Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again- Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson, authors; Jake Tapper, narrator
Most of what these two authors exposed was already well-known. Most of it was slanted to favor Biden and unfairly trash Trump, especially with the way they used descriptive language regarding the both of them. For Trump, the language was meant to be insulting and negative, pointing out his shortcomings, emphasizing that they seemed to be man-made and purposeful. For Biden, the language seemed meant to excuse him and his behavior because his shortcomings were pretty much described as beyond his control, as part of the natural progression of life or as simply “good old Joe” being Joe, shall we say. Both descriptions about both men, however, were patently false and unfair presentations, unworthy of journalists. The only people who denied knowing the obvious were the people directly involved in the Biden administration and/or those reporting on it. Of course, they were not telling the truth. if outsiders saw what was happening, they sure did too. The idea that the White House staff thought that Hunter’s crimes were insignificant and that he was only charged because Joe was President, while that very White House actually helped to create and charge a former President with crimes to prevent his opposition in the coming election, was ludicrous. Then the idea that Hunter was being unfairly attacked while they raided the home of the former President, for the possession of classified documents he was allowed to possess, and disregarded Biden’s possession of the very classified documents he was not allowed under any circumstances to possess, stretched credibility to its extreme. It forced everyone to discard disbelief. It was the height of dishonesty and hypocrisy. Then you have the oligarchy that the radical left rails against, the oligarchy that the AOC and Bernie Sanders cult pretends does not exist on the left, though they raised over a billion dollars to support a candidate chosen by unseemly means, who was supported by the very oligarchs they railed against, the very influential elites donating to their party and their campaigns that forced President Biden to finally cancel the run for his second term as President. It seemed they were like the people in Germany who never noticed their missing neighbors or the smell of burning flesh that surrounded them.
So, if you expected an apology or a mea culpa, you will be sadly disappointed. This book is supposed to reveal the truth, but the authors stretched it out of shape so much that it sometimes resembled science fiction. Joe Biden’s Presidency is still under investigation for fraud because the results defied logic and past performances. Absentee ballots had been stolen and, in some cases, discarded. The counting of ballots was interrupted, but then continued without Republican observers present. They had been thrown out. Legal cases were dismissed based on procedure, not credibility, and now we know that contrary to what SCOTUS Justice Roberts said, we most assuredly have left and right judges. The scales of Justice were being tilted in the favor of Democrats because they dominated the Justice system. The tactics that were used and the circumstances of the times, with the Covid Pandemic excusing unconstitutional changes in voting laws, that they coupled with the lawfare conducted during Biden’s Presidency against his opponent, that there was far more to unpack than these authors exposed. This book is presenting information a bit disingenuously, to put it mildly, in order to excuse their own failures when they covered President Biden. The outlandish results of the 2020 election need far more exposure than this book provides. We all know that Joe Biden was infirm, unwell, and mentally unfit. These facts were hidden, at first, under false pretenses, but those who were not deafened, muted or blinded by their left-wing and Progressive dogma, knew it from the get-go. Those that pretended not to know, even as each day passed and his incompetence became more and more obvious should be held accountable.
It wasn’t the debate that did Biden in; it was the fact that the play had ended. Their deceit was completely criminal. It wasn’t Biden’s age, it was his lack of competence, a competence he never possessed. He was created by the Democrats and their false narratives, and possibly so were the votes. The evidence is in the behavior of both Presidents. Trump works 24/7, is totally transparent and answers questions, meets frequently with his advisors and world leaders. Biden worked a few hours a day, declared a lid very often, rarely if ever met with his cabinet members, vacationed at the beach most every weekend, and often seemed unable to work at all and seemed unaware of his surroundings. Yet the hateful rhetoric of the left continues straight through this supposed reveal and in the main street media today. The idea that it was okay to hide Biden’s incompetence and unfitness for the office from the public eye, and make no mistake, it was hidden, is beyond the pale. How any Democrat could believe that Trump was more of a threat to Democracy then Biden, in his condition, supports the idea of the false narrative that was created to demonize Trump, but it defies reality. Who is the real Trump? Few people know, what they do know now is that he was railroaded, but few will admit to it or rectify their atrocious behavior, certainly not Jake Tapper. Their show is over, however. The final curtain has come down. It wasn’t the debate that did Biden in, at all. It was the fact that the Twilight Zone no longer existed. It was created to shield an incompetent Joe Biden from the scrutiny he and the Democrat Party deserved. It excused poor behavior and exacerbated it. We are now watching their treachery play out in NYC as a Socialist Democrat is elected, in San Francisco with violent protests, in Chicago as the mayor defies law enforcement on immigration, and as society descends into the very chaos and threat to democracy they feared from Trump, that they have actually birthed for our nation because of their deception. lies and continued violent rhetoric.
Who was the President from 2020 to 2024? That is what this book should have exposed, not more of the same lack of transparency that has led to the current disunity that exists in the United States.
