Joe Biden's Indecent Exit

Last week, President Joe Biden interrupted a family vacation on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands to pay tribute to Jimmy Carter. Shamefully, the 46th President of the United States could only spare nine minutes of prime beach time to eulogize our 39th President.

Then again, it was only the 570th vacation day that Joe Biden has taken since Inauguration Day in 2021, so what did you expect from a man who has spent 40% of his presidency away from the White House?

Amidst his flowery tribute to President Carter, Geritol Joe couldn’t help but take a parting shot at his soon-to-be successor, Donald Trump. So much for decorum, right?

When asked by a reporter what lessons President Trump could learn from Jimmy Carter, Biden said “Decency…decency… decency.” Yes, the most indecent person to ever sit behind the Resolute Desk actually said that about the man who preceded him – and will succeed him – at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Can you imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needed something and just keep walking?” Biden added, somehow forgetting that – after promising to bring every last person home safely – he left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies behind when he ordered the disastrous troop withdrawal in August 2021.

But that’s not all. President Biden, when informed that his son Hunter had fathered an out-of-wedlock child with a former stripper in 2018, refused to acknowledge his seventh grandchild’s existence for four long, inexcusable years.

You talk about walking right by someone as if they weren't there!

And yet, the irony continued. “Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or the way they talk?” Biden said, incredulously. “I can’t.”

Wait a minute, Joe. Aren’t you the one who called Barack Obama “the first sort of mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy”? And didn’t you also oppose court-ordered busing in 1977 that would have integrated public schools, saying that it would force your children “to grow up in a racial jungle”?

C’mon, man! It sounds like you have a history of judging people by the color of their skin instead of by the content of their character, Joe. I guess that’s why it was so natural for you to say in 2006 that, "you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."

Mr. Pot, please allow me to introduce you to Mr. Kettle.

Apparently, the man whom Special Counsel Robert Hur called “a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory” has forgotten about his multiple promises not to pardon his son Hunter, only to pardon him for all possible crimes – past and future – committed over a 14-year period. That sounds pretty “indecent” to me, Joe. So does commuting the sentences of 37 people on death row including a cop killer, a corrupt judge, and a man who raped and murdered two little girls.

And yes, so does lying to the American people about not having any knowledge of Hunter’s foreign business dealings when, in fact, you profited financially from every last one. Way to go, Big Guy!

There is so much more I would like to say, Joe, but decency precludes me from piling on a man that cognitively-impaired.
