We didn't think he'd last the year, so we're thrilled that Joe Biden is still (sort of) alive to share this distinction with his crackhead son. It's sort of like LeBron James (a flopping geezer bitch) getting to play in the NBA with his son Bronny (a talentless failure).
Sleepy Joe, who recently celebrated his 83rd birthday, would still have three years left in his second term if Democrats had gotten what they wanted—before changing their minds at the last minute. Like any self-respecting Man of Greatness, he would never forgive their barefaced treachery.
A series of books published earlier this year shed new light on the relentless pettiness with which Biden sought to burn it all down on his way out and guarantee that Donald Trump would rise again. We learned that Biden's team, in an effort to save his candidacy after the disastrous CNN debate, had warned Democrats that his chosen successor was too incompetent to succeed him. They weren't wrong.
Kamala Harris, in her own book about the election, recalled that Biden called her minutes before she walked on stage to debate Trump to ask if she'd been talking smack behind his back. The very next day, Biden wore a Trump hat while yucking it up with firefighters in Pennsylvania. Weeks later, just days before the election, Biden blundered his way into the news cycle by calling Trump supporters "garbage." That was some real gangster shit.
Biden kept the petty drama going into 2025. He pardoned his entire degenerate family on his last day in office. He went on The View with Dr. Jill and said he would have won. Given the chance to endorse a Harris presidential run in 2028, he said the party had "a lot of really good" alternatives. When Jake Tapper wrote an opportunistic book about Sleepy Joe's alleged decline, Biden challenged him to a fight knowing full well he could "beat the hell" out of the priggish newsboy. Tapper declined on account of being a little bitch.
Consider this a fitting capstone to an interminable career. Destined to be remembered as "that guy between Trump on the classroom poster," Biden may eventually scrape together enough cash to build a neighborhood book exchange in lieu of a library. He'll never live to see it, anyway. A legacy wrecked beyond repair, but there's no need to get all mopey. To paraphrase a line from the communist propaganda film It's a Wonderful Life: No man is a failure who has a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year award.
