Biden is becoming increasingly more dangerous every day

I think they allowed it because they attacked Trump as well.

In the meantime, Biden (or his close associates) are busily trashing America’s rule of law and allowing critics to depict the entirety of the West as deeply hypocritical. I’m no fan of Donald Trump – he was good on tax, regulation and the Abraham accords, but was inflammatory and disorganised, failed repeatedly in many other policy areas and terminally disgraced himself by refusing to concede his obvious defeat.

He probably broke some laws, but the Biden administration looks to be abusing its power by weaponising the Justice Department to destroy him. The presidency should be determined through elections, not court cases. America is turning into the sort of banana republic in which all previous rulers are prosecuted for deeds during their time in office.

Perhaps most toxic of all, the American election is thus based on a fundamental untruth: the claim that Biden will be president until 2028 if he is re-elected next year. Given the apparent speed of his deterioration, there must be very little chance of him lasting more than a couple more years in the White House.

By 2025 at the latest, even The New York Times – a newspaper which devotes more time to attacking Brexit than to investigating the somewhat more important matter of the health of its president – will surely be forced to admit that the game is up. He will eventually resign leaving Kamala Harris to become president for two or three years.

It would be much better to end this charade today. Biden should announce that he isn’t standing after all, and either Harris or somebody else would be selected as the Democratic candidate.

This would also radically shift the Republican dynamic. Trump might beat Biden, and certainly Harris, but he may not be so well placed against Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, or another leading Democrat.

America’s politics is stuck in a disastrous replay of the 2020 election, with two greatly sub-optimal candidates fighting each other. Removing Biden might allow the Republicans to reconsider whether they really want somebody who might be in prison this time next year to be their candidate.


A more radical possibility would be for Biden to resign before his term is up and hand over to Harris. She would be an even worse president than Biden but at least she would be in full control of the administration. It would be preferable to have her in power for a year than for a lot longer in a second Biden-Harris term.
From what I've seen Harris is dumb as a bag of bricks and wouldn't have anymore control than Biden.
