President Joe Biden fell up the stairs, as if a metaphor for his career.
Last year, when President Donald Trump ultra-carefully walked down a ramp, corporate media “journalists” regaled us with much rumination on how old he looked. But last week, legacy media made little of Biden’s stumbling up the red carpet to Airforce One. It was opposition media that went all abuzz. The corporate halls of propaganda merely mouthed the White House’s official spin: Biden’s doing fine; he exited the plane with aplomb.
But at some point, Biden will fall down, not up.
Remember when members of the administrative state were outed as conspiring to marshal the 25th Amendment against Trump? Well, at some point that will likely happen to Biden. Is he not too old for a full term, much less two? His usefulness as a marionette will at some point cease, and the strings will be cut.
Or, as he himself suggested, he would merely resign.
But Amendment XXV may prove less important than Amendment XXII: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.”
If Vice President Kamala Harris is being groomed to replace Biden, the plan may be to string out Biden’s term of incompetency to two years and a day — to allow nearly a decade in office.
But whether Joe can manage to soldier on for that long, or we will witness a Weekend At Bernie’s III, is anybody’s guess.

I readily imagine the Democrats seeking a decade of President Harris, but it will be rather more difficult for them to get it, even if President Joe manages to stay in office just the right amount of time. We are more likely to have two or six years of her. And, if it’s six years rather than two, the backlash may get very, very ugly for those who try to maintain what has been the prevailing Narrative.
