Now Comes The Great Cackle That Saved America

Hurrah, they finally took away Grandpa Joe’s keys. Fortunately, the political upheaval that is sure to follow is no joke. Actually, it begs to turn out more like the Great Cackle that saved America.

What we mean is that the collective Dem Hive on the banks of the Potomac not only defenestrated “Joe Biden” from a second floor White House window, and did so unceremoniously and without regard for his frail infirmities, but it also effectively knee-capped the credibility of the whole Democrat Party by coronating Kamala Harris in one instantaneous fell swoop. And that’s the real hurrah!

After all, the Dems held a “primary” in which 15 million of the party faithful voted for “Joe Biden” because the party insiders had instituted up to 60 rules changes and process maneuvers that closed the door to all competition—most especially Robert Kennedy Jr. Indeed, these procedural roadblocks were so daunting that they surely would have prevented even FDR or the Lord Jesus Christ himself from challenging their handpicked champion of “saving democracy” in America.

Yet these same warriors for “democracy” have already—-within hours of the Tweet signed by “Joe Biden”—anointed Kamala Harris as the new presumptive nominee. Never mind what the 3,896 delegates “pledged” to Joe Biden might think or even what the 747 superdelegates pledged to the donor class might prefer. The beltway insiders and their K-street capos were not about to have an open convention—lest an unseemly row in Chicago open the door to a Trumpian return to the Oval Office. And that’s absolutely verboten because, well, democracy.

In any event, never before has a major party jettisoned its “presumptive nominee” less than 15 weeks before election day. Even in the case of Lyndon Johnson’s unexpected exit in 1968 his withdrawal happened in March, and no shadowy clique of Washington insiders and careerists put a horse’s head in his bed, either.

In fact, LBJ could read the polls like few others. And after the Tet Offensive in February 1968 and Uncle Walter Cronkite’s pronouncement that the Vietnam war was lost, he could see that his chances for another term were doomed, as well.

Moreover, LBJ didn’t just send a courier to drop-off a bland statement at the White House press room on a Sunday afternoon. To the contrary, he spoke to the American public directly from the Oval Office, leaving no doubt that it was his decision to drop out of the race, and that he would be deploying his ample political energies and savvy to steering the then wobbling ship of state for the balance of his term.

After Sunday’s insider rug-pull, however, “Joe Biden’s” swan song couldn’t have contrasted more sharply. As one wag noted today,
