Biden’s Balloon Playbook: Incompetence, Lying, Hiding, And Being Overruled
Sometimes, an event sums it all.
This is also true for the ‘Adventure of Joe Biden and the Chinese Spy Balloon.’ The incident displayed all of the stupidity and blunders of an administration that seems incapable of stepping on any foot without falling. The balloon saga, once again, occasioned the White House’s usual unfortunate mix of incompetence, lying, hiding, and being overruled. This is just another day in the Biden presidency.
Let’s begin with the incompetence. Joe Biden and his gang of nitwits were shocked to hear that a Chinese surveillance satellite had been detected over Montana last week. They also appeared completely without a plan. Even though they knew for days that the balloon was there, this surprised Joe Biden and his gaggle of nitwits. You have entered the US airspaceIt was known, through some reporting, for several weeks that it was coming.
What happened when the public discovered it? Biden allowed the spy device to travel across the entire country before finally taking it down. Literally the plan was, we’re just gonna let it float around for a few days.
This brings us to the lies. When the news of the spy balloon dropped, The State Department told us Secretary Anthony Blinken was cancelling his planned trip to China because of China’s “irresponsible act.” We found out that the White House knew about the balloon for several days shortly after. So this wasn’t some slap in the face of China for daring to violate U.S. airspace, as it was presented. Anthony Blinken These were all things I knew very well This is how it works “irresponsible act” He had no idea what had happened and was packing his pajamas anyway for Beijing. The balloon was not discovered by the public.
Joe Biden went into hiding as usual at this point. As the media swarmed like vultures around the story and calls to shoot the balloon down intensified the president had little to say and wasn’t taking many questions. Biden was in the basement again. This was at a time when he should’ve been reassuring Americans that anyone knew what was going on and how to stop it.
We finally get to Joe Biden being overruled. It was revealed that the president wanted to kill it on Wednesday but his military advisors advised him otherwise. Just like when he announced that the United States would go to war to defend Taiwan and his advisors overruled him, saying the policy hadn’t changed, just like every time he tells us his handlers will “get mad at me” If he asks the wrong question. Joe Biden has ever made a decision on his behalf?
These four elements — incompetence, lying, hiding, and being overruled — are the four corners of the Biden administration. This playbook is used over and over again.
Check out the classified documents scandal.
The incompetence involved tracking top secrets all around the place like a piece of toilet paper stuck on his shoe. Joe claimed that there were only a few items in DC, but he knew of the Delaware documents. This was the lying. The hiding is the absurd claim that the White House can’t talk about this because of the investigation, a claim denied by the Department of Justice. Finally, the president saying he doesn’t know what’s in the documents because, “his lawyers had advised him not to even ask what was in the files,” It is an example of Joe Biden being overthrown.
These four elements are applicable to almost every Biden mishap. And there is a good reason they do it over and over and over again — because they know that even when they’re caught in a lie, the media will make excuses for them. This is the only way to ensure that nothing changes. The Obama administration will continue to deceive the American people by trying to push Grandpa Joe across the finish line for 2024 or under their bus.
Whatever foul leviathan is actually running American policy out of the White House, because by his own admission it’s not Joe Biden, is absolutely ruthless. They will lie forever, safe in the knowledge that our news giants will protect them, usually by finding some way to make the story Trump’s fault.
We have two more years left. The good news is nothing this administration has done in the first two suggests they can correct their course and restore America’s faith in Biden. There are those who say Biden’s is the worst presidency, but maybe it’s not a presidency at all, maybe instead, it is a playbook of lies meant to capture as much power as possible while the old man dithers.
