Joe Biden Abandons His Duties Again, Heads out on Vacation During an International Crisis – Opinion

Joe Biden, as this current crisis in international affairs rages. Well, at the time of this writing, he’s settling into another long weekend on vacation, this time to Camp David.

In a scene that may become iconic if Russia does indeed invade Europe per the White House’s prediction, Biden stumbled across the South Lawn to his helicopter, taking no questions. He did take a few selfies just before he left, however. You know, because it’s not like anything important is going on.

RedState has reported that Washington is pounding the drums of war, calling an imminent Russian invasion into Ukraine. It could occur within the next few days. The administration also called for Americans’ departure from the Eastern European nation. It stated that it will not support anyone who is left behind.

Remember the days when Americans could travel freely knowing they would not abandon their citizens to any hostile country? Biden has given up the pretense of even pretending that’s still true.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned in the White House briefing area as NSA Jake Sullivan arrived to give the information that President Obama should be receiving.

There are days when it’s acceptable for a president to take a break, and enjoy a little rest and relaxation. This wasn’t one of those. Rather, it was a day when you’d expect Biden to be in the situation room, surrounded by his national security team, monitoring the crisis and working the phones to try to prevent another world war. Instead, as Biden has done nearly every weekend he’s been in office, he left early Friday for a four-day weekend away from the White House.

It’s insane, and it’s the kind of thing no president, not even a thoroughly incompetent one, would do if they otherwise had the ability to be present and lead. Biden is far from the smartest man to hold the office, but he’s cognizant enough to recognize how horrible these optics are, especially with the midterms coming up. The only explanation left for his behavior is that he simply can’t physically do the job. You can see how mentally impaired Biden was in his most recent interview.

Let’s also keep in mind that Biden isn’t going to the Munich Security Conference either. Instead, he’s sending Kamala Harris to deal with European leaders as they sit on the verge of war. Again, that’s insane, and it points to a constant trend of the president outright abandoning his duties. Is the argument really that he’s so busy, all he can do is…take vacations every weekend?

Biden is a man who can’t fulfill the role he’s been placed in, and instead of trying to mitigate the political damage, he seems content to burn it all down. I get that he’s a 79-year-old geriatric with nothing else to play for, but other Democrats would probably appreciate him not drowning the entire party. That’s exactly what’s going to happen though.
