college records, a SINGLE article for the Harvard Review, WHICH HE EDITED!!! without ever penning a piece. Go back and find any time when O was either going off the script or was just taking questions. Lots and LOTS of um's and ah's and well, and you know's and okie doke and so forth. Also, whenever he did actually take questions from the press, his answers were very long, repetitive and completely EMPTY of any substance whatsoever. Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for writing the truth. Quite sad we have such morons in office. Biden and Harris aren't leaders.
You overrate Obama. Know him. Smug, arrogant, confident, pampered and shallower than the ashtray he needed hanging at Norb Andy's 25 years ago. No one better at recapping debating points, but unable to do much more than that. Shockingly, he believed the crap we were taught at university. That alone, blew me away. Obama is predictable and a nerd.
I can imagine the comments if this piece were posted on a newspaper rag like the san jose mercury news -- that worships covid fear, and kam. Tribalism is so engrained that Harris could take a shit on the streets of san francisco, and it would be a progressive event to be celebrated. You are correct, at the very least, she's not qualified.
I have one good friend who is able to engage politically with me despite holding a different view, rare. After all the years of trump hating, I asked him what he likes most about biden, He replied that he does not have to listen to anti-trump stories each day anymore -- that's it. Probably what most dems would say if they were willing to admit it.
Go covid go. Soon there will be recovery meetings for testing addictions. And group therapy for everyone who cannot fathom that the cold and flu are not going away -- even after the 3rd shot.
Yes, the favorably noted politicians all have intellectual acumen which they have combined with a native political cunning in order to achieve their goals, However, the author gives no examples that these political ends show any real judgement, discernment, or common sense when measured against long-term effects. Those whose choices evidence a lack of such qualities - judgement, discernment, common sense - are, by definition, "morons."
I would really feel bad about it if I thought that America had actually elected them.

In 2016, a blowhard beat a narcissist. Okay.
In 2020, a buffoon beat a blowhard. Okay.
Now we need to put a narcissist up against a buffoon. Rock paper scissors.
However, in the UK in 2019, a buffoon beat Resident Evil. Buffoon could be the way to go.
Was it over when The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? I ask because Joe Biden isn't totally sure.

Definitely right about Harris but I think you might be giving too much credit to some of the other democrats.
