Victor Davis Hanson: Is Biden Malicious, Incompetent, or Conniving?
American Greatness ^ | 5 Feb, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Things are so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters.

What Excites Biden?

Things are becoming so strange, so surreal, so nihilistic in contemporary America that the chaos can only be deliberate. Chance, incompetence, and accident could not alone explain the series of disasters we now daily witness that are nearly destroying the country.

When the ailing and non-compos-mentis president now speaks, he rarely becomes excited about Iranian or terrorist provocations. Biden seems restrained even at Russia’s outlawry in Ukraine. The atrocities of Hamas now earn only measured objections from Biden. He does not seem too angered by the collapse of the border. Nor do the deaths of 100,000 Americans to imported fentanyl earn a loud trademark Biden scream.

No, what earns his unchecked ire, often expressed in shouts and hysterical tones, are Donald Trump and his supporters. Most recently, out of nowhere, Biden resurrected the old and proven falsehood that Trump had libeled the Normandy dead as losers and suckers. He then compounded that libel by claiming Trump’s supposed dismissal of the heroic dead was a grievous family insult to his own late son, who did not die either in combat or while in uniform but in 2015, tragically, from brain cancer.

During these anti-Trump fits, Biden wakes up and his face tightens up. He begins screaming, in uncharacteristic, animated fashion, anytime he can smear half the nation’s voters as “semi-fascists” and “ultra-MAGA” extremists. In private, he swears that Trump is a “f—ing asshole” and “sick f—k.” If only Biden substituted “cartel” or “Iran” or “Hamas” for “Trump” or “MAGA.” we might see an animate president.

A Borderless Nation.

Great article. The driving force behind Bidens action ruining America is easy to spot. Anything Trump did has to be reversed at any cost- because Biden has been brainwashed as the anti-Trump by his handlers and must behave as such. The issue of course is Trump had some solid policies (immigration, foreign policy ,economic, law enforcement) and when you reverse them you get chaos. Trump lives rent free in Bidens head- Brandon is consumed by him. This obsession as pointed out in the article has destroyed the nation in 3 short years. They better get Trump locked up quickly-Im not sure cheating can save Biden at this point.

Come now, VDH. Stop 'dancing'. You're much too intelligent to suggest anything else but a deliberate effort to destroy the country.

Biden is clearly not in control of anything by design. He is a blackmailed puppet by the Obama Regime...the power behind the curtain.

"We are nearing a French Revolution, reign-of-terror moment. The law seems to be what a cabal of hardcore leftists who control the Oval Office say it is.

Joe Biden’s administration offers no better confirmation of warnings from Thucydides to Thomas Hobbes that the veneer of civilization is precious, hard-won, quite thin, and beneath it churns innate human savagery and chaos roaring to be released."

To the first bit: the 'revolutionaries' just may meet the same fate as Robespierre.
To second bit: as much as I would NOT want to see or wish for such a scenario, I can't deny a passing thought of the satisfaction of seeing some of them begging to be spared from the wrath of the victims of the savagery they promulgate.

Biden is certainly malicious and conniving. He always has been, and you can add vindictive too. As for incompetent, it depends on if his purpose is to continue the destruction of the US begun with Obama, because Biden is sure doing a bang up job of accomplishing those destructive goals.

None of this was by accident. It is the dividend of a philosophy that says, “We have to blow up your America before we can reboot it for us.”

Very well-stated, and exactly what is happening.

Victor Davis Hanson: Is Biden Malicious, Incompetent, or Conniving?

None of the above.

What's wrong with VDH? Biden hasn't functioned as President for two years or more.

Anyone who thinks "Biden" (Joe) is running anything as a serious cognitive problem.

Read all the posts on this thread!

How happy they all will be when Biden’s retirement is announced at the convention!

All their “FJB”, all their fascination with Hunter Biden’s drugs and whores, all the posts on “Dr. Jill’s” wardrobe!

VICTORY! It worked!

Now we can relax! Newsom? Whitmer? Who ever heard of them?

Besides, how bad can they be? MAGA!

He is all these things listed and more. He is a jackass, a moron, he is a pervert and child molester. He is a pants pooper, a plagiarist, a cheater and fraud, a thief, a home wrecker, a bumbler, a liar.

Need more?
