Joe Biden’s unraveling act could become the Democrats’ undoing, and if they don’t leash their wayward leader fast, the repercussions will be devastating. The commander-in-chief’s ongoing struggle to maintain composure and clarity during crucial interactions has morphed into a theater of confusion and hostility, particularly when faced with a critique.
Recently, during a Zoom meeting with Democrats, Biden’s shaky grasp on reality and patience reached a new low. Colorado Democrat and Army veteran Rep. Jason Crow bore the brunt of Biden’s fury when he voiced concerns regarding the President’s advanced age and cognitive slide being a national security risk. It’s almost as if Biden mistook a session with his party’s faithful for a gladiatorial contest, perhaps indicative of some larger dissatisfaction broiling inside him.
Crow, a Bronze Star recipient, seemed to tread on Biden’s delicate nerves, arousing the President’s combative side. In a torrent of self-praise, Biden declared he assembled NATO like a modern-day puzzle master and dared anyone to find an ally who thought less of him. He even dragged his late son, Beau Biden, into the mix in a bizarre comparison to Crow’s military accolades. If alienating a decorated American hero was Biden’s goal, he sure accomplished it.
But wait, there’s more drama from the Biden camp. Democrats are now left picking up the pieces after this meltdown, spotlighting the President’s incoherent rants and forgetfulness. It’s hilarious if it weren’t so tragic. This latest episode overshadowed Biden’s previous disaster—a debate flop that looked more like a high school lunchroom squabble than a presidential match-up.
And as if the zoom debacle wasn’t enough, Biden delivered another disoriented performance at the 115th NAACP National Convention. Losing his temper, the President sounded more like an irate bingo caller upset with a missed number than a leader addressing a critical national issue. His screeching about gun deaths in America came off like another round of his greatest nonsensical hits and left viewers cringing in embarrassment.
“Tell me who did something that you’ve never done with your Bronze Star like my son,” Rutabaga went full dementia-rage on Congressman Crow, a Bronze Star winner yelling at him. "Tell me! Tell me!"
Can Rutabaga say one thing that doesn't include St. Beau?https://t.co/anRSXjXwwL

It’s becoming increasingly clear the Democrats have a time bomb in their ranks. Biden’s frazzled state and erratic behavior are sapping the party’s chances for November, making it apparent to everyone, from party insiders to everyday voters, that Biden isn’t fit to campaign, let alone lead. No PR spin, no dutiful party narrative, no amount of teleprompter gymnastics can mask the decline anymore.
Biden’s treatment of Crow marks yet another blunder Democrats can’t afford. With the threat of eroded respect and sagging morale within their ranks, it’s high time they reconsider their strategy. As the clock ticks, it’s not just Biden’s political future at stake; it’s the fate of the Democratic Party itself.
