Thoughts on Joe Biden’s Last Day in Office

By | January 19, 2025

[January 19, 2025]  I was pessimistic about Joe Biden’s election to the office of the President of the United States. To me, it appeared obvious that Biden lacked the basic moral character to be a good president for all citizens.

“Let me be blunt. The real problem is that Joe Biden does not have today, nor has he ever had, the strength of character to lead the United States …Those who can be honest with themselves know this to be a reality. Biden’s history is full of his character failures in the form of political corruption; both himself and members of his family.” — Gen. Doug Satterfield, January 22, 2021

In this article published the day after his inauguration in Washington, D.C., I wrote about Biden’s failures as a leader. Yeah, I told you so. But being right is not good enough. We Americans must learn that voting for someone because they belong to your political party invites a number of tragedies for which we will be unprepared.

In the same article, I warned that Joe Biden “has dementia” and that the only question was “… how long it will take before he can no longer function.”  Sadly, in hindsight, his inability to function was hidden from the vast majority of us, but those like me were never fooled. For that evil, we had to tolerate a long list of terrible decisions like the Afghanistan retreat and various unconstitutional executive orders.

I predicted this failure of leadership and lack of character in Joe Biden back in October of 2020 when I did a detailed comparison of both Biden and Trump.  The differences were striking and as we can see over the past few weeks, Biden is again proving that he is not just a poor leader but also lacks the basic morals required to lead our nation.

Biden will be regarded as one of the most partisan politicians to hold this Executive position. He used “lawfare” to attack his opponents, politicized the U.S. justice system, destroyed the fighting ability of our armed forces, placed highly unqualified leaders in cabinet positions, allowed his son Hunter to milk millions of dollars from other countries illegally, and the list of major screw-ups is nearly endless.  Should we be surprised any longer?

“The Joe Biden story is one of the greatest tragedies of American politics… He should be having a glorious, well-deserved, highly acclaimed retirement. And he’s not. It’s hard to blame anybody but him.” — James Carville, veteran Democrat political strategist

To put the icing on the cake of Biden’s last days in office, we discovered that the vast majority of Americans believe his presidency was a failure. And this past Friday, in a bazaar tweet, Biden claimed the “Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land,” attempting to ratify the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution himself by fiat.  This can be seen as a last-ditch effort to bolster his failed leadership. But he did not succeed, once again. Another failure can be stacked on the already large disaster of his presidency.

This is all very predictable, of course, as many of us experienced in the methods of good leadership already know. As the days pass into weeks, the incoming Donald Trump Administration will uncover more of Biden’s maliciousness and corruption. I’m sure it will shock those of us who expect more from our government. Biden will fall lower in our eyes because we expect our leaders to at least do the minimum right things. Biden never did achieve this standard.  We saw it coming, and we are here.

“The humiliation of being rejected by his own party is a fitting end to a life spent betraying his country.” — a commentary on Fox News

The soon-to-be ex-president Joe Biden’s term was a clown show of epic proportions. It’s no wonder his Democrat Party is leaderless and in total disarray.

    There may be many here – no, most here – who will be excited that Joe Biden is today spending his last day as president. And while I do agree fully and that he was a horrible president that cost the lives of many, I do believe that it is important to remember that sometimes we need an example before us of what “evil” looks like and we can see plainly that Biden and his family are evil and they need to go away and never be seen again. He will be in the dumpster of history and good riddance. Go away, Joe. We don’t want you.

    Well, here we are on the last day of Joe Biden and his criminal administration. Too bad we never got the chance to Article 25 him out. This would show that Americans don’t mess around when it comes to political corruption. The Joe Biden Crime Family ™, ®, © will be further disgraced by themselves as more of their malfeasance comes out over time. Then, U.S. Americans will need to make a decision to bring old slow Joe back for the crimes he committed or just allow the history books and thousands of articles like this one to document Joe’s crimes and at worse, his evil deeds. I had hoped he would have run against Trump so more of his failures would be exposed to the crazies that supported him. Oh well, that is past. Now, it’s time to move on to make America MAGA again.

      Hey, JT has the TM, copyright, and registration on “The Biden Crime Family.” Wow. /sarc 😂😂😀😀⚡️⚡️💥💥🎆🎆. Just kidding of course but the very fact this is even joked about is both shocking and truth revealing. Joe Biden and his enablers of his family all got rich of the corruption and now will enjoy their lives thanks to Joe’s presidency pardons. Disgusting abuse of the American legal system. Fortunately, he will be painted as the worst, most corrupt, dumbest, most hated president in history.

    The day has finally arrived and Joe Biden doing damage to our nation as we throw him out is scary. But we will undo the vast damage to us and be better for it as a people. Let us uplift ourselves and adopt the needed responsibility necessary to look to a brighter future and do what needs to be done in a fair and cooperative spirit. That is the real Americans who reject the neo-Marxism of Joe Biden and his clown show Administration. A new America is coming that will be good for everyone.

    Joe Biden is the worst US president in the history of our great nation. Now is the time to unite under a real leader, Donald Trump, who has the moral fortitude to lead us and the world toward peace and prosperity.
