The question which, I’d imagine, is on virtually everyone’s mind is, just exactly who is running the White House, because–as he sinks ever deeper into dementia–it sure ain’t ol’ Joe.

And the next question is, since recent articles say that staffers saw the signs his mental decline from the very first days of his Administration, just how far back in time did this creeping coup originate?

It is obvious that some mechanisms will have to be devised to make it much harder for such usurpations to occur in the future.

One place that such changes might be started is a law suit to challenge the validity of these unconscionable pardons, on the basis that Biden did not have the mental capacity to make evaluations of the merits of each case, sufficient to lead a reasonable person to grant/sign these pardons.

(Just which crazy leftist ideologue, for instance, in the White House advocated for these blanket pardons. Who, for that matter, introduced this idea to ol’ Joe, and who put the documents in front of him, and got him to scribble his signature? Did someone–a la the movies–just put a whole thick wad of documents needing his signature in front of Biden, and he just went down through the stack–not reading them–but just signing away?)

Should such a law suit reach the discovery phase, names could be named, and all sorts of unsavory, illegal, and Unconstitutional things might be brought to light.

Yes, God judges by his exalted standards, not our lowly ones, ‘no one is worthy not one’ as much as we might consider ourselves above this wretched puppet they put upon us, but there are examples if not far afield, nebuchanezzar came to wisdom after his folly,

JDinPA on Xmas Eve seems to wish clemency on stupidity, corruption and EVIL in our political class. I will not join him in that.

The procedures clearly contemplate a President unambiguously physically unable to carry out the duties of his Office, not merely with diminished faculties or disliked by his Party.

No, they don’t. The procedures provide for a president to take a voluntary leave. The procedures also provide for adjudicating between competing claims, which would not be the case if they were only meant to address a comatose president. Woodrow Wilson wasn’t comatose. His wife, was, however, hiding him from everyone but his doctor.

but this was exactly obamas strategy, only bitter clingers, clinging to their guns and bibles, would complain, about this,

the misidenfication of Amelia Carter, was somewhat born of hope, but its unlikely she would be identified,

Joe indirectly gave Obama a rare chance to appear wise by observing that one should never underestimate Joe’s ability to F’ things up! A rare Obama true insight!

Of course, had he not sought to protect himself against removal by appointing Joe VP, we would have been spared the agony of finding out just how correct he was!

On the 25th Amendment, I don’t think it was ever designed, despite claims that seemed to start during Trump’s first term due to the ambiguous wording, to remove a President either because of diminished capacity or via parliamentary maneuvering. It wasn’t really needed prior to the Cold War because uncertainty over the Presidental transition would not be critical until we might be faced with Presidental vacancy that could occur because of or precipitate a rapid all-out attack. The procedures clearly contemplate a President unambiguously physically unable to carry out the duties of his Office, not merely with diminished faculties or disliked by his Party.

Why throw out the king when every Duke gets to run their fiefdom as they see fit with massive public money?

Cicero –
With due respect, pronouncements on who will or will not be eternally damned are best left to the one possessing the power to damn. Personally, in that forum I’m rooting for a liberal – even extravagant – dispensation of clemency that would extend to Joe Biden, and maybe pretty far beyond that.

That’s why he had to steal it.

(Decent Joe had ONE principle: Never EVER lie to yer mother-in-law…)
