'My Fondless Farewell to the Worst Human Being to Serve as President'

<https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/08/20/my-fondless-farewell-to-joe-biden-n4931788#google_vignette>

'Joe Biden is easily the worst human being to hold the office of
president of the United States of America. The send-off his own party
gave him, as ignominious as it was, was still not nearly as ignominious
as he deserved.

First, Biden was forced out of his reelection campaign, months after
he'd "won" the nomination in a rigged primary, by a cabal of insiders,
including his old boss, Barack Obama. You know, the man who reminded
fellow Democrats to "never underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things
up." Then his farewell address — angry and disassociated — was bumped
out of primetime by an assortment of has-been and never-will-be
speakers.

Biden exited the stage last night, largely forgotten before he'd walked
onto it.

CNN's Chris Wallace summed it up best: "The word that everybody is using
to describe tonight is bittersweet. It's just bitter."

Well, good.

Biden's economic record includes the worst bout of inflation in almost
50 years, a seemingly permanent jobs recession, and an explosion of
spending, debt, and regulation meant to hobble this country for
generations. His foreign policy of coddling authoritarians and dictators
while running roughshod over our allies has unleashed war from Eastern
Europe through the Middle East to the Red Sea — and the Pacific isn't
looking too great, either.

There's more but I don't want to talk about his awful record. I want to
talk about the awful human being.

Biden spent decades using the corpses of his first wife and baby
daughter, Neilia and Naomi, to garner sympathy from audiences. Killed in
a car crash that authorities determined was almost certainly due to
Neilia being distracted by three kids in the car, Biden blamed the
innocent truck driver who "drank his lunch" that terrible day.

Curtis Dunn did no such thing. His daughter, Pamela Hamill, spent years
trying to get Biden to apologize for smearing her father. Although Dunn
was not at fault and was quick to render assistance, he was haunted by
the accident for the rest of his life. Hamill said, “He always got very
solemn around Christmastime because the anniversary was Dec. 18, and he
never wanted to celebrate the holidays.”

Biden never did apologize.

It's true that Biden's life has been filled with tragedy, but he has
always been the opportunist who exploited his tragedies. Ask him, if you
can stomach it, where and how his eldest son Beau died.

There is enough evidence that Biden was, at the very least, sexually
inappropriate with his daughter, Ashley, that if it had come out when
she was still underage, the authorities might have gotten involved.

The less said about Hunter Biden, maybe the better. That man has long
been both the beneficiary and the victim of his father's corruption and
manipulations. It's no surprise that Hunter's personal life has been
filled with drugs and inappropriate (at best) sexual relations.

Then there is the rank corruption of the man who has never worked in the
private sector, never provided a good or service aside from a few books
few people have bought and even fewer have read, who nevertheless raked
in a personal fortune worth eight figures.

The stench of Biden's grift stretches from Delaware to Kyiv to Beijing
and back to Washington, D.C.

We have had worse presidents than Joe Biden, although you have to get
down to the bottom of the barrel where James Buchanan and Woodrow Wilson
reside to find them. But I don't think we've ever had a worse human
being.

The bitterness he must feel at the ignominious end of his career is
nothing compared to the damage, personal and political, he was happy to
leave in his wake.

You shouldn't talk of Trump that way. He's a sad case. Accused Felon,
Convicted Felon, confirmed Rapist, compulsive liar, selfish and a fraud,
but be kind to the old fool as he's almost 80, his mind is slipping away
and won't have much time.

Guilty. The New York jury�s unanimous verdicts on 34 counts mean that
Donald Trump is not only the first sitting or former US president to be
prosecuted in a criminal trial, but the first to be convicted.

Trump was found to have falsified business records to hide $130,000 of hush
money paid to cover up a sex scandal he feared might hinder his run in
2016. Before his entry into politics, it would have been taken for granted
that such charges would kill a campaign. Yet Trump is running for the White
House as a convicted criminal. If he is jailed when he is sentenced in July
� which most experts think unlikely � it is assumed that he would continue.
If anything, the prospect of such a sentence spurs him on.

It is grim testament to his character that in some ways the most startling
aspect of testimony in the five-week trial was about his fear of the
electoral impact that the adult film star Stormy Daniels� allegation of
extramarital sex might have. It was a reminder of how far he has lowered
the political bar. Eight years on, critics have been forced to acknowledge
that no scandal or shame seems to weaken the attachment of his core voters
or the craven bond of Republican politicians. Each fresh revelation has
seemed to almost reinforce his aura of impregnability to political
controversy.

This trial too was in some ways grist to his mill, raising funds and firing
up supporters. Some said they were more likely to vote for him if he were
convicted. He continues to play the martyr: �Our whole country is being
rigged right now,� he lied to supporters. He says he will appeal against
his �scam� conviction.

Yet no one doubts that his anger, and his glum post-verdict demeanour, were
real. Polling suggested that some supporters would think twice if there
were a conviction. The hearings have cost him time and focus ahead of a
closely contested election. With the outcome hanging on turnout and a small
number of waverers in a handful of battleground states this November, even
marginal effects could prove significant. Joe Biden now has an opportunity
� albeit one which must be used carefully, and which will not on its own
erase shortcomings within the Democratic campaign.

The three criminal cases Trump still faces � over the alleged mishandling
of classified documents and attempts to overturn the 2020 election � are
graver by far, but are not expected to be heard before election day. While
this may not have been the case that his opponents wanted, it has proved
that he breaks the law for political advantage. Failing to pursue it for
fear that he would exploit the charges would have meant tacitly caving in
to his bullyboy tactics.

Having wreaked devastation upon US politics, Trump seeks to undermine the
rule of law too. He has assailed the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and
the legal system itself. He broke a gag order 10 times. The damage he has
caused must not be underestimated or overlooked. But the judicial process
has held.

While so many powerful Republican politicians have quailed and fallen into
line, 12 ordinary men and women have held him accountable. Their verdict
has confirmed once more that this man is unfit to run the country. Their
peers should take heed when they issue their own verdict at the ballot box
in November.
