Poor Joe, The Game Is Rigged Against You
– by David Matthews 2

This article is being posted on the last week of April, 2019. 

That is important. 

It means that there is a whole year before we really should be concerned about the 2020 Presidential Fraud.  A whole year of chaos and narcissistic madness going on around us as we wrongly focus our attention on the next electoral screwjob.

And we really should not be doing this!  We really should not be wasting one minute on next year when we have a malicious destructive narcissist in the White House today with a team of fascistic enablers and sociopaths in the Congress screwing over Americans and working on our country’s inevitable fall.

But we are focused on 2020.  Because this is what the political party bosses want, and because it is what the overpaid political “advisors” and “consultants” and “pollsters” want, and because it is what the owners of the media want.  It keeps them all paid.

But I’m none of those things, and I seem to be the only one with the courage to say no to the perpetual unending campaign cycle.  This death-cycle that keeps the bad things going indefinitely and castrates the will to do what is right.

Having said all that, I still have to feel sorry for Joe Biden right about now.

Just a few days prior to this column being posted, the former Vice President announced that he would once again become a presidential wannabe.  He joins an already-packed list of wannabees from all levels of politics, and that includes a GOP challenger to the orange-skinned Narcissist President Donald Trump.

And yet... I feel that the screwjob is already starting with him.

Even before he could make his announcement, Joe was dealing with a #metoo problem.  It seems Joe is a hand-on touchy-feely old guy, and, under any other circumstance, nobody would have a problem with it.  But we are in the age of the #metoo and #timesup movement, where any touch from a male is considered a “bad” touch.  And no apology will suffice the #metoo people.  None.  There is only “sackcloth-and-ashes” and “just go away forever”.

And then there is Anita Hill.  It seems Joe didn’t stand up for Anita Hill during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991.  Never mind that the subject of sexual harassment was still something most of us were just starting to figure out at the time, never mind agree that it is wrong, never mind something that warrants the wrath of God.  No, the #metoo crowd have it in their heads that Joe should be able to go back in time and smack his past self around and get himself to stand up for Anita Hill when it mattered.  Maybe borrow the DeLorean from “Back to the Future” or maybe get the Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos or use the Starship Enterprise or ask the Legends of Tomorrow or even Doctor Who.  (Just don’t ask Barry Allen about messing with time.  Sore subject for him.)

Of course, Joe has a lot more baggage to lug around than the other wannabes.  He has some explaining to do about his vote for the Iraq War.  He helped enact stricter crime laws and messed with bankruptcy laws in the 2000’s.  Things that today’s liberals and progressives are not big fans of.  Never mind the fact that he is an old white male career politician in a field full of diversity, and yet he’s considered their “best bet” against Narcissist Trump.

And, even if he doesn’t play this particular card, Joe Biden can also be seen as yet another one of those “entitled” Democrats who think that the office of the President is something that you are “deserved” because you “paid your dues” and “waited your turn”.  We just went through that with Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016 and before that in 2008, and that attitude of entitlement contributed to the orange-skinned narcissist winning the White House.  And that very perception of Democratic entitlement from yet another career politician could help keep Narcissist Trump in the White House for four more years.

There’s also the “he doesn’t have a plan” line.  As if every wannabe has to have everything mapped out before they can even announce their intentions.  Hey, “voting out Donald Trump” is as good of a plan as any right now.  He has a year to figure the rest out.

Let’s get brutally honest here… in a field full of wannabes, Joe Biden is just as good as anyone else in the mix.  It’s wrong to shoot him down now any more than it would be for any of the other challengers.  You don’t like him?  Fine, primary him out like everyone else.

In all honesty, though, I think Joe Biden’s best chance has come and gone.  He could have been the next president if he ran in 2016 as a successor to President Barack Obama’s eight years.  Sadly, that game was rigged against him and everyone else in that party thanks to Hillary and her friends.  And now he has a harder fight to get that nomination than any of the other wannabes simply because of his past.

Would I vote for him next year?  I really don’t know.  I know there is one person that I certainly will not vote for, and that is the fragile little self-centered snowflake with the cheap Jersey tan who thinks he is a king instead of a president.  For everyone else, you have one year to give me a reason why I should vote for you over the others.

Meanwhile, we cannot forget about the clown that sees himself a king.  If we do forget, we may not have a country left next year, never mind an election to worry about.
