Biden’s Senility Takes Center-Stage on Jimmy Kimmel, His Political Excuse-Making Was Worse – Opinion

Jimmy Kimmel hosted Joe Biden Wednesday night. He did not do anything to improve his chances, and he rants against the Supreme Court, the day after it was revealed that a liberal deranged tried to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Here’s what my colleague Nick Arama had to say about that.

On a day including an assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh and vile tweets directed at his family, you would think Biden might try to present a unifying, calming presence. It was not so. Biden didn’t even bring it up or condemn it, and Kimmel never asked about it. Indeed, Biden attacked the draft decision of the Supreme Court calling it “ridiculous.” He whipped up more anger against the Court and indicated that he would try to get around the decision.

But as I’ve shared before, the new rules on incitement and rhetoric don’t apply to the left. Biden’s incitement to hatred and the decision to make it more difficult to murder babies during pregnancy will not be exposed. This is a stunning display of immorality.

What else do you find stunning? You can see how old Joe Biden. I mean, that’s not the main reason I’m posting this clip for discussion, but how can you ignore how bad this is?

Biden says there’s a lot of “major things” he’s done, he just hasn’t “been able to communicate it in a way that is, uh, um…”

The mumbling and stumbling, the telling Kimmel that he “overstands,” and the quick cut to a commercial as it’s clear the president isn’t going to stop face-planting presents quite the scene, doesn’t it? If there’s ever been evidence that age limits are needed for high office, this interview is a case study.

But even ignoring the uncomfortable mental deficiency on display, Biden falls into the leftwing fallacy that just won’t die: Every policy failure is actually because the American people are just too stupid to understand.

It is not unreasonable to expect that the president will have mental episodes. This man is clearly in decline as he grows older. What you wouldn’t expect is for him and his handlers to stare at the sky and continue to insist it isn’t actually blue. That’s what blaming “messaging” for the administration’s woes is at this point. It’s a nonsensical, pathetic excuse for bad policy.

Americans can easily read a bank account. They can read bank statements and know the cost of gas. They are able to see the impact inflation has had on their grocery costs. As the stock market plummets, they see how their retirement savings are shrinking. These things are not going to be made better by any amount of marketing. Biden’s fallback of citing job growth doesn’t resonate because most are smart enough to understand (not overstand) that the pandemic artificially suppressed the job market. It is possible that a blind and three-legged dog would have watched over job growth in such an environment.

Economics boils down to these two questions for individuals: What amount of money am I able to spend on goods and services? No one cares about “wage growth” when inflation is outpacing it by nearly two to one.

It is absurd for Biden, to suggest that he needs more messaging. Kimmel even tried to assist the president with his brain-breaking thoughts, which is perhaps more absurd. That kind of hackish behavior is astounding, though not surprising given Kimmel’s rampant partisanship. Is it any wonder that Greg Gutfeld, only having a cable news show, is beating Kimmel’s broadcast show in the ratings?

Regardless, I’d remind Biden of the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over when it’s so obviously not working is the stuff of lunacy, not a competent president. It doesn’t matter how many messaging tweaks you make.
