Joe Biden can’t be President this week ‘cuz he needs a nap. He was supposed to take a trip to the Middle East, but his handlers couldn’t keep him awake long enough to get the deal done. He’s a weary old man. I’m paraphrasing, but that’s coming from the very liberal newsroom at the New York Times. The paper of Liberal record.
I’m sure they are disappointed. Democrats, The Middle East™…
A New York Times article questioning Biden’s abilities is opening the floodgates for Democrats to admit they have a problem, both now and in 2024.
One bit of news delivered by Baker is that Team Biden delayed his trip to the Middle East so that he could get some rest. Does that seem like normal presidential behavior to you? Imagine if any past presidents, especially Trump, admitted they just needed some good nap time before boarding Air Force One and flying overseas. It turns out that Biden was originally scheduled to include the Middle East in his trip to Europe last month but Team Biden decided not to “unnecessarily tax” him.
The Dems are looking for a storyline that will allow them to ease Joe into retirement. The problem is that they have no one more appealing to replace him, and that’s saying something. All the high-profile Dems are leftist radical nutjobs wholly unappealing to swing voters and Middle America.
Harris is a no-go. She’s less appealing than those. So, while Uncle Joe has gotta go when his term is up, where do Dems go from there? That’s not my problem, but it will be a great source of material for future blogs.
And on that note, one of our readers, who likes to create the occasional meme, came up with a few other reasons why sleepy Joe might not be able to take the trip.
