The VAERS site would be the most promoted site in the world, and every failure from what would be deemed the “Trump Vaccine” would be blamed on him.
The anniversary of the withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a front page story about how woman and children are being treated by the regime and how said withdrawal (while done without leaving equipment & without heavy causalities) put those people back in the dark ages.
The devastating heat wave that hit this country would be blamed on him for not passing climate legislation.
There would be marches across the nation in blue cities tagging him as a bigot for suggesting that Monkeypox is a disease primarily spread by Gay Sex.
And Germany, France and the rest of Europe would still be laughing at him for suggesting they are too dependent on Russian Gas.

I was looking at Kurt Schlichter’s latest piece and there was a section in it that neatly summed up one of the things that is wrong with the country today:
What was the name of a guy fired for failing to win in Afghanistan, or Iraq for that matter?
What is the name of a guy who resigned and said “I’ll be no part of this idiocy?”
None.
No one.
When actions do not lead to consequences there is no incentive to perform. When there is no incentive to perform or get things right, things go to hell, and when you have government agencies acting like Henry Hill and Jimmy Conway when dealing those who want to fix the problems that’s worse.
Put simply our government is being run like a vast criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people and the FBI & authorities are acting like the mob enforcers to keep people in line.
Monday is the first anniversary of the fall of Kabul, the second-most ignominious event America endured in my lifetime, only the fall of Saigon was worse.
A month prior the more recent debacle, Joe Biden had this to say, “There’s going to be no circumstance where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable.” That did happen–and of course the two black eyes for America are quite comparable.
Biden did what he, well, sort of, does best. He blamed Donald Trump for the Taliban victory. True, Biden inherited the agreement engineered by Trump–not a treaty, but an agreement–for the United States military to depart Afghanistan last year. And Biden didn’t even hold to Trump’s agreement, he postponed the withdrawal of US troops from May 1 to the ominous date of September 11. Because of the rout of the Afghan government forces by the Taliban, we were gone in late August–but after the tragic murder by terrorists of 13 members our military.
What a mess.
Who was fired after Afghanistan fell? Not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark A. Milley (a Trump appointee), not secretary of State Anthony Blinken, not secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
As the Taliban mopped up in Afghanistan, Biden assured Americans that al Qaeda was gone from there. But a few weeks ago the leader of the terror group, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was living in Kabul. That is, until an American drone strike killed him.
Last year there was a supply-chain crisis. What member of the Biden cabinet should have been answerable for that? Pete Buttigieg, the secretary of Transportation, who we learned–only after the media came looking for him–was on paternity leave as the supply-chain crisis unfolded.
To be fair, Biden’s Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, recently admitted she was wrong when she said last year that inflation was “transitory.” But like Buttigieg, she’s still on the job.
Alejandro Mayorkas, the Homeland Secretary, claims our southern border is secure. (Insert the Kevin Bacon Animal House“all is well” meme here.) Mayorkas is a DC swamp critter that Biden seemingly found by looking for him under rocks. Yeah, I know, Mayorkas is simply following Biden’s far-left policy of open borders. And Jennifer Granholm, leading the Department of Energy, is kowtowing to the anti-energy zealotry of the extreme left. They are still on the job too.
Trump was a great steward of the American economy and he didn’t involve America in any new wars. And as a businessman he knew sometimes people have fired, his most prominent dismissals were his secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, and James Comey, the director of the FBI. Sadly, Trump botched the appointment of Comey’s replacement by naming Christopher Wray to that post.
Last month in this space I wrote that Biden’s attorney, general, Merrick Garland, was America’s worst AG since Harry M. Daugherty, a prominent member of Warren G. Harding’s corrupt “Ohio Gang.” I was wrong. After last week’s unprecedented raid on the home of a former president, Garland, the progenitor of our politicized two-tiered justice system, is worse.
Then again, “Moderate Merrick,” like Mayorkas and Granholm, is another clerk just taking orders.
Biden, a failed president who is clearly suffering from cognitive decline, can turn things around, a little bit, with one big firing.
Himself.
His vice president, Kamala Harris, could be a slightly better president. Biden dramatically lowered the standard.
God, I miss the Hitch. His response here to Shirley Williams and the question whether Salman Rushdie should’ve got a knighthood is a class act that no other pundit or thinker have managed or ever will manage to reach. pic.twitter.com/FzCVusR01v
Historically republics always commit suicide when the people are too comfortable, it’s just jarring to have lived to see America at it’s high of greatness to have fallen to where we are today and know that we, as a nation, did it to ourselves.
