How Joe Will Go

By CHRISTOPHER MANION

The attacks on Donald Trump for the past eight years have gone by like a perpetual motion machine. All required parts were assembled long ago, and the fine-tuned operation is regularly refueled, with precision and on schedule.
So that’s the state of the War Against Trump, and the war correspondents who wield the media megaphone are staying on message.
But wait — what about Hunter? Joe’s bribes? The Biden Family Crime Syndicate?
Sorry. Every new revelation about Hunter is mysteriously drowned out by a new indictment.
In fact, the media filter is making sure that, while we aren’t hearing very much about Hunter, we aren’t hearing very much about Joe either.
Where is he?
Well, we know where he isn’t. He’s not comforting victims of the fires in Maui, or families still suffering from the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio six months ago. “No comment,” says Joe, relaxing at the beach while his lawyers fight release of any records that might prove his abject malfeasance.
Good old callous Joe.
Joe doesn’t hold press conferences, have campaign rallies, work the crowd, or anything else that presidents running for re-election usually do.
But that’s fine with the folks who run Joe. Last time around, he won sitting in his basement. His silence, and the legacy media’s silence about it, are all part of a carefully calibrated Kabuki operation masterminded by the quiet cabal of Obamanites who planned it all.
But that was then. Now Joe’s handlers aren’t thinking “four more years.” They’re focused on the next seventeen months.
That’s right. As of noon on Sunday, August 20, that’s how long Joe’s presidential term has left.
Can he last? They don’t know.
Right now, nobody seems to miss Joe, and that’s good. His appointees — the most radical bunch of misfits ever to grace the White House cabinet room — are now in charge the country, and they’re all disasters.
From Homeland Security, Mayorkas supervises the invasions at the border. From Treasury, Yellen firebombs the economy. At Justice, Garland, the most unashamedly anti-Catholic attorney general since the nineteenth century, orchestrates the show trials that have only one goal: Keep Joe in office and his enemies at bay.
“The best defense is a good offense.”
They know their Knute Rockne.
So, Joe’s in good hands, but what about the country? At Defense Lloyd Austin has made us profoundly unsafe. Austin directs the “abortion vacation project” for members of the military. He says it’s to maintain “unit cohesion,” but unit integrity is in free-fall. Recruitment and standards for our service members are at an all-time low, the country is skidding into a two-front war with Russia and China — all while Joe relaxes on the beach.
That’s right: While the country’s a mess, Joe’s safe.
At least for now. But countless congressional investigations are turning up new information every day. Pretty soon Joe might be facing more articles of impeachment than Trump’s got indictments.

Operation Not Kamala

On the personal side, Joe’s got his own problems. Not just his visible decline, but the mental wear and tear, the dementia and all its symptoms.
Of course, all these defects so obvious in Joe would be fatal to most politicians — but Joe’s handlers, in a dialectical tour de force, are preparing to turn them into assets that will pave the way for Joe to go — quietly, peacefully, and beyond the reach of the Rule of Law — at the end of his term.
Frankly, they have no alternative. The reason?
Kamala Harris.
By now even the most radical, pro-abortion Democrats recognize that she simply can’t be allowed to occupy the Oval Office. In fact, that’s why Joe chose her. Sure, he’d promised to choose a black woman as his running mate, but Ms. Harris, who was the most left-wing of 100 senators in the 116th Congress, has also simply been a disaster.
And Joe’s handlers planned it that way. Kamala was, and is, Joe’s insurance policy.
Since Kamala is a permanent obstacle, they’re going to make her an asset. As cries for Joe’s impeachment mount, the Left will taunt us: “Do you really want Kamala?”
That does it. Joe simply has to serve out his term. He has to. If Gavin Newsom had been his running mate, Joe would be gone by now.
But he’s not. Kamala is.
And Kamala explains why they’re taking such good care of him. Long vacations, short workdays (when he works at all), world-class medical care, protection not only from the media, but from any unsettling circumstances that might ignite unhappy responses — they’re all designed to make sure that Joe is going to stay in office until January 20, 2025, or die trying.
But wait — what about the corruption, the crimes, the betrayals, even the treason that investigations might reveal?
Joe’s handlers are slowly and calmly preparing the American people for the truth. They’ll wait as long as possible but, count on it, when the axe is about to fall, they’ll try to pull it off.
When Joe’s ChiCom money changes from bribery to treason, when the House passes an impeachment resolution filled with too many crimes to ignore, when “Trump!!” is not enough to quell the outrage….
That’s the moment that Joe will suffer an “incident.” It might be a fall, it might be an outburst….
And it might be a stroke.

Get Ready For The 1919 Project

There are seventeen months until Inauguration Day 2025. For history buffs, that number rings a distant bell.
That’s it — President Woodrow Wilson! He suffered a stroke in October 1919 — exactly seventeen months before the end of his term. Wilson was too infirm to attend Warren Harding’s inauguration, but he was in office until Harding was sworn in, protected by his wife and kept not only from the public but from most everybody else.
That’s the template that Joe’s handlers will follow. The quiet part? “We all know that nobody wants Kamala.” For the loud part?
They’ll turn to the Gold Standard of pompous palaver.
Barack Obama.
“A sense of empathy is at the heart of my moral code,” Obama wrote in The Audacity of Hope.
And Joe’s handlers will be audacious indeed when they make their play.
“How can you punish a man who is old, sick, and mentally infirm,” they will tell the millions waiting to lock him up as soon as he leaves the White House. “He is a loving father, not a criminal. Can’t we all show some empathy for this wonderful man in his last days?”
They really think they can pull it off. They’re gonna wave “empathy” the way Joe shakes his rosary.
And their audacity might well strike a sympathetic chord. The religious among us might pause for reflection when Joe’s handlers — masters of cynicism that they are — cite Scripture in their desperate efforts to keep him out of jail:
“Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life; even if his mind is failing, have patience with him, and despise him not” (Sirach 3:14-15).
“Dr. Jill” will write that verse on Joe’s forehead if she has to. It worked for Woodrow, why shouldn’t it work for Joe?
Come on! Joe has no empathy. Why should we?
Americans are a very forgiving people. In the midst of chaos and crime, we lay low, shake our heads, and try to move on with our lives.
Will it work? We don’t know.
But they think it will. And that’s how they want Joe to go.
